You’d be forgiven for thinking that things might be a little tense between Louie Spence and Jason Gardiner at the minute, after Jason got dropped from the Dancing On Ice judging panel when the show returned last month and his pal waltzed straight in and took his place.

However, Louie has claimed that nothing could be further from the truth.

He insists that despite Gardiner’s claims that he was ‘pushed out’ of the show and did not want to leave, he doesn’t blame Spence for his axing and doesn’t mind that it was his friend that got his job.

In fact the Pineapple Dance Studios star says that he and Jason are still close friends and that his new role hasn’t come between them at all.

During an interview on This Morning, Louie said:

“Jason and I had lunch yesterday and he’s been having a great time.”

He added:

“He is absolutely fine, honestly. Our friendship is much stronger than any TV show!”

“We are great friends and there is no animosity between us, and that’s showbusiness…. jobs come and go.”

Spence claimed that he and Jason have faced times like this before and have always competed for work. He added:

“It’s always been the same; I was in Cats, Jason was in Cats. It’s the same kind of thing.”

“We’re used to this, especially in TV. You’re flavour of the month and then you’re gone. I could be out next year, darling so I’m just making the most of it and I’m having as much fun as I can because I know these things may not last.”

Louie has been a surprise hit on the panel and not nearly as irritating as he has been on other shows before this. As well as his usual flamboyant comments and tendency to fling himself around, the dance expert has actually been offering some very good technical advice and the response to his judging performance, seems much more positive than the critique Emma Bunton got last year.

However, ITV may ultimately regret their decision to let Jason go, as just like the X Factor before it, Dancing On Ice has found itself in a bit of a ratings slump. While they previously enjoyed figures of around 10 million each Sunday night, these days only 7 million tune in each weekend.

In a bid to boost viewing figures, bosses are planning an Olympics themed special in the upcoming weeks, in which Olympic champions and show stars Jayne Torville, Christopher Dean, Katarina Witt and Robin Cousins will all give a special one off performance.

Last month The Only Way is Essex star Lauren Pope confirmed that she is one of the 40,000 women in the UK who have received the implants by French company Poly Implant Prostheses (PIP), which following legal proceedings, has now been shut down.

The 29 year old DJ and reality TV star at the time admitted that she was unsure about whether or not she would be having more surgery, to take away and replace the risky implants, however this week, the star paid a visit to MYA Cosmetic Surgery to research having her PIP implants removed and replaced.

The clinic is the same one Pope attended, to have her nose job done last year. In June 2010 she had a Rhinoplasty there, to remove the bump at the top of her nose. Pleased with the results, Lauren tweeted “Hey guys! Just to let u know it is true I did get a nose job the other day by @MYA_Tweet and I am over the moon with the outcome!”

The filming took place last week at a London clinics where TOWIE’s Chloe Sims joined Lauren during her consultation with cosmetic surgeon Mario Russo. Lauren discussed with the surgeon that as well as wanting her PIP implants removed she wanted to change the shape and size of her breasts. “The benefit of having them removed is that I can change what I currently don’t like about my first boob job.”

The reality TV show, which first aired in October 2010, may have contributed to the boom in cosmetic surgery enquiries that have been made in Essex this year. In January 2012 MYA Cosmetic Surgery have reported that they saw a 150% increase in enquiries from the Essex region compared to January 2011.

The most popular procedures people in Essex are enquiring about are:

Breast Surgery which makes up 66% of all enquiries
Nose Reshaping which makes up 10% of all enquiries
Liposuction which makes up 10% of all enquiries.

The remainder of enquiries made also included various Non-Surgical treatments as well as Buttock Implants.

Matthew Wolfenden has reportedly been told that he needs to steer clear of the spray tans, if he wants to keep his day job.

The Emmerdale actor is currently starring on ITV’s Dancing On Ice, where of course it’s almost a legal requirement to be as orange as possible, however producers of the soap feel that a tangoed shop keeper would not fit in particularly well with their storylines, or with the rural based show and have told him that he needs to stay pasty white for filming.

Instead, Matt is now opting for wash on, wash off tans so that he can go from having a healthy glow, to a pasty pallor in a matters of minutes.

A show insider told The Daily Star:

“It would look really odd if one day he’s walking through the village with a tan in the middle of winter.”

Matthew will return to Dancing On Ice this weekend, with a romantic and loved up routine and smoochy music for the Valentines Day themed episode.

He has been a front runner on the show so far, ruling the top of the judges’ leaderboard each week, along with Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter.

However, it has been reported that Matt is still struggling with a previous back injury, which threatened to put him of the ice entirely last week, and insiders say the star is worried that his cut back in rehearsal time, could impact his performance this weekend.

There’s one problem with appearing on a whole host of reality TV shows and chasing dreams of fame and fortune, people are going to know what you look like!

It seems obvious, but it’s a fact that obviously didn’t cross Makosi Musambasi’s mind, when she tried to sneak back into the UK recently, using one of her relatives’ passports.

The former Big Brother housemate flew into London’s Heathrow from Lagos, Nigeria and tried to gain access to Britain, however border officials reportedly recognised her straight away and sent her back the next day, though not before confiscating £12,000 that she was carrying.

Makosi shot to fame on the 2005 series of Big Brother, then on Channel 4 and is best remembered for her filthy antics in the pool, with eventual winner Anthony Hutton.

She went on to land a cameo role in the E4 zombie thriller Dead Set in 2008, has done some presenting work for MTV and in 2010, returned as a contestant on Ultimate Big Brother. She was the second housemate to be evicted, with 47.7% of the public vote, to a booing crowd.

The Britain’s Got Talent panel has been split and it’s making things very awkward for the hopeful acts.

Those who have attended the London auditions all week in London’s Hammersmith Apollo, have remarked on the fact that Simon Cowell seems so obsessed with Baywatch babe and guest judge Carmen Electra, that he barely notices anything or anyone else and she in turn, just agrees with everything he says.

The pair have spent the week stroking and flirting with one another and at one point, the American actress even gave the TV boss a bit of a lap dance in front of the 2,000 strong audience.

However, their behaviour has led to fellow judges Alesha Dixon and David Walliams getting ever closer and frequently, when acts performed for the panel, the judges would split in two, with Simon and Carmen voting one way and the other two stars voting the other.

A source told The Sun: “If Alesha and David liked it, Carmen and Simon didn’t and vice versa.”

We were at the auditions in London last night and more than one act fell foul of the split in votes. Thankfully the audience were very vocal in their opinions and may have saved at least one hopeful, when they demanded the judges give them a second chance.

Carmen haters will be glad to note that the blonde beauty has now finished her Britain’s Got Talent stint and Amanda Holden will be back on the panel, when the tryouts hit Edinburgh this weekend.

Things will soon get back to normal….

The biggest step in any new relationship always is introducing your lover to your parents. It shows you are committed to one another and are moving your partnership to the next level.

So it comes as no surprise that last night David Walliams introduced his new best friend to his beloved mother.

After his mum Kathleen Williams watched her son judge the evening auditions David gave her a guided backstage tour, showing her how the programme gets made.

He then introduced her to the most important person in BGT world, show boss Simon Cowell.

David took to Twitter to reveal that Simon was as ever charming with Kathleen, and wrote:

“My mum just met Simon Cowell and he told her she had lovely skin!”

Meanwhile the BGT team have labelled David “The Candyman” after he keeps treating them to delicious chocolate treats every day.

We bet Simon doesn’t let any of them pass his lips….he’s more into the strange green vegetable smoothies these days!

Simon Cowell and Mezhgan Hussainy in 2011

Simon Cowell certainly does make sure he gets the best treatment when he’s working on Britain’s Got Talent and never before have we seen a man whose makeup needs touched up, quite as often as the vain music mogul.

It was reported in The Sun today, that the X Factor boss has a special strip light placed under the judges’ table but only at his end, so that when the auditions are televised, he will have a healthier glow and clearer complexion than his fellow judges. Journalist Richard White also passed a comment on how stunningly beautiful Cowell’s makeup artist Julia is and how very attentive she is to the star, running up between almost every audition to powder his nose.

When Unreality TV were at Hammersmith Apollo to have a gander at some of the auditions this week, what shocked us what just how like Mezhgan Hussainy, Julia looked.

She is slim, tall, with long dark hair and at least from a distance, could easily be mistaken for Simon’s ex.

Cowell definitely seems to have a type, as before Mezghan he dated the stunning brunette Terri Seymour, then there was Sinitta, Jackie St Clair…..you get the picture?

Simon recently admitted that he and Hussainy are on a break and it seems like the engagement is off, as insiders say Simon couldn’t commit to a wedding and she got sick of waiting around.

Considering that Simon met Mezghan, when she was his makeup artist on American Idol, perhaps Julia will be his next conquest….watch this space!

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly planning to stage a large concert in India next month, before the American Idol live shows kick off in The States.

The singer, actress and Idol judge has joined forces with Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra according to the Mumbai Mirror and will spend only one day in the country.

One insider told the publication:

“She will be here on March 6 and stay at a suburban five-star. Due to her rehearsals, they will ensure her hotel is not too far away from the venue.”

“She will perform some of her biggest hits, including her latest album Love? She will fly out of the country the next day.”

Jennifer was back on US TV screens last night, in the latest of the American Idol audition shows.

She was blown away by some of the talent that appeared before them and one lady who impressed all three judges with her stunning vocal skills was Jessica Phillips. The 26 year old singer revealed that she cares full time for her boyfriend, after he suffered a stroke and we’re not normally one for sob stories, but this couple were just so sweet and she is so naturally talented that she totally blew us away.

J-Lo agreed and you can watch a video of the audition here.

Lembit Opik is supposed to be a politician, we know that most of you won’t be aware of that, given his flings with cheeky girls and his love of reality TV, but that is actually supposed to be his day job.

However, it seems he may have gotten fed up with his serious career, as after losing his seat in parliament for the constituency of Montgomeryshire back in 2010 and then losing the Liberal Democrats’ nomination as Mayor of London in the 2012 election, he has apparently turned his hand to starring in music videos.

The 46 year old – who has previously starred in Celebrity Juice, All Star Mr and Mrs, Loose Women, Bargain Hunt Famous Finds, Stand Up for the Week, Al Murray’s Happy Hour, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Come Dine With Me and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! – has popped up in the world of popular culture again this week and is featured in a music video by the band The Good Suns (no we’d never heard of them either!)

We have to admit we did have a bit of a giggle at the clip below and let’s be honest, who doesn’t like mocking a politician but on a more serious note, Margaret Thatcher never would have behaved so badly! What is the world of politics coming to? Next thing we know, David Cameron will be on The X Factor!

Yesterday, at the afternoon Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London the atmosphere was tense again. No sooner had the first contestants began performing to perform for Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Carmen Electra and David Walliams, than the audience got rowdy and trouble started.

The first victim was, as usual, poor Carmen Electra and the crowd gave her barely any chance to speak. Soon after people took offence to a comment Alesha Dixon made to one act and to round things of people jeered Simon Cowell when he critiqued another. One group screamed that Simon had lost his touch and were angry with him for hiring Carmen. Some in the audience were of the opinion Simon, Carmen and Alesha should go and Amanda Holden return and they made it known….loudly!

Surprisingly out of the firing line was one David Walliams. The judge had won over the hearts of the audience by talking to them and filling the breaks between acts with good humour. He even got up on stage to perform a funny routine of his own. Carmen Electra said of David’s dancing:

“He’s like a taller version of John Travolta. He’s got rhythm!”

Walliams seemed to be enjoying the experience too and last night, he revealed on Twitter that he was even taking his mum along for the evening auditions. She seemed to hit it off with show boss Simon Cowell and David tweeted:

My mum just met Simon Cowell and he told her she had lovely skin!
