Kristina Rihanoff gives Scotty T strip tips


Kristina Rihanoff has given Scotty T stripping tips ahead of his gig on the Dreamboys tour.
The 'Geordie Shore' heartthrob has been picking up little tricks from the dancing professional, whom he met in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house in January, in preparation for his debut in the raunchy strip show next month.
Speaking exclusively to BANG showbiz, he said: "Kristina from 'Big Brother', she gave me a couple of tips. But it was more like jazz and different types of dance, not what they do on Dreamboys I don't think, but I might give her a ring."
However, he doesn't think he'll need to rely on Kristina's techniques as he believes his regular nights out and wild partying will stand him in good stead for the upcoming event.
He added: "I'm alright at dancing. I go out enough. I'm used to getting my clothes off for the girls anyway so it's not going to be anything different to what I normally do."
And, although the 27-year-old hunk has never taken a dance class, he does have a signature move up his sleeve, which he is confident will impress the ladies.
He explained: "I can do back flips. I used to do gymnastics when I was younger; I'm obviously not as flexible now though. We are doing a choreography thing ... I think they will give me something funny to do. I've got a bit of time off now, so I'm probably going to think of some moves."
The Dreamboys tour featuring Scotty T - whose real name is Scott Timlin - will run from April 8 throughout the year.

Jeremy McConnell cancels trip to Las Vegas?


Jeremy McConnell has cancelled his holiday to Las Vegas.
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant has ditched his friends after striking up a romance with Stephanie Davis in the infamous house last month and has now decided to pull out of a lads' trip to the stripper central destination later this week because he doesn't want to destroy his romance.
The Irish hunk's friend Marc O'Neill, who recently moved to San Francisco, said: "The lads are coming to Vegas on March 5 and he was supposed to come too but I got a text from him saying,'Stuff is up in the air', and I was like, "OK."
"Obviously, when you get a girlfriend, the commitment you made towards the lads falls apart. But that's not the Jeremy I know. If he has money he'll do all the fun things.
"But if he does come, I can guarantee she will be giving him stink eyes from across the ocean."
Marc believes Stephanie has wrapped Jeremy around her little finger and, although they seem to be loved up, he's worried her "stalker" antics will drive him away when the honeymoon period eventually comes crashing down.
He explained to new! magazine: "They are in the honeymoon period now but I reckon it's going to fall apart. It's not Jeremy's fault - it's because this girl is going at 100mph.
"She went from a full-on relationship where she was going to marry Sam and then was in the house for four weeks and she falls in love with someone else."

Sheridan Smith’s father has cancer


Sheridan Smith's father has been diagnosed with cancer.
The 34-year-old actress was forced to pull out of her stage performance of the musical 'Funny Girl' on Tuesday (01.03.16) evening at London's Menier Chocolate Factory theatre after discovering her dad Colin is battling the disease - the same illness that killed her brother Julian 26 years ago.
The blonde beauty broke the heartbreaking revelation to her fans after she was slammed with backlash across social media for cancelling her performance at the last minute.
Taking to her Twitter account, Sheridan said, in a since deleted tweet: "If u just found out ur dad had cancer u would t be such a heartless human. Take care love (sic)."
The former 'Gavin & Stacey' star initially sparked concern earlier that day when she claimed she'd been rocked with some "s**t news" before following it up with a cryptic message that suggested she'd quit if she didn't get enough money to pay for top-quality cancer treatment for her dad.
She wrote: "Decision made! Bye. Unless I get enough money to look after my dad (sic)."
Sheridan tragically lost her older sibling Julian over two-and-a-half decades ago - when she was just eight years old - and opened up about his devastating battle last year when she was portraying breast cancer sufferer Lisa Lynch in the heartbreaking TV drama 'The C Word'.
She said at the time: "Of course I've been affected by my brother's death... It makes me value life, cherish my loved ones and be grateful for every day I have with them."

Simon Gregson’s disrupted Coronation Street return


Simon Gregson's return to 'Coronation Street' was disrupted when his on-screen mum fell ill.
The soap star, who has played Steve McDonald on the ITV hit show since his debut in 1989, was set to revisit the cobbled streets after a five month break only to have two scenes cut because of Beverley Callard's sickness.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone was worried it would be a one-in, one-out situation and they'd have to send Bev off to Spain too."
The former Rovers Return landlord - who left the series after his last storyline saw him battle against depression and flee to Spain to care for brother Andy's broken leg - was set to make his return at his wife Michelle's (Kym Marsh) 40th birthday celebrations, wearing a sombrero and holding an inflatable donkey.
However, following Beverley's illness bosses had to cut the scenes and feared she would have to quit Weatherfield in a similar exit to her character Liz McDonald's son.
A source quipped: "It would have been unbelievable if Andy had broken his other leg."
The actor started filming his return on Monday (29.02.16) and his comeback is due to be broadcast this spring.

EastEnders’ Phil to go on booze-fuelled digger rampage


EastEnders' Phil Mitchell will run riot in Albert Square with a digger which could cost one resident their life.
The alcoholic - who is played by Steve McFadden - is to go on a booze-fuelled rampage when he jumps in a JCB and sets about destroying his car lot, but doesn't realise one of the Walford inhabitants are inside the Deals on Wheels office.
A source said: "Things have been getting worse for Phil for a while but now his family are starting to turn their backs on him as he won't listen to them and has pushed everyone away.
"He trashes the Arches before taking control of a digger and tearing down the car lot but what he doesn't realise is that someone is in there. All hell breaks loose as everyone starts to rummage through the debris to find out who is trapped inside."
Phil has been struggling with his alcoholism of late and was recently diagnosed with cirrhosis - scarring of the liver - and given just 12 months to live unless he gets a transplant.
His drink driving left wife Sharon Mitchell's (Letita Dean) son Denny Rickman (Bleu Landau) fighting for his life over Christmas when he crashed his Range Rover with the youngster inside, and his latest drinking binge looks set to leave one character in "mortal danger".
The insider added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Phil is playing fast and loose with his own life - but now he risks killing someone with his crazy behaviour.
"He doesn't know that someone is trapped inside the office as he rips through Albert Square in a digger. They are in mortal danger and in his current mental state no one dares try to stop him."
Soap bosses haven't revealed the identity of the mystery character who will be trapped inside the destroyed Deals on Wheels office in scenes to air later this month.

Bob Mortimer: Chris Evans is a timebomb


Bob Mortimer has warned 'Top Gear' producers that Chris Evans is a "timebomb".
The 56 year-old comedian spoke out following claims that the show's new presenter's behaviour led to executive producer Lisa Clark quitting the programme - which has since been rubbished.
Bob took to Twitter to voice his concerns about the 'Top Gear' host, writing: "Well we'll soon see if [director general] Tony Hall meant what he said about talent abusing their power at the BBC #topgeartimebomb. (sic)"
This isn't the first time the comic has made a reference to Chris on the social networking site, previously branding the 'TFI Friday' host "entitled".
In January, he wrote: "That guilty pleasure where U feel a bit entitled and superior cos people have to let you off the train before they get on #ChrisEvansLife (sic)"
Lisa, a long-time colleague of Evans harking back to her work on 'The Big Breakfast' in the 1990s, quit 'Top Gear' in December after five months in the role.
It is claimed she departed the programme after warning Chris about the filming schedule, and she is said to have hired his new co-host Matt LeBlanc against his wishes.
A source recently said: "Evans didn't normally turn up to a lot of meetings, but at this one he said he had completed some footage with Jenson Button.
"Lisa replied, 'Yes but we need to make more than 30 films. It's not enough'. He shot her a look for undermining him and she was soon gone.
"It was Lisa who suggested Matt, but Evans' reply was, 'He's old hat, what do we want him for?'."
However, these claims have since been denied by acting director of BBC Television Mark Linsey.
He said: "It is rubbish to suggest Chris Evans' behaviour on the set of Top Gear has been in any way unprofessional.
"Chris is a consummate professional and a real team-player. He is a passionate presenter who commits his heart and soul into everything he does - whether his Radio 2 show, 'Children In Need' or 'Top Gear' - and we are extremely fortunate to have him leading the show.
"Also, it is simply not true to suggest Chris did not support the signing of Matt LeBlanc, when he has been behind Matt joining the presenting team since day one.
"Chris and Matt are part of a wider production team that is full of brilliant and talented people. That team is tight-knit, in great spirits and utterly focused on delivering the best possible series for viewers."
'Top Gear' script editor Tom Ford and BBC2 controller Kim Shillinglaw have also recently departed.
The 'Top Gear' re-launch has been put back a fortnight from May 8 to May 22 and the series cut from eight to six episodes.

Neil Morrissey’s intimate inspection


Neil Morrissey and Jason Gardiner had to inspect each other's bare behinds for tick bites on 'Bear Grylls: Mission Survive'.
The 53-year-old actor had to intimately examine the 44-year-old choreographer's rear end to make sure the blood-sucking insects - which can spread Lyme disease to humans - hadn't had a little nibble of the former 'Dancing on Ice' judge's posterior.
Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain', Neil said: "Me and Jason Gardiner had to team up to do tick checks on each other. You have to look at each other's cracks."
The 'Men Behaving Badly' star's frank revelation on live morning TV left the breakfast show's co-host Susanna Reid red faced and slightly confused as to which body part the funnyman was referring.
The brunette beauty replied: "You mean under the arm pits?"
But Neil insisted: "No, I had to part cheeks.
"I was staring right at it. We had to check for each other's ticks and it was fine.
"I voted to have Samantha Barks to do tick checks on but they wouldn't let me for some reason."
Neil also had to drink his own urine on the reality TV show - in which eight celebrities take part in a 12-day survival mission led by explorer extraordinaire Bear - but insisted it wasn't the toughest part of the expedition.
He added: "It's not the hardest thing you have to do.
"There are things that I found much tougher. In terms of disgusting that was disgusting.
"Bear drinks it on screen as well, he actually pumps it out fresh."
The 'Grantchester' star is best known for his portrayal of womaniser Tony Smart in sitcom 'Men Behaving Badly' - which ran from 1992 to 1999 - and admits he would be keen to reprise the role.
When asked if he would star in a new series of the show, he added: "I would love to. It starts with a good script.
"Everything starts from a script so I can't see it happening in the near future."

Coronation Street creator Tony Warren dies


'Coronation Street' creator Tony Warren has died.
Stars of the soap have been left devastated after the 79-year-old writer, who created the long-running show in 1960, passed away.
A tweet on the show's official Twitter account read: "It's with great sadness that Coronation Street confirms legendary creator & writer Tony Warren,MBE has passed away. (sic)"
Bill Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since the soap's first episode in 1960, led tributes to Tony.
He said: "When I first met Tony I couldn't quite believe he'd created and written Coronation Street because he was no more than a young boy. It was his boyish energy even recently when I saw him again that I'll remember.
"I loved Tony's energy. He was the father of Coronation Street and he gave us all so much. He will be so desperately missed because of who he was and what he did. We owe him so much."
Helen Worth, who has portrayed Gail McIntyre since 1974, added: "Tony was a genius of our time, the dearest funniest and most inspirational man of his generation. He brought real life into our homes for us all to relate to and enjoy. He will of course live on forever through Coronation Street."
Jane Danson - who plays Leanne Tilsley in the show - tweeted: "so so sad to hear this news - tony was a kind man and inspired many - weatherfield has a broken heart right now xx (sic)"

Julian Fellowes teases Downton Abbey movie


Julian Fellowes says a 'Downton Abbey' movie is a "real possibility".
The creator, writer and executive producer of ITV's award-winning period drama has dropped the biggest hint yet that the Crawley family could be heading to the big screen, and admitted a musical remake may even "pop up" in the future.
The 66-year-old screenwriter said: "The movie I think is a real possibility. I believe in the movie.
"I think there is a real chance of a movie, which I would enjoy because it would give us an opportunity to deal with things in a slightly different way.
"We could have a crowd that is really a crowd, a full ballroom that is really full and so that I think would be fun.
"But, they obviously have to get their ducks in a row and we would have to have a certain number of the cast or it wouldn't merely be feasible and that's not my job, I don't do any of that bit."
But Julian confirmed the show will never be returning to the small screen.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', he added: "As for the musical, the play, we will probably see it pop up in one form or another. Television is done and that won't be revisited."
