Ashley Taylor Johnson misses Strictly Come Dancing spray tans


Ashley Taylor Dawson misses his 'Strictly Come Dancing' spray-tans.
The 'Hollyoaks' actor - who competed on the BBC One celebrity dance contest last year - has confessed the start of the new series has got him reminiscing about his time on the show.
Quizzed on whether he'd continued getting spray tans, he said: "I've just got back off of holiday. Don't you start, this is real. No, I've not, but I do miss them I won't lie. It makes you look healthy all the time."
The 32-year-old star also revealed he had some advice for this year's contestants - which include 'EastEnders' actor Jake Wood, former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Mark Wright and Pixie Lott.
He told BANG Showbiz: "Don't have any regrets. Just let it all out. Let it all out on the dance floor. I watched a clip back the other day and I was thinking, 'Look at my hands! What was I doing?'
"It's so weird. But then again, that was when I was living on four hours sleep every night, and I was full time at work. So my regret was that I was working full time. It's such a shame that I couldn't have the full experience.
"For everyone there, grab the bull by the horns and run with it."

Lauren Goodger slams James Jordan


Lauren Goodger says James Jordan is the "fakest", "weakest" and most "two-faced" man she's ever met.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star - who was eliminated from 'Celebrity Big Brother' in last night's (10.09.14) eviction - has spoken out about the ex-'Strictly Come Dancing' professional to reveal she thinks he's playing a "massive game".
Quizzed on who she'd found it most difficult living with during her time in the house, she told BANG Showbiz: "I'll tell you who was the biggest person, who was the complete fakest person I've ever met in my life, is James.
"Absolutely terrible person ... He doesn't know who he is and he's very lost and he's very immature and he wants to be a bad man because he thinks it's going to keep him in the house but deep down he's not got the strength inside to pursue it."
The 27-year-old beauty admitted that while James was trying to come across as a strong character, she thinks he's actually very "sensitive and insecure" and is just acting up for the cameras.
She said: "I've watched him and I can observe people and I'm a good judge of character and I've watched the way he acts ... Everything he says that he's trying to slag off other people for, he ends up doing. It's like he's talking about himself."
Lauren also confessed she hopes professional boxer Audley Harrison will win the Channel 5 competition as she doesn't think James deserves it.
She added: "Audley is the most amazing man I've ever met and he's f**king brilliant and he needs to win that show.
"The rivalry is between him and James but Audley was so strong minded and grown up ... James is the weakest man I've ever met and for a man to act and go on that way and be so spiteful and still be in that house, he's the wrong one to be in there and the only reason he's still there is because he's playing a massive game."


James Argent: Cleaned told me I was missing


James 'Arg' Argent was told by a hotel cleaner that he'd been reported missing by the police.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star sparked a police search last month when he failed to meet his agent because he'd travelled to the wrong airport and couldn't get in touch with anyone because his phone battery had died, and he's now revealed he had no idea people were frantically looking for him until a hotel cleaner informed him of the search.
He explained: "Well basically, I went to the airport and I missed the flight and so I checked into a hotel nearby and my phone ran out of battery. So I basically just chilled out in the hotel with no battery.
"Then I woke up and asked the cleaner for a charger and she knocked on the door and she said, 'You're missing', and I said, 'What do you mean I'm missing?' And she said, 'It's all over the news'."
The 26-year-old funnyman - who is believed to have accidentally travelled to Stansted airport in Essex instead of Gatwick airport in West Sussex - admitted he didn't realise how much worry he'd caused until he spoke to his mum.
Speaking on tonight's (11.09.14) episode of 'Celebrity Juice', he continued: "So I went and put my phone on charge and went on Twitter, and all I saw was, 'Pray for Arg'. I was thinking, why are they praying for me.
"And then I phoned my mum and that was it. It was a bit embarrassing."
Arg added: "It was a bit embarrassing but yeah, it's nice to know people care about me."
'Celebrity Juice' is on ITV2 at 10pm tonight (11.09.14).

Michelle Dockery: Lady Mary Crawley ‘enjoying single life’


Michelle Dockery says her 'Downton Abbey' character will be "enjoying single life" in the new series.
The 32-year-old actress stars as Lady Mary Crawley in the ITV period drama and she's confessed that following the death of her on-screen husband and her period of mourning in the fourth series, she's now back to her rebellious best.
She explained: "The old Mary is coming back. She's embracing her independence, moving forwards and enjoying her single life."
Before tying the know to Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) in the third series, Mary was a fun-loving girl determined to break the rules handed down to her by her elders and the upcoming fifth series will reportedly see a return to this behaviour.
Viewers will see Mary ask her new suitor Lord Gillingham (Tom Cullen) to join her for a dirty weekend before they've announced their engagement.
Michelle told The Sun newspaper: "Mary's wit and cutting remarks are coming back. It shows she's got her mojo back."
She added: "She's toying with the idea of having a relationship with a man not in marriage. It's bold."
However, Mary's engagement to Lord Gillingham could hit a rocky patch if his jilted fiancée Mabel Lane Fox (Catherine Steadman) has anything to do with it.
The brunette beauty explained: "Mabel will cause problems for Mary.
"She's a fantastic character because she's this young socialite.
"Four years ago, Mary was at the top of the social ladder and when Mabel comes in, Mary kind of meets her match."

Joey Essex and Sam Faiers split


Joey Essex and Sam Faiers have reportedly split-up again.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' stars are said to have split following a string of arguments while on holiday in Marbella to celebrate Sam's sister Billie's engagement this week.
The pair - who got engaged in March 2013 and then split three months later before reconciling again earlier this year - are reported to have "constantly bickered" during the trip leaving Joey, 24, with no choice but to call time on their tumultuous relationship.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Joey and Sam have been on the rocks for a while. They are constantly bickering and falling out. It's not been pretty.
"But the last straw was in Marbella. The atmosphere between them wasn't healthy enough - he just had to get away."
The reality TV star is now said to be struggling to come to terms with the couple's latest break-up.
The source added: "He always thought Sam was the one. It'll take some time for him to get over her."
Meanwhile, Joey landed back in the UK on Tuesday (09.09.14) without Sam, 23, and joked about the chilly flight home.
He tweeted: "Most uncomfortable flight and coldest I have ever flew. Don't wear shorts and flip flops! Back home in bed! 🙂 x (sic)".

Hugh Bonneville missed out on Star Wars role


'Downton Abbey' star Hugh Bonneville claims he could've been cast in 'Star Wars: Episode VII'.
The 50-year-old actor - who stars as the Earl of Grantham in the series - has revealed how J.J. Abrams, who is directing the latest instalment of the sci-fi franchise, visited the set of the ITV period drama one day when he was absent, meaning he missed out on being scouted for a role in the upcoming film.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's awesome when the likes of J.J. Abrams drop in on set. Sadly I wasn't there that day. If I had been I might have been in 'Star Wars'."
Hugh and his co-star Lily James - who plays Lady Rose in the series which counts famous faces such as Sandra Bullock, Salma Hayek and Ashton Kutcher as fans - have confessed they found themselves starstruck while filming scenes for the Downton Christmas special at Alnwick Castle, which is used as Hogwarts in the 'Harry Potter' films.
Lily said: "I saw a Harry Potter double there. He not only looked like him he sounded like him too."
Hugh added: "We were all a bit starstruck. I went on a Mysterious Cellar Tour and got the bejeezus frightened out of me."
Meanwhile, Hugh's 'The Monuments Men' co-star George Clooney - who is also a fan series - is set to make a one-off appearance in the hit drama as part of this year's 'Text Santa' charity appeal on ITV.

Loose Women plan nationwide tour


'Loose Women' are planning a nationwide tour.
The hit ITV daytime series and its host of presenters - including regulars Ruth Langsford and Janet Street Porter and new stars Judy Finnigan and Gloria Hunniford - will travel the country's shopping centres to bring the panel show closer to viewers.
The move is reported to be an attempt by channel bosses to improve the show's popularity following a recent dip in ratings.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses are always looking at new ideas for the show and they love the idea of a nationwide tour.
"It would be great to get the presenters out to shopping centres around the country to meet viewers face to face. "
Meanwhile, Judy - who previously vowed never to return to broadcasting after her talk show 'Richard & Judy' with her husband Richard Madeley's was axed - confessed she decided to make her TV comeback on the series as she thought it would be fun.
She said previously: "It's really odd, I hadn't planned it or thought. It was pure impulse. I had a really lovely summer and I was relaxed and happy and I've nearly finished my second book and I seriously thought, 'That sounds quite fun, I'd like to do that' ... And I'd like to talk to you lot."

Vicky Pattison crowned Queen of Geordie Shore house


Vicky Pattison has been crowned Queen of the 'Geordie Shore' house.
The 25-year-old beauty - who has been a member of the outrageous MTV reality series' cast since it first began in 2011 - will be in charge of her fellow housemates in the upcoming ninth series.
The mouthy brunette has been made deputy to Anna - who provides the housemates with jobs - and as she's previously claimed, "This is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship, and I'm f**king in charge", the drama looks set to be juicier than ever.
The eighth series - which starred Vicky, Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan, Marnie Simpson, Scott 'Scotty T' Timlin, James Tindale, Gary 'Gaz' Beadle and newcomers Aaron Chalmers and Kyle Christie - saw a number of disagreements and tantrums between the cast and that's more than likely to continue into the next series.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The move to make Vicky boss has ruffled feathers all around, especially with some of the lads. Expect back-talking and tantrums."
Vicky, who was seen snogging housemates Gaz and Aaron in the last series, has always thought of herself as Queen of the pad in Newcastle and her dreams will now come true when she's given the power to tell everyone what to do and even decide whether or not to kick people out for bad behaviour.
'Geordie Shore' series 9 kicks off on October 28.

George Clooney to star in Downton Abbey


George Clooney is to star in 'Downton Abbey.'
The Hollywood hunk, 53, will make a one-off appearance alongside the cast of the hit drama as part of this year's 'Text Santa' charity appeal on ITV.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "This is the biggest moment in 'Downton' history and shows it's now the biggest drama in the world.
"All the plans have been shrouded in secrecy because George was determined for his role not to leak out."
The star has already filmed his scenes for the TV special, which will see his American character attend a wedding at the famous Yorkshire country estate, and the episode will air on the same night as the annual charity event, which aims to raise money for UK charities during the Christmas period, in December.
George took on the role after striking up a friendship with Hugh Bonneville - who plays Robert Crawley in the period drama - when they both starred in the comedy 'The Monuments Men' earlier this year.
The source explained: "George and Hugh became really close during filming and it became very clear that George loved 'Downton.' He would joke around about the idea of getting a part so Hugh helped put the wheels in motion to make it happen."
