Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet want a big Greek wedding


Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet want people to smash plates and throw £50 notes around the room at their wedding.
The 'Only Way is Essex' stars may have only been together 15 months and are yet to get engaged but they've already started planning their nuptials and are adamant they want to have an explosive party when they eventually tie the knot.
Tommy explained: "We'll have a big Greek and Irish-themed wedding. You get to smash plates, do some mad Greek dancing and pin £50 notes on each other."
Georgia added: "I'm half Greek and Tommy is half Irish so it's definitely going to be big because we have huge families. But I'd like the wedding to be in the UK so everyone can come."
And, although the loved-up couple are keen to stay true to their routes by asking their co-star James 'Arg' Argent to sing at the reception, the pair are keen to book Craig David.
Tommy said: "Arg is going to sing. I'd love to get Craig David there, too - I'm a huge fan."
Meanwhile, Arg isn't the only member of the cast to be involved in the big day, as Georgia has decided Lydia Bright, Kate Wright and Chloe Lewis will be her bridesmaids.
She told OK! magazine: "I'm closest to Lydia, Chloe and Kate so I'd love them to be involved."
Tommy added: "Pete Wicks will be my page boy, Dan Edgar can show everyone to their seats, Arg will be in charge of the buffet and Jake Hall can be in charge of security."

Terry Wogan vowed to keep health woes private


Sir Terry Wogan always vowed he'd battle cancer in private.
The 77-year-old broadcaster - who passed away yesterday (31.01.16) following a short battle with the disease - had previously told his friend Gloria Hunniford how much he admired her presenter daughter Caron Keating, who died of cancer in 2004, for keeping her health problems out of the public eye.
Gloria said: "What was really poignant to me this weekend, it brought something back to me very strongly...
"He said 'I admire Caron so much because she kept her cancer private and she dealt with it all with dignity', he said, 'If that ever happens to me that's the way I'll do it.' And that's exactly the way he did it."
Gloria, 75, admitted she was left "shocked" by the passing of her friend and mentor.
Speaking on 'Loose Women', she said: "It is very sad. He was a really good friend, a mentor really. I've known him for decades. When I heard the news I was so shocked, I just wept and made myself a cup of tea and sat for a while.
"I think because we all loved Terry so much, we thought he would always be here, so it was a shock to find out that he wasn't."
Meanwhile, Terry's 'Children in Need' co-host Gaby Roslin has remembered him as a "properly funny man" and admitted thinking of his reactions helped her with her radio show yesterday (31.01.16).
Speaking on 'Lorraine', she said: "He was a properly funny man. He was very, very cheeky and I think that's the thing, my abiding memory of working with him, and yesterday I had to do my radio show and the first 15 minutes I found so difficult and I was doing my tribute to him, but then I realised he'd be sitting behind me, poking me in the ribs as he used to do and saying, 'what are you doing? It's only radio, get on with it. Make people happy, make people laugh.'
"Because that was his big thing, he loved to entertain, he loved to make people laugh. He had an enormous brain I mean he was fiercely clever, very bright man. He used to say if something went wrong in one of the shows we did...he used to say 'Gaby, it's only TV' and he was right."

Jeremy McConnell apologises to Stephanie Davis’ boyfriend


Jeremy McConnell has publicly apologised to Stephanie Davis' boyfriend Sam Reece following their controversial romance in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last month.
The handsome model regrets the way his and Stephanie's raunchy relationship was aired on national television and has reached out to her heartbroken beau to make amends.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (01.02.16), he said: "I'm sorry to Sam. I'm sorry for how it worked out."
Jeremy, 25, who was eliminated from the show over the weekend, may have been slammed backlash for pursuing Stephanie, but he doesn't regret a single thing and is still keen on dating her when she leaves the abode this week.
He explained: "Outside the house, she ticks every box. But the stuff with her boyfriend needs to be addressed. I meant everything I said about her. I'm not in it for a showmance.
"I saw some stupid stuff that I'm trying to play a game, but I'm not like that at all. I always follow my heart. I never went in there with an agenda or to try and wreck people's lives or anything. I just went with my heart and that's what I felt.
"Obviously the circumstances, I would not like to be in that position. I'd like to think I had a bit of integrity."
Despite clearly being smitten with the axed 'Hollyoaks' star, 22, Jeremy still sees himself as "single" for the time being.
He said: "I'm a single boy. I told Steph I would give her a few weeks to sort things out when she comes out of the house. If she wants to be with me, then I will."

Darren Day’s wife’s fury at Tiffany Pollard’s CBB antics


Darren Day's wife wanted to "drag" Tiffany Pollard through the television screen when she tried to make a move on him.
Stephanie Dooley has admitted she was raging when the US reality TV star attempted to try it on with the 47-year-old actor, whom she married in 2007, in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last week and wouldn't have any problem confronting her about her antics at the show's wrap party later this week.
Speaking on 'Loose Women' today (01.02.16), Stephanie said of the scene in which Tiffany told Darren she thinks he's "sexy": "I was watching it with my 17-year-old son and I did want to drag her through that telly ... the after show party will be interesting. I don't know if I'll say anything to her."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty thinks Darren, with whom she has children Madison and Dalton, is doing really well in the infamous abode and is confident he'll remain on the straight and narrow, despite his history with booze, even if he wins.
Asked if she thinks the hunk will let fame get to his head again and, ultimately encourage him to fall off the wagon, Stephanie said: "Not at all. I'm 100 per cent sure he wouldn't go off the rails. He better not let me down now. He's got family He's got support, he's got his children, he's got everything."
Stephanie also has son Jordan from a previous relationship, while Darren has son Corey with actress Suzanne Shaw.

Ground Force’s Tommy arrested for assault


'Ground Force's Tommy Walsh spent the night in a police cell over the weekend after he was arrested for assault.
The 58-year-old builder was detained by law enforcement officers on Friday night (29.01.16) after he locked horns with two men - one of which was taken to hospital - when he caught them urinating in his neighbour's garden as he made his way home from a pub in Hackney, London.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I saw them as I was coming home and I said, that's bang out of order. It's disgusting. My neighbour's kids play in that garden.
"They came out into the street at me aggressively. They sounded Eastern European.
"I felt threatened and there was an altercation. It was just handbags and pulling shirts and things, nothing really.
"It was over really quickly - no punching or kicking or anything. Afterwards one of the guys was bleeding a bit so I brought him into my house and got him a plaster for his ear.
"He was all apologetic at first but then he started to get aggressive again so I ushered him out of the door.
"I thought that was the end of it but 20 minutes later I had the police here saying he had complained and they were arresting me. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a joke."
Tommy has been released on bail until mid-March but faces a criminal investigation for '"inflicting actual bodily harm."

Darren Day: I was told I had six months to live


Darren Day was once told he only had six months to live.
The 47-year-old actor, who has battled with the booze for many years, has revealed doctors warned him in 2001 he'd be dead within half a year if he continued to hit the bottle.
Speaking on 'Celebrity Big Brother' last night (31.01.16), the hunky star warned his housemate Stephanie Davis what could happen if she continued her reckless lifestyle.
He explained: "When I did rehab in 2001 they told me I had six months to live if I carried on taking it in the quantities I was taking it. I came out of rehab and was using within three days and I carried on until the end of 2005.
"Then a few years ago I got told if you drink again it will f***ing kill you and I carried on."
But it wasn't just alcohol which had a hold over Darren, as he was also spending £2,000 a week on cocaine, earnt himself the title of being a love rat and became bankrupt.
Over the past nine years, the hunk has managed to turn his life around and has been clean for almost a decade.
And he isn't the only celebrity in the infamous abode who has beaten his demons as Danniella Westbrook - who lost once her nasal septum due to her cocaine addiction - feels relieved she can show fans the true her.
She told Stephanie: "I feel like my kids have had to fight my corner with everything in the papers, now I feel like I can walk out of here with my head held high.
"They can look at people and say, 'That is my mum. She's not a drug addict or this or that, she is my mum.' This is worth its weight in gold for me, I have proved to everybody, for my kids sake and everything else, that I'm just me and I'm okay. I do mess up sometimes but I'm alright."

Brian McFadden dating Louisa Lytton?


Brian McFadden has sparked rumours he's dating Louisa Lytton.
The former Westlife singer, 35 - who split from his wife Vogue Williams last year following three years of marriage - has "grown close" to the 26-year-old actress while training for 'The Jump' in Austria over the past two weeks and has enjoyed "flirting" up a storm with her away from the slopes.
A source told the Irish Sun newspaper: "They do seem to have grown very close very quickly. They get on like a house on fire and it's obvious to everyone that something is going on between them. Their connection is undeniable."
And, although Louisa was given the boot in last night's (31.01.16) show after losing in the skeleton and air jump, it seems the ex-'EastEnders' star is keen to take their romance to the next level by introducing the Irish hunk to her friends when the show wraps up later this month.
Meanwhile, the pint-sized beauty recently admitted Brian won over her heart when he sung to the group around the fire before the live shows kicked off at the weekend.
She said: "Everyone is getting on really well -- they're really supportive of each other. At night we all sit round the fire. Brian sings us songs. We were all like, 'Oh my God.' "
Brian was previously married to Kerry Katona, with whom he has daughters Molly, 14, and Lilly-Sue, 12. He's also been engaged to Australian superstar Delta Goodrem.

Chris Evans’ tribute to Sir Terry Wogan


Chris Evans dedicated his whole Radio 2 Breakfast Show to the late Sir Terry Wogan this morning (01.02.16).
The 49-year-old presenter has paid tribute to the legendary TV presenter - the man he replaced on the radio programme in 2009 - after he tragically passed away over the weekend following a short battle with cancer, aged 77.
Talking about the radio host's shock death, Chris said: "Sir Terry passed away in the early hours of yesterday morning surrounded by those nearest and dearest to his heart .... There have been and will be few like him. One of the all time greats. Right up there with the big guns...
"... He made us laugh every day for two hours, and for over 30 years. All unscripted, all ad-lib, and always supremely assured. Unwaveringly confident. And do you know why? Because he never took any of this seriously. He was the butt of most of his jokes. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sure. But Terry knew if you go one better and laugh at yourself, then you're really on to something. Today the Radio 2 Breakfast Show, the show Terry put on the map, the one he made a dream job for us to follow in his footsteps, will be Wogan heavy. And I for one can't wait."
Sir Terry was best known for presenting his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show until he stepped down in 2009.
He also made a name for himself on TV with his chat show 'Wogan', which ran from 1982 until 1992, as well as presenting 'Children in Need' from 1980 until 2014.
He was also scheduled to present the charity event last year but was forced to pull out due to "health reasons."
However, his success extends further than just TV and radio as Sir Terry was granted a knighthood in 2005.
