Gemma Collins would marry James 'Arg' Argent if he popped the question.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star - who recently split from fiancé Rami Hawash - has had an on/off relationship with her co-star in the past and she admits she would tie the knot given the chance, and anticipates it being a momentous occasion.
She said: "I wouldn't think twice about it [marrying Arg]. It'd be the ultimate 'TOWIE' wedding. Tom Pearce will tell you. "
Gemma probed her co-star Tom - who is also Arg's pal - and he replied: "Yeah, he's in love."
The blonde beauty admits she has a "soft spot" for Arg and would be at his beck and call if he ever needed her.
She exclaimed: "Arg has always been in my mind. There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. If he rang me up at three o'clock in the morning and asked me to bring him a chicken stew, I'd do it. We're always kissing and cuddling behind the scenes during filming."
Gemma insists a fortune teller has read her future and thinks she will settle down will her 'TOWIE' co-star, who she'll also have a child with.
She added to Now magazine: "I've been to thousands of fortune tellers. This lady comes to my house with her pendulum and she reckons I'll have a baby and marry Arg. I tell him, 'I'm sexy and I know it - and you know it, Arg!' If he said, 'Will you be my girlfriend?', I'd throw a big party."

Kieron Richardson misses Emmet J. Scanlan


Kieron Richardson misses former 'Hollyoaks' co-star Emmet J. Scanlan.
The 28-year-old actor - who plays Ste Hay in the Channel 4 soap - admits it's "weird" not finding scenes between his character and Emmet's Brendan Brady - who left Hollyoaks village last year - when he flicks through his scripts.
He said: "I can't lie about it - there's a big gaping hole in each day! It's weird to pick up a script and not see a Ste and Brendan scene. Whenever I'm filming and there's a Brendan moment, I think , 'Oh, I wonder if Emmet is watching?'
"I do get a little message off him now and again and I'm proud that he's doing so well.
"It's surreal to see him without his moustache, though!"
Kieron has been involved in numerous dramatic since joining 'Hollyoaks' in 2006, but he says his favourite is the assisted suicide storyline featuring Ste's mum Pauline (Julie Hogarth).
He revealed to Inside Soap magazine: "It was really draining emotionally and I had to push myself into quite a dark place and use stuff I'd gone through in my personal life to get there. It was kind of traumatic and it's disturbing to watch back because I remember how upset I was during those scenes. But I felt really pleased with it all."

Bryan Adams turned down The Voice


Bryan Adams turned down an offer to become a coach on 'The Voice' UK.
The '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You' singer finds it "cringey" to watch the show and is relieved that he snubbed a seat on the panel ahead of its UK launch two years ago because he would rather concentrate on his music career.
Bryan told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I got asked to be a coach on 'The Voice' when it started but I didn't want to do it.
"I'd rather be writing my own music than sitting on a chair, judging people."
The show, which is currently in its third series, sees will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones return as coaches alongside Kylie Minogue and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. However, Bryan admits he hasn't enjoyed watching the show.
He explained: "I watched it the other day. I saw Tom Jones hesitating all the time and I thought, 'That would have been me', and I would be doing that the whole time. It would be really cringey."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' UK has seen a boost in ratings this year since Kylie's debut on the talent show.
In the US, the show is in its sixth season, with Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Usher and Shakira returning as coaches.

The 27-year-old singer appeared on the ITV chat show this afternoon to promote her new single 'All That I've Got', which she performed for the live audience, but as the track came to an end she appeared to faint on stage.

'Coronation Street's' Tina McIntyre "hates being the other woman".
Actress Michelle Keegan, whose character is embroiled in a love triangle with Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) and his wife Carla (Alison King), says her barmaid alter-ego is experiencing inner-turmoil over her actions of late.
She said: "She hates being the other woman - it's something Tina never thought she'd be. She doesn't want to betray Carla but her feelings for Peter override everything. Tina can't understand how he can be with her and then flit off to his wife. But he'd never leave Carla for her."
Tina is overcome with guilt as she continues her affair with her pal's husband, but Michelle admits the character is "blinded" by her lothario lover, who tells her he loves her in coming weeks.
The actress explained: "Peter knows it's what Tina wants to hear, and he's right. She's so blinded by love for Peter that she can't see him for what he is. he does care for her in a way but he loves his wife Carla, not Tina."
Carla will soon discover she's pregnant with Peter's baby and the news is sure to come as a blow to young Tina.
Michelle, 25, added to Inside Soap magazine: "Tina will be utterly devastated. She really wants a child and to find out that Peter wants another one, just not with her, will be a slap in the face."

Angela Rippon to front new game show


Angela Rippon will front a new ITV game show.
The former newsreader and 'Take Me Out' presenter Paddy McGuiness will co-host 'Amazing Greys', which pits young people against "some of the UK's most talented pensioners".
A source told the Sun newspaper:"Each of the Amazing Greys [the pensioners] has an incredible talent they have spent a lifetime perfecting - be it physical, mental or something completely unique to them.
"The contestants will face a maximum of three Amazing Greys. If they can beat two of the three, they will leave with £10,000. If they don't they will leave with nothing."
The format is reminiscent of former BBC game show 'The Generation Game' - famously hosted by Bruce Forsyth in 1971 - which featured four different families pit old against the young in a bid to win prizes.
Angela says she looking forward to the new format and will be encouraging the elder generation throughout the competition.
She said: "The show will celebrate some of the most talented senior citizens and I will be there to cheer them on as they take on the younger contestants."
'Amazing Greys' will air on ITV in the spring.

John Challis feels guilty over Roger Lloyd-Pack’s death


John Challis felt guilty when he learned Roger Lloyd-Pack had passed away.
The 71-year-old actor starred alongside the comedy legend for over two decades in 'Only Fools and Horses', and although he tried to contact his close friend the day before he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last month, he still feels guilty.
He said: "I was sitting at my computer and I saw it on the internet ... I just put my head in my hands, I couldn't believe it. It was a terrible shock.
"You get afflicted by a sort of guilt. I felt guilty, that I should have done more, I should have known more - not that you can change anything."
John - who played second-hand car dealer Boycie in the long running sitcom - also revealed that he was disappointed he wasn't able to say goodbye to his pal, who was known for his role as dopey road-sweeper Trigger.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I wanted to say goodbye. But I understand why he didn't want it out there. He didn't want anyone to know he was ill."
Although he's sad to be losing more friends as he gets older, John's glad he still has memories with Roger and their fellow stars Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst to look back on when he's feeling down.
He added: "In times like this I do think of 'Only Fools' and it makes me smile again. Although there is always that worry because you look back and see yourself 30 years ago. You say, 'Where has all our hair gone? Where is all our energy?' "

EastEnders’ Janine to get away with murder again?


EastEnders' Janine Butcher could get away with murder again.
The scheming character - who is currently awaiting trial over the murder of her husband Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) - is set to walk free, new on-set pictures suggest.
Charlie Brooks, who plays villainous Janine, was spotted filming scenes yesterday (26.02.14) which see Janine enjoying a glass of champagne before boarding a Eurostar train to Paris, France.
Janine previously dodged a prison sentence after pushing first husband Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson) off a cliff in 2004.
The murderous Walford character appears to have struck a deal with the returning Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) to avoid a second murder sentence, agreeing to drop charges against Stacey for stabbing her in exchange for Kat testifying that she saw Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) kill Michael.
Stacey fled the UK in 2010 after Janine assaulted herself and pinned the blame on the Walford favourite after discovering she killed Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb).
A soap source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Janine could see it as the perfect opportunity to make some sort of deal. Her trial for killing husband Michael Moon is looming. And Stacey knows Janine is the only one who can help her.
"It's Janine who holds all the cards to Stacey's future. But with Janine languishing in prison there's no reason why she'd want to help Stacey unless there was something in it for her."
Both Janine and Alice are awaiting trial for the murder of Michael, who was stabbed by Alice - coming to Janine's defence - but it was Janine who finished the job.
