Francine Lewis is one of the acts set to shine on tomorrow night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent.
The 35 year old impressionist took to the stage to perform for David Walliams, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon earlier this year and by all reports she was a huge hit with the panel. After watching the video below we can see why.
Stacey Solomon has admitted that she didn’t expect James Arthur to win the X Factor last year.
The mum of two is of course a former contestant of the ITV show and avidly tunes in to watch every episode when it airs each autumn.
She admitted in a new interview that she thought Jahmene Douglas would take the crown when he went head to head with James on the grand finale in 2012 and told Star magazine:
ITV bosses reportedly want to bring together all the previous I’m A Celebrity winners to star in a special winners series, according to the Sun newspaper.
According to the publication, bosses of the hugely popular ITV reality show want to bring on board the likes of Phil Tufnell, Kerry Katona, Gino D’Acampo, Stacey Solomon and Dougie Poynter — as well as 2012 champion Charlie Brooks, for this all-star edition of the jungle survival show hosted by Geordie national treasures, Ant & Dec.

As fans of this year’s I’m A Celebrity will know, poor Helen Flanagan has been voted to do every Bushtucker trial – except for the very first one, which David Haye and Hugo Taylor did – so far…
In her first, Bug Burial, she lasted only a matter of seconds before shouting “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!” and in her second trial – against Nadine Dorries yet again – Rotten Rhymes, though she ate a few of the horrible items on the menu, she didn’t win meals for camp.
However, she was so overjoyed with herself for having at least tried to win, her defeat was actually the least of her concerns, and I don’t know about you, but I felt the same! The poor kid’s being put through the wringer by meanies voting for her to undergo these daily ordeals, and I shared her joy at having done her best… Read more & comment »
Fans of former I’m A Celebrity winner – and of course former X Factor finalist – Stacey Solomon has revealed that she can’t wait for her wedding to fiancé Aaron Barnham later this year, but she admits that she’s somewhat daunted by the organization the event requires.
Speaking to the Express, Stacey – who has a five month old son with Aaron – said, “I so badly want to get married…
“Ideally it’ll happen next year [but] organising it is tougher than I thought.
“I thought I’d just need a venue, people and a dress…
“But then there’s bridesmaids, invitations, everything. I need to sit down and find a friend who can help me and really get started.”
As to what part Aaron’s playing in organizing the big day, Stacey said, “I just need to tell him where and when and get him a suit and he’ll be there…” Read more & comment »
It’s hard to believe that just three months ago, Stacey Solomon was pregnant and 2st heavier.
After having son Leighton on 5 May – her first child with her painter fiancé, Aaron Barham, 23 – 5ft 7 Stacey is already back to her pre-pregnancy weight of 9st and a size 8-10.
And despite a “serious ice cream addiction,” the star – who’s also mum to Zach, four, from a previous relationship – says second time around it was much easier to lose her baby weight, and it’s all thanks to a secret ingredient.
Former X Factor finalist Stacey Solomon – who of course won the 2010 series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – is going to become the star of her own sitcom in a show that’s been described as being similar in concept to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Written by Rob Colley and Dan Gaster, and produced by Princess Productions – who make T4 and who were the team behind Sky1’s Must Be The Music – the show will apparently follow Stacey’s day to day life with added drama.
Stacey will of course play herself, while impressionists Phil Cornwell and Ronni Ancona are set to play the roles of her parents.
TV Biz quotes a TV insider as saying, “There’s a lot of excitement about this project… Read more & comment »
