Danniella Westbrook’s fiance arrested


Danniella Westbrook's fiancé was arrested after a row at their home last Friday (08.08.14).
The former 'EastEnders' star reportedly told neighbours that Tom Richards, 24, had wrecked possessions at their home near Rochester, Kent, in a furious argument that saw police called by neighbours.
They arrested the cage fighter for alleged breach of the peace but after being kept in a cell overnight, he was released without charge.
A source said: "Danniella and Tom have been arguing a lot and things escalated last Friday. This row was one of their worst yet and resulted in a lot of objects being smashed. Neighbours heard a screaming and shouting and decided to dial 999."
The 40-year-old actress - who was seen throwing a phone at Tom as they rowed in the street last week - is now said to have ended their relationship and jetted off on holiday for some space.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "She has dumped Tom and jetted off for a holiday. She came to realise they were not right for each other. She doesn't need the drama in her life."
Danniella - who has children Kai, 17, and Jody, 12, from previous relationships - and Tom got engaged in April after two months together.
She split from second husband Kevin Jenkins in January after 12 years of marriage.

Brianne Delcourt had gut feeling romance with Matt was a mistake


Brianne Delcourt had a gut feeling getting into a relationship with Matt Lapinskas would ultimately be a mistake.
The 'Dancing On Ice' star - who was left devastated recently when dancer Camilla Rowland was photographed leaving the couple's house - tried to convince the former 'EastEnders' actor they should just be friends when they first got together 18 months ago, but she eventually fell for him.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "When we first got together it wasn't something I really wanted. I didn't think I would fall in love with him because I kind of knew I was coming home and he would be in the UK.
"I said to him after the tour in April 2013, 'I think it's best if we go back to being best buddies.' He pursued and pursued and I fell for him when I should have gone with my gut."
Brianne - who first met Matt when the pair came second on the 2013 series of 'Dancing On Ice' - also slammed Matt for bringing a woman back to their house and claims he called the professional skater his "soulmate" just two months.
She added: "Go do whatever you want, but you don't bring her back to our home that we moved into together and to the bed we slept in while all my stuff is still in the house.
"One minute you're saying you love someone and they're your soulmate and then two months later you jump into bed with another woman. That's not love. He doesn't even know what the word means."

Alison Steadman sings karaoke to relax


Alison Steadman sings karaoke to relax when her shooting schedule stresses her out.
The 67-year-old actress - who can currently be seen in BBC One comedy 'Boomers' - likes to sing along to her favourite Adele and Susan Boyle songs when she's had enough on set.
Luckily, her 36-year-old son Toby bought her a home karaoke machine so she can warble on the mic whenever the feeling takes her.
She said: "My son Toby bought me a karaoke machine and if I get really stressed I put it on and sing Adele, Susan Boyle and Nina Simone - basically any song my voice can cope with. It's really fun."
Alison is enjoying still being busy in her career as she approaches 70 but admits hitting 60 was a lot harder for her than when she reached 50.
Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: "Turning 50 wasn't a big deal for me, but being 60 was a bit more difficult! I'm so forgetful, I recently lost my glasses and there they were in the fridge, all frosted up - ridiculous."

Charlotte Crosby causes big divide in the Geordie Shore house


Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby is causing a big divide in the house.
The return of the 20-year-old barmaid has driven a wedge between the boys and the girls of the house.
Speaking in the next episode, fellow housemate Vicky Pattison explained: "Holly [Hagan] and Aaron have fallen out, nobody's really speaking to each other and me, I'm just f***ing pissed.
"The dynamics in the house have definitely changed, I'm not arguing that but I don't think it's fair to blame Charlotte. Gary's just using her as a scapegoat again."
Aaron Chalmers added: "Me and Gaz were talking and we said since Charlotte's come in the house that Holly's changed.
"You can cut the tension with a knife. Girls there, boys, here."
Vicky wants the fighting between cast members to come to an end.
She said: "It's got to stop, I don't understand what's going on."
Aaron added: "I'm glad Vicky agrees there's a weird vibe at the moment, hopefully she can speak to the girls and get us back to being a family."
The next episode of 'Geordie Shore' airs tonight (12.08.14) at 10pm on MTV.

Emma Willis wants Gwen Stefani to join The Voice


Emma Willis wants Gwen Stefani, Pink or Katy Perry to replace Kylie Minogue as a judge on 'The Voice'.
The 38-year-old star co-hosts the pop star search show with Marvin Humes and she thinks any one of the three singers would be perfect to take a spot on the panel.
She said: "I think Gwen Stefani would be amazing, as would Katy Perry or Pink. They're hugely successful women, but they're really likeable and honest too, which you need in a show like that. You can't be stringing people along."
Kylie is confirmed to be departing 'The Voice', while it is not yet known if Ricky Wilson, will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones will return.
As well as co-hosting the BBC One series Emma also presents the live 'Big Brother' shows.
The brunette beauty - who has two children, daughter Isabelle, five, and two-year-old son Ace, with her husband, McBusted star Matt Willis - never considered giving up her 'BB' role for 'The Voice' as she loves working on both programmes.
When asked if she considered quitting 'Big Brother' when she landed 'The Voice' job, she replied: "No, and I was never asked to choose. They're very different shows. My daughter loves 'The Voice', but she'll be in double-digits before she's allowed to watch 'Big Brother'."

Emmerdale’s Fiona Wade defends character’s arranged marriage


'Emmerdale' star Fiona Wade has defended her character's arranged marriage.
The 35-year-old actress - who plays Priya Sharma in ITV soap - thinks passion is much more dangerous for her character than an arranged wedding.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "Marrying out of pure passion would be much more dangerous. I don't think it's such a bad thing to commit to someone quickly, I'm a bit like Priya in that way.
"You should choose someone because you have the same values and goals and are going in the same direction. That's what Priya is doing now.
Fiona was slightly shocked when the writing team told her Priya would be having an arranged marriage - she is tying the knot with Rakesh Kotecha (Pasha Bocarie) - but she doesn't think it's in anyway a controversial storyline.
She explained: "When I was told about Priya's arranged marriage I was surprised because I never saw her as a very traditional girl.
"But I don't think it's that controversial. She's sick to death of guys messing her around and she wants to find one who is going to look after her. Asking her family to help is a lot better than trying to pick up someone in a nightclub, which is what she was doing before."
Fiona is single in real-life and although she is content to be on her own at the moment she would like to find a nice guy and make him her boyfriend.
She said: "I would love to get married and settle down too but so far I've always put career first. That's why I'm not married. I would love to meet someone special now and settle down. But it just hasn't happened yet."

Bobby Norris’ mother diagnosed with leukaemia


Bobby Norris' mother is battling leukaemia.
'The Only Way is Essex' star is desperately searching for a bone marrow match for his mother Kym so she can have an operation to treat the potentially fatal disease.
Speaking on ITV show 'This Morning', Bobby said: "I saw her briefly yesterday. She's not been allowed home because she can't fight off infections ... her immune system is really low.
"I just go in there and spend as many hours as I can during visiting hours, but it never feels like enough. You just feel so helpless."
Bobby explained how his mother fell ill very quickly. She was working full-time as a dental receptionist and after complaining of feeling lethargic she went to see her doctor and the blood test she underwent had a life-changing consequences.
He revealed: "It was that quick that she became so ill ... now she's on intense chemotherapy twice a day and that in itself is quite hard to watch, because just three weeks ago she was living a normal life.
"I don't know how it has become this real so fast. I feel like it's flipped my world upside down ... and my way of thinking is quite different now.
"I see people taking things for granted with their mums, I want to do those little things [with my mum] that I took for granted for 27 years. It's the little things you miss when someone isn't there."
The reality television star encouraged people to sign up to the Anthony Nolan Trust and get their bone marrow tested to see if they can become donors to the thousands of leukaemia sufferers in the UK.

Broadchurch creator reveals show spoiler


'Broadchurch' creator Chris Chibnall has revealed a spoiler for the show's second series.
The TV writer and producer - who, until now, has always kept the secrets of the programme under wraps - asked author Erin Kelly to put in a secret about series two in the novel adaptation of the ITV drama show which he commissioned.
Erin said: "About three days before we went to press, Chris put in one tiny little clue about something that happens in series two.
"He asked me to add it in, literally just as we had the proof all laid out ready to go to press.
"It's something only the die-hards will pick up on but there's one line quite early on in the book that won't make sense to anybody. It's something very playful that he did right at the last minute."
Erin also admitted she is looking forward to seeing if anyone notices the spoiler in her book.
She added to Radio Times magazine: "It doesn't give anything away but I'm sure it'll get people talking. I'm going to be checking out the chatrooms to see if people have picked up on it."
The BAFTA award-winning show - which stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman as DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller - is expected to return to our screens in 2015.
