Grace Andrews dating Calum Best


'The Only Way Is Essex' star Grace Andrews is dating Calum Best.
The 22-year-old reality star is reported to have been on several dates with the notorious ladies man, who is said to be keen to appear on the new series of the ITV show with her.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Calum doesn't want to feature long-term, just dip in and out when he wants."
Despite Calum - who is the son of the legendary late footballer George Best - being known for his womanising ways due to a brief relationship with Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding and rumoured flings with Lindsay Lohan, Jodie Marsh and Georgia Salpa, Grace is said to be unfazed.
A friend of the tanned beauty said: "Obviously Calum comes with a reputation for womanising, which Grace is aware of. But he is undoubtedly charming and she likes him. She is just going to take things slowly."
Meanwhile, Grace's TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou - who along with Fran Parman fell out with her during the last series of the show - has confessed she's unsure whether they'll be putting their differences behind them anytime soon.
Quizzed on whether they'd made up, Georgia told BANG Showbiz: "Right now, I don't know. We'll see what happens, time will tell on that one probably. We're girls aren't we? We always row but we probably will make up one day. I've got to see her first."

Sam Bailey gives birth to baby girl


'X Factor' winner Sam Bailey has given birth.
The 37-year-old singer - who came in first place on the ITV talent show last year - has welcomed her new daughter with husband Craig Pearson into the world after announcing her pregnancy earlier this year.
The happy news was announced on her official Twitter page, which read: "Sam Bailey gave birth to her third child, a beautiful baby girl, at 10.41am this morning. Both mother and baby are doing well. Team Sam x (sic)."
Sam - who already has son Tommy and daughter Brooke with Craig - will likely be relieved by the safe arrival of her baby girl after suffering a terrifying pregnancy scare earlier this year.
The singer was rushed to hospital in June after she started bleeding unexpectedly but was later given the all clear.
Sam and Craig announced they were expecting their third child together in March and previously admitted they've already decided on a name for their little girl, but are yet to reveal what it is.
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell's record label Syco - with which Sam has a £1million recording contract - have tweeted their congratulations to the now-mother-of-three.
The message from the official SYCO Entertainment account read: "Congratulations @SamBaileyREAL on the birth of a beautiful baby girl (10.41 this morning) x (sic)."

Jane Danson in favour of Vicky Entwistle return


'Coronation Street' star Jane Danson would love Vicky Entwistle to return to the soap.
The 35-year-old actress has starred as Leanne Battersby in the ITV soap for nearly two decades and she's confessed she'd love it if rumours her on-screen step-mum Janice Battersby is set to return were true.
Speaking at the TV Choice Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane, Jane told BANG Showbiz: "I love that rumour. Obviously I would always champion any Battersby coming back.
"Not only because we're all amazing characters, but we all want to do something really special together. I do like those rumours, but how true they are, I don't know."
The soap star - who herself returned to the show in the year 2000 after departing in 2004 - also spoke about her love of Leanne's flaws.
Commenting on her character's inability to escape her past, she said: "Yeah, I quite like that. She's a victim of the past and it's something Corrie revisits, and I like that side of her character.
"I like the fact that she was a wayward child. Just when things are going right for her, they always go wrong. I like that character change."

Mark Wright: Strictly Come Dancing to help with wedding dance


Mark Wright hopes 'Strictly Come Dancing' will improve his dance moves before his wedding.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is competing alongside a number of other celebrities in the current series of the BBC One dance contest and has revealed he hopes his vigorous training will improve his rhythm ahead of his nuptials to former 'Coronation Street' actress Michelle Keegan.
He told BANG Showbiz at the TV Choice Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane: "I've always had a fear of my wedding dance because if you can't move everyone's looking at you at that moment so I think that this is going to be great practice for it."
However, the 27-year-old hunk - who was paired with professional dancer Karen Hauer on Sunday (07.09.14) night's launch show - confessed he thinks his two left feet could affect his chances of winning the show.
He said: "At the moment I'm learning the steps which is great but my biggest problem is natural rhythm and being able to move to the right beat. They say like, '5,6,7,8' and I'm like, 'Where's 5?'"
Mark is also worried about being told off by his partner if he messes around during practice and rehearsals.
Quizzed on whether he and Karen were getting along, he added: "I've heard that she's quite strict. As I said on the show, 'Oh I've got the best partner because she's so quiet and smiley and she's not strict', and then all the audience laughed and I was like, 'Strictly fans know more than me, this girl's strict!'"

X Factor’s Sam Callahan: Robbie would be better than Gary


Sam Callahan thinks Robbie Williams would make a "better" 'X Factor' judge than Gary Barlow.
The former contestant - who received weekly criticism from Gary over his mediocre performances in last year's competition - would have preferred his Take That bandmate be part of the show instead.
Sam explained to BANG Showbiz: "Robbie Williams would be pretty cool, he'd be pretty good. I mean he's the opposite to Gary. He's a real showman and entertainer.
"Robbie's been an idol of mine since I was little, he's an absolute entertainer. It's not like watching anyone else. As a judge I think he would be better for me."
Sam even offered some career advice to Gary - who announced he was leaving the show during last year's competition - believing he would be better suited as a judge on rival BBC show 'The Voice'.
Speaking at the launch of charity event We Day earlier this week, he said: "I think Gary would be good on 'The Voice' because it's about the vocals, because that's what he's always banging on about. But 'The X Factor' is about having the X factor - the full package, and that's what I went there to do."
He added: "At one point he gave me some criticism that was just literally, you know, negative. When you moan at me for one thing you have to think about the whole thing."
We Day, and educational programme We Act, is coming to the UK on March 7, 2014.

Geri Halliwell wanted for Eurovision Song Contest


Geri Halliwell is wanted to represented the UK in this year's 'Eurovision Song Contest'.
The former Spice Girls singer is topping the BBC's list of performers they'd like to compete in the annual competition, and it is said they are now hoping she will accept the offer.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Geri seems like a perfect fit for 'Eurovision'.
"She's up for a laugh and not afraid to camp things up - it's now a case of whether she is as up for it as the BBC is.
"If she wins she would be hailed as a legend but if she doesn't score highly it could be another embarrassing moment."
The final of the annual event - which sees singers from across Europe compete for their country - will be hosted by last year's winners Denmark and take place in May, and the BBC insist a decision hasn't yet been made on who will represent the UK.
A spokesman said: "The BBC is passionate about our involvement in the 'Eurovision Song Contest' and we are collaborating with creative experts across the UK music industry to select this year's entry.
"A decision has not been made. We will make an announcement in due course."

Celebrity Big Brother’s Sam Faiers rushed to hospital


Sam Faiers has been rushed to hospital after a major health scare on the 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The reality TV star was taken ill for the second time during the current series and had to be taken out of the house after suffering an allergic reaction to an unidentified substance which made her face swell up.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, a source said: "This is serious.
"Sam is really struggling. It's why she hasn't been featured as much in the highlights as she would have if she was fully fit."
It is said the experience has become "a nightmare" for the 24-year-old beauty, and it is not known whether she will be able to make it to the final on Wednesday (29.01.14).
An insider added: "The poor girl. Going on 'Celebrity Big Brother' was like a dream come true for her but the whole experience has been a nightmare because of illness.
"There are still five days to go to the final. Questions are being asked over whether she should maybe leave on health grounds."
Meanwhile, a Channel 5 spokesman confirmed: "While Sam was out of the house she was accompanied at all times by a member of staff who ensured that contact with the outside world remained at a minimum."

"He'll sign the deal very soon but has told the team that he's on board. Everyone's over the moon."

The insider added: "His primary home will be in London, although he will keep his LA residences.
"Lauren will also move over here but split her time between London and New York where her son is based."
