Justin Lee Collins apologises for ‘disgusting behaviour’


Justin Lee Collins has apologised for his "disgusting behaviour" towards ex-girlfriend Anna Larke.
The 39-year-old former TV personality was convicted of harassing his ex-girlfriend and sentenced to 140 hours of unpaid work 17 months ago after a court was played a recording on an argument between the pair in which he refers to Anna as a "f*****g slag" and "dirty, vile whore", and he's now spoken out to take responsibility for his actions.
He said: "I will regret what I said for the rest of my life. It was irrational, bizarre and disgusting. I've tried to make sense of it but I can't.
"I am entirely to blame for the awful things that came out of my mouth during that argument. But at that point in my life I was a troubled soul."
Justin - who rose to fame as the host of Channel 4's 'Friday Night Project' alongside Alan Carr - was working on the west end show 'Rock of Ages' at the time of his arrest and he claims it felt "surreal" when he appeared in court.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I couldn't believe what was happening. Even when I was in the dock, it didn't feel like it was me on trial. It was surreal. I was thinking, 'How have I got here?'"
Speaking about his arguments with PR worker Anna, he added: "It was an absolute car crash of a relationship. Some of the arguments were deeply personal, embarrassing and mortifying to relive.
"To have my mum read about all these things was terrible."
Although Justin hasn't worked in TV since the trial, he claims he's still friends with Alan Carr and former Radio 1 DJ Chris Evans and he's now "in a relationship and really happy."

Sam Faiers and Joey Essex back together


Sam Faiers and Joey Essex are back together.
The 23-year-old 'The Only Way is Essex' star recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease after suffering with a mystery illness for over a month, and she's now said to be back together with her former TOWIE star ex-boyfriend.
A source said: "Joey was devastated when he heard about Sam's condition and instantly wanted to be there for her.
"The situation has thrown them back together and they are now closer than ever."
It has been revealed however that Joey - who quit the ITV reality show last year for a stint in the 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here Jungle' - will not return to the show to play out his rekindled romance with Sam.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Joey is not going to be returning to TOWIE so they are keen for their relationship to stay off the screen."
Meanwhile Sam has admitted that she is relieved now that she knows what was making her so ill but she's worried about the amount of weight she's lost.
She said: "I'm going to get [sister] Billie [Faiers] to get me some of those padded knickers.
"We spend all of our time wanting to lose weight but life's about being healthy."

Luisa Zissman introduces Dappy to parents


Luisa Zissman's parents have met Dappy.
The former 'Apprentice' star hit it off with the rapper in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house earlier this year and since then they have been spending time together.
The brunette beauty insists her parents have taken to the "sweet" former N-Dubz star, but the pair are yet to confirm their relationship.
Talking about a party they recently attended together, she said: "Well, it wasn't just us two, so it wasn't romantic. It was just me, my manager, Dappy's team and my parents - they get along very well with Dappy, they think he's very sweet."
She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "Dappy has met my parents and my dad loves him because he's Greek. So he's got my dad's seal of approval."
While Luisa hasn't met Dappy's parents she has been in touch with his famous cousin Tulisa Contostavlos and reckons the pair are similar.
He said: "Lulu hasn't met my mum but I know my family would love me to date her."
Luisa chimed: "I have met Dappy's cousin Tulisa. I love her!"
Dappy added: "They're so similar! When Lulu and I had that big row on 'Big Brother' it was because she reminds me so much of T."

Geordie Shore’s Gary Beadle tries vampire facial


Geordie Shore's Gary Beadle had a vampire facial in preparation for the new series.
The 25-year-old hunk has followed in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian by trying out the disturbing beauty treatment - which involves injecting a patient's own blood back into their face in a bid to treat wrinkles and rejuvenate the face - and he appears to be happy with the results.
He wrote on his Instagram account: "So tried 1 of them VAMPIRE FACIALS think my face was bleeding a lot more then yours Kim.. Ouch worth it tho....#dermaroller #freshface #sore (sic)."
The ladies man - who is known as 'Gaz' on the MTV reality show - should be looking radiant if he returns for the new series, as although the cast hasn't been confirmed, it has been revealed that filming will begin next month and a source has claimed that Gary's keen to look "better than ever".
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "[He] wants to make sure he's not shown up by any young guns... keep his spot as number one ladies' man."
Gaz's co-stars Sophie Kasei and Vicky Pattison were both asked to leave the show last year - although they've admitted they'd like to return - but 'Geordie Shore' veterans Scot 'Scotty T' Timlin, Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan are favourites to return for series 8.

Philip Schofield will never enter ‘The Cube’


Phillip Schofield will never compete on 'The Cube'.
The TV presenter will host a new series of the programme - which sees contestants attempt to complete difficult tasks all within the space of a cube - starting tonight (01.03.14), and although he says he's tried a few of the challenges himself, he'll never compete live on air.
He said: "I wouldn't go in but I have played some of the games. Some I have been brilliant at, some I have been useless."
The 51-year-old host of 'This Morning' also spoke about one contestant on the ITV show who took nearly an hour to complete just one challenge, and claims it was tiresome to watch.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he joked: "I nearly forced the doors open to tell him to get on the beam! He had a lot of money to win or lose but it was 58 minutes of time that I will never get back."
Phillip also opened up about the end of 'Dancing on Ice' - which he presents with Christine Bleakley - as the final series reaches the semi-finals on Sunday (02.03.14).
He said: "I am sad that the team has been together for nine years and won't be back again for another, but I am incredibly proud of the show."

Ant and Dec surprised by Gordon Ramsey’s reaction


Ant and Dec were shocked by Gordon Ramsey's reaction to their prank for 'Saturday Night Takeaway'.
The comedy duo decided to play a trick on the foul-mouthed TV chef for a sketch for their ITV show - which sees them disguise themselves as clumsy handymen on his TV set in Los Angeles - but they didn't expect him to get quite so annoyed.
Declan Donnelly said: "We were lucky. We did think he might be really nice about it but he loses it completely."
Gordon - who is famous for his obscene rants on programmes such as 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares' - was not impressed by the pair's work as handymen and Anthony McPartlin revealed that there were a lot of swear words to edit out of tonight's (01.03.14) episode.
Speaking on 'The Graham Norton Show' last night (28.02.14), he added: "The lawyers are still counting the bleeps!"
The 47-year-old chef has vowed to get his revenge on the 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here' presenters, saying: "That's the most scared I've been in my life.
"I had no idea. I swear to God, I'm going to get you back."

Kylie Minogue’s dancing cut from ‘The Voice’


Kylie Minogue's sexy dancing had to be cut from 'The Voice'.
The 45-year-old singer shocked viewers earlier this year as she flirted with former The Streets star Leo Ihenacho when he auditioned for the talent show, and now the programme's bosses have been forced to edit scenes which see her Twerking against the singer.
A source from the show revealed: "Kylie and Leo have great chemistry, but they got a little carried away and it became lap-dance-esque.
"There are certain grinding scenes that we've only shown from the top up. Her skirt was way too short for a full length shot."
Leo appears to be enjoying the attention from the 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' singer as he's now admitted that he'd like to date the star and hopes being on the BBC One programme will give him the chance to do so.
He told the Sun newspaper: "I want to woo her, I think I'm going to use this whole show to woo Kylie."
Kylie and Leo's outrageous flirting will not be the only shock for viewers on tonight's (01.03.14) show however as audience's will also see Kylie's fellow mentors Will.i.am and Ricky Wilson clash over one of the contestants.
Will.i.am says of the argument with the Kaiser Chief's frontman: "He let a supreme being exit the scene."

EastEnders’ Samantha Womack returning as Ronnie Mitchell


Samantha Womack is preparing for her return to EastEnders as "complete psychopath" Ronnie Mitchell.
The 41-year-old actress departed the soap earlier this year after her character murdered Carl White (Daniel Coonan) as he tried to attack her, and she's now getting ready to make her return to the soap, but claims her character is on the edge.
She said: "She's a complete psychopath and a ticking timebomb! By rights she should be bound and gagged in a corner, quietly rocking and humming to herself. Ronnie is more dysfunctional than ever."
Ronnie - who is Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden) cousin on the BBC One soap - outdid the notorious hard man himself by committing murder and Samantha claims this makes him nervous around her.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper's we love tv magazine, she explains: "Even Phil hasn't committed murder. For the first time, we see that Phil is actually scared of Ronnie, because he thinks she is vying for position as top dog of the Mitchells.
Ronnie's feud with her victim Carl began when her sister, Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), started dating the known criminal following her split from Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie) but Samantha has found it difficult to play such a volatile character.
She added: "Ronnie used to have such heart before, and she's changed in quite an unpalatable way, so it's been a real departure. It has been challenging to play, but also rewarding."
Samantha will make her return to Albert Square next week.

While their relationship is going well the red-head is still not used to the extra attention she gets when she's spotted out with the hunk.
