Dynamo to reinvent the live magic show


Dynamo intends to "reinvent the live magic show".
The 31-year-old magician has announced that the fourth series of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible' will be the last, with the Bradford-born trickster set to make the move into the live arena.
He explained: "I think there are so many opportunities in the live arena for what I do, so it will be a great chance to kind of reinvent the live magic show.
"I can think back to David Copperfield and Paul Daniels, but I think in this day and age, there aren't that many magic shows in theatres so I think it will be interesting to take a look at that."
Dynamo also revealed that one of his ambitions is to perform magic in front of hip-hop star Eminem.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I think it would be pretty cool to perform magic in front of Eminem - I'm just a huge fan of his work. He's also a big comic book fan and so am I, so we can just geek out together."

Speaking after the ceremony, she said: "I feel so full, that's why the tears come out. I'm stuffed really. I'm beyond full. My cup runneth over right now. I feel absolutely all of those things: I feel full of joy, like a fountain. Mission accomplished."
The 33-year-old star was presented her trophy by Morgan Freeman an admitted she felt star-struck as she walked up to collect the prize.
She said: "It's like you're walking and you're aware that you're walking toward Morgan Freeman, but you're fairly certain you should still be sitting on your seat. You're like, 'Maybe I'm embarrassing myself, maybe they didn't call my name, maybe somebody else's name. I don't know what's happening.' "

Joey Essex and Sam Faiers are ‘a lot happier’


Joey Essex says his relationship with Sam Faiers has benefited from no longer being shown on 'The Only Way Is Essex'.
The reality TV star and his lover - who have had two breakups and a broken engagement - are in a better place without being on the show, and he insisted they are "a lot happier" with their romance.
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine: "When you're playing out a relationship on TV, you're in each other's faces all the time.
"Now it's a normal relationship and it's a lot more healthy. Before we used to see each other on telly. Now we see each other when we're watching TV on my sofa or hers.
"We're a lot happier, 100 per cent. We're a lot busier than we were on 'TOWIE', so we have to plan when we can see each other. Unfortunately, when I was in Ibiza, she was in Portugal doing a personal appearance."
Meanwhile, Joey opened up about their reunion in March following a split 10 months earlier, and admitted her being diagnosed with Crohn's disease prompted him to talk to her again.
He said: "[The illness] gave me, not an excuse, but [I felt] like I, 100 per cent, needed to talk to her.
"It was like, I can't not talk to her. As soon as we spoke to each other, it was like that.
"It's all or nothing with me and Sam. It's like every time we're talking [and then] we split up, but as soon as we start talking again, it's full on."

Meanwhile, the star has insisted she isn't thinking about "the future" and wants to simply "enjoy" her time on the show.
She told The Independent on Sunday newspaper's New Review magazine: "At the moment I'm really happy.
"It's one of those jobs that will onyl happen once - the whole adventure that it brings. The key is not to worry about the future, and enjoy it."

Danniella Westbrook reveals cocaine relapse


Danniella Westbrook has revealed she has started taking cocaine again.
The former 'EastEnders' actress has admitted she is struggling with her battle with addiction, and confessed she took the drug again in April after an argument her now ex-boyfriend Tom Richards.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I was out in Spain with Tom and we had a massive argument after his drink was spiked. He flew back and I was in the company of some people there.
"I was offered coke and took it. It was there and I did it. I'm a drug addict. In that moment I thought - f**k it, I'm going to do it.
"I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and it was the wrong decision. I should have known better. I took two or three lines. It wasn't loads but it was three lines too many."
Meanwhile, Danniella - who admitted she has taken the class A drug "five to six times since" - insisted she "felt like s**t" after accepting it without considering the consequences after being warned in the late 1990s she would die within two weeks if her habit continued at the same rate.
She added: "After Magaluf I went back home and cried in the bathroom. I thought about how I had thrown everything away. I was scared of being where I was and having two weeks to live.
"The most frightening thing was I didn't think about it at all. I just f***ing did it and that's probably more scary than planning it. I felt like s**t about myself.
"At that moment it numbed me for a minute. The next day I felt like crap and thought I was dirty and useless. I tried to forget everything that happened."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh’s rivalry is ‘toxic’


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh's 'X Factor' rivalry has become "toxic".
The returning judge has clashed with her co-star repeatedly while filming for the new series, and it is said his claims she isn't fit to be on the show have left her infuriated.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "The atmosphere has become toxic - she hates him with a real passion and it shows.
"It's no secret that Cheryl didn't want Louis on the panel, but since then he has been lording his victory and takes every opportunity to knock her.
"On the panel he has repeatedly slapped her down, and she has given him some poisonous stares in return. If looks could kill, Luis would be a dead man."
According to reports, the pair are being kept apart when they are not filming to stop the rivalry going too far.
The source added: "The tension between them became painfully obvious when they clashed at Boot Camp.
"They made Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne look like best pals.
"This is a pressure cooker and it's only a matter of time before someone explodes."

Mark-Francis Vandelli wants to ban sandals


Mark-Francis Vandelli thinks wearing flip-flops should be banned.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star has confessed he thinks it's socially unacceptable to expose too much of ones feet while in public and therefore would like the production of sandals to be halted.
Quizzed on whether he liked flip flops, he exclaimed: "No! They should not be worn. EVER. There is no instance in which this footwear should even be allowed out of the factory and onto the high street."
The reality TV star claims his aversion to the footwear is perfectly understandable, as personal hygiene is one of the most important factors on his list of good manners.
He explained: "For me, odour is very important. People who wear too much perfume, I can't bear. Offending my nostrils is a big no-no."
The 25-year-old Londoner also revealed that while he doesn't like to be exposed to unpleasant smells or bad table-manners, he doesn't mind using public transport in certain areas of his hometown.
Mark told heat magazine: "I have no problem jumping on the bus, taking myself to Bond Street, popping into Yves Saint Laurent and picking something up."

She said: "She's turned such a leaf over the last ten weeks...I'm so proud of her...Our differences were so big...we clashed straight away...I do think we have so many similarities too...Now, I'm over the moon for her, I'm really glad we sorted everything out over the last few days."
Christopher Hall came in third place, Ash Harrison in fourth, Chris Wright fifth and Pav Paul came sixth during tonight's grand finale.
