Scotty T to distance himself from Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell


Scotty T doesn't want to be friends with Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell anymore.
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' champion vows he will only remain friends with a few of his former housemates and the turbulent couple haven't made the cut as their relationship is out of control and is made on a bed of lies.
Speaking exclusively to BANG showbiz, he said: "I don't want to be friends with them because I feel as if they have gone off the rails. I mean Jeremy, when he left 'Big Brother', apparently he said some things about me. He was like 'Scotts been getting with Megan [McKenna] but he's got a girlfriend.' But, she's not my girlfriend, it's just a girl I've been meeting. Then apparently he had a presenting job and he missed it. Steph just does my head in because she is a liar. But, Steph when the whole thing in 'Big Brother' when she came in she was like, 'I've got a boyfriend. I want to marry him. I love him, I love him.' Then she pulled Jeremy she said: 'My boyfriend's done so many bad things to me' using that as an excuse because she got with Jeremy."
The 'Geordie Shore' lothario may have struck up a close bond with Jeremy in the infamous abode but he's keen to distance himself from him now as he disapproves of the Irish model's reckless behaviour.
He said: "I just think Jeremy is not doing himself any favours, and I don't really want to associate myself with that because I can get out of that.
"Last year I was out loose going out every day but I'm in work mode so trying to keep myself to myself."

Sarah Lancashire considered suicide


Sarah Lancashire has considered suicide.
The 'Happy Valley' actress has battled with depression since she was 17 but has admitted the illness got out of control in her early twenties and almost ruined her career.
She explained: "Tranquillisers were the worst thing for it. I ended up in a terrible mess. My twenties were a write-off. It's a cruel illness because you can't see it and you can hide it so well. At least, I can. I'm a genius at hiding it. I think a lot of people are. Actors are bloody marvellous at hiding.
"In my early days depression did inhibit me because I was too debilitated and terrified to tell anyone why I couldn't get on a train from Manchester for auditions in London."
The 51-year-old star saw her career take off in 1991 after she was cast as ditzy barmaid Raquel Watts, who she played for five years, on 'Coronation Street' but during her half-a-decade on the soap, Sarah suffered a 14-month-long breakdown.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "Purely coincidentally I had been written out of the soap for 10 weeks, so I was lucky. it was a like a time bomb waiting to go off."

Charlotte Crosby: ‘I’ve never been in a relationship with Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle


Charlotte Crosby has claimed she's never been in a proper "relationship" with Gary 'Gaz' Beadle.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has recently sparked rumours she's rekindled her romance with the 27-year-old hunk following a series of flirty online exchanges and cosy behaviour abroad but she's adamant they've never nor will they be an exclusive couple.
She explained: "I'm not back with Gary. We've never been in a relationship. We're best of friends, at the end of the day, and sometimes we kiss and have sex."
And, although Gary has been gushing about being back on track with the blonde beauty, the 25-year-old star believes that ship has sailed as she'll never be able to trust him again.
She said: "I don't trust him! I don't think I'll ever be able to trust him. I don't think it's a bad thing to say because of everything he's put me through and what he's done to previous girlfriends like Lillie [Lexie Gregg]. He finished with her!"
Meanwhile, Gaz may not be "the one" for Charlotte any more but she hopes to find the perfect man in the next few years.
She told NOW magazine: "I'd like to meet 'the one' in the next few years as I want to spend as much of my life with them as possible. And then have a child when I'm 30."

Jack Dee has quit The Apprentice: You’re Fired


Jack Dee has quit 'The Apprentice: You're Fired'.
The 54-year-old stand-up comedian has decided to turn his back on the spin-off show - which airs an hour after the main show 'The Apprentice' and reflects on the shenanigans - after just one series in order to pursue other work commitments.
He explained: "It's been a tough decision to leave 'You're Fired.' I'd like to thank 'The Apprentice' team, BBC Two, the candidates and the 'Big Man' Lord Alan Sugar himself for making me feel so welcome but now, in keeping with 'The Apprentice' tradition and I am firing myself."
Jack took on the hosting gig last year following the departure of Dara Ó Briain, who presented the BBC2 programme for five years, in 2015 but his replacement is yet to be chosen.
However, it's believed the regular guest panellists - such as Romesh Ranganathan - are the front runners for the role at the moment.
Meanwhile, Jack's swift exit won't come as too much of a surprise to fans as he's currently tied up shooting the second series of 'Josh' as well as hosting his Radio Four show 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'.

Ross Kemp is ‘wetting himself’ at EastEnders return


Ross Kemp is "wetting himself" at the thought of reprising his role as bad boy Grant Mitchell in 'EastEnders' this year.
The 51-year-old actor will return to the long-running soap for three weeks later this summer but has admitted he's riddled with nerves about rejoining the programme after spending the last few years working on hard hitting documentaries.
Ross - who made a brief return in 2006 following his official departure in 1999 - said: "I'm panicking about everything. About whether I've lost the ability to learn all the lines.
"About whether I can cope with it all. The middle-class ethics I was brought up with. I worry about letting people down, letting myself down. That's my biggest fear.
"It's going to be like going back to sixth form. I've had sniper rounds go through the wall behind me, and I am quite cool under fire. I'm good at dealing with things like that. But I'm wetting myself at the thought of going back to 'EastEnders'."
But the investigative journalist seemingly had no choice but to return to the soap as Dame Barbara Windsor, who plays his on-screen mother Peggy Mitchell, told him he had to be there for her forthcoming emotional departure scenes.
He told the Radio Times magazine: "It's impossible to say no to Barbara."
The whole Mitchell clan - including Phil (Steve McFadden), mega-bitch Sam (Danniella Westbrook) and Grant - will rally around the matriarch as she loses her battle with cancer.

Julie Walters for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!?


Julie Walters wants to compete on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' - but fears she's "too old" now.
The 66-year-old actress is keen to slip into her jungle gear and head out into the Australian outback when the tough jungle-based show returns to screens later this year but she thinks her age will stop her from nabbing the gig.
She explained to the Radio Times magazine: "The one show that makes me think, 'I could do that' is always 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'. Of course but I'd never do it because of the spiders, but the thought of overcoming fear is quite interesting to me. But I'm too old now."
But that isn't the only show on her radar at the moment as Julie is open to pulling on heavily crystal-encrusted gowns and hitting the dance floor for 'Strictly Come Dancing' as well, although she doesn't think she could handle nasty judge Craig Revel-Horwood's rude remarks on her bad posture.
She said: "It would be a toss up between that and 'Strictly Come Dancing' but I couldn't bear Craig Revel-Horwood telling me, 'Stand up, dear!' because of my posture."

Grantchester to head abroad?


'Grantchester' will be shot abroad next year.
Robson Green - who portrays Geordie Keating in the detective drama - has teased he and James Norton, who plays Reverend Sidney Chambers, will be jetting to Italy for series three as they attempt to crack a case overseas.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "There is talk of going abroad. If series two does the figures, we're off in series three. We'll probably go to Italy. I reckon we'll be based in Tuscany or Lucca. I think it works well for the pair's relationship to take them out of Grantchester."
The hit drama, which is set in a 1950s Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester near Cambridge, only returned to screens two weeks ago for the second series but it's already gripping viewers with its heavily controversial topics.
Tomorrow's (16.03.16) episode will see Sidney's closeted gay pal Leonard Finch (Al Weaver) go on a date with a man.
Robson explained: "Leonard falls in love with a man and there are consequences to that in the 1950s. Today no one bats an eyelid but back then he had to keep it a secret."
'Grantchester' returns to screens tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.

Katie Price’s kids to host Loose Women


Katie Price's children Junior and Princess are set to host a one-off special of 'Loose Women' next week.
The 37-year-old star - who sits on the panel every other Friday - will hand over the reins to her little ones, aged 10 and eight respectively, as they join her on the show to debate the topics of the day as well as reveal a few family secrets.
The trio will sit alongside Andrea McLean and her daughter Amy, nine, Nadia Sawalha and her daughter Maddie, 13, and Kaye Adams and her daughter Bonnie, nine, as they attempt to entertain the audience with their hilarious outbursts.
And Coleen Nolan certainly isn't missing out as her son Shane Richie Jr will also be on the show keeping the children in check in the green room before their on-screen gig.
'Loose Women' Editor Sally Shelford said: "Our presenters' kids are finally getting the chance to get their own back on their mums.
"Expect lots of laughs - sometimes at their mums' expense! - getting to know the children behind some of TV's most famous faces and a few surprises along the way."
The youngsters will also get the chance to put their interviewing skills to the test as they put the celebrity guests through their paces with a handful of tough questions.
The 'Loose Women & Kids' special will be pre-recorded and broadcast on March 25 at 12.30pm.

Vicky Pattison ‘wary’ of romance with Spencer Matthews


Vicky Pattison is "wary" about dating Spencer Matthews.
The 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here' winner met the 'Made in Chelsea' star during his brief stint in the Australian jungle but she admits she is worried about his "f***ed up relationship history".
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she shared: "He's a nice guy and I like spending time with him. I feel very happy in his company, but I am wary of him.
"I've been out with plenty of boys like Spencer, people with his sort of money and f***ed up relationship history so I'm playing it cool. Everyone makes mistakes. I've made my fair share of mistakes in the past, so I would never judge someone for that."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old television personality previously revealed the pair enjoyed a dinner date together.
She shared: "I went on a date with a certain Spencer Matthews last week. We enjoyed a lovely night having drinks and dinner. The date was really nice ...
"It's weird because I've got a lot of time for him, but I'm not sure how much we have in common. I'm not his usual type, put it that way! You never know what may happen in the future and I'm not totally ruling out a romance just yet. Let me be clear, though, I don't need a man. He's a real gentleman, but I can wine and dine myself, thank you very much."
