Anna Ryder Richardson is the hot favourite to leave the ITV reality TV show, I’m A Celebrity tonight….but do you think the bookies are right?

Personally I would much rather Cerys left, I am so looking forward to seeing what kicks off between her and Marc, or his girlfriend for that matter, upon her exit.

Go on, leave Anna in for one more night!

Gareth Gates, Samantha Mumba, Suzanne Shaw and Natalie Pinkman are amongst a host of stars signed up to take part in ITV’s ice extravaganza, Dancing On Ice according to The Sun.

The newspaper also reports that Hollyoaks Chris Fountain and former Emmerdale actor Tim Vincent have agreed to take part.

But the name that really interests me is Aggie MacKenzie, as in one half of Kim and Aggie the cleaners. How on earth will she be able to ice skate? Surely her knees will break or something equally catastrophic…….

The lastest I’m A Celebrity evictee, John Burton Race, has confirmed rumours that Marc and Cerys did sneak off to the camps medical hut for a bit of a romp.

“There were times the pair disappeared off together,” the chef said, cryptically adding “I know what I know. There were things the viewers wouldn’t have seen or heard in there.” John went on to say “Relationships are formed. And if you want to talk privately, you put your hand over your mic.”

Well I was sure that he was gay. But apparently Sarah from X Factor’s Same Difference has claimed that her brother Sean is looking for a new girlfriend and she has invited all interested parties to apply.

If you are interested in dating a raging meterosexual, then write to Sarah listing your five best qualities and include a picture (rude one’s will be automatically disqualified apparently) to:

HEY SARAH! I WANNA DATE SEAN!

X Factor judge Simon Cowell is furious with girl group Hope, and fed up with their diva demands. Last week Simon eventually allowed the girls to choose their own song and style, but warned them that they would have to live with the consequences. Subsequently the girls found themselves in the bottom two yet again.

A show insider told The Daily Star: “Simon was angry with the girls.

“They basically said they know more about the business than he does. Read more & comment »

It’s hard to believe that Strictly Come Dancing has whipped the a** of X Factor in the ratings battle yet again! To read the newspaper coverage it would be easy to believe that the ITV show was by far more popular, but I suppose all it really means is that it has more hard working publicists.

Strictly Come Dancing was watched on Saturday night by an average 9.3million viewers.

But its ITV rival trailed behind – managing about 8.8million.

And when the pair went head to head, Strictly was up by as much as 3.3MILLION.

And all that without sob stories, dead parents and death defying illnesses…….that really is one great group of dancers!

X Factor judge, Louis Walsh was left red faced on Saturday night as his mother revealed that Louis is not in fact his real name. Louis real name is actually Michael Vincent, which I actually prefer.

An insider told The Sun: “The warm-up guy was speaking to guests to keep the audience on a high. At one point he had a chat with Maureen.

“I don’t know if he’d been tipped off but he decided to ask Maureen if Louis was his real name and she said it wasn’t. It was hilarious, nobody could believe his real name was so ordinary.

He may have offended you, especially if you are of the female persuasion, but there is no denying that this years I’m A Celebrity wouldn’t have been as lively without football legend Rodney Marsh.

Rodney has tonight become the fifth person to leave I’m A Celebrity…..and strangely enough he looked absolutely thrilled!

He will be missed!

Strictly Come Dancing has lost John Barnes tonight, and I don’t imagine that anyone is very shocked. If it were a fair world, John would have lasted longer than Kenny Logan, but this man seems to have the whole of Scotland behind him!

John found himself tonight in the bottom two couples along with Brendan Cole and Kelly Brooks, and against such accomplished dancers he didn’t have much of a chance. The judges voted unanimously to keep Kelly, but it was nice to see Brendan being taken down a peg or two by the judges and the public!

Speaking at a press conference today, X Factor evictee Beverley Trotman has revealed that she will do “anything” to keep her dreams alive.

Bev vowed to keep singing and performing saying:

“I don’t know what the path will be, but what I will say is I’m ready to do anything. I feel I’ve really grown in this competition.

“I’ve got a lot to offer and the theatre is one option, maybe a record deal is another option, but these are all things that I’m happy to look at.”

I hope she gets the offers she is looking for, but if not at least she can count on her teaching job. In that way she is luckier than most.

Marc Bannerman flew back to London a matter of days, almost hours ago, but alreay he is offering to return to Australia if Cerys Matthews wants him to.

He has been binned by one woman, so it’s straight onto the next…..very smooth Marc!

When Cerys received his letter. offering to return in the I’m A Celebrity Bush Telegraph, she said:

“When we first started we were just friends and then we started thinking more than that,” Cerys explained. “But we didn’t want to act on that, not under the circumstances, I knew that he had a girlfriend and he didn’t want to hurt this girlfriend and we haven’t had a chance to talk about it really.

“We were just going to wait and see what it felt like when we got back home when the person involved could talk with Marc and you know, try and do things with as little hurt as possible and now I can be honest and say I did have feelings but we didn’t even talk because we didn’t want to hurt anybody and we didn’t intend for this to happen.” Read more & comment »

Another lady has jumped on the Marc Bannerman band wagon, and claimed that the former soap star had already cheated on his grilfriend before he even entered the jungle.

Barmaid Meg Raphael told The News Of The World newspaper:

“I had no idea he was seeing someone else – he told me he was single. I only realised when I saw Sarah talking about his flirting with Cerys in the jungle.”

“And when I saw how he was with Cerys I thought, ‘That’s exactly how he was with me.’” Read more & comment »

Former Mystique singer, Alesha Dixon is said to be planning to go head to head with the X Factor winner this Christmas. BBC are planning to release a version of the Strictly Come Dancing theme tune, titled ‘Let’s Go Dancing’, and Alesha Dixon who is currently competing on the show is said to be favourite to record it.

“We hope one of the show’s stars will sing it and propel it to the top,” Dan McGrath, who co-wrote the track with Josh Phillips, told the Sunday Mirror. “Strictly is winning the ratings war – now we’re going to pile on the agony.”

He added: “We’re expecting Simon Cowell to be crying into his Christmas turkey.”
