Tommy Mallet calls TOWIE co-stars “w**kers” on Celebrity Juice

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Tommy Mallet has bashed his co-stars, labelling them “w**kers” on TV.

Tommy and girlfriend Georgia Kousoulou appeared on Celebrity Juice last night (Thursday, May 11) and the TOWIE star certainly didn’t hold back his opinion on his fellow cast members.

Host Keith Lemon began by reminding Tommy of his recent argument with James ‘Lockie’ Lock, in which he dubbed him a “six-foot bitch and a pr**k”, and which had ended with Tommy insisting the pair could not be friends any more.

“You know what, we finished filming a few weeks ago, I can’t really remember what happened,” Tommy confessed.

Keith quipped: “So I guess you only remember the script for a little bit and then get rid of it.”

Tommy continued to explain how him and Lockie had a “funny” relationship. However, when Keith asked if it had all been a bit of banter, Tommy replied: “How would you feel filming with a bunch of wankers for six months?”

Ouch.

Tommy isn’t the only one to have bad-mouthed his co-stars. After witnessing scenes during the season finale, his girlfriend Georgia posted a video rant on Snapchat. She said: “F**k off Pete. No one likes you. Or Lockie. I’ve had enough now.

“If Lockie didn’t like what we said about Pete, he should have said that, instead of going in on personal comments about our relationship.

“We never went in on Pete and Megan as a couple, we stuck up for our friend.”

The Only Way Is Essex will return soon to ITVBe.

Pregnant Ferne McCann breaks down on This Morning over ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins’ arrest

Ferne McCann has finally broken her silence since announcing the news of her pregnancy with Arthur Collins’ child.

The former TOWIE star appeared on This Morning today (Thursday, May 11) to give her first interview since the dramatic events of last month were reported. Arthur was arrested and charged in relation to the acid attack in London at the end of April and shortly after Ferne announced the news that she was also pregnant with his baby.

After laying low for weeks, an emotional Ferne returned to the ITV studio to give fans an explanation. Presenter Holly Willoughby hugged the Celebs Go Dating star as she began to tearfully describe the dramatic events of the last few weeks.

She said: “It has been such a stressful, surreal situation to be in that. I’m actually feeling good and positive because I’m pregnant that has given me strength and hope to get through this.”

When Holly asked her it felt to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time at her scan, Ferne replied: “It was a massive relief. Leading up to that point, you’re thinking I hope everything is OK with the baby. It’s just a magical moment – it’s mental, being pregnant.”

Revealing how difficult the first few weeks of her pregnancy were, Ferne joked that she’d had “all-day sickness”.

She continued: “I’ve had all the symptoms – started off with the nausea, then the crazy headaches that led to vomiting, the morning sickness. I don’t know why they call it morning sickness, because I’ve been sick morning, noon and night. But I’m feeling good.”

Getting emotional, the star said: “This isn’t how I imagined my first pregnancy to be, but it’s not about me, it’s about this baby.

“My main concern and priority is the baby.”

Ferne broke down as she began to describe the support from the public during her tough time. She said: “Reading through the private messages on Instagram has been so touching and so humbling.

“That is what I’m so grateful for, everyone’s words; from single mothers, to single fathers, to people that have followed my career, to people that have never even seen me on TV.”

After taking a moment to calm down, Ferne was asked by Holly and Phillip Schofield whether she wants to know the sex of her unborn baby.

“I’m completely undecided!” she confessed. “I’m quite an impatient person, but now I’m in the situation I’m thinking it will be such a lovely surprise.”

Ferne ended the interview on an optimistic note, admitting she is looking forward to her future as a parent.

“I’m just so looking forward to it – I can’t wait to meet my baby. It’s not going to be easy but I’m going to be the best possible mum I can be.”

Ferne McCann is returning to This Morning to discuss pregnancy after Arthur Collins’ arrest

Ferne McCann will finally break her silence as she returns to This Morning tomorrow, in her first interview since her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins’ arrest.

Ferne has been laying low since announcing the news of her pregnancy with Arthur Collins’ baby, which was revealed shortly after his arrest for the London acid attack.

She has not appeared to fill her usual slot on This Morning, but hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have now revealed that the former TOWIE star will be making a return to the ITV show tomorrow (Thursday, May 11).

Speaking at the end of today’s episode, Phillip told viewers: “Speaking for first time since her ex-boyfriend’s arrest, pregnant Ferne McCann tells us how she’s preparing for life as a single mum.”

The unborn child’s father was arrested and charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and one count of throwing corrosive fluid on a person with intent to do grievous bodily harm in connection with the acid attack in London nightspot Mangle on 17 April.

At the time, Ferne’s spokesperson said to OK! Online: “Ferne is grateful for the sympathetic way news of her pregnancy has been covered and people’s support and obviously her first concern is for her child’s health.

“Ferne is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation and is determined to do all she can to have a happy and heathy child and face the challenges of being a single parent with all her energy.”

The Celebs Go Dating star sent out her sympathies to the victims of the attack, two of whom have been left blind in one eye. The spokesperson concluded: “Her thoughts are with the victims of the horrific attack on Easter Monday.”

This Morning continues tomorrow at 10:30am on ITV.

TOWIE’s Courtney Green and Myles Barnett reveal co-stars push for storylines if they need money

The Only Way Is Essex couple Courtney Green and Myles Barnett have let slip some of the show’s biggest secrets, revealing how some cast members “push for storylines” when they are short on the cash.

Speaking to OK! magazine about their relationship, the loved up reality stars admitted they were totally comfortable filming together because they are “with each other every day”.

Despite having their own fair share of drama on the programme this season, the pair revealed that some of their co-stars actually push for storylines in order to rake in more money.

“There are a lot of people who need to earn money so they’ll push for storylines, but I have a job. I was genuinely happy with being a chilled character, then drama fell into our laps,” said Myles.

Courtney and Myles went through a bit of a rough patch on the show when it came to light that Courtney was still in contact with her ex-boyfriend. However, the two managed to get things back on track and now they are determined their relationship will survive the show.

They even asked their fellow co-stars for some relationship advice and will be following in the footsteps of Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou from now on; the only couple to survive the TOWIE curse.

Courtney continued: “Tommy and Georgia told us, ‘If you have a little bicker, don’t bring it on the show because you’ll sort it out in the next hour’.”

Myles added: “Lockie [James Lock] was really warm. He’s been giving me lots of advice about relationships in general, as he’s a bit older.”

TOWIE’s Megan McKenna accuses Chloe Meadows of using her for a “storyline”

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Megan McKenna has accused former friend Chloe Meadows of using her for storylines and confirms the “friendship is definitely finished”.

The girls were the best of friends when they both joined the ITVBe series in 2016 but things took a nasty turn when the pair fell out over Megan’s relationship with Pete Wicks. Chloe may have since tried to smooth things over on the show but her ex-BFF has been having none of it, and it doesn’t look like she’ll be forgiving her anytime soon either.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Megan said: “I don’t know why she [Chloe] even bothered with wanting to be my friend. They only showed part of that argument and I looked a bitch. But the truth is she only messages me during the show and even then it is only so she can use it as a storyline. I don’t believe she genuinely wants to repair our friendship. She’s never actually been there for me.”

A post shared by Chloe Meadows (@chloejmeadows) on

Chloe has claimed on several occasions how she’s attempted to salvage a friendship with Megan, especially when Pete’s sexting scandal came to the surface. However, Megan has argued that her old bestie could have tried a lot harder…

She explained: “When I found out about Pete cheating in Marbella she could have come see to make sure I was alright. That’s what real friends do.

“But instead she sent me a message just so she didn’t look bad. That’s not a friendship from me. I don’t want none of it. I’m better off without her.

“Our friendship is definitely finished. It’s just that she’s playing the victim. I can’t be bothered with her any more. I don’t need to let her back into my life.”

The Only Way Is Essex will return soon to ITVBe.

TOWIE’s Chris Clark dumped Little Mix star Jesy Nelson via text

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Chris Clark ended his romance with Jesy Nelson over text, reveals friend and co-star Myles Barnett.

These poor Little Mix girls. They really don’t have the best luck with guys, do they? First it was Perrie Edwards who was dumped via text by her fiancé Zayn Malik, and now it has been revealed that Jesy too received a brutal break-up message from Chris.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Chris’ pal Myles explained exactly how the split went down. Appearing alongside his girlfriend Courtney Green, he said: “People are saying he used her, but that’s not true.

“He was obviously interested; he thought she was stunning and spoke about her to me. He was buzzed, proper into her, but his first love was Amber [Dowding].”

Myles continued: “He probably didn’t do it as well as he could have, but he wanted to tell her as soon as possible, which meant over the phone as she was in America.”

Chris and Amber agreed to take things slowly on TOWIE, but Myles thinks a rekindled relationship seems likely in the future.

“They can get back together because no one cheated. It was Chris’ first relationship and he probably didn’t do things right, and she probably didn’t react right,” he said.

“If they’ve got a chance to work, now’s the time.”

Amber recently hit back at Little Mix fans accusing Chris of using Jesy to raise his celebrity profile.

She wrote on Twitter: “Would love to know how they’re great pretenders … it proper gets me down when people slate relationships for the fun of it. Nasty.”


One Little Mix fan asked: “What would you know about relationship when you and @ChrisJClark_ just used @LittleMix Jessie to raise your own Z list profile??”

Amber wrote back: “1. I wasn’t in a relationship with her LOL. 2. Go to bed your boring”.

TOWIE’s Lewis Bloor spotted “cuddling and kissing” Made In Chelsea’s Olivia Bentley

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Lewis Bloor was reportedly spotted “cuddling and kissing” Made In Chelsea star Olivia Bentley.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was spied getting a little cosy with Liv as he appeared in the capital’s Café de Paris this weekend.

An attendee at the party in question told OK! Online: “Lewis arrived to the event with a big group of mates, including Olivia who looked stunning in a short dress.

A post shared by Olivia Bentley (@oliviabentleyk) on

“Lewis couldn’t keep away from her – they kept cuddling and kissing as they danced, and he even gave her a cheeky slap on the bum.

“They were so cosy all evening, and kept snogging in front of everywhere – I don’t think they cared who saw.”

The report follows Lewis’ recent split from Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson after she discovered he had been cheating on her. However, Marnie has now insisted she’s “finally recovered” from the break-up and feels back to her “old self”.

“I’ve finally recovered from my break-up with Lewis,” she wrote in her Star Magazine column.

“I’ve seen he’s tweeted but I’m over commenting on it.

“I feel back to my old self and talking about the past doesn’t help. My final comment is that I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does in life.

“[I want to concentrate ] on working hard and partying harder.”


Made In Chelsea continues tonight (Monday) at 9pm on E4.

Pete Wicks says he “needs a break” from TOWIE after “mentally draining” series

Pete Wicks says he “needs a break” from TOWIE after “mentally draining” series

Pete Wicks has admitted he is looking forward to a break from The Only Way Is Essex after an emotionally exhausting season 20.

It’s been one hell of a series for the TOWIE star this year, after being publicly shamed for his sexting scandal and then going through a seriously messy break-up with Megan McKenna, all on camera.

Season 20 came to a close this Wednesday (May 3) and, although we might be wondering what we’re now going to do with our Sunday and Wednesday evenings, Pete is certainly relieved to finally have a break. Speaking at the MCK Grill launch, he said: “The show has been tough.

“It has definitely been a hard series and I need this break; I need to concentrate on myself.

“It has felt like a long time since we started filming this year; TOWIE can be mentally draining sometimes.

“Hopefully by the next series I will be fully loaded.”

Pete’s break-up with Megan has also created tensions between him and his fellow co-stars Chloe Sims, Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou. However, the tattooed star insisted he no longer “gives a s***” about what everyone else has to say.

He continued: “Just because Megan and I are civil doesn’t mean we’re together.

“People don’t understand that we’re able to be civil.

“Not every ex can be as we are and it’s weird to other people but I don’t give a s***.

“If Chloe doesn’t like it and wants to keep talking about it then so be it.”

After witnessing scenes of Pete bitching about her and Tommy on Wednesday, Georgia posted a video rant on Snapchat. She said: “F**k off Pete. No one likes you. Or Lockie. I’ve had enough now.

“If Lockie didn’t like what we said about Pete, he should have said that, instead of going in on personal comments about our relationship.

“We never went in on Pete and Megan as a couple, we stuck up for our friend.”

She’s already done the rounds on Ex On The Beach, Celebrity Big Brother and TOWIE, and now it seems Megan has her sights on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking to Star magazine, the reality TV personality admitted: “I’d love to do Strictly.

Megan continued: “I’d love to be in a musical too. I want to paint myself green and be Elphaba in Wicked. That would be amazing.”

The 24-year-old recently unveiled her plans to go above and beyond TOWIE and become the “next Kim K”. Megan has revealed how she will use her platform as a reality star to develop her own empire from the ground up, which already includes a make-up line and a new restaurant.

Speaking to Star magazine, she said: “[Kim Kardashian] came from being Paris Hilton’s stylist to having her own empire. She’s got a family, an amazing house and all her businesses – that’s what I want. TOWIE won’t be there forever.

“TOWIE is perfect for me right now, but I will move on to other things in years to come.”

The Only Way Is Essex will return with another series soon on ITVBe. 

TOWIE’s Megan McKenna hits back at Chloe Sims for claiming her split was for “airtime”

TOWIE’s Megan McKenna hits back at Chloe Sims for claiming her split was for “airtime”

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Megan McKenna has responded to comments made by her co-star Chloe Sims.

Megan publicly broke up with her on-off boyfriend Pete Wicks during this season of TOWIE after the star couldn’t get over his past infidelities. However, Chloe confirmed that the pair are back on earlier this week, suggesting the whole split was done for “airtime”.

She told Star magazine: “I reckon they’re back together because of the way he’s behaved lately.

“I think she’s doing it for the show, though. Some people are really hungry and just want the airtime!”

Now Megan has hit back, arguing Chloe “has no right” to make judgements about her relationship. Speaking at the launch of her new restaurant MCK Grill, she told The Sun: “I feel quite sad that Chloe has to be so bitter about Pete and I being civil.

“She has no idea what’s going on between us. She has no right to judge my life or his.

“If Pete and I want to be on a night out and have a drink together – why is that any of her business?

“I don’t understand how she thinks I am trying to get more airtime by us being civil.

“I got more airtime when we were not speaking and I was having arguments with everyone else.

“I do not understand why she has been saying that – I am very confused.”

Megan also had a word or two to say about her co-stars Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet. She said: “I feel like Tommy and Georgia have been a bit unfair on me and the situation.

“It is almost like they enjoyed it when Pete and I were screaming at each other and as soon as we made peace everyone is kicking off about it.”

The Only Way Is Essex will return for another series later this year on ITVBe.
