Bookmaker William Hill has slated Celebrity Big Brother star Stacy Francis as the “worst” and thinks she’s ready to be evicted from the house. The singer was nominated along with housemates Austin Armacost, James Cosmo, Angie Best and Ray J.
A spokesperson for the bookies, Rupert Adams said,
“CBB is often full of ‘celebrities’ that few have heard of, but in Stacy Francis you perhaps have a new low,
“We are convinced she will get her marching orders.”
The co-hosts of the BBC’s Pointless aren’t together as a gay couple despite fans of the shows insisting that they act like they’re in a relationship together.

It seems fans of Pointless cannot get enough of the bants between Richard Osman and Alexander Armstrong. Fans absolutely love the relationship so much they’re reading it like the duo are a gay couple.
However, speaking Radio Times, Richard Osman said, “We’re not lovers. Try as I might, it has just never happened.”
So it looks as though the pair are just living a bromance.

Richard has, in the past, written about the joking between the presenters and that it added to the “Brokeback Mountain-style sexual frisson of the show”.
Both presenters identify as straight and recently, Richard was said to be dating radio DJ and deputy editor of InStyle magazine, Emily Dean. He split with the mother of his two children a number of years ago.

Alexander is married to Hannah Bronwen Snow, an events organiser; and together they have four sons.
They are arguably the funniest thing on Channel 4. Affectionately dubbed the “Gogglebox Gays”, Chris and Stephen won the hearts of the nation in that first series and despite chops and changes to the programme they’ve managed to prove they’ve got staying power. We caught up with Brighton local Chris Steed to talk Space Docking, Cher’s retirement to a garden centre and the strangest thing he’s ever heard about himself.

DUO: CHRIS is on the right.
JH: What should Cher do next?
CHRIS: Oh, god. Oh well, Finally retire. She’s been retiring for the last ten years! I mean what do most people do when they actually retire from something? Join the National Trust and start going to garden centres like most people that retire do.
JH: Okay, which one of the Village People, do you think would be best in bed?
CHRIS: Oh, I would probably say the policeman. I’ll tell you why they’ve got a bit of authority, haven’t they? I always like a man in uniform. Maybe they could get the handcuffs out.
JH: How do you feel about men in onesies?
CHRIS: Oh I love a onesie. I’ve got a onesie. I definitely like a man in a onesie. One zip and it’s all off.
JH: Are you a Zip Up or A Zip Down?
CHRIS: Ooh, I think a zip down is nicer actually because you kind of work yourself down to the main bit. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I’d say a zip downer. It’s nice to see the chest first and then sort of down to, you know, the main bits.
JH: What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever bought, apart from a house or a car?
CHRIS: I did go on a shopping spree to Paris. I went shopping in Louis Vuitton and I ended up spending an absolute fortune so that was quite outrageous and then after I’d finished shopping at Louis Vuitton, because they gave me so much champagne, I decided to go get into a French taxi and they took me to Dolce and Gabbana and I ended up spending a fortune in there. That’s quite outrageous. I’ve worn everything and I’ve used everything apart from a three thousand pound suit that I bought. It’s teal. I’m going to use that for my wedding. I’m going to get married.
JH: Is there actually a date planned for that yet?
CHRIS: Yes, it’s July the eighth.
JH: Will the hubby to be, be wearing something that matches the teal?
CHRIS: He did turn around and say to me, “Because you just spent three thousand pounds on a Dolce and Gabbana suit, does that mean I get a Dolce and Gabbana suit for the wedding?” I said, “If you pay for it, of course.”

JH: Tell me, do you know what space docking is?
CHRIS: Space docking. No, idea. Is it something to do with iPads or something? I have no idea what space docking is. Are you going to tell me what space docking is?
JH: I’ll tell you what it is. Do you want me to tell you what it is? I mean you can’t unhear it (we explain what space docking is)…
CHRIS: Basically one man would insert his helmet into the other man’s foreskin? That’s horrible and pointless.
JH: What’s the strangest thing you’ve read about yourself?
CHRIS: The strangest thing, well I wouldn’t say the strangest thing, I would say the most problematic thing was the fact that Wikipedia phoned up Stephen one time and said, “Oh we just wanted to check, because we’re doing your stuff for Wikipedia, and we wanted to know what your ages are?” He made out that I was older than him. Cheeky f**ker. Because I’m five years younger than him and then I’m sure he said that he was like forty and that I was forty-six or something. I don’t really know if they’ve changed it on Wikipedia because it’s a lie. That’s probably the most outrageous thing that I’ve been made out to be older than I actually am.
JH: We’re going to have a bit of a marry, snog and avoid situation, forgetting obviously that you’re going to get married. Boy George, George Michael and Elton John.
CHRIS: Oh, god. I would snog Boy George, I would marry George Michael and I would avoid Elton!
JH: Well that’s you o the Christmas card list, isn’t it? When he reads that.
CHRIS: Funny that you say snog, marry, avoid cause me and Stephen play a game and it’s called, Lick, Suck, Screw.
JH: Okay, well let’s try that then. Let’s see, let’s pick the leaders of the political parties in the UK. We’ve got Theresa May, we’ve got Jeremy Corbyn, and the other one is Tim Farron for Lib Dems.
CHRIS: Oh my god.
JH: Well, you brought it up!
CHRIS: Oh no. I don’t want to do any of them.
JH: Go on, Theresa May needs to know!
CHRIS: Oh we have to lick Theresa May, probably screw Jeremy Corbyn…
JH: and suck Tim? Brilliant! You see, you’re never going to bring that up again are you!

The boy’s new book We Need To Talk is out now available from Amazon from £7.48
He’s become the mainstay of The Voice UK – pretty much like Louis Walsh is to X Factor but what do we know about the talent judge that is will.i.am
Is will.i.am gay?
Will.i.am is extraordinarily private about his love life and has complained that he’s too busy with work to find love. He has spoken up for gay rights in the past. He was pro-gay marriage saying, “People should be able to marry and be with who they want, and let’s focus on the real issues… which are education, health and the things that kill people.” He once released a song which included lyrics about same-sex love. He said, “That song is for all types of people… People have been showing love.”
So he’s a pretty big earner and some sources have his net worth down for $75 million. He will have earned his money through TV appearances, but also from song royalties. He had a writing and producer credit for the massive worldwide hits, “Where Is The Love”, “Shut Up” and of course “I Gotta Feeling” which is one of the world’s biggest selling singles of all time.
Most awkward selfie moment
According to The Mirror a man once took a selfie with the star when they were in the toilet… peeing. He said, “I’ve been in the restroom, the dude next to me is peeing and he takes one hand off to get his phone out for a selfie. Yes, that’s happened.”
How old is will.i.am
will.i.am is 41-year-old in 2016. He was born on March 15th, 1975.
Is will.i.am British?
He was born William James Adams in Eastside California, USA. He was brought up in the Estrada Courts housing projects in the Boyle Heights neighbourhood. He never knew his father, he was raised by his mother. Although he spends a lot of time in the UK, William is American. In fact, he’s a bit of an international being. Apparently, according to the man himself he flies around 1,9200,000 miles a year and is never in a place longer than 10 days – even when he’s filming The Voice.
He apparently has over zealous PR people!
In a feature in The Telegraph in April 2016, Harry Wallop said that he was handed three sides of a4 paper, by will.i.am’s PR people entitled ‘Tips for maximising your interview time with will.i.am’. The tips informed Harry that he shouldn’t discuss the musician’s income or net worth and included the advice, “If he asks you to repeat or restate a question, this indicates that you need to ask crisper, more direct questions”. When Harry told Will about the tip sheet, Will had no idea!
William Baker has had one of life’s dream jobs. He’s the celebrated artistic director to the stars and can call Kylie his BFF but in a revealing interview, he speaks about how he felt invisible when he turned 40.

William Baker has revealed that turning 40 was a difficult moment for him because he felt he turned invisible almost overnight, despite being in one of the most enviable positions any gay man could be in. After all, he has Kylie on speed dial.
Speaking to THEGAYUK.com about his new project Book of Igor, a picture book of beautiful, thoughtful photos of a 20-year-old man called Igor, whom he found on Instagram. The conversation turned to age and ageism.
“Such a big part of doing the book was how I felt. I can say this now, from a distance about how I felt as a gay man at 40. It’s so funny that you literally just become invisible overnight.
“Probably to the wrong people…”
The book, which was released in December, explores the beauty of youth through a series of candid shots of William’s muse, Igor. William followed Igor, who identifies as heterosexual, for over a year, forming a strong friendship with the 20-year-old, but also found an even stronger love from behind the lens.

SUBJECT IN SIGHT: The book, which is William’s fourth, features 115 glossy pages, with images of Igor, whom William spent 18 months photographing.
Speaking about his love life, William revealed,
“I’m single. I haven’t found a kind of life-partner or whatever. When you walk down on Compton Street you kind of turn heads at a certain age. Even on those apps. You become invisible.
“That’s why everyone lies about their age, isn’t it?”
Together, William and Igor travelled from Ilford in Essex to Los Angeles to Fire Island to create images for the book. It is available to purchase from William’s shop.
Milo Yiannopoulos has been named by LGBTQ Nation as “Person of The Year”, a vote which was decided by the publication’s readers.

The controversial right-wing figurehead for America’s youth, Milo Yiannopoulos, has been named a “Person of The Year” by the popular online publication LGBTQ nation.
It said,
“After a concerted effort to drum up votes via social media, conservative media gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos has won the title” causing uproar amongst some of its readers.
He topped the poll which saw the Pulse Victims, Mike Pence and Ellen Degeneres also named as nominees for the honour.
An article explaining the win said,
“The LGBTQ Nation Person of the Year contest is a reader driven poll to select the year’s top newsmaker. While the poll was intended for our regular audience, there were no stipulations on who could or couldn’t vote. Therefore, Milo Yiannopoulos won fair and square.”
The news did not go down well with the magazine’s readers, who blasted the publication for Milo’s inclusion.
One wrote,
“So you put this monster in your poll, ignore your regular readers saying that the poll has been hacked by breitbart and 4chan trolls and must be taken down and now give it more attention by interviewing it.”
Whilst another said he’d be unfollowing,
“I said I would unfollow you if this hateful transphobic racist got awarded for his ignorance, hope anyone else who has a problem with this does the same”
LGBTQ Nation is owned by Q Digital who also own Queerty and GayCities.
Milo took to Facebook to thank his fans for their support, simply saying “nick work, gang”.
It looks as though he might be the latest male celebrity to be a victim of an online hack or leak. Following the leaks of Sam Callahan, Jake Quickenden and Shayne Ward.
He’s not the only Celebrity Big Brother celeb to have a Skype sex session leaked onto the internet whilst in the house. In 2014 Lee Ryan became a victim of a hack.
We recently spoke to Phil Gorski at Blacks Solicitors about what steps you can take to protect your data and your private pictures if you become a victim of hacked data or revenge porn. Read his tips here but number one is to not TRUST anyone over the internet and don’t get naked in front of a camera attached to the internet.
The ever bubbly Jedward have been making headlines since their discovery on X Factor in 2009… But what do we know about the twins?
Are the Jedward brothers gay?
In 2011 brothers Edward and John insisted that they weren’t gay and they are attracted to women. They hit out over speculation that their OTT and flamboyant performance style made some fans think the duo were gay. The brothers maintain that they “like lots of girls” revealing that they don’t care what people think about them or about their sexuality.
What is Jedward’s net worth?
The brothers had a combined net worth reported to be €6 million in 2013. Of course, it’s impossible to know exactly how much they’re worth. In 2016 it was reported that their company Planet Jedward was in debt to the tune of hundreds of thousands of euros. It has been suggested that they are the fifth most financially successful X Factor finalists after Leona Lewis, Little Mix, JLS and Alexandra Burke,
Did they fall out with Louis Walsh?
Louis has stated that he considers Jedward his most embarrassing career move. Speaking to Woman’s Own the music manager said the twins who appeared in 2009’s series of X FACTOR were his most embarrassing career move, despite championing them and praising them highly on the show. They came sixth on the show and have had a relatively successful career. They’ve released three albums and even represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest. They hit back saying, “We are always striving forward, he’ll be in the old people’s home soon so it’s all good.” OUCH!
Where did Jedward place in Eurovision
Jedward represented Ireland in the 2011 and 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, with the songs “Lipstick” and “Waterline”. It has to be said that “Lipstick” was pretty darn catchy. They placed 8th in 2011, compared to the UK’s entry by Blue which came 11th. In 2012 the boys came 19th with just 46 points.
How old are Jedward?
The twins were born in 1991 in October which makes them in their mid-twenties. They were born in Dublin.
How can you tell Edward and John apart?
So this a big cause of debate among their fans, however, it seems as though John has a rounder face and scar on the left side of his nose he has overlapping front teeth. Edward apparently smiles with his eyes and has a scar on his lip and is slightly taller than his brother. They released a video to help viewers work out the differences.
What did Simon Cowell think about Jedward
Simon branded the twins “not very good and incredibly annoying” and they divided the viewers at home too. They appeared in the same series as Danyl Johnson.
So a reader asked our sexual health experts about a stinging pain whenever he pees. What could it be?
If you’ve ever experienced a stinging sensation down below whenever you’ve peed, you’ll know it really isn’t a great feeling and it can be a worry too. So what could it be?
However, it isn’t all bad news, Nitin continues, “There are different types of STIs and some, if caught early, are easy to treat with antibiotics. Chlamydia is the most common STI in England and can be treated with antibiotics.
What are the infections that cause stinging whilst peeing?
So according to webmd.com stinging whilst you urinate could be caused by: genital herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhoea. But stinging could also be a symptom of other problems such as kidney stones, diabetes, having an enlarged prostate, or a Urinary Tract Infection UTI – which is caused by bacteria in the urinary tract.
Cystitis can also cause pain during urination although women are more likely to be affected by this than men. It’s caused by inflammation of the bladder caused by a bladder infection. Those infections are caused by certain bacteria – like those found in your poo.
What should I do if it burns when I pee?
The best thing to do is make an appointment where you can be tested for STIs. This can be done at a sexual health clinic, genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic or GP surgery. Some people prefer the privacy of buying a
Fadi has been speaking with the police to help piece together the final hours of the former Wham! megastar. Police confirmed that there was no suspicion that Fadi has any connection to George’s death. It has been reported that Fadi was sleeping in his car Christmas eve and found the singer in bed on the morning of the 25th. He had passed away “peacefully”.
In the immediate aftermath, of the singer’s death, a number of messages sent from a social media account of Fadi suggested that George had committed suicide. Fadi has stated that the account was “hacked”.

Nom, nom, nom…extra eating: During the winter and especially over the festive season we typically eat more than we would normally and exercising is a great way to burn those extra calories and keep yourself in shape so when spring finally arrives you’re in tip top shape! Here are some tips to help you beat the Christmas flab!
1. Keep a fitness journal!
A workout log can help keep your exercise routine on track when you’re struggling to stay motivated because it will show you how far you’ve come since you started, and therefore how worthwhile it is to keep going.
2. Commit yourself.
Get moving! Just do it! There is no time like the start of a New Year. You’ve got the indulgences of Christmas behind but it’s important you commit. Why not write all the classes you can attend in your diary so they are viewed as actual appointments and you’re less likely to cancel.
3. Set short-term goals
Having something specific to aim for, such as losing a certain amount of weight or entering a race / marathon for example the Major Series (www.majorseries.com) in the Spring will help you stick to your training plan. But make sure your goals are achievable. Setting and failing to reach outlandish targets will put you off.
4. Find the fun in it
Exercise should not feel like torture. After all, you have made a conscious decision to do it. You can take great pleasure from overcoming challenges and progressing with your fitness alongside other people.
Does that mean that it will be easy? No. In order to change your body, you need to experience ‘overload’. This means that you need to keep challenging your body in order to increase your fitness levels. You will however improve your fitness levels if you rest and recover properly after each workout.
5. Reward yourself
Once you’ve hit one of your targets reward yourself. By training and committing to your training you’ve earned the right to spoil yourself. Whether it’s a new item of clothing or fitness-related gadgets or clothing – enjoy your achievements.
6. Use visualisation
If you don’t believe that you can do that final burpee or make it through those final reps, you certainly won’t be able to but by picturing yourself doing it before you try it, you’ll create a mental template that can translate into success.
7. Eating right
Food is 90% of the health and fitness battle. You can make great changes just through making small adjustments to your eating habits alone. While changing any habits may seem like a daunting task, there is a wealth of resources available to guide you. By eating a regular mix of proteins, fats and carbohydrates you will reap the benefits of your physical training routine. You will have both the energy to perform and the nutritional foundations needed for recovery. This exercise and nutrition relationship will help you to achieve your goals
8. Be realistic
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Unfortunately, while over-used, there is some truth in that saying.
A healthy approach is to aim to improve on yesterday. By repeating this process you will start to feel like you have made great improvements over a course of weeks, months and years. It is also important to consider where you want to be.
9. There is gain without pain!
While exercise should be challenging in order to encourage the body to adapt and therefore improve, it should not lead to any injuries.
Many people, particularly those new to exercise can become over enthusiastic because of the physical changes that they experience. Our bodies can only truly complete exercises at 100% intensity for a number of seconds. Exercises completed over the course of an hour-long session are performed below maximum intensity. You should therefore focus more on your technique and try to work as hard as possible but not push yourself to the point of nausea.
10. Abandon an all-or-nothing attitude
Don’t think of exercise with an all-or-nothing approach. If you unexpectedly miss a session, don’t beat yourself up. Just get back on track tomorrow. Remember; exercise and fitness is a way of life, it’s not a destination.
