im Kardashian has been caught in a desperate tug-oflove between her mum and her sick husband – with the star under immense pressure to prioritise filming on the family’s reality show despite his delicate mental state. Kim is obviously putting husband Kanye West first following his shock breakdown, which saw him admitted to UCLA hospital last month. Although the 39-year-old rapper is now back at home, a US source says he’ll need “ongoing psychological and medical treatment” – and Kim, 36, hasn’t left his side. But despite his fragile condition, it’s said momager Kris Jenner is already pushing Kim to resume filming and make a return to her public life. “Kris has been seriously pressuring Kim to go back out in public,” an insider says. “Kris is relentless. She thinks that Kim will be better off if she gets back to her regular life. She wants her to resume her responsibilities.” The 61-year-old is thought to be particularly keen to document

air shaking? Saucy moves? Some very tight fitness wear? It can only be Little Mix’s new dance routine – and last week Star met the girls to learn how to shake it to their track Hair. OK, maybe we can’t quite move like Perrie Edwards (yet), but we did get to sit down with the girls afterwards to grill them on all things love, life and wild partying – plus they showed us their new collection for USA Pro. Perrie, 23, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 25, Jade Thirlwall, 23, and Jesy Nelson, 25, were on top form considering their hectic schedule and the latter’s recent heartbreak. Jesy is thought to have split up with her Rixton frontman fiancé Jake Roche, 24, and we notice she’s not wearing her engagement ring. But, as Perrie points out, “When we’re going through shit, we have each others’ backs...”

more exercise, these two are the ice cream. Perrie: Actually… yeah [Laughs]. Jade: Don’t you think whenever we end a relationship we all get quite hot bodies? I mean, if I do say so myself. We always have a post break-up glow going on. P: Everyone loves a break-up diet! What are the best and worst things about being in Little Mix? Leigh Anne: The worst is definitely the early mornings. P: The best is that we’re together. We’re experiencing everything for the first time together and we laugh like mental cases every day. When we’re going through shit, we have each others’ backs. L: Imagine doing it on your own… Is it difficult not being able to see your family? JT: It’s really hard, especially as mine and Perrie’s family live up north so we never get to see them. Next year, we’re touring the world all year. Christmas is the one time we all get to be with our families. Do you live together? All: We used to. JN: Then me and Leigh-Anne got

evicted for being naughty. P: Me and Jade lived in Notting Hill. Little did we know the rent would be so much. JT: It was £3,000 a month! We didn’t know anything about money. L: We threw bin bags around when we were drunk. We’d leave them in the hallway because we couldn’t be bothered to go down to the chute. JN: Basically, we were tramps. How long did you last before getting thrown out? JN: It wasn’t too long, was it? Six months. L: The tenancy was up and they kicked us out. Who’s your inspiration? JN: Our mums. P: They’re very strong, independent women. JN: Fitness wise, it’s got to be Beyoncé. I don’t understand how

Leigh-Anne doesn’t like the early mornings

someone can be that perfect. You’ve come under fire recently for the way you dress and for getting drunk. Do you feel pressure to be role models? JN: We didn’t ask for it, so if people want to look up to us that’s amazing, but we were never like, “Right, we’re going to be role models and we want people to follow us.” We wear whatever we want and all that matters is that we feel comfortable in it. We don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks. P: Preach!

Jade loved designing the sportswear range

JT: We get scrutinised 24/7 and d you become immune to it. If people are talking about you, you’re obviously doing something right. We know more than anyone what our shapes are and what suits us, so it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about that. What do you like about each others’ bodies? JN: The thing about Perrie is she can eat what she wants and not put on any weight. She’s not even a skinny girl, but she’s got the most perfect figure ever! P: Oh my God, stop… JN: It’s not fair – she doesn’t even go to the gym! P: Leigh-Anne’s body is just unnecessary. She’s got a bum that’s like, “Whoosh!” L: Jade’s got a lovely back. P: Jesy’s boobs are wonderful! What are your guilty food pleasures? JN: Domino’s pizza. P: Mine is curry. I could eat curry for breakfast.

The others say Perrie’s figure is perfect

L: Nachos and melted cheese. JT: Any carbs. Just throw it at us. I’ve discovered a Toby Carvery next to me. I’m there all the time. P: Chocolate and crisps. Crisps and dip. If you weren’t famous for a day, what would you do? JN: We’d go to festivals, get in with the crowd, get drunk and just be a bit reckless. P: We do that anyway. Oh, you mean not have to worry about getting caught out looking like we did the other night [laughs]. You’ve always got to be aware that somebody might have a cheeky camera. What is a night out with Little Mix like? JN: It is mental. L: It’s messy! JN: We get so drunk, it’s so much fun. We’re nutters as it is without alcohol, so as soon as you get a bit of a drink down us, we think we’re Beyoncé. Doesn’t everyone?

Who is the biggest party animal? JT: Perrie and Jesy. P: We never used to be like that, though. JN: We were caged! L: I’ve always been a bit of a party animal. P: Leigh-Anne is the type of girl who will be at work from 4am and she’ll be like, “I might go out tonight.” We all love a party, don’t we? You’ve got to work hard and play hard. Where do you see yourselves in five years? L & JN: Hopefully still together! L: We always say we don’t ever want to split up. JN: We just want to be the biggest girl band in the world – that’s our dream. Can you see world domination on the horizon? JN: I think so. We’re the most determined we’ve ever been. It’s weird, the longer we’re together

the closer we are. We just can’t get enough of each other. L: We really see it as well. If one of us is going through something, the others will just completely have our backs. JN: We’re very loyal to each other. How did you start working with USA Pro? JT: We’ve always been into fitness, then USA Pro approached us about doing a range. It was a no-brainer, because we thought the market was missing clothes that are comfortable, affordable and fashionable. It’s really cool designing your own range and making sure there are clothes that suit everyone, no matter what shape or size. n GeMMA McCArTNey Little Mix’s USA Pro collection is available at usapro.co.uk and sportsdirect.com

He was also asking women if they liked a bad boy and jokingly asked one girl to FaceTime him later that night.” Jeremy was spotted leaving the bash with Big Brother winner Helen Wood, but – ever the ladies’ man – he was later spotted hand-inhand with another mystery girl. Our source adds, “He was all over the girl inside the bar, kissing her face. She seemed to like him.” Meanwhile, Steph had a very different sort of evening. The former Hollyoaks actress fired up Instagram to show fans she was enjoying a cosy night in with friends ahead of her due date next month. Posing on an exercise ball as she tucked into a bar of chocolate, the 23-year-old wrote, “When your bestie is the best and brings you round a bag full of your favourite cravings when pregnant! “He is the best @jayroberts94 he’s made me laugh a lot tonight, I’ve nearly fell of my ball twice.” The actress has said Jez hasn’t made any contact with her during her pregnancy.

rankie Bridge was mortified when her husband Wayne revealed on TV that their sex life has flagged since they had children. The former footballer moaned to his fellow I’m A Celebrity campmates after being posed the question, “What percentage of parents have better sex after kids?” He complained that he doesn’t “get as much” now. And was shocked when it was revealed 57 per cent of people claimed their love life was better after having children. “Well, for me it ain’t!” the 36-year-old grumbled. “It’s either the same or less. I’m not having it at all. Why would it get better?!” He has sons Parker, three, and 16-month-old Carter with the Saturdays singer, as well as ten-year-old Jaydon from his previous relationship with Vanessa Perroncel. Back home in the UK, an embarrassed Frankie tweeted in reply, “Ohhhhhhh @WayneBridge just stop talking.... I’m begging you!!!!” adding, “#sorrymum&dad.” But Wayne didn’t quit with his awkward revelations, going on to say that he and Frankie had “tried everything out” before they became parents and described their fun between the sheets before the kids came along as being “up there”. Frankie, 27, later explained, “I was literally willing him to just be quiet. I was sat with my mum and I was like, ‘Please just stop!’” But while Frankie wasn’t pleased, Wayne received support from an unlikely source – tennis coach Judy Murray, who tweeted, “Don’t be a spoilsport Frankie. Go Wayne. It’s good to share.” However, while Frankie may have been fuming, Wayne won over an army of fans for his laid-back good humour – and for not taking the chance to have a pop at his former Chelsea and England teammate John Terry, 35, whose alleged affair with his ex Vanessa ended their relationship. When asked about which footballers he doesn’t like, he shrugged and said, “Footballers aren’t all dicks. There are a couple of people I might not have liked, but you don’t get on with everyone.” Fans were quick to praise him, with one tweeting, “Watching how much of a good guy Wayne Bridge is on I’m A Celeb makes me hate John Terry even more.” Another added, “Watching I’m A Celeb and Wayne Bridge is asked who he got W on with while playing. We all know o who he couldn’t trust.” w Even his campmates couldn’t sstop heaping on the praise, describing him as “genuine”, d ““kind hearted” and “funny”.

ast week Peter Andre confessed that he suffers from overwhelming anxiety, which often makes him too nervous to leave the house. He admitted, “I tend to hide away.” Following the revelation that fellow singer Robbie Williams struggles with social anxiety, so severe it causes his skin to “break out”, Peter, who has just become a dad for the fourth time, revealed he has the same problem. The 43-year-old tweeted, “Watching Loose Women and the topic is ‘is social anxiety making you dread the party season?’ I never thought I would admit it but like @robbie williams I too suffer the same thing.” He added, “I guess I tend to hide away sometimes and cancel social things. I don’t mean to. Random but I thought I’d tell you all.” His message sparked a flurry of support from fans, with one writing, “You are so brave. Thank you for stepping out.” Another added, “You would never have guessed it but it just goes to show! Thank you for sharing that with us @MrPeterAndre #hero.” Pete’s revelation came after Robbie’s wife Ayda Field, a panellist on Loose Women, admitted that her husband had been suffering anxiety. “It gets difficult for him when he goes out and people expect him to be charismatic and cheeky and show the tiger pants,” she explained. “That’s not always there in the tank. He’s quite shy. “He’ll say yes to dinner plans with friends, then the day comes and he’s like, ‘I don’t want to do it.’ He panics and his skin breaks out.” Peter has previously spoken out about coping with his fear at the height of his

Peter Andre and Danny Mac spoke out about their anxiety issues last week. I can’t believe so many people suffer with it. I’ve had anxiety for a long time and nothing has helped it go away. It’s good that it’s talked about openly now. No one should feel ashamed to say they’re having troubles.

Did you have fun filming the Christmas special? Yes! A lot of unexpected things happen – friendship and relationship problems – but I’m actually laid back and chilled. Have things developed with Ben? You’ll have to wait and see… Is it true you hooked up with Luke? I can’t comment on Luke – but he’s hot! Do you blame TOWIE for ruining things with Jake? I’m not going to bad-mouth the show, but when I started I was in a relationship and I was quite strong. It’s horrendous having to film with an ex. You don’t see them for two weeks, then you have to sit with them. You wouldn’t do that in real life. Do you regret putting your life on TV? No, it’s a really great team.

rince Harry is usually the one who has fans swooning, but it was the other way around when he hung out with Rihanna last week. The 32-year-old royal visited the singer’s native Barbados during an event to mark 50 years of the island’s independence – and he couldn’t stop grinning in her presence!

The prince, who was decked out in his medals, appeared star-struck when greeting 28-year-old RiRi, politely telling her, “It’s very nice to meet you.” He was later getting along so well with the singer that they couldn’t stop giggling together as the crowd chanted their names at a concert. We hope Meghan Markle isn’t the jealous type, Hazza!

Winner of The X Factor 2012, James Arthur, hasn’t had the easiest ride in showbiz since he was thrust into the limelight, so it’s no surprise he’s against online dating in case he gets rumbled – or killed! “I can’t go on Tinder, I’ll get in trouble,” the 28-yearold admitted. “I’m afraid women could fool me on there – some of them would be press or something. Or that there would be women who want to kill me!” There’s always Celebs Go Dating, James…

James ‘no Tinder, please, I’m famous!’

Mel begs ‘Hunt down this scum!’ After someone broke into her car outside her LA home, Mel B reminded everyone why she’s Scary Spice. The 41-year-old, who was away filming Aussie X Factor at the time, shared footage of the culprit on Twitter, vowing to hunt him down. “I have a $5,000 reward to anyone who knows this asshole,” she tweeted. “I don’t care who was involved I want this guy caught... we are going to track you down.” Don’t mess with Mel!

TOWIE ’s Michael Hassini has revealed that he’s had a hair transplant after being mocked for his receding hairline.

Taking to Twitter after the surgery, a groggy Mike wrote, “In need of some TLC.” In a past barney on the show, Mike’s co-star Lewis Bloor, 27, ridiculed his receding locks, saying, “Mate, you’re 20 years old. The only thing past it is your hairline. You need a transplant. “You look like McDonald’s arches. I don’t know whether to have a row or order a Big M Mac.” Ouch!

atasha Hamilton was forced to defend her whirlwind engagement last week, after trolls branded the Atomic Kitten star “embarrassing” and “desperate”. The 34-year-old shared the news that her boyfriend, Charles Gay, popped the question after just eight months together during a romantic getaway to New York. She wrote on Instagram, “Little did I know he was planning something very special… he proposed and I said yes! “I’ve had such an emotional rollercoaster few days @charlesgay I’ll be stuck on cloud 9 for a long time. This is just the beginning of our beautiful life together. I can’t wait to see what adventures lie ahead. I love u.” But instead of congratulations, the singer was flooded with criticism from people lambasting the fact it’s her fourth engagement – after having four kids by four men – and because she only split from her ex fiancé Ritchie Neville, with whom she shares two-year-old daughter Ella, in March. Responding to one troll, she wrote, “To love is a blessing. I’ve committed no crimes. I would pass my strengths on instead of pulling others down. Unfortunately when people can’t comprehend the realms that happen beyond their own head, they judge.” Natasha, who is also mum to Josh, 14, Harry, 11, and six-year-old Alfie, insisted she won’t allow her previous relationships to determine her future. “I refuse to let my past or others’ comments dictate my future or feel bad that I have found happiness and a person who accepts me for who I am.”

I quite like reading the articles.” An onlooker at the party, which Olivia apparently didn’t leave until after 10am the next morning, says, “She brazenly sat there doing drugs in front of a roomful of people. She comes across as a bit of a goody-twoshoes, so I couldn’t believe it. I’d have thought she’d be more careful. She’ll regret it if she’s booted off the show.” The 21-year-old photographer, who’s famed for her nude portraits, has yet to comment on the incident, but her future on Made In Chelsea hangs in the balance while bosses

‘Be more responsiBle’ The super-slim stars are blasted for promoting unrealistic ‘Barbie’ bodies

Photos: instagram.binkyfelstead; instagram/toffgeorgia; instagram/lucywatsonofficial; instagram/tiffanycwatson

ans have hit out at Made In Chelsea girls Binky Felstead, Georgia “Toff” Toffolo, Frankie Gaff and Tiff and Lucy Watson for sharing super-skinny – and possibly Photoshopped – images on social media. Binky, 26, was labelled “way too thin” as she posed in a tiny playsuit. But a slight curve in the wall behind her sparked accusations the slim star had altered the image to make her appear even thinner. Eagle-eyed followers were quick to comment, with one writing, “I used to admire your figure, you had beautiful curves… Why on earth would you want to be that skinny?” Another added, “Put a little weight on, please, darling.” A third wrote, “Please pop some weight on. Apart from your health, it’s a terrible advert for young women that this is a healthy look.” Therapist Harriet Frew, who specialises in body image and eating disorders, tells Star, “I imagine some manipulation of the image has taken place, so I wonder how realistic it is. We forget what real bodies look like when constantly bombarded with these ‘perfect’ images. “Unfortunately, this has almost become a norm and I wonder how much individuals think about the influence of their posting.” But Binky isn’t alone – other Chelsea girls have been in the firing line for showcasing unrealistic body goals. Former MIC star

Toff’s jutting Lucy, 25, flaunted her collarbones washboard stomach in a gym selfie captioned, “Back at it.” One young fan commented, “This made me sad. She looks amazing, like, I feel good for her but sad for me and my rolls.” Another added, “I want this to be me.” And her younger sister Tiffany, 23, was blasted for flashing her butt. “Take your knickers out your bum and get a Job,” one angry follower wrote. Another added, “Really, do you need to post it on here? It’s so sad that so many women these days do the same. Desperate for validation.” Castmate Toff, 22, shocked followers with a snap that showed her jutting ribs and collarbone. One fan posted, “Omg u r so skinny.” And fans were quick to pick up on co-star Frankie Gaff looking noticeably slimmer than she appears on the show. Underneath a snap of the 22-year-old in a sequinned minidress, an Instagram user commented, “Far too skinny!!!” Another begged her, “Please eat something.” A spokesperson for the eating disorder charity Beat tells Star, “We encourage everyone in the media to take painfully thin a responsible Frankie attitude towards discussing weight and shape. young people if no one felt bullied “We know the or under extra pressure just difference it would because of how they look.” n make to vulnerable GeorGia TreviTT Tiff flaunts her bum

Welcome to A-Mary-ca

Mary goes to Hollywood (not Paul) t

Words: Jamie doWnham. photos: Getty imaGes; instaGram/letthelordbeWithyou; VantaGe neWs

hese are uncertain times for the USA – so to help out, we’ve sent Mary Berry over with a vat of tea, a suitcase full of doilies and an insatiable hunger for delicate cakes. The 81-year-old sponge-guzzler was last week revealed as one of the judges on The Great American Baking Show – yet another remake of our own Bake-Off. (The first

Rocco’s modern strife

remake was cancelled after Paul Hollywood cheated on his wife with his younger co-judge. Oh, Paul.) So the good news is that even though Mary has quit the UK Bake Off – which is now hurtling towards Channel 4 – fans can see her judging an eight-part cake show this very month. There’s just one bit of bad news on that front – you’ll have to move to America to watch it…

M d Madonna’s ’ wild-child ild hild son has said he’s “glad” he doesn’t live with her. Rocco made the epic dig at his 58-yearold mum when she posted a video doing the getting-quite-tedious-now Mannequin Challenge at home in the US, in which she froze with food dangling from her mouth. “So glad I don’t live there any more,” said the 16-year-old, who stays with his dad Guy Ritchie in London. When a fan asked why he was being a dick, he replied with laughing emojis. Aren’t teens lovely? 28

LiLo pays her ex’s rent

L d Lohan Lindsay L h has h settled l d her h ex-fiancé’s missing rent and moved out of the London flat that was once the scene of their furious rows. She and Egor Tarabasov had agreed to split the £3,000-a-week rent, but as the tenancy was in her name, lawyers hit Linds with a demand for £77,600 and said they’d petition for her bankruptcy if she didn’t pay up. Since one bust-up there led to the police kicking the front door in, she’ll probably be glad to see the back of the place. The 30-year-old has now moved into nearby Blakes hotel, which costs £400 a night. Thrifty!

Justin Bieber is a right grumpy young man these days. Not content with slating his fans for making noise at his gigs (quit that bloody racket, guys), he’s now denounced photo app Instagram as “the devil”. Sounding for all the world like an Old Testament preacher in low-slung pants, the 22-yearold raged, “Instagram is for the devil. I think Hell is Instagram. I’m, like, 90 per cent sure.” Biebs quit Insta – which we are 90 per cent sure isn’t hell – in August after his ex Selena Gomez called him out on the site for moaning about fans, saying, “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend.” What next, JB? Moaning that Wagon Wheels were bigger in the old days?

Leonardo DiCaprio smiled and announced, “I am a douchebag” at a dinner party. Comic Kathy Griffin – who, tbh, sounds sensationally annoying – was trying to get the 42-yearold actor’s attention at a fancy bash by yelling, “Don’t be a douchebag, Leo. Get off your f**king phone and say hi.” He ignored that. So, as the 56-year-old explains, “I said again, ‘Jesus, Leo, don’t be such a douchebag.’ He walked away and with an adorable smile said, ‘I am a douchebag.’” The moral of the story? If you want to talk to Leo, don’t yell “douchebag” at him. Being a blonde, 20-something model wouldn’t hurt, either...

Leo ‘I’m a douchebag’

Rob’s booty call

The things that have been written about the Kardashian girls’ colossal bums could fill an aircraft hangar (or a pair of Kim’s knickers). But there’s one bootilicious member of the family who’s been cruelly overlooked for too long… Rob!

Biebs ‘Insta is the devil!’

I like big butts and I cannot lie

Last week, Scott Disick, 33, poked fun at his old pal, posting these pics of the 29-year-old with the caption, “My baby got back.” Yep, there it is – the old family trademark tush – and, what’s more, Rob’s is all real!

US GOSSIP! US GOSSIP! US GOSSIP! US GOSSIP! US GOSSIP! USS GOSSIP! l Amber Heard is being sued for $10 million by the producers of box office bomb London Fields.

Spartacus last week, with the rap legend announcing, “This morning I lost my best friend.” The grandly-named pooch died after knee surgery went wrong. l Amber Rose went on to Instagram last week – to announce

she was quitting it! “I am taking the rest of the year off of social media,” she announced, without bothering to say why. l Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz and Kate Winslet are among the stars who stripped off (tastefully, mind) for this year’s starstudded Pirelli calendar.

Hi Star readers!

I’ been filming a top secret I’ve TV project this week – I’m so excited! I’m working in Newcastle, so I haven’t been able to see Lewis as much as I’d like becau se he’s at our flat in London. I’ve only spe nt two nights there since we moved in! It was Lewis’s birthday last week, so we went to Winter Wonderland and got drunk on mulled wine. It was really special.

Binks r b oke the girl code

I used op st I ught out so I kept getting ca IC girls like Binky ,M But saying that code eaking the girl br e ar d Felstea s ap sn skinny by posting such akes other e it m online, becaus eight. girls feel overw Stop it!

Work comes first

Lewis said he’d love it if I didn’t have to go back in Geordie Shore, but he’s really supportive and would only want me to leave if my health suffered. I wouldn’t quit the show for a relationship again. Also, it’s true that Lewis unfollowed me on Twitter, but he did it by mistake. I don’t know how people even saw it – everyone else noticed before we did!

Sort it out, Jez S

It so disrespectful of Jeremy It’s McConnell to be pictured with M other girls just before his o ex Stephanie davis is due to e give birth. No one is stopping g him going out but he should at h least be a bit more sensitive to le her feelings. I like Steph and h I hope that Jez steps up to tthe mark. If not, she’ll be a ffabulous mum on her own. photos: Getty ImaGes; Goffphotos.com; InstaGram/marnIesImpson; Wenn

Suck it up, Liam

The pictures of Cheryl’s bump are amazing! It made me really excited. She and Liam are an amazing couple and I’m so happy for them. But I don’t get why Liam lashed out at a pap. He chose to be b in i the th public eye and that comes with the job. I’ve had paps follow me on motorbikes before. It’s scary, but it’s what you sign up for.

Kashing in on Kanye

I’m not surprised the Kardashians are still filming their reality show, even though Kanye is so unwell. They will use any situation to their advantage. The ffamily is a multimillion-pound ound business and the show must go on. All publicity is good publicity and A when the episodes air explaining w why Kayne is in hospital, I bet w ratings will go through the roof.

Honey G for PM

I love Honey G. She brought the fun to The X Factor and I won’t bother watching the final now she’s not in it any more. She should bring out an album, run for prime minister and go on Strictly next year. Imagine her doing all of her gangsta dance moves each week. It would be immense to watch!

Bobby ‘I’m going to meet Mr Right next year’

Foxy Bingo’s speed dating event, piste Bar, London Monday 28 noveMBer When we headed down to Foxy’s Love Lodge to speed-date ten celebrities over champagne, we grilled them on all things love and romance. We sat down with TOWIE favourite Bobby norris, who told us, “I don’t want to actively be on the look-out for love. I’d rather be on my own than with the wrong man.” He added, “Hopefully I’m going to meet the right man in 2017 – I have good vibes!” Despite it being a speed-dating event, Love Island’s scott thomas and Kady Mcdermott could barely keep their hands off each other. But Scott confessed he’s not ready for more commitment just yet. “There’s no chance I’m ready to have kids,” he said. “I want to be a millionaire before I settle down.” And they weren’t the only loved-up pair at the bash. When we sat down to chat with Lillie Lexie gregg, she revealed, “I have a boyfriend who I’ve been with for three months. It’s the first time I feel settled. He’s completely different to Gaz Beadle and Stephen Bear.” Other celebs at the event included former MIC star Hugo taylor, Blue singer antony Costa, TOWIE’s Chloe Lewis and James ‘diags’ Bennewith, and Big Brother stars Helen Wood and Jeremy McConnell.

It’s just weird.” She also revealed that she’s moved on. “I’m dating but I don’t want to talk about him just yet!” she told us.

The hours are a bastard, but it was really good. We had to get up at 1am, work through the night, finish at 11am and go to bed at 5pm. How did you get on with Vicky Pattison? We’ve been living in each other’s pockets on this show, but we get on great. She’s very funny and confident. Whenever we did the same kind of joke at the same time we did a little high five. Did you meet her boyfriend, John Noble? Yeah, he’s a lovely lad. A bloody lovely Geordie lad. What are Stacey and Joe like? Fantastic. They’ve used their relationship to comedy effect, which is good. They’ve got the balance spot on. What about Ant and Dec? If I’d met them and they weren’t as nice as I thought they would be, my world would crumble. But they’re absolutely awesome. They’re exactly the way you’d want them to be – the nicest, funniest lads and so professional. Did you see your wife, Rosie, and your son? They came out with me! My son took his first steps in Australia. How is fatherhood? I didn’t want it to own me. Some people make it their whole lives. I wanted Robin

Rosie and Robin went to Australia with Chris

to enrich my life, not take it over. I do find myself showing people photos of him, though. They didn’t ask to see this photo, but f**k them! Does Robin understand you being on TV at all? He’s more interested in Fireman Sam and Postman Pat at the minute. I might put myself on telly and see if he looks at it and then looks at me. Would you ever go into the jungle as a contestant? Not a chance. They’re maniacs. I ate a nipple and a bollock the other week and it was the worst. F**k that! If I went in there, I’d have the hungriest campmates in the universe. I’d be voted off straight away. Are you excited about hosting Virtually Famous? I am. It’s up there with one of my favourite panel shows to do. And you get to work with Vicky and Scarlett Moffatt again… Yeah! Scarlett is really funny. You can either agree with her and go, “You’ve got a point.” Or you can just have fun with the craziness that’s coming out of her mouth. Either way, she’s good value! n ROBYN MORRIS Virtually Famous starts on 20 December at 10pm on E4

‘This is your last chance, nce, Scott!’ The couple give their relationship another try after romantic holiday

heir on-off relationship appeared to be over for good when Kourtney Kardashian kicked out Scott Disick last summer. But 17 months on, they’ve put their differences aside and have rekindled their romance. The couple, who remained close for their kids, got back together after Scott, 33, finally “mellowed out” and proved he was ready to be a proper father to Mason, six, Penelope, four, and Reign, who will be two next week. “They are back together and giving their relationship a try again,” a source close to the couple reveals. “Scott’s mellowed out a lot and hasn’t been partying. Both want to make it work for themselves and their kids.” The pair were spotted getting cosy on a family holiday in Mexico a couple of weeks ago amid rumours they had put their past behind them. Scott admitted he has been “on a mission” to win back the 37-year-old and has returned to the mansion he shared with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star before their relationship fell apart. Kourt had finally had enough of Scott’s wild partying when he was seen getting very cosy with celebrity stylist Chloe Bartoli in Monaco in July 2015 – three months after checking himself out of rehab in Costa Rica, where he

She’s still protecting herself,” an insider reveals. “She doesn’t want to say that they are back together until she knows for sure that Scott is fully committed to his family. But so far, so good. Scott has been amazing and she is very happy.” Kourtney told TV host Ellen DeGeneres in January she found it impossible to turn her The couple back on Scott. “I feel like back in 2013 every day is different, but we’re totally getting along.

Lucy’s style has evolved since her TOWIE days. Her statement Paul & Joe faux fur complements an otherwise simple look – and we love her metallic Dune heels.

While Cate looks youthful, her lacklustre locks diminish the glamour of this glitzy Louis Vuitton two-piece. A bouncy blow-dry would have made this a winner.

This Monse dress worn over cigarette trousers is a redcarpet look to lust over and a lesson in wearing sequins, while the simple Edie Parker clutch bag and black courts are ideal finishing touches.

Matters of the heart are most definitely emphasised. Whether single or coupled-up, coincidences and happy times bring joy. You’re burning the candle at both ends so put your feet up at the end of the week.

hen filming for the Birds Of A Feather Christmas special kicked off, Lesley Joseph was in the midst of the Strictly Come Dancing madness. So, along with her co-stars Pauline Quirke, 57, and Linda Robson, 58, the 71-year-old actress was joined on set in Malta by her pro dance partner Anton du Beke. We caught up with the girls to find out what it was like having Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp back to play Dorien’s bad-boy lover and what else we can look forward to in this year’s featurelength episode… Hi ladies! How does it feel to be back doing Birds Of A Feather? Pauline: Fantastic. Back in the day, the BBC did specials and they didn’t always work, as they took people out of an environment they’re used to. This special isn’t just us on a jolly, this is a strong story set in Morocco. Linda: It’s been shot like a film.

Don’t sulk – it’s not just you who’s wearing Y-fronts

The Pass (15)

Stars: Russell Tovey, Arinze Kene, Lisa McGrillis How many openly gay footballers do you think there are among the thousands of players in the top tiers of the English game? Erm, well, how can we put this? None. That’s a fact worth bearing in mind while watching this moving tale of bonding and betrayal. The drama stars never-notgood Tovey as Jason and Kene as Ade, two pals signed to the same Premier League club when they were eight. Now, they’re hanging out in a hotel room together on the eve of a mega match wearing nothing but Y-fronts (there’s a lot of Y-frontage in this film). Then, one of them kisses the other.

John Legend

film

The two are supposedly heterosexual – “Of course I’m not gay,” cries Jason, “I’m a footballer!” – and the repercussions of what happened echo through the next decade. We catch up with them at five-year intervals as the sex and scandal in their lives begins to unravel. If the plot sounds theatrical, it is. The film is staged in three acts, just like the play it is based on (Tovey starred in that, too). However, there’s lashings of Footballers Wives-esque glam. And what makes this such a hit is the two lead performances. Verdict: On target. ★★★★

It’s this kind of confidence that has served JL well ever since he quit his job as a management consultant (no, seriously) and he opens this sixth album with the forthright I Know Better, singing, “Some folks do what they’re told, but this time, baby, I won’t.” As the title suggests, there’s lots of light and shade here. There’s a melancholy ballad for his seven-month-old daughter, Right By You (For Luna), two tracks after the lively Penthouse Floor, when Chance The Rapper bowls in with the only rap we’ve ever heard that features a knock-knock joke. Personal stories told with pop flourishes. Brilliant. ★★★★

Molly Moon And The Incredible Book Of Hypnotism (U)

film

Stars: Raffey Cassidy, Emily Watson

This is a twinkly film about an orphan who turns into a tiny, terrifying Paull McKenna when she learns how to hypnotise people (and dogs). Molly Moon (Cassidy) lives in an orphanage where for every caring adult, like Watson’s lovely Miss Trinklebury, there’s a raging tyrant, such as the boss (Lesley Manville). So when Molly chances upon a magical book on hypnosis, she makes a break for it. Naturally, all hell breaks loose and a parade of British stars descend to join the mayhem, the best of whom is Joan Collins as a glam criminal. The movie ladles it on thick in terms of “being yourself”, but the saccharine message is actually rather sweet. Verdict: Over the Moon. ★★★★

album Laura Now Mvula That’s What I READY OR NOT Call Party Hits As part of our

We assume this is angled towards the New Year’s Eve party market, so when it opens with Uptown Funk, you’ll be pouring yourself some fizz. At Olly Murs’ Dance With Me Tonight (track 15), you’re getting pretty tipsy. By Happy (23) you’re doing that embarrassing dancing you do. At The Killers’ Mr Brightside (41), you’re on the table. By Wannabe by the Spice Girls (49) you’re snogging your best pal. And at Haddaway’s What Is Love (65) it’s game over. ★★★

sinGle

semi-regular series where we love or hate the music from the festive ads, it’s the turn of House of Fraser and the one that vows – a bit too menacingly for our taste – “Christmas is coming for you”. It is of course a version of the smash hit from The Fugees (ask your parents), which is itself a cover of The Delfonics (ask your grandparents) and this is a uniquely upbeat new rendition from the rapidly rising Brummie. As ever with these Christmas advert artists, Laura has an album out. That’s well worth a listen, too. A fine festive effort. ★★★

The X Factor

8pm, ITV So here it is. After what feels like an eternity, The X Factor finally comes to an end for another series. Tonight is the first part of a two-night spectacular held live at Wembley Arena. Each of the trio of remaining wannabes will be performing two songs, plus – and it’s always the best bit – a duet with a guest performer. In the past we’ve had Beyoncé, Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow but who will they get to warble along with tonight? At the time of going to press, we can’t tell you who is in the final three, but we can remind you of what a peculiar year it’s been.

One name trumps all the others – Honey G. Love her or loathe her, the 35-year-old office worker, who was recently voted off, has split viewers with her covers of rap tunes and interesting dance manoeuvres. And even when the show is over, we have a feeling she’s not going to go away in a hurry. At the end of Saturday’s programme, the final three becomes two as one act with the lowest number of public votes is booted out. Two go through to Sunday night’s grand final with more famous faces performing before this year’s winner is finally announced. ★★★★★ Still only

9pm, BBC1 It’s the final episode and Dreyfuss is missing. Rose can’t stop thinking about him and when she’s at home, she’s preoccupied with him. To take her mind off things, she and Mr Corey tell the kids about the Christmas party at the aerodrome. Unsurprisingly, they’re all over the moon but it causes a division in the local community as Ned Hanlon demands to know why they’re not invited. Later, Rose is nervous when she hears the familiar sound of Dreyfuss’ jeep. But on seeing him for the first time in weeks, she doesn’t react in the way you’d think – she’s cold with him

instead of overjoyed. Meanwhile, Michael receives some bad news: his cousin, Vincent, wants Michael to buy back the licence to the pub which is held in Vincent’s name. Michael plucks up the courage to tell Rose about the boozer and she tries to ease his woes, but she’s worried he might be being conned by someone he considers to be trustworthy. To end the episode, the airhanger gets turned into a magical wonderland. And amidst the excitement, Rose finds out the real reason for Dreyfuss’ disappearance, which leaves her more torn than ever. ★★★★✩

Since she rose to fame in Pop Stars: The Rivals as part of girl band Girls Aloud, her life has been picked apart by the media, she’s written an autobiography and even when she’s not promoting anything, she can still make headlines. Well, now she’s going back to her roots to find out more about where she came from in this week’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are? And the Newcastle-born singer soon discovers her mum’s side is mysterious. But she’s

confident her dad is Geordie through and through. She discovers there were many coal miners in the family, and also several mariners. Cheryl’s then whisked off to visit the archives of Newcastle’s Discovery Museum to find out more about John Wood Laing and his wife Caroline. Unlike Cheryl’s multi-million pound lifestyle, they lived in poverty and with John away at sea much of the time, Caroline had to fend for herself. Then she heads to the area that was the Western Front in World War One, following in the footsteps of her great grandfather who fought there. ★★★★✩

CBS REALITY

8.30pm, BBC2 Explorer Paul Rose sets off from Ladram Bay and heads for the chalk cliffs of Beer Head in South Devon tonight. Once there, he gets taken on a trip underground on a tour of Beer Quarry caves. Then he continues east along the coastal path to Charmouth to learn about fossil hunting. After grabbing a quick sniff of the wild orchids in the old wildflower meadows of West Hay farm, Paul begins the steep climb up to Golden Cap, the highest point on the Coast Path with mega views along the Jurassic Coast. Just those things alone sound like they could fill up an episode.

But that’s not going to stop action man Paul because his next stop is Chesil Beach, where he visits the Abbotsbury Swannery, the only managed colony of mute swans in the world. Next up, he follows the Flete Lagoon, tucked behind Chesil Beach, and then the headland of Portland towards Weymouth. The waters there are perfect for sailing and are where Paralymic gold medallist Helena Lucas trained. And he’s chuffed to be taken out sailing where she reveals some of her top racing tips. Then it’s over to Studland and its two and a half miles of sandy beach. ★★★✩✩

The 45-year-old on why she doesn’t need to have a drink to fall over! The last book I read… was Barbara Windsor’s autobiography, All Of Me. I love it because I find her so easy to relate to. The last things I bought on my credit card… are a train ticket to Liverpool, nappies and milk. The last time I laughed until my belly hurt… was yesterday. I had a night out with the cast from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, including Jason Manford. He was telling me funny stories about things that have happened to him in his career. The last time I donated to charity… was yesterday. I bought The Big Issue. The last lie I told… was to myself, about my Weight Watchers Points. I fell off the wagon a bit and didn’t put them in. The last person I upset… was my baby son Jaxon when I took his toy dinosaur away from him. The last time I shouted at someone… was just before this interview. The baby is throwing milk around! The last person I’d want to spend 24 hours locked up with… would be Donald Trump. The last person I voted for on a reality show… was Louisa Johnson on The X Factor. I love her! The last time I danced until my feet hurt… is every night on stage in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The last holiday I had… was to Mallorca. I have a house on the island and spent the whole summer there. The last person I kissed… was my baby, this morning. The last time I embarrassed myself… was when Phill Jupitus invited me

round to his friend’s house. She had the most amazing book collection, but because I didn’t have my glasses with me, I kept getting all the titles wrong. The last film I saw… was Bridget Jones’s Baby. The last thing I watched on Netflix… was the TV series Narcos. Oh my God, it was amazing. The last exam I took… was an audition for the musical Hairspray. The last time I fell over drunk… was many years ago. Since I’ve had the baby I don’t drink as much. But I don’t need to be drunk to fall over – I’m the clumsiest girl going! n Gemma mcCarTNey Claire is starring as Baroness Bomburst in the UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
