Jesy Nelson Speaks Out Against Jake Roche Split Rumours

Jesy Nelson has broken her silence on her supposed split from Rixton star Jake Roche insisting they are ‘very much in love’.

The rumour was that the pair who got engaged earlier this year had decided to go their separate ways after Jesy was spotted without her engagement ring and unfollowed her fiancée on Instagram.

However, the Little Mix star is adamant that everything is fine between them although admits that they are taking their engagement slowly and haven’t picked out a date for the wedding just yet.

"It's funny, because when my fiancé proposed to me, he'd never done it like, 'We're getting married tomorrow.' He felt like when he called me his girlfriend, it wasn't enough," she told Idolator in response to a question about whether she gets annoyed when asked when her wedding might be.

“He felt like it really undermined our relationship, and he loved the fact that - I don't know, he loved the fact that he can say I'm his fiancé instead of just girlfriend, and I love that. I think it's really sweet."

"We're in no rush. We want to travel the world together," she went on. "There's so much we want to do together, and at the moment, we're focused on our own careers that there just isn't time. We're literally in no rush.”

The popstar added that when they do get married, it’ll be a low key affair, saying:

"I think when we know, we'll know, and we'll do it, and [it will] probably be really intimate, hardly any people there. We're very much in love, and we'll do it when we feel the time is right."

Jesy and Jake started dating in the summer of 2014 after meeting through mutual friends at a gig they were both performing at.

X Factor’s Sam Lavery’s odds plummet after surge of bets on her exit this week

Sam Lavery is the unexpected favourite to get the boot from this weekend’s X Factor.

The teenager has been tipped as the most likely to leave the competition by bookmakers following Saturday’s performance.

Despite only landing in the bottom three once previously, it’s reported there was a sudden flurry of bets that Sam wouldn’t make it through to next week, prompting her odds to plummet.

Sun Bets Spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “We made Samantha our third favourite for elimination at 5/1 but have seen relentless money from shrewd punters backing her to go. “She is now our clear favourite for the X Factor axe.”

He added: “When we see money like this we know that clock is ticking for the Geordie lass.”

The theme this week is disco and Sam, who is mentored by Simon Cowell, has somewhat ironically planned to sing Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive.

“The way the betting has gone this week, Samantha Will Not Survive!” the spokeman added.

Matt Terry remains favourite to win the competition at 5/6 while the least likely is Ryan Lawrie at 80/1.

Coral’s Nicola McGeady said: “Samantha Lavery is in big danger of leaving the show this week but the odds suggest it could go down to the wire with Ryan Lawrie and Saara Aalto also in danger.”

Honey G is now third favourite to win, despite dividing viewers some of whom have started a petition to have her kicked off the show.

Thousands have signed the petition that claims that the show is a ‘fix’ and Honey G is not worthy of her place in the competition.

Apprentice candidate accused of ‘horrendous racism’ following last night’s episode

An Apprentice candidate has been accused of ‘horrendous racism’ following last night’s episode.

Dillon St. Paul left viewers up in arms after making comments about fellow candidate Karthik Nagesan’s sales tactics.

Speaking directly to the camera, Dillon said: "Karthik's negotiation technique is basically Indian chit chat. There was a lot of time wasted at the start. He should have just asked 'Where is your lehenga? Can I see it?"

However, his flippant comment did not go unnoticed by viewers who took in their droves to Twitter to vent their outrage.

One wrote: "..."Indian chit chat"..? This guy is something else #TheApprentice."

Another then commented: "Oh yay. It's the episode where they bait them into being horrendously racist #TheApprentice"

Moments later, another wrote: "Indian chit-chat...are you actually allowed to say that? #TheApprentice."

Shortly afterwards, another viewer tweeted: "They're dissing him for "Indian chitchat" but he got the deal #TheApprentice."

This isn’t the first time this series show has found itself in a race row. Before it had even started, a video of Alana Spencer was leaked that heard her referring to the traveler community as ‘pikeys’.

Cake company owner Alana, 24, was forced to apologise after it emerged she wrote: 'Control your children you fat pikey b****!' in an internet post in 2012.

Alana quickly apologized for her words, saying in a statement: “They were the words of a naive young girl from a number of years ago and I would never write such things now.”

The BBC is yet to comment on these latest claims.

Sir Cliff Richard admits he’s ‘wary of children’ since abuse claims

Cliff Richard has admitted that he is ‘wary of children’ and keeps his distance from people following last year’s child abuse allegations.

Speaking about his ordeal on this morning’s Lorraine, the singer said that the experience has altered how he monitors his behaviour.

"People have brought their grandchildren, children and I don't know what they turn out to be in 25, 30 years later. I'm a little wary, I try not to touch people too much, but that'll change. That'll all come back," he said.

He added that being accused of child abuse was ‘horrfying’ and left him feeling trapped.

"It's a horrifying, traumatically emotional situation you find yourself in and you don't know how to get out of it.

"The best decision I made was that I wasn't going to say anything until it was over," he went on, saying that his lawyers had commended him on his "dignified silence".

The veteran singer was the subject of a long-running South Yorkshire Police investigation which centred on accusations made by four men and dating between 1958 and 1983. In June all charges were dropped.

The 76-year-old says that it’s taken time but that he has finally found it in himself to forgive his accusers by finding religion.

"I never thought God had abandoned me," he said in reply to Lorraine's question. "I felt closer to him – who else could I turn to?

"I forgave my first accuser on the second night [after the allegations were made public]. I woke up thinking, 'how do I survive this if I have hate and vengeance in my heart?'. So I said to God, help me forgive him. I uttered the words, 'I forgive you, whoever you are', and it was a lot easier the next day as I didn't burn with hate and vengeance."

Meanwhile, Sir Cliff has been branded a ‘hypocrite’ by some for appearing on BBC’s The One Show despite currently suing the Beeb over their coverage of his arrest.

Michael Buble ‘will not sing again’ until son is cured of cancer

It has been said that Michael Buble ‘will not sing again’ until his three-year-old son is cured of cancer.

It was revealed last week that his eldest son Noah is suffering with liver cancer and is set to undergo chemotherapy to treat his illness.

Now close friend of the singer, David Foster, has said that Michael is ‘in a bubble’ since finding out the terrible news and won’t perform again until his little boy is well again.

"When this happens, everything shuts down around you," Foster told Entertainment Tonight.

"You go inside your little bubble and I don't think he's looking at social media. I'm sure he feels the love from the millions of people."

Since the sad news was announced, fans have rallied together to support Michael and his family and social media users even got the hashtag #PrayForNoah trending on Twitter.

"I don’t think he’ll sing again until his child is well," Foster said. "I am certain of it."

The music producer added that Michael was in ‘good shape’ ahead of Noah’s four months of chemotherapy treatment which are set to commence next week.

"He's in good shape," Foster added.

He's got good doctors around him. We will hope and pray for a good outcome, which I believe that they will have," he continued.

Michael and his wife Luisa Lopilato vowed to give up all their future work commitments to look after their ill child.

Meanwhile, Michael has decided to stay out of the spotlight since his son was diagnosed speaking only via a Facebook post that he used to break the devastating news.

"We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah, who is currently undergoing treatment in the U.S.," Bublé and wife wrote in a joint post. "We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children."

Lauren Goodger fuels bum implants speculation

Lauren Goodger has promoted further speculation that she has had bum implants after sporting an extreme new look.

The former TOWIE star was pictured at the Sport FX event just days sporting a brand new Kardashian inspired behind which many believe is a result of more than just exercise.

The 30-year-old arrived at the event in a figure hugging dress which showed off her curves which are believed by many to be the result of cosmetic surgery.

Former Page 3 girl Alicia Douvall was quick to criticize the reality star’s supposed decision, remembering her own experiences with the procedure.

“I saw before and after pics of Lauren and it looks like she’s had bum implants. If she has, she’s made a mistake!” the plastic surgery addict told Closer magazine recently.

"I think she’s gone too far and trust me, I know - my implants left me in so much pain."

However, Lauren is adamant that her new figure is a result of exercise, saying in a recent episode of TOWIE how she has been targeting the area.

"In weight training you’ve got to feed your bum, you’ve got to feed your muscles. So I eat loads of protein, protein shakes to build it,' she claimed in the ITVBe series.

"I have not had bum implants or another boob job," she told new! magazine last month.

"My bum is bigger because I've gained weight and been training my bum with weights so it looks bigger."

Kendall Jenner strips off to underwear for lingerie campaign

The latest images for Kendall Jenner’s newest modelling campaign have been released and feature the reality star in nothing but her underwear.

The Kardashian stripped off for the new campaign for lingerie brand, La Perla, showing off her seriously impressive body.

To get in shape gym bunny Kendall is believed to be extra careful with her diet – never eating junk food and making sure she always has loads of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The star is also believed to be a big fan of detoxifying green tea and is said to drink around 12 cups a day.

The 21-year-old also says she ‘can’t function’ without enough sleep so always makes sure she gets eight hours a night wherever she is.

The reality TV queen has also said in the past that weight loss is about changing your lifestyle and is that is healthy than the pounds will fall off.

Well, whatever it is, it certainly is working for her.

Unsurprisingly, this isn’t the first time Kendall has been booked to show off her smalls, previously fronting ad campaigns for the likes of Calvin Klein and Victoria’s Secret.

The La Perla collection is intended to show that strength and sexuality are not exclusive and the company have said that they hope that the range is ‘unapologetically feminist’.

"The shattered glass, for example, speaks to the glass ceiling, a metaphor coined by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women," says creative director Ada Masotti about Kendall’s shoot.

The feminist theme was carried throughout the shoot, with images of an open corset, a burning bra and of course, shattered glass.

X Factor’s Honey G ‘killed’ by online hoax

X Factor star Honey G found herself the target of an online hoax after it was claimed that the singer had been killed.

The cruel joke, which fooled hundreds of fans, said that the rapper had been shot ‘17 times’ in a street fight with a ‘rival East London gang’.

The report, later confirmed as fake, quoted an 'eyewitness' as saying: "Five men in balaclavas got out and began trying to open her door, but then she seemed to open fire on them from the inside, hitting one in the shoulder and another guy in the chest.

“They fired back, and hit her several times. She was bleeding from several areas on her torso.”

One fan who fell for the prank commented: "She wasn’t a good rapper but she is still human. No person should of got what she got. Rip honey G!”

It was written that the X Factor finalist was "wielding duel gold plated desert eagle handguns in each hand” and shouting “you East side pansies will never take me alive" during the supposed incident.

It also added: "Her family have asked for bottles of Hennessy to be spilled over her grave instead of flowers.”

After the story was finally outed as a prank for definite, fans didn't see the funny side with one commenting: "That is a bloody sick joke not funny."

Another added: "How disgusting - this is so fake and wrong."

Honey G is currently third favourite to win the X Factor, behind Matt Terry and Emily Middlemass with Irish bookies, BoyleSports cut odds on the rapper's victory from 12/1 to 15/2.

Martine McCutcheon says she ‘loves’ Botox and that it saved her from ‘looking ravaged’

Martine McCutcheon has revealed her motivation for going under the knife, saying that she felt she looked ‘ravaged’.

The former Eastenders star believes she didn’t look herself after being unwell with chronic fatigue syndrome which prompted her to book in for some Botox.

Speaking on yesterday’s Loose Women, Martine said:

"I had a really tough time being unwell. I tried to have rapidity but it didn't go well. It basically showed on my face a lot and I looked ravaged."

"I just looked in the mirror and thought 'I've always had nice skin, I've always had a nice beautiful glow - and now it's gone'. So I had Botox."

The 40-year-old doesn’t regret her decision and says that she is pleased with the result and ‘loves’ having the procedure which costs around £200 per area.

However, she says at first she was surprised by what she saw in the mirror saying that initially, she felt she ‘looked a bit strange’.

"I didn't like it," she confessed. "It made me look a bit strange. But then I had it again and Oh my God, I loved it, I absolutely loved it, because it didn't look like I wasn't me anymore. I just looked like me but not a creased pillow, basically."

Botox is used to make lines and wrinkles look less obvious by relaxing the facial muscles.

The effects generally last around four to six months and after that need to be administered again to maintain the desired, wrinkle-free effect.

Jennifer Lopez shares stunning near naked selfie

Jennifer Lopez treated fans to a super sexy selfie, showing off some serious side boob and booty earlier today.

The 46-year-old (yep, really) took to Instagram to share the snap which she captioned with a few hashtags, including “#loveyourselffirst” and “#feelingempowered.”

The star makes no secret of her rigorous workout plans that she uses to stay in shape crediting personal trainer to the stars, Tracey Anderson, for her killer body.

Speaking to Hello! recently about her regime, Jennifer said:

"I am 100 per cent convinced that working out is part of what makes me so happy. Dance has always been a huge part of my life and taking the time to move my body and do something that's so good for me is key to my happiness. And I really believe that when you take care of yourself and work to stay healthy, you're better able to take care of those you love. So working out is definitely a priority for me."

She also says that she has never smokes, rarely drinks and abstains from drinking coffee.

The singer is also open about her strict diet, saying that she always opts for low calorie meals, even when dining out.

"I'm a very social person and love spending time with my friends and family, so when we go out to eat I try to make healthy choices. Most restaurants offer healthy, low-calorie meals so I watch for things on the menu that fit my lifestyle. I'll have a salad or some fish with veggies. And I make sure I drink lots of water throughout the meal,” she said.

Khloe Kardashian sparks concern with plumper than usual lips

Khloe Kardashian has sparked concern after being pictured with a particularly plump out, prompting fans to criticise her appearance.

The Kardashian posed for a seemingly innocent selfie with a fan when her followers started commenting that her lips looked different.

The consensus was that Khloe has had work done, with one Twitter user writing: "What the f**k is wrong with her mouth?!"

"So this is what happens when a fan posts a pic instead of the celebrity. No photoshop bih (sic)," another posted.

While another added: "gosh close ups are not good for people..especially her."

However, many have noted that as the picture was not posted directly by Khloe herself it may well have been altered.

Meanwhile, it was today rumoured that reality star, Khloe, could be expecting her first child.

Pregnancy rumours hit the headlines this morning with ‘insiders’ claiming that Khloe is carrying new boyfriend Tristan Thomas’ baby.

A source said: “Khloé’s so happy. The pregnancy came as a surprise, particularly since Tristan’s ex-girlfriend is currently pregnant, but Khloé got on board with the idea of having a baby pretty quickly.”

However, the star was quick to quash the rumours, with her team telling MailOnline that the story is “completely fabricated and untrue”.

Other claims, which insiders close to the star have also denied, stated the couple are ready to get married so that “everything done us correctly” so the pregnancy doesn’t look like an “accident” despite only going public with their relationship in September.

Louisa Johnson suffers on-stage wardrobe malfunction

Louisa Johnson was left red-faced yesterday after a serious on-stage wardrobe malfunction.

The X Factor winner was performing in Sheffield when her skirt got hitched up revealing more than she, or the audience, had bargained for.

However, the pop star was unphased and, after popping off stage to sort out the mishap, was straight back to her set at the Meadowhall Shopping Centre’s Christmas lights switch on.

The 18-year-old made no mention of the incident on her social media accounts, instead choosing to plug her new single, So Good.

"Sooooo excited The #SoGoodVideo is finally here on @Vevo_UK!!! I hope you guys love it!," she wrote.

Previously, the star had tweeted fans to say how excited she was to be performing at the festive event.

The singer wrote: "So happy to be performing at @LoveMeadowhall #MHXmasLive and Christmas lights in Sheffield tonight!."

Talk about a bum note.

This isn’t the first time this week that Louisa’s outfit choices have made headlines instead of her singing.

The popstar was criticized earlier this week over her X Factor performance on Sunday night, with some deeming it too raunchy for the family audience.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their distaste, with one writing: "What are we teaching girls watching this? Less is more I suppose."

“Louisa that was incredibly weak vocal. Vanilla song. And erm could see your knickers," another tweeted.

While a third wrote: "Didn't really appreciate seeing her a** just then."

Drake fuels Taylor Swift romance rumours

Drake has fuelled rumours that he is romancing Taylor Swift after posting a picture of the two of them together on Instagram.

It’s believed that the rapper has been wooing the singer and that the pair are in a relationship after being spotted ‘flirting’ at a party last month.

Taylor recently attended Drake’s birthday party where he was rumoured to be getting close to the star and putting his arm round her.

According to Page Six, they “were intimately flirting, talking closely and laughing. The only person he spent more time with other than his mom was Taylor.”

Another partygoer told E! News: "At one point Drake and Taylor were seen near the DJ together talking, his arm over her shoulder for a minute like a real friend moment. It looked like they were talking about something deep."

However, like this 'insider', most sources claim that the pair ‘are just friends’ and most fans have dismissed the rumours saying that the pair have just been in the studio together working on music.

A supposed ‘insider’ told E! News: "the music they have been working on is different," albeit "very catchy."

"They've both been having a great time in the studio," they added.

A Drizzy and T-Swizzle collaboration? Sounds promising enough to us.

Taylor has been single since splitting with actor Tom Hiddleston last month after just twelve weeks together. Before that she was dating DJ Clavin Harris for just over a year.

Drake is currently single after calling time on his on/off relationship with popstar Rihanna.

Meanwhile, Taylor, 26, was named as the richest woman in music this week, reportedly raking in an impressive £138 million last year, beating off the likes of Adele and Beyonce.

Michelle Keegan says sex scenes left her unable to look her Dad in the eye

Michelle Keegan has opened up about the reality of filming sex scenes saying that she cringes at the thought of her parents watching.

The Our Girl star has said that she couldn’t look her Dad in the eye after filming steamy scenes for the series.

Speaking on Jonathan Ross, the actress said that she was more worried about what her parents would think than her partner, former TOWIE star Mark Wright.

Asked who she worried about most, Michelle said: "Not so much my partner but... I'm going to be honest, my dad.

"He came to the screening with my mum and I was sat on the other side with the cast, and I remember my brother was sat between my mum and my dad, and I remember the scene coming on and I couldn't look in that direction once, I couldn't do it.”

"And we haven't even spoken about it since, I just can't bring it up to him. He totally understands it's acting."

Michelle has previously talked about husband Mark Wright’s rection to her filming kissing scenes with costar Luke Pasqualino, saying that he ‘understands’ it’s part of her job.

"Everyone makes a big deal about how Mark feels about it, but my character in Corrie went with a few men, so yes, he's seen me kiss loads of guys! It's my job. I can't turn around and say 'no, I don't want to do this',” she said.

Mariah Carey demanding $50 million ‘inconvenience fee’ from James Packer

Mariah Carey is reportedly ‘depressed’ following her split from billionaire James Packer and demanding a $50 million ‘inconvenience fee’.

The singer is said to be struggling to come to terms with her fiancee’s decision to call off the wedding and feels she’s entitles to compensation.

A source told People magazine: "First the split didn't seem to faze Mariah. It was like she expected things to be fine soon. Now she realises that things aren't fine and not being with James makes her depressed."

The source continued: "She doesn't want to sit at home and dwell on it. She is very hurt that he dumped her. She knows she will never be able to find someone like him."

Additionally, the singer was supposedly expecting a $50 million prenup, however, following their split this has become a bone of contention and something she apparently feels she is owed.

A source told Entertainment Tonight: “He moved her across the country and relocated her and her kids. He made promises to her that weren't fulfilled," the source said, adding that Mariah expects to keep her $10 million engagement ring.

Meanwhile, it’s alleged that Mariah had picked out her wedding gown and even had a mini version made for her daughter, Monroe.

It’s also believed that the ceremony had been organized and that the star had planned multiple celebrations across various venues.

Ferne McCann shows off incredible figure in bikini selfie

Ferne McCann set pulses racing with this stunning new bikini-clad selfie.

The former TOWIE star uploaded the sizzling snap to her Instagram page yesterday and it would seem she is more confident than ever.

Ferne has said she feels less insecure about her looks since undergoing recent cosmetic surgery to change her nose.

The Essex girl recently spoke publicly about her procedures defending her decision to go under the knife saying that it ‘made her feel more confident’.

She denied claims that she did it to increase her chances of breaking into acting, despite rumours the reality star was trying to make it big in LA.

Revealing her new look on Loose Women, Ferne said: "In terms of my nose, yes I’m talking about it again, a lot of people thought I got it done to conform to the LA appearance. I did it for me and not to fit into a certain lifestyle."

The 26-year-old is currently single saying that she doesn’t yet feel ready to ‘settle down’.

"I'm only 26. Of course I'll meet a man," she told New magazine . When you're younger, you think you’re going to do this and that by a certain age. But I don’t feel ready to settle down."

However, that’s not to say that she wouldn’t change her mind for the right man.

"You've got to keep your options open if you’re not 100 per cent sure," she explained. "Like I said, I'm all or nothing. But I'm single and keeping my options open, I've not found Mr Right.”
