Ian ‘H’ Watkins injured in Tumble rehearsals


Ian 'H' Watkins has injured his hand while rehearsing for 'Tumble'.
The Steps singer received a nasty injury as he prepares to show off his gymnastic prowess in BBC One's new primetime show, where celebrities learn various disciplines such as tumbling and double trapeze.
Participants are still in the early stages of filming the show, but their training is already taking its toll.
Yesterday (16.07.14), H shared a photo of his blistered and bleeding hand, which he hurt whilst practising a difficult move on an aerial hoop.
Accompanying the graphic image, he wrote on Twitter: "Ripped my hands apart on a move called a Tombé on the Aeriel Hoop! I taped up & got back on tho! @BBCOne #Tumble (sic)"
Later Ian even joked: "I'm kind of starting to enjoy the pain !! x (sic)"
The singer isn't the only celebrity to hurt themselves during training.
Former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Lucy Mecklenburgh tweeted: "I have counted 16 bruises on my body!! Wow I need to get out more!!! Thanks #Tumble (sic)"
Luckily, the contestants are in safe hands as they practice under the guidance of the British Amateur Gymnastics Association, which has trained Olympic gymnasts Beth Tweddle and Louis Smith.
Louis will appear on 'Tumble' as a judge alongside Olympic gold medallist Nadia Comaneci, Commonwealth gold medallist Craig Heap and choreographer and aerial artist Sebastien Stella.
Beth has her own role on the show and will act as a mentor to the celebrities throughout the series.

Simon Cowell wants Dermot’s dressing room


Simon Cowell has insisted on taking Dermot O'Leary's 'X Factor' dressing room.
The 41-year-old TV presenter was given Simon's old quarters when he quit the show in 2010, but the music mogul has snatched it back ahead of his return to the ITV singing competition this year.
The plush dressing room is the largest one at Fountain Studios in north London, where the 'X Factor' live shows are filmed, and is fitted with luxury amenities as well as a private bathroom.
Simon, 54, has already called in a decorating team to give it an overhaul with new carpeting, padded walls and a luxury sofa.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Poor Dermot. First he gets ridiculed in 'The X Factor' musical 'I Can't Sing' and now he's being evicted from the best dressing room."
Cheryl Cole, who is also back on the judging panel, will get back her old dressing room, too, following Nicole Scherzinger's decision to quit the show.
New judge Mel B will take over Sharon Osbourne's old quarters while 'X Factor' stalwart Louis Walsh will remain in the dressing room he uses every year.

Lindsay Lohan gets friendly with Dan Osborne


Lindsay Lohan has made an unlikely pal in 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk Dan Osborne.
The Hollywood actress - who is in London preparing for her West End debut in a theatre production of 'Speed-the-Plow' - has been hanging out with the burly reality star and friends are reportedly worried the friendship may affect his romance with 'EastEnders' beauty Jacqueline Jossa.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Dan is a taken man and very happy but he was keen to be introduced to Lindsay as she is such a big star.
"It's all harmless fun at the moment but Lindsay has a reputation for fancying hunky Z-list Brits so Dan should tread carefully."
In fact, Lindsay can count several 'TOWIE' cast members as friends.
Newcomer Vas J. Morgan is said to be a close pal of the 'Freaky Friday' actress as is former 'TOWIE' star Tom Kilby.
Dan has already declared his feelings for Jacqueline on a recent episode of the hit ITV2 show, as he told his friends that he "loves" the 'EastEnders' actress.
He told Tom Pearce: "I would definitely say I was in love. And I don't believe in throwing that word around, but I am happier than I've ever been."

Kevin Feige: New Daredevil will be ‘best’ yet


Netflix's 'Daredevil' series will be the "best incarnation" of the character yet.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the comic book brand's TV arm has lofty ambitions for the new adaptation following a critically panned Ben Affleck-starring 2003 movie based on the blind superhero.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "The goal on the 'Daredevil' series is to now make the best incarnation of Daredevil that has ever existed."
Kevin - who oversees all of Marvel's movies including 'The Avengers' - says there may be some crossover between Marvel TV's five new shows and Marvel Studios' cinematic releases.
However, the top priority is to make the best show possible.
He explained: "I think they are being very, very smart in approaching those shows in the way we approach movies, which is, focus on what you are working on first and make it as great as it can be -beginning, middle and end - and then look to see if there are places where it makes sense for some interweaving of continuity."
'Daredevil', which stars British actor Charlie Cox and Hollywood siren Rosario Dawson, is the first of five Marvel series to air on Netflix beginning in 2015.
Marvel will also produce three other shows based on lesser-known characters Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, before uniting them all for a miniseries called 'The Defenders'.

Len Goodman criticises stars who leave BBC for ITV


Len Goodman has criticised stars for quitting the BBC in favour of ITV.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge has spoken out about the habit of presenters and talent who begin their careers on the BBC leaving to work for rivals ITV when they're offered more money.
He said: "I can't stand these people. The BBC made them what they are and then they shoot off to ITV. You have to be a bit loyal in this game.
"I'd never not do Strictly, it's fantastic. I love it and without the BBC I would have got nothing."
Examples of BBC presenters who have switched to ITV include former Strictly judge Alesha Dixon - who joined ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' for a big-money deal in 2012 - and former 'BBC Breakfast' host Susanna Reid, who now works on rival show 'Good Morning Britain'.
Len, 70, first joined the BBC in 2004 when the first series of Strictly aired and he insists that he will remain 100% loyal to the company.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've been so fortunate to work on Strictly. Sometimes I read, 'Goodman isn't going to do it any more'. That's a load of nonsense. I'll never not do it for as long as they ask me to do the show."

Antony Costa’s fiancee in ‘traumatic’ labour


Antony Costa's fiancée went through a "traumatic" labour.
The Blue singer and partner Rosanna Jasmin welcomed baby daughter Savannah Rose into the world last month, but Rosanna - who had been treated for pre-eclampsia during her pregnancy - admits it was horrific to be rushed to hospital for an induced delivery.
She recalled: "I'd planned a water birth with candles and music and was expecting it to be a magical experience. It wasn't like that at all. It was really traumatic. I started to cry because I was scared in case anything went wrong."
The 28-year-old dental nurse's experience was all the more devastating as Antony, 33, wasn't by her side because he was performing with Blue in Cardiff, Wales.
The star rushed back to Essex to be by his fiancée's side during the birth.
He told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "The thing is, I felt so useless. To see your loved one going through the pain she did is horrible. You don't know what to do and when they said they needed to get the baby out straight away, I thought, 'This is dangerous now. this is life or death.' "
Thankfully, Rosanna gave birth to a healthy baby girl and the tot has brought the couple - who got engaged last December - even closer than ever before.
Antony said: "Every time I hold her, she feels like our little miracle. And seeing what Rosanna went through has made us even closer. I've promised I will never complain about having a headache again."

Gogglebox star blasts ‘cringeworthy’ Lockie


James Lock has been branded "cringeworthy" by 'Gogglebox' star Scarlett Moffatt.
'The Only Way is Essex' lothario is accused of flaunting his celebrity status during a night out in Magaluf recently and Scarlett - who works on the party scene on the Spanish island, located in Majorca - was less than impressed by his antics.
She claimed: "I have never witnessed a more cringeworthy man in all my life, he thought he was the dog's b******s sitting there with his bottle of Grey Goose vodka.
"Then he asked my mate Nathan if he could borrow one euro for a spray of Lynx from the toilet attendant.
"My mate was like, 'Aren't you loaded, son?' But James revealed he never bothers taking money out with him anymore as he always gets free drinks."
Scarlett also alleges that Lockie - who has had an on/off relationship with co-star Danielle Armstrong - tried to flirt with another partygoer but was swiftly rejected.
Writing in her Daily Star newspaper column, she said: "She seemed to make her excuses and leave and later I saw him walk home with nothing but a sambuca-stained shirt."
Lockie recently escaped a prison sentence after being charged with possession of a Class C drug earlier this year.
Meanwhile, outspoken 'Gogglebox' star Scarlett had kinder words for fellow 'TOWIE' hunk Lewis Bloor and hopes his romance with Lauren Pope works out.
She wrote: "Watching him and Lauren Pope together, I feel like she could be the one to tame him. I hope so. Imagine how cute their babies would be."
