Jacqueline Jossa: Jake Wood has the hips for Strictly Come Dancing


Jacqueline Jossa thinks Jake Wood has the hips for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 21-year-old actress plays Jake's on-screen daughter Lauren Branning in 'EastEnders' and she's confessed she thinks he's going to be much better at performing his routines on the BBC One celebrity dance contest than people might expect.
Quizzed on what she thought of her on-screen dad taking part, she told BANG Showbiz: "I love it. You know what? It might be a bit funny but I don't think he would have done it if he was terrible because he cares too much about how he comes across.
"So he wouldn't want to ruin the image of Max Branning ... He does have good hips."
The brunette beauty - who is expecting her first child with her 'The Only Way Is Essex' star boyfriend Dan Osborne - also admitted that she'd be up for trying her hand at ballroom dancing herself.
When asked if she'd ever consider appearing on the show, Jacqueline added: "Probably. When I'm trying to lose baby weight!"

Bobby Lockwood won Tumble


Bobby Lockwood won 'Tumble' last night (13.09.14).
The 'Wolfblood' actor was crowned champion of the BBC gymnastics competition after he battled Ian 'H' Watkins, Carl Froch, Amelle Berrabah, Sarah Harding and Lucy Mecklenburgh in the final.
Speaking to host Alex Jones after his victory, Bobby said: "After the week we have had we didn't even know if we would be able to perform so to actually win is mental."
The six celebrity competed in a combined floor and double trapeze routine, as well as taking on The Vault, and while H topped the judge's leader board with a perfect score of 40, it was the viewers' votes which gave Bobby the victory.
The star - who actually finished bottom of the scoreboard with 33.5 - was able to overcome a nasty injury to win the contest after picking up a knock during training.
After an MRI scan, it was revealed he had bruising around a bone in his left knee and a cruciate ligament strain.

Lydia Bright: James ‘Arg’ Argent and I could be living in Spain


Lydia Bright thinks she and James 'Arg' Argent would be living together in Spain if they hadn't joined 'The Only Way Is Essex'.
The couple have enjoyed an on-again off-again relationship since joining the ITV2 reality series and although Lydia doesn't blame their break-ups on the show, she admits their lives could've been very different if they'd never joined.
Quizzed on what she'd be doing now if she'd never been on TOWIE, she told Now magazine: "I actually don't know ... I took a gap year and was working in admin in Camden. I hated it - I found it really boring.
"Then my auntie said James and I should go and work in her bar in Spain, so we moved there and shortly after that, TOWIE came up. So who knows what would've happened?
"Maybe I would've gone to uni [university] or perhaps me and James would still be living in Spain."
The blonde beauty reunited with her former flame when she returned to the reality show in the latest series, and although they're not officially back together, Lydia, 23, thinks there will always be something between them.
She said: "Me and James have a long history - we were together for three years before the show and a year when we were on it.
"We're just two normal people from Essex who've been on this massive rollercoaster. Our lives have completely changed."

Gary Busey won Celebrity Big Brother


Gary Busey has won 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 70-year-old actor - who was the favourite to win the show - beat boxing star Audley Harrison, despite causing controversy amongst his fellow housemates.
Addressing the crowd as he exited the house, Gary said: "I can't tell you this feeling of enlightenment and loving love from Britain and all the housemates that I lived with and everyone here.
"I know why the word 'Great' is front of Britain."
In his interview with Emma Willis, he added: "It's a feeling of surprise and honour and a tribute to my love for this country."
Meanwhile, Gary - who is the first American winner of the show - admitted he had no idea what the house would be like.
He said: "I saw the housemates and it was like: 'Wow this is great'. I had no idea what I would be up against and people challenging me.
"When you've been around the sun 70 times ... you've got a new knowledge of life and you've got a new knowledge of humour and you learn to respect the youth ... That's life, that's evolution, that's growing up. I didn't know what to expect."
Gary - who has starred in Hollywood hits such as 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Point Break' - revealed the show had changed him as a person.
He explained: "When I go back home, I'm a changed man. I will be with my sweetheart wife Steffanie everywhere she goes. I will read my son Luke books every night to go to sleep ... it's great."

Louis Smith explicit video reportedly sold online


An explicit video by Louis Smith has reportedly been sold to a celebrity sex-tape company.
The 'Tumble' judge is said to have appeared in the racy clip - made on Skype - three years ago and it is "terrible timing" for the star, who is keen to forge a TV career for himself.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's terrible timing for Louis. He's desperate for a TV career but 'Tumble' is aimed at a family audience."
The 25-year-old gymnast - who won a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games - reportedly appears in the video to do a routine before stripping, talking about sex and performing a solo act.
It is said the raunchy clip was made with a model, who has now sold it to the Celebrity Busted web firm, with sources claiming it could "damage" his reputation.
An insider added: "It's unfair this could damage him all these years on."
Louis recently admitted he hoped 'Tumble' would show gymnasts and other athletes in a more positive light, insisting they "can have a laugh".
He said: "It's frustrating when you've got a different side to you and people always see you doing the same interviews and being asked the same questions, 'How do you feel about the Olympics?' How's training going?'
"You feel like you've been moulded into this respectable kind of person. This is an opportunity to show the other side of sportsmen. We can have a laugh and enjoy ourselves too."

Sheridan Smith loved becoming a pop star for Cilla role


Sheridan Smith says playing Cilla Black is the closest she'll get "to being a pop star".
The actress is starring as the iconic singer and TV star in ITV's new series 'Cilla', and getting to sing her songs at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool - as well as record them at the Abbey Road studio in London - was an amazing experience.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper's We Love TV magazine: "Oh my God, that was such a privilege.
"Performing the rock 'n' roll numbers at the Cavern was also brilliant fun.
"All these extras were screaming at me while I was on stage. It's the closest I'll get to being a pop star."
Meanwhile Sheridan, 33, admitted it was also a chance to experience the 1960s - an era she was born too late to enjoy.
She explained: "This show is about Cilla and capturing the buzz of the Merseybeat era.
"There's never going to be a time like that again. I wish I was around in that era, but playing Cilla is the next best thing."

Alesha Dixon struggling to juggle motherhood and work


Alesha Dixon has said she is finding it difficult to cope with the recording of her new album alongside being a mother to her 11-month-old daughter Azura Sienna.
The former Mis-Teeq star said: "Trying to juggle motherhood and recording is a challenge."
However, despite the struggle to record her fourth album she admitted that she is enjoying herself, stating that it is going "brilliantly."
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge released her third solo album 'The Entertainer' in 2010, but is now working on a follow up which she hopes will be released in 2015.
She said: "In an ideal world I'd love to have something out early next year."
Alesha - who has appeared as a judge on three series' of 'Britain's Got Talent' - has also sparked rumours that she may not feature on the ninth series of the ITV show.
When asked by BANG Showbiz if she would return to the show in 2015, she suggested that she may be more focused on her upcoming album.
She said: "You'll have to wait and see [whether I will return to the show]. Right now I'm recording; I'm making a record so that's my energy and focus."
The 35-year-old is currently supporting the (Galaxy)Red campaign by promoting a chocolate bar she designed, which is raising money to prevent the spread of AIDS from mothers to babies in Africa.
(Galaxy)RED chocolate will be on sale from September 2014, with 5p from each pack going to The Global Fund to help towards the goal of an AIDS-free generation, www.galaxychocolate.co.uk.


Joanne Froggatt parties in Ibiza


'Downton Abbey' star Joanne Froggatt has been letting her hair down in Ibiza.
The 34-year-old actress - who stars as Anna Bates in the ITV period drama - proved she's nothing like her character by partying to The Kooks at the Ibiza Rocks hotel on the Spanish island recently.
Joanne was joined at the gig by 'Game of Thrones' actress Natalie Dormer, her director husband Ian Byrne and TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
Not wanting to bring her night to an end after the show, she continued to celebrate the end of the summer season with her fellow stars, the band and even Blue singer Lee Ryan by heading to the Ibiza Rocks House at Pikes Hotel for more drinks and dancing.
Despite being more than happy to hit the Spanish party capital, where outfits often consist of little more than a bikini and a pair of hot pants, Joanne has previously revealed she feels slightly uncomfortable around naked people.
Speaking about an awkward encounter she once had, she said: "I had a very enthusiastic fan when I was in the gym changing room.
"She had her leg up on the table, and I was trying to look away when she said, 'Are you in Downton?'
"She was having a very confident conversation with me while drying herself ... everywhere. That was a little awkward. But all power to her for being so confident in herself."
