Bianca Gascoigne Gets Boob Job

Former Love Island winner, Bianca Gascoigne has decided to treat herself for her 21st birthday and buy herself a new pair of boobs!

When Gascoigne was 19 she had an enlargement which took her from an A cup to a C. Now she plans to move up to a 34DD.

The reality TV star told a pal: “I wasn’t happy with the way they came out after the first op.”

X Factor Bosses Defend Sharon Osbourne

Sharon OsbourneX factor bosses have spoken up to defend one of the shows judges, Sharon Osbourne. Yesterday, Sharon’s brother sold a story to a Sunday newspaper, and revealed that Sharon had tried to sabotage last years series of the show.

However, an X Factor spokeswoman told the Daily Star: “These claims are ridiculous. Sharon has never been sacked from the show and the fact that she’s now back for a fourth series speaks for itself.

“It’s no secret that Ben and Sharon disagreed over song choices but no way did she try to sabotage the show.”

With brothers like that, who needs enemies…eh?

ITV Cancels Summer Reality TV Shows

ITV have decided not only to cancel Love Island (phew!) but they will not be replacing it with another nightly reality show to rival Channel 4’s Big Brother, summer extravaganza.

After the massive slump in ratings during last years Love Island, ITV have decided to stick to drama and entertainment this summer, with the only hint of Reality TV being a weekly show of Britain’s Got Talent.

I imagine the Channel 4 bosses are breathing sigh of relief today, that has got to do the Big Brother ratings some good, and they really need it this year after January’s celebrity based disaster!

Brendan Cole Set For BBC’s Just The Two Of Us 2007

Is there no reality Tv show this man wouldn’t do!

Fresh from his fourth series of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, and his summer holiday on the beach resort of ITV1’s Love Island, Brendan is rumoured to have signed up for BBC’s next reality TV show, ‘Just The Two Of Us’.

Max Clifford was right! Maybe reality TV is the best road to fame!

ITV Cancels Love Island

ITV bosses have announced today that they will not be commissioning a third series of its summer reality show ‘Love Island’.

The announcement came as the network unveiled its winter and spring schedule in London.

Mr Shaps said he had “nothing but admiration” for the production team and the show had been “brilliantly made”.

“But I just don’t think the public appetite… was strong enough for us to bring it back for a third year,” he continued.

I am quite disappointed by this decision as I actually quite enjoyed this years Love Island. However ITV would have got much better ratings if they had not pitched the show as a rival to Channel 4’s Big Brother. Love Island just wasn’t exciting enough and Big Brother is almost a reality TV institution. Maybe they should have aired the show a month earlier, or earlier in the evening. I’m sure that if they experimented in this way they could have attracted a much larger audience.

Love Island: Chris Brosnan Caught Taking Cocaine

Chris Brosnan shocked clubbers earlier this week when he loudly demanded to be told where he could purchase some cocaine and was then seen inhaling it.

A witness told the Sun: “He just did not seem to care. He had been openly asking night clubbers where he could get some ‘sniff’.

“After taking one line in the gents he went to the cash machine in the club to try to get £100. He only got £30 because of insufficient funds.

“He was trying to find out where he could get more cocaine but he wasn’t successful. After he took the drug he became really loud and lively.

“He started dancing with lots of the girls in the club and giving them a cuddle.�

Sophie Anderton Blasts Love Island Producers!

Sophie Anderton has blasted producers of ‘Love Island’ for exaggerating her tantrums on the show.

She moaned to the Sunday Mirror Celebs magazine: “I promise I wasn’t crying as much as they made out. They did a montage of me crying - it was amusing but not nice for my family. It wasn’t just me. Everyone was crying in there.”

Sophie who is currently starring in Cirque De Celebrite on Sky One - insists she has sorted out many of her problems since leaving the island and has never been happier.

She said: “I’m in such a good place right now. I’m probably the calmest and most mellow I’ve been in years. All the time I spent on therapy, for the first time, I feel my real personality is able to come through.”

Love Island: Bianca Gascoigne Is Torn Between Two Lovers

Love Island winner Bianca Gascoigne said she is torn between fellow Love Island contestants Calum Best, 25, and The Streets singer 29-year-old Leo Ihenacho.

She has also described how growing up amid domestic violence at the hands of her stepdad, Paul, has affected her, and how she turned to comfort eating on the island.

Speaking about Calum, she said: “I’ve always fancied him. I couldn’t believe my luck when he turned up on the island. He’s my dream man!

“We went out as friends. We get on well. I have admitted it’s a lust thing with Calum - I won’t deny that.

“I love a bad boy. But I do genuinely think he wants to get rid of that tag. He really wants to find someone to have a proper relationship with.”

However, she also admitted she still has feelings for Leo. She said: “Leo’s got a great sense of humour and a great sense of life and other people. He’s lovely.

“When I left, we were on the phone every day, but this last week we didn’t speak and I didn’t know what was going on. But then he called me yesterday to say he liked some pictures of me he had seen on a magazine. That was nice.

“I love them both.”

However, she says she isn’t in a hurry to get into a new relationship. She said: “I’m happy for now. I’ve been single since February and that’s a big step for me as I’ve always needed a boyfriend. I used to be really needy, but now I’m having fun being single.”

She also spoke about her turbulent relationship with her stepdad Gazza. Describing his violent marriage to her mother, she said: “The things I’ve gone through in life have affected me, and made me the person I am.

“I texted him last week because he phoned my mum. She was upset after the horrible things he’d said in the papers, but he told her he was proud of me, so I texted him to say thanks.

“The man I call ‘dad’ publicly disowned me. I’m just getting on with life.”

Talking to New! magazine about her time on Love Island, she said that the other girls’ comments about her weight had upset her.

She said: “I’ve got weight issues, and the comments brought back memories of me being a chubby child. It also made people on the island focus on my weight, which I didn’t want. But I was comfort eating a lot out there.

“It was a stressful situation and I missed my mum a lot.”

The former fashion buyer also spoke about her hopes for the future since winning Love Island, and has said she would like to move into music.

She said: “I’ve had two offers for presenting work, which is exciting. But I’m also passionate about singing and some music producers have been in touch. Hopefully I will be recording some material soon.

“I’d like to make music like Beyonce’s. I’m very ambitious. I wouldn’t be happy with just a number one single. I’d want a number on album.”

However, she has denied that she would like to follow Calum’s example and move into modelling.

She said: “I did a shoot for a men’s mag recently. I was nervous because of my weight gain, but I liked the end result. I don’t want to be a glamour girl though.”

Love Island Costs ITV Twice More Than Big Brother

It has been revealed today that this summer reality TV show Love Island cost ITV £12 million pounds, twice as much rival show Big Brother.

Hundreds of crew and entourage were flown to the South Pacific, their hotel bills and fees also contributed to the costs. Big Brother’s production team was around 60 people, and was filmed at Elstree in Hertfordshire.

Despite the hiked production costs, the ITV1 show did not bring in the anticipated viewers for the broadcaster.

Over its run, Big Brother attracted an average adult audience of 4.2 million with Love Island only managing 2.14 million viewers.

Bianca Gascoigne almost turned down ‘Love Island’.

Bianca Gascoigne, who was crowned the queen of this summer’s series of the reality TV show, was terrified about going on the programme because she thought she would become a public hate figure.

She explained: “I was sh***ing myself before I went on it in case people hated me or it was edited badly.

“I was worried about people assuming that I would be stuck up because I had a famous dad.”

Bianca, the stepdaughter of football legend Paul Gascoigne, has also revealed she is planning on launching a singing career.

She explained: “I’d love to be a singer. I’ve had producers approaching me but I don’t feel like I’m ready.

“I need to find my own voice and be completely happy with my style first.”

Despite her singing ambitions, Bianca hasn’t quite made up her mind about what direction she wants her career to go in.

She added: “TV presenting also appeals - so watch this space!”
