Emma Willis wants another baby


Emma Willis wants another baby.
'The Voice' host - who has children Isabelle, four, and Ace, two, with husband Matt Willis - would love to expand her family further, but her McBusted star spouse is happy as they are at the moment, though he admits he is "open to" having more kids in future.
Matt said: "Emma would like one more in the next few years. But I like my life right now - my kids sleep through the night, they talk to me, but I love babies.
"I'm more than open to it. I just go along with s**t anyway. I don't have a choice in these things."
Matt is currently touring with McBusted and loves having his children come along to the shows.
Asked how it feels for his kids to see him on stage, he told Now magazine: "It's awesome. My daughter came to The O2 [arena in London], her first concert. She was excited for about a week before. We bought her an iPod with Busted and McFly songs on it so she could learn the words."
And Matt's bandmates love having the children around.
Harry Judd said: "Matt's kids are gorgeous, they're so sweet and very entertaining backstage."

Katherine Parkinson teases IT Crowd movie


Katherine Parkinson has hinted 'The IT Crowd' might be made into a movie.
The actress suggested Channel 4 bosses are considering bringing the popular sitcom about a gang of geeky office workers to life on the big screen.
Viewers were left disappointed when the show wrapped last September after a successful seven-year run, and Katherine revealed the show could possibly be revived in a feature-length format with a musical twist.
According to the Radio Times, she teased: "I think if it did have a future, it would be that sort of thing. I always thought it would be nice to do a sort of musical film!"
Katherine bagged the gong for Best Female Performance In A Comedy Programme at the BAFTAs over the weekend, while her co-star Richard Ayoade scooped the Best Male Performance prize.
The star was quick to backtrack about the movie for fear of getting in trouble with show bosses, however.
She joked: "You'd have to ask [show writer] Graham Linehan."
Katherine also said filming the last ever episode of 'The IT Crowd' - which also starred Chris O'Dowd and Matt Berry - was very emotional.
She recalled: "I did feel a bit emotional. I feel like I've grown up on that show. The relationships I have with them are all so deep rooted, really."

EastEnders’ Tina and Tosh want baby


EastEnders' Tina Carter and Tosh are to have a baby.
The soap's lesbian couple will be at the centre of a new baby plot as they try to start a family following their recent decision to move in together.
Tina - played by Luisa Bradshaw-White - has been seen getting close to returning Walford character Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) in recent weeks, even sharing a steamy kiss with her, but the café worker will soon be determined to settle down with Tosh (Rebecca Scroggs).
Quizzed if Tina and Sonia will pursue a relationship, Luisa told ITV's 'This Morning' earlier today (20.05.14): "No, not this year. I've heard rumours, but I've got my girlfriend and we're going to have a baby. Well, we're going to try!"
The 38-year-old actress also admitted she worried about joining such an intense TV show but was pleasantly surprised by how easily she settled into her role as Tina after joining the soap last year.
Luisa said: "I did 'Grange Hill' for four years, and 'Holby City' for four years at the same studio. I always would say, 'I can't do 'EastEnders' - too many cameras, too quick, too many episodes, too famous.' Then I became a mum and I really chilled out. I got older and it's the easiest job I've done."
Meanwhile, co-star Declan Bennett - who plays the mysterious Charlie Cotton - defended his shady character, whose identity was recently questioned by his grandmother Dot Branning (June Brown) after only discovering his existence earlier this year.
The actor said: "I think there's some stuff going on in Charlie's world. He's getting himself mixed up in a lot of things. I think he's trying to do the right things, but for potentially the wrong reasons ... or do the wrong things for the right reasons, I should say!"

Sherlock return makes ‘significant progress’


The stars of 'Sherlock' have made "progress" on shooting the next series.
Writer and star Mark Gatiss - who plays Mycroft Holmes on the show - has hinted the fourth series of the hit detective drama could begin production in the near future as the show's busy cast and crew, including Benedict Cumberbatch, have finally found dates they are available.
Speaking to Radio Times, he said: "I can officially tell you that we are moving closer to agreeing some dates to shoot. If that sounds like a party line, it is.
"That is proper progress because Ben and Martin [Freeman] are so busy, and Steven and myself are so busy, but actually trying to get everybody to interlock ... we have made significant progress."
Mark, 47, also denied speculation a fourth series could be shelved in favour of doing a one-off 'Sherlock' film, insisting three 90-minute episodes is still "the plan".
He added to Digital Spy: "There was talk amongst people who have nothing to do with 'Sherlock', I'm afraid."
Mark previously claimed shooting of the fourth series depends on Martin and Benedict's schedules as they have become "superstars" with numerous film and TV roles following the success of the BBC One drama.
He said: "There was suddenly a kind of outraged response that it might not be back until 2016 but that's precisely how long it always is. It's always two years! But we'd like to return soon, of course."

Michelle Keegan got whiplash filming Corrie exit


Michelle Keegan got whiplash filming her 'Coronation Street' death.
The 26-year-old beauty was left terrified filming dramatic scenes in which her character Tina McIntyre is pushed to her death by a mystery assailant.
She said: "It was so scary, I was crying my eyes out, absolutely crying, saying, 'I can't do it.' "
Tina plunges from a balcony at the builders' yard in Weatherfield next week, and even though Michelle's fiancé Mark Wright was on set to support her, the actress struggled with her fear of heights.
Michelle explained: "I took it slowly. I started doing it crouched, going back and eventually did it stood up.
"The scene was awful. Your head goes back so hard I had whiplash for a week."
Michelle also revealed how her final scenes left her emotionally drained as her character realises her married lover Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) has chosen his wife, Carla (Alison King), over her.
She told The Sun newspaper: "We'd been filming for three weeks solid and we were screaming and crying, screaming and crying - and your body feels the emotion."
Four characters will be suspected of Tina's murder and viewers will find out the identity of the killer in next Tuesday's (27.05.14) episode.
The potential murderers include Tina's lover Peter, his wife Carla, Carla's brother Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) and soap villain Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).

Orgy held at Gogglebox mansion


A giant orgy took place in the 'Gogglebox' mansion.
A 60-strong crowd of sex-mad swingers arrived at posh TV couple Dom and Steph Parker's Salutation Estate in Sandwich, Kent, for a champagne-fuelled private party.
The £1,700 bash - which took place while the 'Gogglebox' favourites weren't at home - was organised by the Killing Kittens private club, which is run by Emma Sayle, a former school friend of Duchess Catherine.
A spokesperson for Steph and Dom told The Sun newspaper: "The Salutation is frequently hired out for corporate bookings and with this sort of hire arrangement Dominic and Stephanie would not be aware of specifics at the event.
"We can confirm they were not at The Salutation over the dates mentioned."
The telly couple, who found fame on the BAFTA-winning Channel 4 show last year, regularly hire the £3.5 million mansion out for private parties, but none as usual as the raunchy Killing Kittens party, which was held especially for older members called the Silver Kittens.
Emma explained: "Age is just a number and people don't stop having sex when they turn 45 - so far the events have been a great success. We have some members who have been a part of KK for years.
"It didn't seem right to tell them they couldn't come because they had passed the age limit."
Masked guests paid £500 to attend the party as a couple, while single women parted with just £60.

James Corden expecting second child


James Corden is expecting his second child with wife Julia Carey.
The couple - who were married in September 2012 and have a three-year-old son named Max - are said to be "delighted" at the news and can't wait to add to their growing brood.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "James and Julia have loved every minute of becoming parents to their toddler Max and were keen to give him a brother or sister who is close in age.
"They're delighted to be pregnant again and can't wait to expand the family."
The 35-year-old comedian - who won a BAFTA for his Sky 1 sports panel show 'A League of Their Own' on Sunday night (18.05.14) - dropped five stone following the birth of Max in 2011 and put an end to his excessive partying to spend more time with his family.
Speaking about his decision to change his lifestyle, James said: "I just thought, 'Enough now. Get a grip. I want to be around to enjoy this.'
"Being married, having kids - it changes you. It's the best thing in the world. We do nothing. Hang out, eat, chill, watch TV, go for walks, just be together."
However, the 'Gavin and Stacey' star wasn't always thrilled with the idea of becoming a parent and admitted that it took him a while to adjust to being a father.
He previously said: "For a while it's nothing but annoying and then slowly and surely in around three months when you get a smile you go, "Aww, actually you're all right.'
"Let's be honest - I'm fed up of these guys who go, 'Aww! The minute I held it in my arms, I just knew I'd jump in front of a bus for it.' No you didn't. A parked bus maybe."

Ant McPartlin has arthritis


Ant McPartlin has arthritis in his thumb.
The 38-year-old TV presenter - one half of Ant and Dec - has developed the medical condition, which causes inflammation in the joints, just months after accidentally slicing off part of his thumb with a vegetable slicer in February.
Describing his injury as a "nasty old thing to see", he added to The Sun newspaper: "I know that I'm going to sound like a nan, but I've got to keep it out of the rain. The rain messes with it and it gets really stiff. I've got arthritis. I can't go giving thumbs up willy-nilly."
The Geordie star, who scooped up two BAFTAs with Declan Donnelly at the British Academy Television Awards on Sunday (18.05.14), also spoke for the first time about his attack at the hands of a group of young hooligans in March.
Ant and his mum were left shaken up after he asked the yobs to stop filming him on camera-phones as they enjoyed a quiet meal at a pub in Chiswick, West London.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's not going to stop me going out for a pint. These sort of things happen once in a blue moon."

Natasha Hamilton is having a baby girl


Natasha Hamilton is having a baby girl.
The former Atomic Kitten singer - who already has sons, Josh, 11, with nightclub owner Fran Cosgrave, Harry, 9, with dancer Gavin Hatcher and Alfie, 3, with ex-husband Riad Erraji - has revealed she is expecting a baby girl with '5ive's' Ritchie Neville.
She said: "We did it ... we made a girl!
"Little girls have been so on my radar, I see them with pigtails and frilly socks with their mums and I still can't believe I'm having a mini-me!"
The 'Whole Again' singer, 31 - who became romantically involved with Ritchie during the filming of ITV's reality show 'The Big Reunion' last year - even hinted that an engagement may soon be on the cards for the pair.
Speaking in the new issue of OK! magazine, she said: "I'm just waiting for the wedding ring now, to be honest."
Ritchie, 34, also spoke about his excitement at hearing the news but confessed he's worried about becoming an over-protective father.
He said: "I was shell-shocked and like, 'Oh s**t, I'm going to have to be a protective dad. What if she brings and idiot back when she's 18?'
"A boy was going to be a lot easier - what am I meant to do with a girl?"
Natasha - who announced her pregnancy just last month - has also revealed she suffers from a severe anxiety disorder which was recently exacerbated when she feared she had gone into premature labour.
She said: "I was in so much pain, my belly was tightening. It was frightening - water infections can trigger premature labour - but luckily I caught it just in time."
