Jordan Davies will never date Megan McKenna again


'Ex on the Beach's Jordan Davies will never get back together with his ex-girlfriend Megan McKenna.
The handsome reality TV star split from the brunette beauty before she entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house earlier this month but he's adamant, now she's left the infamous abode, he's not interested in rekindling their romance.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I've blocked Megan out of my life now. If she thinks we'll get back together after this, it's never going to happen. I've completely moved on. I'm back single, enjoying myself."
Despite their bitter split, Jordan had nothing but kind words to say about their relationship but admitted he's seen Megan's anger rear it's ugly head on a few occasions in the past.
Speaking about Megan's psychotic outburst over her lack of food and sleep in the house two weeks ago, Jordan said: "I've never seen anything like that in my life. She's never been like that with me but I think when you're in the environment, it all gets heated. We had a good relationship and I've not really seen that side to her in so long but if she was having anger management, it clearly didn't work."

Liberty X’s Kevin gets four chairs turned on The Voice


A former pop group singer wowed the judges with his performance on 'The Voice' on Saturday night (30.01.16).
Kevin Simm found fame as one fifth of Liberty X, who had hits with tracks such as 'Just A Little'.
Following the group being dropped by their label, Kevin signed a solo record deal but that also flopped - causing a big knock in confidence.
Acknowledging that 'The Voice' was one of his last chances, Kevin said before his performance: "I've had nightmares about not having any turns!"
But he certainly needn't have worried about that.
Just seconds into his rendition of Sia's 'Chandelier', Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith and Boy George all turned their chairs, with Ricky even standing up as he got a proper appreciation of the incredible performance.
will.i.am left it to the last minute but then turned, meaning it was a full house of coaches for Kevin to choose from.
George kicked off the comments, asking Kevin: "You're 35, and with a voice like that - where have you been?"
After Kevin admitted his pop past, George said: "Oh you did that 'Just A Little' didn't you? I love that record, it's one of my guilty pleasures - I used to dance around to it when no-one else was looking."
Ricky said: "It's obvious when you hear a voice of that quality sing that you have to turn around."
A visibly emotional Paloma told Kevin: "I got goosebumps all over my body because that was just stunning."
will concluded: "You're fighting for something you can tell, and in a pop band you don't get a chance to be emotional. This felt like you were trapped in this box and you came out here on 'The Voice' wanting to burn the house down and you did that."
Ricky added: "You have been burnt before and it takes a lot of guts to go back in that hard, that brilliant. This is day 1 of the future for you, and I'd like to be part of that."
The judges then began their pitches, with George kicking things off by saying: "There are a lot of big voices in this show. It's just constantly a surprise. One thing I do know is that I love big singers, that's my forte - and I've been doing this a long time."
At that point, Paloma jokingly pretended to snore before saying, "Is it finished? Is it time for us to wake up now?" - causing George to become extremely angry with her.
He said: "Excuse me? I don't understand. That's extremely rude, very rude, anyway, [Kevin] you're amazing."
Paloma continued with her pitch, saying: "I feel like I haven't got somebody in my team who's like you. When I put my mind to something I'm determined and the one extra layer I'd like to add to what you have which is very special is that it's created. I'm not often lost for words but I am now, that's it."
Clearly still reeling from Paloma's earlier jibe, George said: "One thing you haven't done Paloma is have a hit in America, I've had a few, and we're talking global strategy with me."
Paloma responded: "I haven't yet but hopefully I will - I haven't been in it as long as George. Maybe it could be a duet that would break us both at the same time!"
After much consideration, Kevin decided to choose Paloma as his coach - further angering George.
The row is said to have left Paloma in tears but those scenes weren't shown on Saturday's show.
And alongside a selfie with Paloma, George wrote on his Twitter that it's all just "banter-mime".
Other hopefuls who impressed on Saturday's show included 16-year-old Heather Cameron-Hayes, who sang 'Life on Mars' by the late David Bowie and chose to join George's team.

Vicky Pattison: ‘Men are intimidated by me’


Vicky Pattison says men don't ask her out because they are intimidated by her.
The 'Geordie Shore' star - who won a new legion of fans during her victorious stint on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' - claims men just want to be her friend because she is a "total geezer".
She told Loaded.co.uk: "I think men are intimidated, and to be honest I'm just a total geezer. So they just want to be my friend. No man wants to date a bird who can outdrink them."
However, Vicky, 28, has now cut down on her drinking in favour of a healthier lifestyle, even releasing her own fitness app.
She said: "Part of being a reality TV star is to look a certain way. I've found a way to look good and feel great, and have gained a certain knowledge of nutrition and fitness.
"I'm no nutritionist but I have had had training from some of the most experienced people in this field. I've had nutritionists and personal trainers.
"I've made a conscious effort to educate myself. It doesn't matter what my job is, I can still be knowledgeable on a subject and I'm proof that it has worked and know what I'm talking about."

Jeremy McConnell’s guilt over CBB fling


Jeremy McConnell feels guilty about his fling with Stephanie Davis.
The Irish model became involved with the former 'Hollyoaks' actress on 'Celebrity Big Brother', even though she has a boyfriend Sam Reece and Jeremy admitted that he just couldn't help himself.
Speaking after his eviction on Friday (29.01.16), Jeremy said: "Obviously I like to think I'm a respectful lad, but I understand what her fella must be going through.
"I know [I should've left it]. I can't explain how I feel inside. It's what I felt and I went with it.
"I hold my hands up; it was both of us. It's a really tough situation. It's terrible. It's just the way it is. I'd be gutted if I was in his position."
However, Jeremy also revealed that he believes he and Stephanie need some "breathing space" from each other and won't be rushing into a relationship.
He said: "I need my breathing space; she needs her space. But we'll see what happens. She needs time to reflect and be single."
When shown footage of some of their steamy exploits, including one clip in which it has been speculated they had sex, Jeremy would only say: "That looks... I thought that was one of Hugh Hefner's scenes. But that's what we felt for each. I can't elaborate on that. It is what it is."

June Brown’s 300k EastEnders deal


June Brown has signed a new £300,000 deal with 'EastEnders'.
The 88-year-old actress' lucrative contract will keep her on the show - in which she plays Dot Branning - until she's 90 and reportedly makes her the second highest-paid 'EastEnders' star, after Steve McFadden.
A source told The Sun: "This is great news for June, great news for the bosses and great news for 'EastEnders' fans. Both the top brass and obviously June herself are aware that she is not getting any younger but she is still very agile for her age and simply wants to go on as long as possible.
"The bosses are delighted she has no intention of giving up work just yet. She loves playing Dot and the fans love her playing Dot. 'EastEnders' would not be the same without June or Dot.
"Though her current deal doesn't run out until March the bosses like to get people they want to keep tied up earlier than that so they have time to negotiate new deals."
June has played the chain-smoking laundrette worker since 1985 and previously revealed she wants to be involved in more storylines as it helps to keep her mind active.
She said: "I potter in and out and do a scene now and again.
"It's been very hard not to open my big mouth. I would like to do more, my mind needs occupying all the time. If it isn't, it goes all over the place."

Simon Cowell won’t give X Factor hiatus


Simon Cowell is refusing to give 'The X Factor' a hiatus.
The 56-year-old music mogul, who launched the show 12 years ago, is adamant the singing contest will return to screens later this year, despite many people claiming it needs time off following a drop in ratings, because he thinks his programme is doing well in comparison to its rivals.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said he has no plans to take it off air, adding: "I think a lot of people should be taking a break at the moment but I think now that I've taken a step back and it was a very interesting year last year.
"And I think when you see what is going to happen this year, these numbers that people were kind of being negative about - we had 10 million tune into a final - are going to start looking a lot better than you think because other people are in a lot more trouble."
Simon's subtle dig comes after former host Dermot O'Leary, who was dropped from the 'X Factor' in 2014, said the ITV programme needs to leave screens for 12 months and return with some fresh ideas or risk losing viewers forever.
He said recently: "If I was Simon Cowell, I'd take it off air for a year. I'd rest it, and then I'd get back to the rooms. For me, it was always room, arena, boot camp. Also I was really uncomfortable about the Six-Chair Challenge. I don't think it's a particularly nice bit of television."

Chloe Ferry jealous of Scotty T’s flirty behaviour in CBB


Chloe Ferry gets "jealous" when she sees her ex-boyfriend Scotty T flirting with other girls on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has admitted she can't bring herself to watch the Channel 5 show because she gets a touch of the green-eyed monster when she sees her former flame getting up close and personal with females in the infamous abode.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I've not been watching that much. I've been watching it on and off. I have to admit, I do get a bit jealous.
"It's been a long time between me and Scott now so I'm not as in love with him as I was but I do get a bit jealous. Scott would try and flirt with every single girl in the house."
But, despite Scotty T's frisky antics hitting a nerve, Chloe believes the cheeky hunk has what it takes to win the series.
She explained: "He's come across quite quiet and caring. I think he'll definitely win. 'Geordie Shore' has a massive fan base so I think he definitely will win."
Meanwhile, it seems Scotty T - whose real name is Scott Timlin - doesn't seem to lack confidence when it comes to the opposite sex as he's enjoyed a flirtatious relationship with his fellow housemate Megan McKenna until she was given the boot last week, as well as US reality star Tiffany Pollard.
Chloe has just been unveiled as the new face of Lauren Pope's Hair Rehab London spring/summer Synthetic Range.

Jeremy McConnell eliminated from CBB


Jeremy McConnell has been eliminated from 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The Irish model has become the latest star to be voted off the reality TV show after facing off with love interest Stephanie Davis and reality TV star Tiffany Pollard.
Tiffany was saved first before host Emma Willis announced that Stephanie had also survived the public vote.
However, Stephanie broke down in tears at the news that Jeremy was out, screaming: "No, no, no, no, no" and adding: "I don't want to be without you. I don't want to be here."
Earlier this week Stephanie appeared to dump her boyfriend Sam Reece on TV after realising he wasn't "the one" for her following her outrageous flirtatious antics with Jeremy over the past three weeks.
Talking to Jeremy, she said: "Obviously Sam's not right for me and I need to sort it when I get out."
And Jeremy, who has claimed to be "in love" with the actress, was clearly thrilled with Stephanie's decision and promised to whisk her away on holiday.
Speaking to Stephanie in the garden, he said: "If things work out after we get out of here, I'll book us a holiday somewhere nice, I want to. I think I need to show you what my idea of treating a lady is like."

Ricky Whittle lands major US acting gig


Ricky Whittle has landed a leading acting role in the US.
The former 'Hollyoaks' actor, who was known for playing Calvin Valentine in the soap until his sleazy alter-ego was shot dead in 2010, has just landed his first big role across the pond as he's been cast as Shadow Moon in the TV adaption of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel 'American Gods'.
Neil said in a statement: "I'm thrilled that Ricky has been cast as Shadow. His auditions were remarkable. The process of taking a world out of the pages of a book, and putting it onto the screen has begun.
"'American Gods' is, at its heart, a book about immigrants, and it seems perfectly appropriate that Shadow will, like so much else, be coming to America."
Ricky will begin filming the forthcoming show in Toronto in April but it's not known if it'll eventually hit UK screens.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time the 34-year-old hunk has tried to crack the international market as he also made waves stateside when he starred in 'Mistresses' in 2014.
He has also had a recurring role in post-apocalyptic drama 'The 100', in which he plays Lincoln, for the last two years.
