Fans of Gogglebox were left disgusted after Ellie Warner admitted she and her friends made up a ‘tag’ game called #MeToo.

Viewers expressed their disgust when Ellie and her sister Izzie talked about the last time they had played the playground game ‘tag’, with Ellie admitting she had recently played a modified version of the game.

The adult version of the game involved her and her friends chasing each other around and grabbing each other’s ‘boobs or bum’ and call out ‘me too’ when caught.

Fans took to Twitter to rant about her problematic game, writing: ‘Can’t actually believe that woman on Gogglebox taking the p**s of the Me Too movement with her pals, chasing and grabbing each other’s breasts and shouting “me too” whenever they caught each other.’

Another added: ‘Ellie making a “joke” about the me too movement… after the way she treated her dog, why is she still on?’

Izzie also came under fire for Friday’s episode after she suggested someone should have ‘shoved his k**b in her gob to shut her up’ after being questioned by a woman.

Viewers wrote: ‘Those sisters are disgusting. One suggests sticking a k**b in a gob to shut someone up and the other makes a grab a boob game out of the me too movement. They should be pulled off air. I don’t offend easily but those two are vile.’

Another added: ‘The two sisters on #Gogglebox are so annoying. Why are they still on the show? Who makes a game out of #MeToo? Ellie just come across as stupid. Both sisters think it’s clever to say such stupid stuff to get headlines.’

Me Too is the movement against sexual harassment and assault which went viral in 2017 to demonstrate how common sexual assault and harassment is, particularly in the workplace.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Michelle Visage sported a protective knee strap ahead of tonight’s launch show, amid injury fears.

The Drag Race favourite was spotted at a park in London, taking a break during rehearsals with partner Giovanni Pernice.

According to reports, the 51-year-old seemed to be in pain as she enjoyed the brief sunshine, alongside co-star Alex Scott.

While it is not yet known what caused her injury, the Sun claims she ‘struggled to get to her feet’ at one point during the outing, and seemed to be in pain when putting weight on her foot.

Which isn’t too great just before you have to dance on live TV for the first time…

But if anyone can power through, it will be Michelle.

And the Celebrity Big Brother star didn’t seem to let the injury get her down as she prepared for the launch.

Taking to Twitter, she told her 518.7k followers: ‘I cannot tell you how humbled and grateful i am for the birthday love.

‘@bbcstrictly rehearsals are done and now it is time to KEEEEEP DANCING! See you tomorrow on the dance floor! #TeamVisagio #strictly #chachacha.’

Michelle has been partnered up with Giovanni, and the professional dancer confessed she is pretty hard work on the dancefloor.

The 29-year-old supported his new best friend at the launch of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK when he was asked how rehearsals are going.

His reply? ‘It’s going’

‘It’s going really well actually, you’re doing really, really well. You are very hard work,’ he continued.

‘Very strong personality. But we’re having a good time, aren’t we?’

It definitely sounds like it…

Michelle’s injury comes after Jamie Laing was forced to drop out of the competition completely, following a painful fall in rehearsals.

The Made In Chelsea star was replaced by Kelvin Fletcher, who will be taking to the floor with Oti Mabuse.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Michelle and Strictly Come Dancing for a comment.

Strictly Come Dancing kicks off tonight, on BBC One, at 7pm.

Kelvin Fletcher has admitted he felt guilty about replacing Jamie Laing on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Emmerdale actor, who was brought into the line-up after Jamie suffered an ankle injury, revealed he had mixed emotions when he was asked to appear on the show.

Speaking on Heart radio, he said: ‘You know I was absolutely delighted I was ecstatic, my family were really really excited but it’s on the back of someone else’s misfortune.

‘So it was a really strange feeling because I almost felt guilty about being excited and being really chuffed to do it because you know some poor guy there was absolutely gutted that we was injured and couldn’t do it.’

And, while some of the stars have had some experience of strutting their stuff on the dance floor, we’ll be seeing Kelvin starting from scratch.

No pressure then, pal.

‘I haven’t done any dancing before, so it was all very new and very exposing I guess, you know you feel quite vulnerable but even then I got a sense of that enjoyment, and that sense of family and what an exciting time it could be and a great journey,’ the 35-year-old pointed out.

We could not be more ready.

Despite Kelvin feeling the guilt over replacing Jamie, it’s clear there were no hard feelings from the Made In Chelsea star after he sent a sweet congratulations message.

‘I just want to give a big congratulations and shout out to Kelvin Fletcher who’s taken my place on Strictly this year,’ Jamie said in a video.

‘Thank you for your message, I’m sending one back because obviously you’re going to have the best time and you’re going to rock the dance floor, I can’t wait.’

Oh, you two.

Kelvin is set to take to the dance floor with pro Oti Mabuse, with the pair dancing the Samba to La Vida Es Un Carnaval by Celia Cruz in week one.

Let’s get dancing.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.

Stacey Dooley has shared a sweet message to her ‘reigning champ’ Kevin Clifton ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing live shows.

The duo were the stars of the ballroom in last year’s competition as they proudly took home the infamous Glitterball.

And it seems the TV presenter has high hopes for her man, as she went and reminded her Instagram followers of their success.

Sharing a picture of them both cuddled up on the sofa, the 32-year-old wrote: ‘Go get ‘em reigning champ. Good luck to the class of 2019.’

Fans were quick to comment, and couldn’t help but coo over the loved up pair.

‘You twoooo! Team Kev all the way!!’ one wrote alongside crying emojis, while another added: ‘Love this photo, and go King Kev.’

Others were more fixated on their relationship, and branded the duo ‘couple goals’.

Rumours of a romance between the A-listers first started when they were coupled up as dance partners.

And while they remained tight lipped about their relationship for months, Stacey offered a brief insight to her love life earlier this year.

When chatting to The Guardian, she said: ‘Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy.

‘That’s why we’ve turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds.’

The pair started dating during their time on the show (Picture: WENN)

The reporter added: ‘What I am happy to say is Kev’s amazing, I’m happy, life happens, I’ve got an amazing career and I’m very lucky.’

When Stacey first met her now boyfriend, she was dating her personal trainer Sam, but called off their three-year-relationship in March 2018.

Sam later claimed that after their split, he discovered messages from Kevin reading ‘I love you’ on Stacey’s phone.

He told The Sun: ‘I was getting my stuff to leave. Stacey was in the loo. Her phone went and it was Kevin Clifton.

‘I grabbed the phone and confronted her. She said she’d tell me everything I needed to know.’

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.

Johnny Galecki has pined over his days in The Big Bang Theory by dropping a throwback to the show’s 100th episode.

Taking to Instagram, the 44-year-old uploaded a picture of himself perched next to Kaley Cuoco as they celebrated the sit-com’s achievement.

The duo were seated alongside their director Mark Cendrowski, who got a special shout out in the caption.

Writing to his three million followers, the Leonard Hofstadter star congratulated his buddy on his Emmy success.

The actor said: ‘#FBF to the 100th episode celebration of @bigbangtheory_cbs w/ currently Emmy nominated resident director, #markcendrowski and day-player, @kaleycuoco.’

He added: ‘Congratulations, Coach. Well deserved. XO.’

Fans were quick to comment, and revealed just how much they missed the iconic programme.

‘Thank you all for such a great show,’ one wrote while another added: ‘Miss you all.’

Someone else said: ‘The 100th episode was one of my favourites and one I like to rewatch. Thanks for sharing this fab picture Johnny.’

But while fans long after the much loved show, it seems Mark might have plans for a spin-off up his sleeve.

He recently told Forbes: ‘At the end of The Big Bang Theory’s run, once we decided to end the show, Chuck Lorre, the creator, was like, “Look not everyone’s involved in this, it’s not a Big Bang episode.”

‘That’s not to say that there may not be something down the line, but I don’t think anyone wanted to jump into the next season and spin someone off immediately.

‘I think the idea of letting things percolate a little, and you don’t want to cash in.’

The 60-year-old added: ‘That doesn’t mean that won’t happen and, in a couple of years, maybe it’s a character or a couple of characters that catch up within a couple of years.

‘Who knows if it will happen. I wouldn’t be a betting man on that, and I don’t know one way or the other.’

The Big Bang Theory is available to stream now on Netflix.

Ant McPartlin gets a little too close to stand-up comedian Preacher Lawson, on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions.

By that, we mean the host quite literally licked his face, while on stage.

Because, why not?

During the America’s Got Talent favourite’s performance, he teases how much he would love the pair to lick his face at some point.

‘If my girl had a chance for Ant and Dec to lick her face and she turned it down, I’m dumping her, because I don’t want to date anyone that stupid,’ he jokes.

‘If I had a chance for Ant and Dec to lick my face, I’m dressing up like an ice-cream cone, do you understand?!’

Ever the hero, Ant decides to make the 28-year-old’s dreams come true after his routine ends.

Because that’s just the kind of gentleman he is.

‘Let’s get this out of the way…,’ he says, while approaching the comic on stage. ‘Come here!’

To everyone’s delight (or confusion), Declan Donnelly’s best pal then proceeds to lick his cheek, causing him to fall on the floor in sheer delight.

‘I’m never washing this side of my face again,’ Preacher yells, while the host adds: ‘You taste good!’

Unfortunately, Dec is the ultimate spoilsport and goes in for a handshake instead.

Way harsh, hun.

But are the judges as impressed with his routine? Or is it more like the lick of death for his time on Britain’s Got Talent?

Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions continues tonight at 8.30pm, on ITV.

Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson makes an emotional return to the show tonight, after being told he would never dance again.

The 26-year-old – who won the series back in 2008 – sustained a painful back injury a year later, with doctors insisting he wouldn’t ever get on stage.

But, ahead of his comeback, he vows there is no way he’s turning his back on his passion.

‘Around a year after winning Britain’s Got Talent I sustained a really bad back injury, and doctors told me I might not ever be able to dance again,’ he tells the camera.

‘To be told bluntly, “No”, was devastating.

‘I’m stubborn. There was no chance I was going to stop dancing. It’s been a long road to recovery but I’ve worked hard and I’m back.

‘This is another two minutes of my life that could change everything, so I’ve given it everything. And you’ll see everything.’

And judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon are full of praise after George’s return.

David brands the dancer the ‘real life Billy Elliot’, while Simon reveals he’s one of his favourite acts to ever take part.

Which is a huge statement.

‘I’m absolutely thrilled you’re here,’ the head judge tells him.

‘For me, I remember so many singing moments on these shows over the years, your performance as a dancer sticks in my mind as one of the most iconic performances after all the years we’ve done these shows.’

But will George impress the audience enough to get through to the next round?

Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions continues tonight at 8.30pm on ITV.

Joe Sugg has been proving he’s the most helpful boyfriend by lending a hand to the Strictly Come Dancing seamstresses and making Dianne Buswell’s dress.

Dancing, vlogging, thatching, singing, acting, and now sewing – is there anything that lad can’t do?

The YouTube star, who has been reminiscing on his experience on the show by trying to recreate all his dances, could be seen slaving over the dress in Dianne’s video.

With the pro dancer showing off the label with her name, her boyfriend warned: ‘If this doesn’t look right now for the night, that’s your own fault.’

Ah, young love.

Meanwhile, the Aussie dancer revealed she’s getting her hair done for the performance hours before the show airs as she shared an interesting angle of herself.

‘Terrible angle but hair has commenced,’ she told fans on her Instagram Stories.

We’re so ready to see the show’s resident Little Mermaid strutting her stuff.

Dianne will be dancing the Foxtrot to Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations with her celeb partner, Dev Griffin.

Despite being loved up with her boyfriend Joe, the 30-year-old recently joked about time being up on their partnership after she found out she would be dancing with the radio presenter.

‘Time’s up,’ Dianne joked to her boyfriend in a video as she sat watching the show sandwiched in-between Joe and Dev.

Joe replied: ‘That’s it, I’m old news.’

‘You’re done but you’re never forgotten,’ Dianne continued, prompting Joe to add: ‘You’ve got a new partner.’

‘My two boys,’ Dianne smiled with Dev beaming on her right.

Meanwhile, the star made it clear how much the show means to her during The Professionals after she broke down in tears.

Making everyone emotional, Dianne said: ‘I remember, my dad flew all the way for my very first dance that I did and he started to cry.

‘It was the best moment because I knew how proud I had made them,’ she continued, prompting Amy Dowden to dab her eyes at Dianne’s heartwarming story.

Stavros Flatley have returned to the Britain’s Got Talent stage for the first time since 2009 in tonight’s show, in a bid to take the Champions title.

And dad Demi Demetriou wastes no time on the stage, as he makes a dig at Simon Cowell’s teeth.

Ermmm, you know you’re trying to impress him, hun?

Following an energetic performance with son Lagi, the dancer tells the crowd: ‘I can’t tell you how much you going mad for us makes us feel,’ he tells the crowd.

‘But I want to say, this show is amazing. We’ve been all over the world, we’ve done things and been places we never thought we’d be, and it’s because of you guys.’

Grinning, he adds: ‘I’ve got to thank my dentist in Pathos! He’s amazing! I have the same teeth as Simon now, look!’

Taking absolutely no offence, Simon shows off his own set of pearly whites while laughing off the joke.

Someone get us the name of that dentist, ASAP.

The duo have become household names after appearing on the ITV show back in 2009.

However, they revealed they were sceptical over taking part in The Champions, because they didn’t want to ruin their legacy.

During an appearance on This Morning, ahead of their BGT return, Demi told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: ‘We’ve danced all over the world, China, Monaco, Germany, Greece, Italy… We’ve been everywhere.

‘We didn’t want to ruin what we’d already done, it was a difficult decision.

‘Obviously Lagi has grown up now, he’s never going to be six foot… He’s got a little beard and tattoos…’

‘We had to really think about it, but we’re so happy we did it,’ he continued. ‘After what’s happened and the performance we did, I don’t think we made a mistake. I know we didn’t.’

But you’ll have to wait to see if Demi’s new smile is enough to get Stavros Flatley into the next round of Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Saffron Barker has admitted she ‘shared too much’ of her life on YouTube as a daily vlogger.

The YouTube star, who’s set to take to the dance floor with pro dancer AJ Pritchard, opened up about the struggles of daily vlogging after confessing that the pressure of YouTube ended up not being healthy for her.

‘I actually started off daily vlogging so I used to film my life everyday and I shared so much, and that just happened so gradually and naturally because I started YouTube from blogging,’ she explained to Metro.co.uk at VidCon London.

‘I think people just got really addicted to watching [the videos]. It’s like watching a reality TV show – you just get obsessed.’

The 19-year-old, who’s following in fellow vlogger Joe Sugg’s footsteps, added: ‘I think because people kept asking for it more and more, it became so natural to me just to pick up my camera and film.

‘I did share so much. Looking back on it, I do think I kind of shared a little bit too much but at the same time, I don’t regret it because there are so many memories as well.’

Saffron pointed out: ‘Now, I’ve gotten a little bit older and I can do other things, I feel like it’s nice to have a bit of a personal life as well as the vlogging.’

With a following of more than two million, the star admitted it can be strange having such a big audience, saying: ‘Sometimes, when people come over to me and they’ll say, for example, “How’s your nan doing?” I have to kind of process it.

‘Obviously you see a number and you don’t actually realise how many people are watching.’

She confessed: ‘It is weird because sometimes people, when they come up to me, are so kind and everything else but they’re talking to me as if they know me and I know nothing about them. It is really hard to try and speak to someone because what can I ask them?

‘At the same time, it is really nice and everyone’s always really kind and polite as well and the people who know me the most are the people that watch me and technically love me the most.’

Despite clearly being thrilled about appearing on the show, the YouTuber has been open about the realities of training – including that one time she fell flat on her face.

Nevertheless, documenting her rehearsals with AJ on social media, she already looks to be smashing it.

Go get ’em, girl.

Strictly Come Dancing kicks off tonight, on BBC One, at 7pm.

Seriously. The 29-year-old, who was unable to find love in the villa is now hoping to return to our screens, and we need to make this happen.

When chatting to Female First, the A&E doctor opened up about his career and how he’d like to take on a new challenge.

He explained: ‘I’m A Celebrity, Bear Grylls, those are the kind of things I feel are challenges and things I’d like to tick off, so why not?’

And this isn’t the only show he’d want to go on, as Alex revealed he’d also be up for Strictly Come Dancing.

Since leaving the popular dating competition, he has sparked a relationship with Ibiza Weekender star Amelia Bath.

And it seems she might come in handy if he ever made it onto the ballroom.

‘Amelia’s a dancer,’ he told the publication: ‘So she would be very good at teaching me for Strictly. I’d definitely consider Strictly, yeah of course I would.’

The pair announced their relationship at the start of the year with a loved up snap, and they’ve only gone from strength-to-strength.

However, when serving them up, the dessert crumbled on the plates, seeing him leave the competition.

‘Not enough dates,’ he muttered to himself before adding: ‘I think a couple more dates would have made the difference actually.’

Treasure Island with Bear Grylls continues Sunday, on Channel 4 at 9pm.

Reese Witherspoon really wants to join the Stranger Things cast.

The Netflix phenomenon has caught the eye of the Big Little Lies star and she wants to know whether they’re hiring for the next series.

She shared a photo of herself posing next to Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp, captioning it: ‘Hey #strangerthings… are y’all hiring for a fourth season?!

‘So much love for these kiddos and their show. Can you guess who I’m rooting for this weekend? #TBT #Emmys’

Stranger Things – an epic sci-fi thriller based in the 80s – also stars Winona Ryder and Finn Wolfhard.

After the crazy finale of Big Little Lies, we wouldn’t mind seeing Reese’s talent alongside the monster-fighting teens of Hawkin, Indiana.

The actress, 43, is probably joking about her decision to join the Netflix show, but that won’t stop us from dreaming.

With how busy her schedule is, there’s no way she’d be able to add the series to her list of accomplishments.

She will be starring in The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carrell, in what continues to be Apple TV Plus’ main marketing tool.

The show is currently in post-production and will premiere later this year..

Furthermore, Reese is also starring in Little Fires Everywhere, which is filming now and set to premiere in 2020.

Even if we don’t get to see her with our favourite TV teens, she is still Elle Woods after all.

Legally Blonde is returning for a third movie, with Reese reprising her role as Elle, and we can’t wait to see her as the lawyer she always wanted to be.

Even with all that she’s accomplished, she still has trouble with rejection like the rest of us.

She once cried ‘ugly tears’ (her words, not ours) for three whole days, after being turned down from a movie that she had so desperately wanted a part in.

Turns out the big male star involved (Reese decided against naming and shaming) decided he didn’t want her starring alongside him and picked another actress instead.

She told fans: ‘So many stories on Instagram focus on success, but sometimes it’s important to remember that rejection or failure can really be a great help in our lives.

‘When I first started as an actor, I went on an audition for a part that i wanted more than ANYTHING. This was an incredible movie with a huge male movie star as the lead.

‘I had 3 callbacks, then a screen test and one day my agent called and said, “You didn’t get the part, the lead actor liked working with the other actress more.”

‘Oh boy, did I cry. Ugly tears. For 3 whole days,’ she confessed, before pointing out: ‘But I recovered. And I got a different job. It wasn’t the same and I never watched that movie (!) but I learned so much from that experience.’

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston stole our hearts when they appeared in the HBO series, Breaking Bad.

And while their onscreen chemistry has won over hundreds of fans, it seems they are just as close away from the cameras.

So close that the Walter White star thought he could pull one heck of a cruel prank on his buddy.

When chatting to The Hollywood Reporter, Aaron recalled the time the 63-year-old made him believe his character Jesse Pinkman had been written out of the script.

He told the publication: ‘[Bryan] would say, “Hey, did you read the next script?” And I’d go, “Nah, did you get it?” And he’s like, “Oh.” And he just would give me this big hug.’

The star added: ‘I was honestly, utterly devastated [because] I thought I was signing onto, like, a full series.’

Bryan would then troll his pal even more by saying: ‘Hey man, you know, it had to end sometime, but at least you go out, like, guns blazing.’

But it seems Aaron’s much loved role is here to stay, as he’s even been called back to take part in the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino.

The upcoming film picks up after the season five finale, where Jesse escaped his white supremacist captors in a Chevrolet El Camino and drove to freedom.

Aaron will make a comeback in the upcoming Breaking Bad movie (Picture: AMC)

And it’s been confirmed that 10 familiar faces will return from the original series.

‘El Camino centers on what happens to Jesse after he drives out of that compound covered in physical and psychological scars, and it features more than 10 familiar characters from the show,’ reports claim.

Three of these places are taken up already by the confirmed Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Skinny Pete (Charles Baker), and Brandon ‘Badger’ Mayhew (Matt Jones).

This leaves the door wide open for the return of Skyler White (Anna Gunn), Marie Schrader (Betsy Brandt), and Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk).

Although some fans are hoping that Walt will make some kind of comeback – despite his tragic end.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie releases 11 October on Netflix.

Strictly’s Katya Jones is living for ex-husband Neil’s first show with celeb partner Alex Scott

Strictly Come Dancing’s Katya Jones has proved she’s still best buds with her ex-husband Neil as she cheered him on for his first show with a celeb partner.

So sweet!

The Russian pro dancer posted a video to her Instagram Stories of the pair getting their hair done together.

With Neil waving in the background, Katya cheered: ‘Yay! First show!’

After fans urged the producers to let Neil have a celeb partner, it was revealed that this would be his year as he was partnered up with footballer Alex Scott.

The pair already look to be getting on like a house on fire, giggling away as they practiced their week one dance – the quickstep.

Katya, meanwhile, is set to take to the Strictly dance floor with sports presenter Mike Bushell as the pair take on the jive.

Neil’s first series with a celeb partner comes just weeks after he split from Katya following 11 years together.

It was later claimed that the couple ‘found it impossible to get back on track’ after she was seen kissing Seann Walsh during last year’s series when the pair both had partners.

A source told The Sun: ‘The infidelity highlighted problems within the relationship and made it impossible for them to get back on track.’

They added: ‘They are determined not to let their split affect Strictly as it’s their main source of income.

‘They’re being guided by how Kevin and Karen Clifton handled their split.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Wo0nZAWlz/

However, a spokeswoman for the former couple said the controversy had nothing to do with their decision to split, adding that the pair are ‘incredibly close’ and will continue to dance together, both on Strictly and their separate projects.

She said: ‘It would be incorrect and unfair to attribute their separation to one isolated incident.

‘Many people make such a decision to separate when they realise that their relationship has become more of a friendship.

‘They remain the very best of friends and will continue to dance together.’

Gogglebox star Giles may have to watch his back after he made he suggested nothing cultural has come from Birmingham in the last few years.

The armchair critic was watching Peaky Blinders with his wife Mary when he joked: ‘The last thing to come out of Birmingham before this was Jasper Carrot.’

Joe Lycett, Giles? The Streets? Adrian Chiles?

Locals weren’t too impressed with the jab though, with one threatening to send the Peaky Blinders boys round to Giles’ house if he didn’t behave himself.

‘Oh Giles. There’s been a few things between Jasper and Peakys, you know,’ retorted one fan while another added: ‘Bloody Giles disrespecting #Birmingham! I will be sending the #PeakyBlinders round to see you if you don’t behave yourself…’

Giles joke came in the same episode that fans of the show were left disgusted after Ellie Warner admitted she and her friends made up a ‘tag’ game called #MeToo.

Viewers expressed their disgust when Ellie and her sister Izzie talked about the last time they had played the playground game ‘tag’, with Ellie admitting she had recently played a modified version of the game.

The adult version of the game involved her and her friends chasing each other around and grabbing each other’s ‘boobs or bum’ and calling out ‘me too’ when caught.

Fans took to Twitter to rant about her problematic game, writing: ‘Can’t actually believe that woman on Gogglebox taking the p**s of the Me Too movement with her pals, chasing and grabbing each other’s breasts and shouting “me too” whenever they caught each other.’

Another added: ‘Ellie making a “joke” about the me too movement… after the way she treated her dog, why is she still on?’

Never mind the Strictly Come Dancing curse, I’m proud of my husband Chris Ramsey

This may come as a genuine shock to you but it was actually me who forced my husband to say yes to the show (Picture credit: BACKGRID/NIJO)

As you all will be aware (unless you live under some sort of non-social media rock) Strictly Come Dancing is starting and my darling husband, Chris Ramsey, is taking part.

Finally, something to look forward to of a weekend, other than a distinct lack of lie-ins and hungover soft play visits – which believe me are not in any way shape or form enjoyable.

I say, bring It on.

‘Rosie’, I hear you all cry. ‘What about *gasp* the curse?’ I can see the horror, shock, screaming and fainting now.

Now, strap in. This may come as a genuine shock to you but it was actually me who forced my husband to say yes to the show.

Ok, I get it. I’ve watched the show. I’m aware that over the course of the last 16 series there have been a few instances of dalliances between the cast here and there.

But can I just ask you something? Honestly, have you ever worked somewhere where people are not having affairs?

What about office gossip that such and such from accounts is sleeping with such and such from HR? Unfortunately, it happens everywhere.

Someone is always sleeping with someone they shouldn’t be. Fact.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qp4m9F1Wz/

‘But Rosie…the curse?’ I hear you ask again. Yes. I know. I am fully aware of ‘The Curse’, I’m also aware that it’s been given its own special name.

How utterly delightful…

Now, I trust my husband and understand that he interacts with members of the opposite sex daily, as I do.

I cannot control him. I can only, like everyone else in a relationship, hope that our marriage never goes down that path, be it by him or myself.

Right. Now we’ve got that bit out of my system and the way, I’ve been doing a bit of research.

Strictly Come Dancing averages approximately 9.2million viewers each week. Which is insane!

I can’t even begin to imagine how Chris is going to feel each week knowing that that many people are watching him dance. Which, let me just tell you, is not something that comes naturally to him.

Chris Ramsey on Strictly Come Dancing

I mean God love him, he tries, but he’s definitely not been blessed with natural rhythm, if you know what I mean.

Thankfully though, what Chris has been blessed with is the ability to be good at things he has never done before.

He is one of those people who can watch someone do something a few times then copy with perfect form. Irritating – yes – but also extremely impressive.

He also possesses an incredible memory, which is great for when you need to find things around the house. However, not so great for the morning after a drunken row and he’s remembered every single word you’ve said.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZmFw7l20T/

Honestly, I’m expecting great things from Chris on the show, I can’t wait to watch from home with our little boy Robin.

I know he’ll give his all and I know he’ll not stop practicing until he’s perfected every single move.

He has asked if I’ll help him with his routines at home, as I have some previous dance experience (not much might I add).

I’ve told him under no circumstances will I help him with his routines. You see, although Chris is a great learner but he’s a terrible student.

I mean forget the curse, I’d end up divorcing him over a flipping Tango. Good luck to his dance partner, that’s what I say.

Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher thought Strictly Come Dancing call was an Ant and Dec prank

mmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has admitted he thought the call for Strictly Come Dancing was an Ant and Dec prank.

Kelvin stepped in for the BBC One show after Jamie Laing was forced to pull out over an injury but he has now revealed that he wasn’t expecting the call because as far as he was aware, he wasn’t ‘on any list’.

‘I wasn’t expecting it at all. I wasn’t on a replacement list, I wasn’t on any list so I was completely, completely out of the blue,’ he told Mark Wright on Heart FM on Friday.

‘Even when we started on the Thursday I got rushed down there, met the producers, had a medical, and I kept saying to them “I feel like Ant and Dec are gonna jump out with a film crew”.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2gUvouFhMg/

But no it was real life, and Kelvin will be taking to the dancefloor on Saturday night partnered with Oti Mabuse.

He went on to add that although he was ‘ecstactic’ to be asked to be on the show he also felt ‘guilty’ because it came at the expense of Jamie’s dreams to be on the show.

‘It was a really strange feeling because I almost felt guilty about being excited and being really chuffed to do it because you know some poor guy there was absolutely gutted that he was injured and couldn’t do it,’ he added before suggesting that dancing made him feel ‘vulnerable’.

‘I know people use that word all the time but it does kind of feel like a journey already.’

There is no particular theme for the first show, although the celebrities and their partners will each be performing a routine to a popular song with the hopes of a good first impression.

All of the pairings’ songs and dances were previously unveiled earlier in the week, with AJ and Saffron set to take on the Tango to the Meghan Trainor hit Lips Are Movin’. Strictly Come Dancing kicks off tonight at 7PM on BBC One.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.

A brand new crime-drama landed on Netflix on Friday 20 September, starring the likes of David Tenant and Hayley Atwell.

Criminal is made up of three episodes, and takes place entirely in the interrogation room of a prison.

The Netflix show has garnered a lot of buzz, but will it be coming back for more?

Will Criminal have more episodes on Netflix?

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it seems unlikely that a hit show would stop at just three episodes.

Talking to Cosmopolitan, showrunners Jim Field Smith and George Kay said: ‘We hope there will be more, we’re talking about it at the minute.’

They went on to add: ‘We hope to bring this arena to more people [worldwide], because that’s how I think the show can evolve and keep breathing.

‘We’d love to do more UK episodes, but until we see how people react to this show we’re not 100% sure what to do next. We’re still delivering it right now.’

Who is in the Criminal UK cast?
