In the penultimate episode of the series the four remaining designers battle it out to make it into the final three. This week the battle ground has been moved to the busiest and most commercial shopping street in London – Oxford Street – where the designers take up their new residency on the shop floor of Debenhams.

Their challenge is every girl’s dream – to create a themed wedding dress that is both beautiful and not obviously traditional for TV presenter Holly Willoughby and they have just five minutes of one on one time with Holly to ascertain her needs as their new client. Read more & comment »

This week the remaining five designers are presented with a pop star client and a real Royal challenge.

Musician and presenter Myleene Klass sets them a challenge of creating a show stopping red carpet dress for her forthcoming appearance at the Royal Albert Hall.

With such an important challenge ahead of them, the designers are lucky enough to get some inside tips from a successful red carpet dress designer, and designer to Myleene- Kyri, but they are up against the clock to decide on the colour combinations and order the sumptuous silk fabrics to complete their designs.

With the pressure mounting the designers struggle to stay on schedule: Wayne hates his dress, Monika’s drab colour selection causes concern with Ben and it’s no surprise that Luke has set himself a rather challenging task. A last minute request from Myleene causes havoc in the studio when the designers are required to create an extra garment to compliment the dress. Shawla seems to have it all in hand until a couple of hiccups set her back. Read more & comment »

With only six designers left, the pressure is really on and this week the designers are presented with a sexy challenge that not only bares their models but also bares their souls.

Keeping up the tension, the designers are divided into two teams with the commercial challenge of creating a capsule collection for the By Caprice Lingerie Line.

This is one of the hardest challenges that the designers have ever faced as none of them have ever created lingerie before and they are pushed to their absolute limits with both time management and creating a commercial design that is marketable with a new edge. Read more & comment »

In the series finale, Kelly’s adventures are coming to an end and at last she is beginning to embrace Japan’s extraordinary culture.

The show opens with Kelly taking a train out of Tokyo to work as a teacher for a day. Teaching English in a Japanese school is the most common job for young Brits on a gap year and Kelly is determined to see what she can offer the excited and expectant youngsters. In her first class she finds out what the children would like to be when they grow up. Most want to be office workers, but one bright spark bucks the trend by wanting to be a God.

With just seven designers left the heat is really on and this week it’s all about inspiration with a vicious twist.

Ben De Lisi takes the designers out on an inspirational trip in London to reveal their next challenge as they take in the breath taking cityscape views from the London Eye. Their challenge – to create a dress using the inspiration of images they find around them in the city. The designers have just one hour to photograph images that will inspire them and are then told to delete all but one image to work from.

Happy with their final images, the designer busy themselves in finding the right fabrics to complete their designs, but as ever there’s a twist. Read more & comment »

In episode two, a new day dawns in Tokyo and Kelly has had yet another night of disturbed sleep. This time it isn’t the jetlag that has been keeping her up, but the fact that she has been unwittingly drinking laxative tea. But Kelly is in the mood for laughing it off and throws herself into her next challenge – Manga Cosplay.

Manga (cartoon) magazines are huge in Japan. Japanese youngsters like nothing better than to dress up as their favourite character and show off to other lovers of fantasy. Of course, its something Kelly can’t resist.

With the help of a new Japanese friend Mai, Kelly has just 24 hours to pull something spectacular together. They hit the town and buy a manga doll for inspiration, on which Kelly will model her look. A purple wig, several metres of shiny fabric and a hilarious fitting session later, Kelly hits the stage before several hundred other similarly dressed hopefuls.

It’s a great morning out, until a Japanese photographer suggests she strikes a pose that is less than innocent and all her reservations about the role of women resurface. Dejected, Kelly gets out of her costume and heads home. She tries to cheer herself up by doing what any self respecting Japanese youngster would do after a bad day – go and lose herself in Tokyo’s spectacular games arcades, but it only worsens her mood.

It is said that modern Japan is a window to the future and Kelly’s next job is thoroughly 21st century – she will be working in an oxygen bar. Instead of having a couple of beers in a conventional bar, customers can plug into a pure oxygen tank, a setting that looks more like a sci fi movie. The experience is supposed to relax and revitalise and can even help to burn fat. Despite still struggling with the language, Kelly loves working at the oxygen bar and she even puts an oxygen unit on her Christmas wish list. Back home, Kelly continues her mission to learn the language, taking in vital phrases such as “vodka and cranberry, please� and soon she puts all of her new found knowledge into good effect, with a well earned night out.

Kelly and Yumi visit a Host club, a nightspot where hard working Japanese women go to be courted by young Japanese men, who have a strong line in shiny tuxedos and cheesy chat up lines. The men feed Kelly strawberries, pay her compliments and then take the courtship to the next level with a Japanese drinking game, Pit Pat Pong. The climax is a series of baffling, but hilarious impressions of Robert De Niro and Mr Bean. Kelly is won over and hits the surreal dance floor with her new male companions.

The next day Kelly returns to the traditional and spiritual side of her quest, when she leaves Tokyo and heads for the beautiful mountains to become a Buddhist Nun. Midway through a lengthy sermon on impermanence Kelly dissolves into a fit of giggles. She spends the rest of day out of uniform and applying herself to a series of Buddhist tasks.

Back in Tokyo, she takes part in a mass Buddhist and uniquely Japanese event – the Burning Doll festival where people of all ages queue to burn their treasured childhood dolls. It is said to release emotion, be symbolic of life’s transience and bring good luck. Kelly is strangely moved by the whole event and reflects on her mum’s battle with cancer. It seems as if Kelly is finally settling into the country she loves.

ITV2 Thursday 8 February 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM

In this episode the nine remaining designers are asked to create the perfect dress to wear to the races for this week’s guest judge, Lady Isabella Hervey.

For inspiration they head to the Newmarket Races where the designers get their claws into the race day clothes, as well as having a flutter on the horses. Whilst there, they meet jockey Frankie Dettori and his wife Catherine who tells the designers what she looks for in a race day outfit.

Back at the studio mentor Ben De Lisi informs the designers that this week they will be working in teams of three and chooses the head designer for each team. They in turn choose a fabric buyer and an accessory buyer. Much friction follows and the concept of team spirit bolts.

The clock is ticking and by the end of this episode one more designer will have been put out to pasture.

Judging the designs this week is Julien MacDonald, Grazia’s Melanie Rickey and guest judge Lady Isabella Hervey.

Each week the budding designers face elimination based on how they meet the challenges set for them by the panel until only three remain. The three finalists will each showcase full lines on the catwalk and the winning designer’s garments will be photographed for top women’s magazine Grazia and will also receive the seed money to help them launch their own line.

Episode 4 of Project Catwalk Airs At 9pm on Monday 5th February at 9pm SKY ONE

The designers are paired up and have free reign on their creations but unfortunately some find themselves working with rather tricky customers. Even picking their fabrics is no easy task and the stress of having to do menswear hits Tyla hard.

Back at the studio, mentor Ben de Lisi has something to say about the standard of garments being produced. Shawla’s confidence goes rapidly downhill and some partnerships appear not to be a match made in heaven.

The designers get some top tips from the Project Catwalk Hair & Make-Up team and Presenter, Kelly Osbourne drops by with the models – to spare the designers humiliation when they hit the Catwalk – and even gives it a turn herself.

It’s back to work but with a strong-minded bunch of designers, some of them struggle to get their clients to agree to their new look. Minutes before the Catwalk, it all gets heated in Hair & Make-up, Fatz and Monika are at each others throats whilst Tyla is out of her comfort zone in rock-chick leather.

With friendships in tatters and rivals working together, time is up and the designers strut their new head-to-toe looks on the Catwalk- where someone will be given the boot.

Judging the designers new looks are top designer Julien MacDonald, style director of Grazia magazine Paula Reed, guest judge Karen Binns and the lovely Kelly Osbourne.

Kelly Osbourne has revelaed that during her two months of filming for ITV2’s Turning Japanese, she was mistaken for a prostitute on various occasions.

Kelly told Britain’s Daily Sport newspaper: “Because they have small living quarters in Japan they don’t have anywhere to go to have sex, so they rent a room in a ‘love hotel’.

“I worked there as a receptionist, so everyone assumed I was a prostitute, which I found really hard.”

Seems like you didn’t enjoy the experience much Kelly!

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she would never live in Japan as she hates their quiet loos!

Kelly has just spent two months iun the country filming her new ITV2 show ‘Turning Japanese’ and told The Sun:

“In public toilets you don’t have to touch anything. A machine gives loo roll and makes birdie noises so you can’t hear the person next door break wind,”r

“It spoils the fun!” she added.

Kelly Osbourne, who is currently presenting Sky One’s Project Catwalk, says there’s no way she’ll get sucked into dieting – especially after watching her mum Sharon battle with her weight.

‘Seeing her go through her experiences has made me realise I don’t ever want the same thing to happen to me,’ she told The Sun. ‘I don’t even diet. I just believe in eating healthily.

‘I will always be a little bit fat and I don’t care.’

Kelly has also formulated her own theory on how some girls become a perfect size zero.

‘They stick their fingers down their throats or take speed all day,’ she says. ‘It’s very odd to me that people want to look like they’ve just come out of a concentration camp. It’s really sad.’

ITV2 presents this exciting new series with the infamous Kelly Osbourne. Over three hour-long episodes, viewers will see Kelly discover the bizarre and unknown society of Japan by taking the ultimate working holiday. Throwing herself into a wide range of jobs and after-work activities, Kelly struggles with the language barrier and homesickness. It’s a rollercoaster ride as Kelly is unleashed amongst the politest society on earth! Kelly Osbourne Turning Japanese is brand new and exclusive to ITV2, Thursdays from 1 February at 9pm.

Japan and its culture have been an obsession for Kelly from a very young age and in this series she plunges into the most bizarre, unusual and culturally alien activities. Kelly uncovers the unknown stories of Japanese society and experiences both the old and the new in one of the world’s most traditionally closed nations. Kelly uncovers strange and compelling regimes and turns Japanese in mind, body and soul.

In this series Kelly is not simply observing Japanese life and culture – she’s living it at the deep end! She undertakes big, exciting and potentially life-changing challenges, inspired by ancient Japanese culture as well as modern day Japan. Kelly is the first to admit her life has been one of privilege, freedom and ballsy self-conviction but does Turning Japanese make her reassess her life and help her to find inner peace and calm?

In episode one, Kelly meets her Japanese companion Yumi who proves to be an invaluable help throughout her stay. Settling into her chic downtown apartment on her first night, Kelly has a comical time getting to grips with Japan’s automated toilets. The next morning Kelly is ready to begin her new adventure. She battles with the highly confusing Tokyo subway while making her way to her first job as a waitress in a ‘geek’ café. Once she has been let loose amongst the geeks, Kelly spills the coffee she is serving and can barely suppress fits of laughter. When asked if she has ever been a waitress before she retorts: “I’m a spoilt brat who was brought up in Buckinghamshire and Beverley Hills. Do I look like I’ve ever been a waitress?�

Kelly’s next post is as a receptionist at one of Japan’s busiest ‘Love Hotels’. In these palaces of passion, couples can live out their fantasies away from the prying eyes of parents and neighbours. Kelly is soon caught up in the mayhem of checking couples in and out of the hotel, cleaning rooms and keeping red hot lovers fuelled with sex toys, beer and…pot noodles! The episode closes with Kelly attending a Samurai class with Grand master Mr Weno. Will Kelly impress her Grand master enough to take part in a highly respected public performance, where even a foot out of place is an insult?

This show airs on ITV2 Thursday 1 February 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Kelly Osbourne has just flown out to the jungle as new host of ITV2’s ‘I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here….NOW’.

Kelly was hoping to live it up in the jungle and fit as much partying into her time there as is humanly possible.

She said: “I’m gonna be in Australia for a month, so I wanna party.”

However, bosses have grounded the 22-year-old star because they are concerned any drinking and late nights will have a negative effect on her work.

A source said: “Kelly is going to get a shock if she thinks it will be a party every night. It isn’t a holiday. Kelly will find out soon that she’d better start getting some early nights in or she will fall flat on her face in front of the cameras.”

The much in demand Kelly Osbourne will report live from the jungle every night on ITV2’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here…NOW. The daughter of hell-raiser Ozzy and X Factor judge Sharon is really excited at the prospect of entering the rainforest.

“There’s nothing I’m not looking forward to, it’s a new experience for me. I get to go to the Australian jungle for a month and I get to do it without actually having to do the Bushtucker Trials. I’ve got the easy, best part on the show!�

When pressed on who she would choose to go into the jungle this year, WAGs were top of Kelly’s list.

“They sit there with their perfect hair and their Christian Louboutin shoes and I wonder if they could really rough it, really tough it. I think they should do I’m a WAG, Get Me Out of Here. It would be amazing to see Posh Spice do the show. When people get to a certain level of fame they almost become untouchable because they are so famous and people forget that person really is human.�

Kelly has admiration for the celebrities who take part but doesn’t think she could ever bring herself to carry out a Bushtucker Trial.

“It amazes me that these people actually eat the things they do and stick their heads in buckets with bugs, things I could never do! I have the greatest respect for those who manage it.�

Kelly’s favourite moment from past I’m a Celebrity’s was watching Jordan crunch her way through a batch of fish eyes.

“It made me dry heave when Jordan put a fish eye in her mouth and it popped – it was just so gross. Also, seeing her going up on that ladder with all the snakes underneath. I don’t know how she did it – that girl has got balls.â€?

Kelly became a fan of the show when Johnny Rotten rocked up to cause chaos in the jungle in 2004.

“The reason I started watching was because of him, he’s such a character. I wanted to see how he dealt with a bunch of prima donnas but he turned out to be one as well!�

Unlike her jungle hero Johnny, Kelly is scared stiff of creepy crawlies.

“I hate spiders and I hate bugs so it’s going to be very hard for me. My mum has bought me this gadget in the shape of a tennis racket which is electrical. You press a button and it zaps bugs so I’ll be using that a lot! I really fear spiders though. If you see a snake you can run away from it but with spiders I don’t know what it is, if there’s one in front of me I literally freeze. I can’t move and I’m just so terrified.�

With spiders on her mind, Kelly ponders what she has got herself into: “Doesn’t Australia have bird eating spiders….?�

Former jungle bunny Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has been dumped from ITVs I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – in favour of Kelly Osbourne.

Tara has presented ITV2’s extra footage and gossip from the reality show for the past three years. But programme producers have decided to let go of Tara and her co-host Matt Brown.

Instead of having the show live from Australia, it will come from a London studio with comic Brendon Burns speaking to friends and families of the celebrity contestants.

Meanwhile, Kelly Osbourne will report live from the jungle with the latest gossip and news.

A source close to Tara told the Daily Star: “She will be gutted not to be involved anymore.”

“She loves the show and was a livewire that helped to make it so unpredictable and fun.”

“It will be interesting to see how Kelly copes with the pressure of working on the show.”

An ITV2 spokesman said: “The format of the show is evolving all the time. It has been revamped and revolutionised for this series.”

“We have brought in two new presenters as a result of that.”
