Chantelle Houghton: 'I'm pregnant'

Chantelle Houghton has revealed she is expecting her first baby with partner Alex Reid.

The happy news comes after she was warned by docs that her chances of conceiving naturally were slim.

Announcing the news in this week's OK! magazine, she said: "'Oh my god! I'm pregnant! Let me through - I'm going to be the yummiest mummy there is.

'I'm milking it, trust me. I've told my friends and family, if I'm going through it, you're all going through it.

'Alex is desperate to know if it's a boy or a girl but I can't tell him until the four-month scan. We want to know the baby's sex.'
The reality star and model feared she might never have children after discovering she had low fertility and would need to start IVF treatment.

She also admitted that her past extreme dieting may have had an impact - something she later played down.

But just days before the couple were about to embark on IVF treatment, a pregnancy test - bought on the off chance - confirmed Chantelle was expecting.

"I just stared and stared at it. I couldn't move, she said. "The only thing that would move was my hands, shaking. I was in shock.

"We were a week away from starting IVF. The thought of conceiving naturally had gone out of my mind completely - I didn't even think it was possible."

Chantelle and Alex Reid got engaged last month despite the fact that he is technically still married to Katie Price.

Congrats to them both!

Eleven's 11 Big Ones: T4 Presenters

Channel 4

As we wake up every Saturday and Sunday cradling the remnants of our cheesy chips and looking like the dog threw us up, there are a bunch of sprightly, attractive things on telly making us feel a lot worse about ourselves.

The hosts of Channel 4's hangover slot, T4, are used to dishing out the tough questions to celebrity types, but we thought it was about time they received a taste of their own medicine. Georgie Okell, Will Best, Jameela Jamil, Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw and Matt Edmonson face their toughest questions yet with Eleven's 11 Big Ones.
1. Who is the biggest T4 diva?
Grimmy: I don't think anyone is a diva. There's no diva-ing. I've heard wonderful stories about June Sarpong having new haircuts half way through a filming day though. She'd have a new weave and that.
Georgie: Matt has to have all his food in one uniformed colour.
Matt: I do like it beige, like an omelette in a bap with some chips. But anyway, I would say it's Jameela.
Will: In a way, I'm the biggest diva as I insist on making my own tea, getting things for other people.
Matt: He's unbearable. He makes demands like 'oh can I get you something from the shop?' No stop asking!

2. What is your dirtiest habit?
Grimmy: I really like McDonalds - it's like my favourite restaurant. A quarter pounder, extra large fries and sweet chilli sauce in the burger is my favourite meal and then sometimes I have a starter of a double cheese burger. I love it so much I go a few times a week.
Jameela: For me, I don't just eat chicken, I eat a whole chicken as in I chew on the bones - I particularly like eating the cartilage.

3. Who was the last person to see you naked?
Jameela: My flatmate Dave. Everyone was out and I was just prancing around the house naked, as you do, and I pranced in to Dave. Dave hasn't looked me in the eye since. The naked run worked out very badly for me.
Will: 1991, bathtime, my sister.
Georgie: We've all pretty much seen Will naked.
Matt: When I close my eyes, it's burnt on my retina. I saw myself naked in the mirror this morning - it was terrifying.

4. How hot are you on a scale of 1-10?
Matt: If we're talking literally, I am the hottest because I am wearing the most clothes. But if I was to rank everyone it goes, Will, Jameela, Georgie, Grimmy, me.
Georgie: I'm less hot than Jameela?!
Matt: You're hot in a different way.
Jameela: Three. Definitely three last week - I had my tooth out. I think I'd give myself a six.
Grimmy: I'd give myself a five
Jameela: I'd give you a seven, maybe an eight in that jumper.

5. If you were a member of the opposite sex, what would your name be and why?
Grimmy: Grimonce (laughs) because that's amazing, that's why. Or Destiny Rose like a really trashy stripper's name or something. It's the worst girls name you could have - no offence any Destiny Rose's out there.
Jameela: Dave is the ultimate. I'd want something really properly boring. I think I'd suit a Norman.
Grimmy: That's good because old people would like and it young people would think it was like all ironic and that.

6. What's the most inappropriate thing you've ever done when drunk?
Will: 1992, bathtime... No, I had a couple of drinks and chatted up Jancie Dickinson. I think the most inappropriate thing was allowing a drunken peck on the cheek to become something quite a lot more than that...
Grimmy: I stole a Christmas tree, complete with decorations.

7. What's the most money you've ever spunked?
Grimmy: A watch that was like four grand but I wear it everyday, so cost per use...
Jameela: I bought my mum and brother a holiday to New York. At first it felt like a really nice gesture but then the price came at the end...

8. Which T4 guests have left you all a fluster?
Jameela: Chace Crawford made me sweat - he was just flirting outrageously. And interviewing Tom Hanks, even though I didn't fancy him got me in a fluster. I got him to sign my copy of Big. I was that person who came in with a DVD to get it signed.

9. Who has been your most disappointing interview?
Matt: Mine was for a T4 show Pocket TV where I interviewed Kate Nash. We did this thing called face invaders where you stand very close to a popstar's face. It was meant to be a little bit awkward but she found it genuinely terrifying and she didn't really play ball. You've got two options there - you can either back off and say it was a wasted interview or go in hard and aggressive and I went for that option.
Will: For me it was Lee Nelson and his routine is a character - a really bad Ali G. One of the questions we asked was 'how would you change my style?' and he just started undressing me and not in a funny way. It was just really, really awkward. He was trying to rip my belt off, but couldn't undo it but wouldn't give up.

10. What are your favourite pair of pants like?
Jameela: I love a granny pant. I found the ultimate granny pant - it has pockets.
Grimmy: They're to put like magnets in because women put them in there when they have HRT problems. My auntie puts a magnet in her knickers and then it realigns something in her ovaries. When she gets drunk at family parties, she hangs forks off them and stuff and all the kids love it.
Jameela: American Apparel do lacy granny pants, so it's like a slutty granny pant - the best of both worlds.
Grimmy: Oooh, slutty nans. That's nice.

11. Tell us a joke.
Jameela: What do gay horses eat? Haaaayy
Grimmy: This is the only joke I know and I think Jameela told it to me - why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? For drizzle.

T4's Stars of 2011 takes place on Sunday 11th December at Earls Court, London. The event will be broadcast across Channel 4 and 4Music. For tickets and more info, go to www.channel4.com/t4.

Freddie Starr leaves I'm A Celebrity after health scare

Comedian Freddie Starr has been forced to quit I'm A Celebrity amidst fears for his health.

The 68-year-old, who underwent a quadruple heart bypass last year, was hospitalised on Monday after collapsing in the jungle but had hoped to return to camp once given the all-clear.

Now doctors have advised that he should leave the show for good.

Fears for Freddie's health began when he complained of feeling sick and faint soon after his Bushtucker triumph and doctors are said to have diagnosed an allergic reaction.

However, since they were unable to determine exactly what triggered the reaction Freddie was advised to head home.
An ITV spokesman confirmed that Starr would not return, saying, "Producers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! have decided that Freddie Starr won't return to live in the jungle.

"Freddie has been a terrific contestant. His Bushtucker Trial is one of the stand-out moments in the show's history and we wish him all the best."

Freddie admitted he was "sick not to finish" his stint in the jungle but said, "I'll miss everyone in the jungle and whoever wins the competition, I wish them all the luck in the world.

"I'd love Fatima Whitbread to win."

According to The Mirror, the comic will receive only a portion of his fee.

There was good news for Freddie though because rumour has it his 34-year-old girlfriend is expecting a baby.

And though the camp may be missing one Starr, Sinitta and Pat Sharp have now entered the jungle... so that should cheer the celebs up.

Sweary Len prompts Strictly complaints

BBC

Straight-talking Strictly judge Len Goodman has prompted an impressive 600 complaints after laying into Craig Revel Horwood.

During a row over Harry Judd's tango, Len called his ascerbic fellow judge a "silly little sod" before hastily apologising to the viewers at home.
It was too little too late unfortunately because the BBC was inundated with complaints from angry viewers, who called Len's outburst "appalling" and "completely unacceptable".

The trouble started when Len broke ranks to declare that Harry's tango was "clinical" and lacked "intensity".

Craig made the mistake of arguing the point, prompting Len to blast, "There was no passion - you silly little sod".

Following a telling off from Brucie, grumpy Goodman added, "I apologise to all and sundry" but the damage had been done.

More than 600 complaints later, the BBC said in a statement, "Strictly Come Dancing is alive show and this was an unscripted, off the cuff remark for which Len apologised on air immediately afterwards."

Insiders claimed Len had been feeling "out of sorts" due to jet lag.

It's not the first time this year that Strictly had come under fire - two weeks ago, the show received more than 200 complaints about Robbie Savage's thrusting.

What do you think - was Len out of order or did viewers overreact? Leave your comments below...

Frankie 'could appear on X Factor tour' (VOTE)

Disgraced contestant Frankie Cocozza could get a spot on The X Factor tour next year if he cleans up his act, it has been reported.

The Sun newspaper claims that the bill is to be announced today without his name on the list, but he has apparently told friends there is a good prospect he could be added later.
The 18-year-old was kicked off the show after boasting about using cocaine - and admitted that his life had spiralled out of control.

He has since admitted his idiocy and begged the public to forgive him.

Frankie was replaced by Amelia Lily on Saturday night's show following a public vote.

The tour, an annual fixture after the show finishes, will start in February and visit massive venues like the MEN Arena in Manchester and Wembley Arena.

Eight acts are to be featured on the tour - with the contestants selected getting £700 per day, which would be good money for the youngster if he can just resist sticking it up his nose.

However, Frankie showed no signs of wanting to give up his partying lifestyle as he was pictured looking worse for wear last night.

He'd been enjoying a large one with fellow contestant Derry Mensah at London's Aura nightclub, and true to form Frankie worked his magic on some rather orange looking ladies.

And we thought he was supposed to be a changed man.

Should Frankie be given this chance?



What do you reckon? Does Frankie deserve another chance? Comment below...

Justin Bieber baby lawsuit dropped

It was one of the most unlikely celeb stories of the year, and now it seems the game is up for the woman claiming she was pregnant with Justin Bieber's baby.

Mariah Yeater has dropped her lawsuit against the teen star according to American celeb site TMZ.
She claimed she had sex with Justin backstage at one of his concerts in October 2010 and subsequently fell pregnant with his child.

The 20-year-old has now dropped legal proceedings after previously saying she was scared of launching a lawsuit against the teen star, and even faced legal action herself as Justin would have been a minor when the encounter was alleged to have happened.

And her lawyers were also thought to be concerned by Justin's threat to counter-sue and subsequently quit the case.

Justin had previously said he would take a paternity test to prove he was not the father.

We bet Selena Gomez is pleased this has all just gone away.

The Price of love is £2m for Katie (VOTE)

PA

Katie Price has reportedly been left fuming after hearing that she is going to have to fork out around £2m to ex-hubby Peter Andre and soon-to-be-ex Alex Reid this year.

The biggest single payment is a divorce settlement of £1m to Alex Reid, with whom she split right back in January.
And she also apparently has to pay Peter Andre £15k maintenance every month. Which is nice work if you can get it and adds up to a very healthy £180k per year.

Closer magazine reports KP as having told a friend: "My exes are bleeding me dry. I've been such a sucker - I've loved them all and they've just used me like this."

If you're wondering where the rest of the £2m comes from, apparently there are around £500k in legal fees relating to her divorce from Reid and custody issues with Pete and their kids.

The article also claims that Katie also spent huge sums on building a gym at her home for Alex and on treats for her more recent Argie boy toy Leandro Penna - with whom she has also now split.

Alex and his new fiancé Chantelle Houghton yesterday announced that she was pregnant, so expect a rather blingy pram once he's had his settlement from Katie.

Do you have any sympathy for Katie?

Before you start to panic, don't worry! Your Strictly faves Russell Grant, Harry Judd et al haven't gone anywhere - they've just made way for the BBC newsreaders for a BBC Children in Need Special.

The female journalists have swapped the newsroom for the ballroom as they take to the floor for a charity version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Sophie Raworth, Sian Williams, Angela Rippon, Susanna Reid and Emily Maitlis have all buddied up with some of Strictly's finest male professionals to perform a dazzling routine.

In the special hosted by Brucie and Tess Daly to air as part of Friday's telethon, the ladies start the performance in their familiar surroundings behind a news desk, before they strip off to reveal their glitzy frocks.

And Angela proves she's still game as she's hoisted up in the air to do the splits. It also marked her return to the ballroom after hosting Come Dancing, over 30 years ago.

Sick note Cheryl pulls out of Gary Barlow duet

Rex

Cheryl Cole was set for her musical comeback, but she's come down with a sore throat and has pulled out of her Children in Need Rocks appearance.

Cheryl had been lined up to duet with Gary Barlow at the charity event on Thursday night, which would have marked her first performance in months, but she's done a Kelly Rowland and called in sick.
She's come down with a throat condition called pharyngitis, which has prevented her uniting with the X Factor judge.

A spokesperson for the singer said: "Cheryl Cole has sadly had to pull out of a performance at CIN Rocks this week as she is suffering from pharyngitis."

Gary had known about the situation earlier in the week and told The Mirror: "There's a chance that Cheryl might have to pull out. We're still waiting to hear but, if it doesn't happen, I don't know what we're going to do."

Gary, who has organised the event himself, also told of how he offered Cheryl the chance to duet with any of the acts on the bill, which include Coldplay and Lady Gaga, but she chose him.

"I wouldn't have asked Cheryl to duet with me because I'm a gentleman," he said. "So I said to her: 'Do you fancy doing something? Take your pick. We've got Coldplay, you can duet with anyone.'

"And she said: 'Well, what about you? I fancy doing something with you.' And I thought, 'Here we go!' So I styled it out and waited before texting back... But I'm really excited."

Cheryl was pictured leaving Gary's house last week, and it is thought that during rehearsals they also spoke about Cheryl's possible return to The X Factor, as we reported on Monday.

Just as we were getting excited at the prospect of Chez and Gaz sharing a stage *sadface*.

J.Lo's toyboy: 'She's sex mad'

Cougar alert! Jennifer Lopez's new bit of fluff Casper Smart has been blabbing about how up for it she is.

The 24 year-old, who is reported to be seeing the pop star, 42, has apparently told friends that she has an 'insatiable appetite' for sex. Oo-err.

A pal of the dancer told The Sun: "Casper said J-Lo has an amazing body and she's in better shape than any other girl he's ever been with.

"He said she's got the body of a 20-year-old. They're inseparable right now."

However, anyone expecting to hear wedding bells anytime soon should probably hold that thought as it seems the relationship seems to be built on just one thing.
"It's just about sex - and no one's sure if it has much of a future," the source continued. "But he's having a good time finding out."

Casper, who is a topless dancer in a women's club, has been spotted leaving various hotels with the star after numerous nights together in recent weeks.

Jen separated from her husband of seven years, Marc Anthony in July.

Did someone say the word 'rebound'?

P-Middy's only been single for all of five minutes, but she's wasted no time in getting back with an old flame.

Pippa is reported to be 'back on' with former boyfriend Earl George Percy following her split from cricketer Alex Loudon earlier this month.
Reports the pair are seeing each other again were fuelled when the couple were both spotted at Sunday's Remembrance Day service in Northumberland.

Is Pippa Middleton back with her ex? PA

While they were said to have kept their distance from each other during the service, a source revealed to The Mirror they were very much back on.

"Their arrival caused a stir and they were very much together. The fact they came to such a public event says a great deal, as does the fact Pippa was with his family."

Pippa split from Alex after a series of bust-ups after he found it difficult to cope with her new found fame.

She originally dated George after they lived together during their time at Edinburgh University.

A spokesman for George's dad, the Duke of Northumberland declined to comment on the reports.

Matt Cardle, are you sure you've got the hang of this safe sex lark?

Matt Cardle is obviously still a teenager at heart. While most of us got over blowing up condoms for a laugh at the age of 15, Matt's still doing it, and not with just one.

But it's not to promote the launch of his own condom range like his X Factor buddies JLS - he's actually trying to educate people how to put a johnny on properly.

Thank goodness he didn't opt to do a live demonstration.
Matt joined campaigners who presented the findings of the Let's Talk About Sex survey to health MPs at the Houses of Parliament.

The survey, which found that young people believe they are failed by sex education, is part of a campaign for Channel 4's award-winning show Battlefront.

Matt said at the event he really wanted to help educate young people about safe-sex recalling his own experiences:

"It was always embarrassing and awkward so I had to figure things out for myself. I used to talk with friends as it's definitely more relevant to have someone offering advice and info on your level," he said.

He also revealed he's supporting Amelia Lily to win this year's X Factor, tipping her to triumph after she was brought back at the weekend.

Battlefront is a Channel 4 project. Find out more about the campaigns at www.battlefront.co.uk. The sex and relationships education episode will air on 20th December as part of the T4 zone.

Caroline Flack receives death threats over Harry Styles romance

PA

Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack has revealed she's been receiving death threats over her rumoured romance with One Direction's Harry Styles.

Jealous fans of the curly haired singer, 17, have threatened Caroline, 32, on Twitter, after the pair were spotted sharing a cosy dinner date at a London restaurant before jumping in a cab together.
Caroline took to Twitter to ask the deranged groupies to stop their messages:

"Hi one direction fans! To clarify. I'm close friends with harry.. He's one of the nicest people I know...I don't deserve death threats. :) x," she said.

The couple were reported to have shared a passionate snog at an X Factor bash earlier this month, something that Olly Murs confirmed in a chat with Eleven.

Talking about the flack that Caroline copped (sorry, we had to) when Harry appeared on The Xtra Factor at the weekend, Olly said:

"[The snog] is common knowledge, but I don't delve into people's private lives so it's up to them what happened, but the banter at the weekend was always going to happen.

"But Caroline was brilliant and she held it really well. You've got to laugh about it."

Dougie and Mark in trouble over secret jungle signals

I'm A Celebrity man candy Dougie Poynter and Mark Wright are rumoured to be in big trouble with ITV bosses.

The pair have reportedly been sending secret signals to the outside world in a bid to communicate with loved ones back home... despite the fact that they've been in the jungle less than a week.

According to The Sun, McFly man Dougie revealed before he entered the jungle camp that he had devised a "secret code" with which to pass messages to his girlfriend.

Mark Wright, meanwhile, made the mistake of telling his sister and fellow TOWIE star Jessica that he would be doing the same.

She duly blabbed on Twitter writing, "Ahh marks got to do the trial. So proud of him. He has a private sign to his family and he did it twice. He's gonna do so well thx 4 support (sic)."
Oops.

A show insider told the paper that bosses are "livid" about the coded messages.

"The whole point of I'm A Celebrity is that contestants are cut off from the outside world in the Aussie jungle... So bosses were absolutely livid when they heard some of the contestants were using secret codes to communicate with people back in the UK."

Producers are said to be "monitoring the situation" in case things get "out of hand".

Meanwhile Willie Carson may also be facing a jungle punishment after sneaking chilli into camp, a la Gillian McKeith.

He's obviously not a great secret-keeper though because, having slipped Stefanie some spice, he announced, "We put a bit of chilli and a bit of other stuff in it so hopefully it will be a bit more tasty than it should be."

Let's just hope he wasn't keeping it in his pants.

Vanessa Feltz: 'I nearly lost my leg'

TV personality Vanessa Feltz has revealed that she almost lost her leg to a flesh-eating bug.

The 49-year-old former chat show host, who now has a show on Radio 2, has been spotted with an unsightly and rather large hole in her leg - which is now scabbed over.
Explaining the situation to The Telegraph, she said: "'I hurt my leg a few weeks ago and thought nothing of it. Then, the other day, it started feeling very odd - like a sausage that was about to burst."

She says she was then admitted to hospital urgently, where she had an operation to save her leg.

She continued: "I went to the doctor and was told it was cellulitis. They gave me treatment, but I felt worse and worse. I had to have a chunk of skin cut out. It was nasty. I just needed to get it sorted."

Vanessa now can't wear trousers until the end of the month and still has ten metal stitches in her leg where the wound was sealed up.

She has also postponed her planned wedding to Ben Ofoedu until next year.

KP dismisses divorce payout speculation

PA

Katie Price has issued a statement to deny that she leaked the figure of £2m, which she was yesterday reported to be paying Peter Andre and Alex Reid.

But interestingly she has made no attempt to deny the amount of moolah involved - which she was claimed by Closer magazine to have revealed to a friend.
Peter Andre's managed Claire Powell did however issue a denial that Pete was getting £15k a month from KP - and that she had agreed to give him a total of £6m in their divorce settlement.

Ms Powell insists that Pete "walked away with nothing".

As to Katie's statement, that read, "There has been considerable speculation about the sums that Katie has or is going to pay Peter Andre and Alex Reid as part of their divorce agreements.

"Katie has not provided any information to the press or any third party about this matter and nor has anyone on her behalf.

"The arrangements that have or will be made with respect to Mr Andre and Mr Reid are, as far as Katie is concerned, confidential and she has at all times treated them as such."

So far so dull, but then things get a little more intriguing with a reference to "false accusations that have been deliberately put into the press by certain individuals".

Hmmm.

So what do you reckon? Is there more to this than meets the eye? Comment below...
