If there’s one thing Lauren Goodger loves on social media - besides a full-blown selfie session that is - it’s a good old inspirational quote.

In between ever-so-slightly-filtered photos of herself, either pouting away for her camera and having a good laugh on nights out, you can find quotes littered all over The Goodge’s Instagram account, whether they’re pearls of wisdom from great minds, motivational mantras to get you moving on in your life or just rants about men.

Lauren’s penchant for a witty word or two has even landed her in trouble on more than one occasion, with accusations she’s using her Instagram to hit out at her ex-fiancé Mark Wright, despite her protestations to the contrary (even though all evidence would point to that being the case…).

17 Times Nikki Grahame Has Been Amazing on 'Big Brother's Timewarp'

$

Nikki Grahame is my favourite Big Brother housemate of all time. I love her voice, her tantrums, and her use of words like "buxom" and "sharnt." I love how incensed, impassioned and over excited she gets about everything. I still quote her if it's too cold ("It's SOOO COOOLD") and it's impossible to ask "Who is she?" without breaking into the infamous Nikki diary room rant. Her relationship with punk Pete Bennett was completely unlikely but became one of the best reality TV romances ever, as we watched her fall for him and pursue him until he was hers. I also love how genuine she is. Yes she can change her mind and things can quickly go from funny to theatrics but she is true to herself. Since Big Brother 7 (2006) she has had her own reality show (Princess Nikki), won a National TV Award, written two autobiographies and was robbed of the Ultimate Housemate title by Brian Dowling. Now she's back in the house for Big Brother's Timewarp, still fabulous, still Nikki. Here are 17 times she's been magnificent in the house.

1. Her affection for Nick... "You're a simple little squirrel!" and "Oh sweetie pie, he's a swan!"

2. Her desires... "Now that I'm in my 30s I just want sex all of the time"

3. Her fears... "I'd love to go to space" (Nick: Would you be frightened?) "Frightened of the aliens"

4. When she packed absolutely perfectly into Joel's suitcase until Big Brother said she had to get out immediately.

5. When Brian Belo told her he used to fancy her... "Ohhaww I wish you hadn't told me that Brian!"

6. Her amazing face when ex-boyfriend and housemate Pete Bennett appeared and kissed her to try to distract her in the task and her giggle when he said "see you on the outside baby!" Can they PLEASE get back together?

7. When she threw a classic screeching Nikki tantrum whilst being pelted with fish and feathers in a task.

8. The post-task rant in the diary room... "I'm emotionally destroyed and scarred for life"

9. Where she'd like to be in 10 years... "Living in paris, married with french babies and with a swan of a husband"

10. Her refusal to do any household tasks... "I would wash up but I'm just the guest so it seems pointless" and later "Never would I touch that washing up! I haven't lifted a finger since I've been in here and I don't intend on doing it now"

11. On future employment... "I do need to get a job really... I do need a career, I want to do neuroscience"

12. Her birthday song to Nick... "Nicolas Henderson you are the one, a simple special beautiful swan!"

13. When Big Brother told her she needed to smile and be courteous at all times in her role as waitress. Nikki told the house "I hate you all."

14. Her portrait of Nick inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey.

15. Her constant referral the Harry as "a seawitch"

16. When she gave Nick a hand massage... "He said my hands were like silk"

17. That Joel has basically fallen in love with her, despite the 14 year age gap and that "when she was 18, I was four"

He was convicted for carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct in the Christmas Day barroom fight.

Judge Paul Malloy also sentenced the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star to 15 months probation.

Dustin said after the hearing that the experience was “the most terrifying” of his life.

"I sincerely apologize to everyone involved," he said, according to AP.

"This was the single most terrifying experience of my life ... This is all I've been able to think about for the last six months."

Dustin was cleared of a felony charge in May, after he claimed he accidentally stabbed the man during a fight, having been carrying the weapon “for protection”.

He said last month: "I figured it would take the fight out of the people. Casey [Smet, the stabbing victim] didn’t even know he was injured, so how would I?”

He is expected to report to jail on Sunday (28 June).

Carol Smillie, Former ‘Changing Rooms' Host, Opens Up About Incontinence Struggle On ‘This Morning'

Former ‘Changing Rooms’ host Carol Smillie has opened up about her experiences with incontinence.

The presenter has revealed that she is one of six million sufferers in the UK who have problems with bladder control.

Speaking on ‘This Morning’, Carol told host Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden that she first started suffering from incontinence in her 40s, first wetting herself while playing on a trampoline with her children.

Carol Smillie on 'This Morning'


“It’s a cliche, but I do remember going on the trampoline with the kids, saying ‘I don’t want to be one of those mothers sat on the side, I don’t want to be known as being boring’ and trampolining is quite a severe action that you’re doing.

“I don’t normally trampoline, I just wanted to be a cool mum! But thought [when it happened] ‘I’ll be back in a minute’ and worse it was in a bikini and I legged it and didn’t really think about it after that - just thought I’d read about it and that’s clearly the stage I’m at.”

She continued: “But if I’ve got a heavy cold or something and I blow my nose too often…[it can happen]. But I never thought to go to my GP, I thought I don’t like to bother him,

"I thought it’s not really that serious, it doesn’t really affect me every day - it’s only in those situations with a cold and I will not be going on a trampoline again.”

Carol has now set up her own business supplying pants with a secret wash-proof panel to women who also suffer with the problem.

“The more I talk to women about it because I’m in business now, about what goes on with women below their waist… we joke about it, but it’s actually not that funny,” she said.

“For many women it can be very debilitating.”

Carol found fame on 90s DIY show 'Changing Rooms'


Carol was joined on the sofa by Dr Chris Steele, who explained how the condition occurs.

“If you think of your bladder as an inverted pyramid, and the point of your pyramid is resting on your pelvic floor, like a hammock of muscles and they are supporting your bladder and bowels and all your internal organs,” he said.

“But of course when you’re pregnant with a heavy baby, that is a lot of stress put on the muscles, and those muscles fibres can get torn and weakened, and childbirth, getting older, menopause.”

However, he was quick to point out that it doesn’t just come to women with age.

“20 percent of women with this condition are aged under 30. It's a medical taboo for many women, many not even telling their partner,” he said.

Calum Best is to return to ‘Love Island’, as a surprise celebrity addition, a decade after first taking part in the show.

SEE MORE:


In 2005, Calum was one of 13 famous faces to take part in ‘Celebrity Love Island’, which was eventually won by nightclub owner Fran Cosgrave and TV personality Jayne Middlemiss.

On Thursday night, it was confirmed that he would be returning to ‘Love Island’ for what would be his third time on the reality series, having previously come back as a late arrival in the second series and won the whole show, alongside Bianca Gascogine.

Speaking about his imminent arrival in the Mallorca villa, Calum said: “I can't wait to come back, if I can go in there and just share my experience with everybody else to make sure everyone has the best time they possibly can. I'm looking forward to getting amongst it."

So far, 2015 has been a busy year for Calum, having made it to the final of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ back in January, finishing in third place, behind Katie Hopkins and Katie Price.

After winning over new fans on ‘CBB’, Calum then released his autobiography, ‘Second Best: My Dad And Me’, which discusses in depth his relationship with his father, the iconic footballer, George Best.

Of course, Calum is practically a reality TV pro at this stage, having also appeared in ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’ and ‘Celebrity Bainisteoir’ (no we’ve never heard of it either), as well as being at the centre of his own MTV reality series, ‘Totally Calum Best: The Best Is Yet To Come’, back in 2008.

“Hoping its bells paisley (think that's how you spell it) xxx,” he tweeted.




Fans of the reality star were quick to send messages of support to the couple.

But things haven’t been easy for the couple since tying the knot, with George recently admitting that the couple had been rowing a lot.

In an interview with Closer magazine, George said: "We've been rowing a lot. Marriage isn't what I thought it would be if I'm honest. I thought it would be all sunshine and happiness, but it's really hard work - especially for us.

He said: "There have been times I've thought we might not last. In my darkest moments I've wondered if we should be together.

"But I love Kerry so much and I'm determined to make it work."

Get well soon, George.

Dean, who was last seen in Walford in 2010, says he is still in the dark about what his storyline will involve but admitted he does know a little bit about what is in store for Robbie.

“All they've told me is that Robbie, as always, is hapless in love and business, so I think this trend is continuing. And I believe he comes back with a son,” he revealed.

Robbie’s return is believed to coincide with the departure of his on-screen mum, Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson), from the soap.

“I would actually surrender me coming back for Lindsey to stay,” he added. “I think it's a shame for the show she's leaving, but I think she'll go on to bigger and better things.”

Dean also revealed he still watches the soap religiously with his twin daughters, now aged 19.

“My daughters are at an age where I constantly bore them and I stop the show, whenever there's a scene in the Jackson house,” he said.

“I'm standing with Ryan, so then I had to put the phone down and we couldn't scream because we were in a supermarket.

“When I got outside, I just let off a big scream.”

Robbie was last seen walking his sister Bianca down the aisle, before heading off to India to be with his pregnant wife, Nita.

Dean starts shooting for his scenes next month and you can expect to see him back on screen in August.

Kris Jenner has finally broken her silence on Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover shoot.

The two were married for over 20 years until they eventually split in October 2013, with Caitlyn coming out as transgender earlier this year.

She introduced herself to the world with an already-iconic photo spread with Vanity Fair magazine, which her family have all been vocally supportive about, apart from her ex-wife, Kris - until now, that is.

Speaking about the magazine cover with ‘Extra’ at MailOnline’s yacht party in Cannes, Kris revealed: “I think it's amazing. I think that someone following their dream is truly inspirational to a lot of people ... you have to do what makes you happy."

Kris also described the accompanying photo-shoot, shot by Annie Leibovitz, who previously helmed Kim Kardashian’s Vogue cover, as “beautiful”.

Caitlyn discusses the breakdown of her relationship with her ex-wife in the Vanity Fair interview, claiming she was “mistreated” by Kris, adding: “Twenty per cent was gender, and 80 per cent was the way I was treated.”

However, when the interview went to print she spoke more favourably about Kris on her Twitter page, insisting: “Reading the VF article reminded me of the love & good times Kris & I shared for so many years. Wouldn’t trade that time for anything!”

When Caitlyn - then still known as Bruce - first came out as transgender in a TV interview in April, Kris voiced her support for her ex-husband, tweeting: “Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero.”

JK Rowling has confirmed a new ‘Harry Potter’ play is coming to the West End next year.

READ MORE:


The author officially made the announcement on her Twitter page on Friday morning, revealing that the new play will be called ‘Harry Potter And The Cursed Child’.

So far, JK has said she’s keeping the details under wraps, insisting that she doesn’t “want to spoil what I know will be a treat for fans”.

But the author also insisted the new play is “not a prequel”, suggesting it is set after the events of the final book in the series, ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’.

She also explained why she chose to write the new story as a play, rather than an eighth novel, writing: “I am confident that when audiences see the play, they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story.”

























The announcement was made on what JK Rowling described as a “special day”, as it coincided with the 18th anniversary of the first ‘Harry Potter’ book, ‘The Philosopher’s Stone’, being released in the UK.

Next year looks set to be a seriously exciting one for ‘Harry Potter’ fans.

In addition to the new play hitting the theatre, there’s also a new film to look forward to, with Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston starring in the big screen adaptation of ‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’.

‘Fantastic Beasts’, which will act as JK Rowling’s screenwriting debut, is based on a Hogwarts text book which first appeared in ‘Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone’, but which she later decided to pen for real, with proceeds from the book going to help Comic Relief.

‘Harry Potter And The Cursed Child’ will act as a collaboration between JK Rowling, writer Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany.

'Big Brother' 2015: Aisleyne Horgan Wallace And Nikki Grahame Come To Blows With Helen Wood

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace’s highly anticipated return to the ‘Big Brother’ house has delivered on its promise to bring fireworks to the show, after she became embroiled in a row with arch enemy Helen Wood.

MORE 'BIG BROTHER':


The ‘BB7’ star made a comeback to the Channel 5 reality series on Thursday (25 June) night’s episode, appearing as a Christmas present in the weekly shopping task.

And she’d barely had time to take off her Mrs Claus outfit, before she was going at it hammer and tongs with Helen, who she’d previously rowed with on the outside world.

After she chose Helen to receive a basic shopping budget saying - what is undoubtedly the quote of the series - “basic rations for a basic b*tch”, the pair began a conversation about their feud, which initially started as civil.

“I don’t want to come into this house and breed negativity and atmosphere,” Aisleyne said.

However, the conversation then turned to a previous confrontation they'd had on the outside, where Aisleyne accused Helen of secretly filming her and posting the footage online.

Refusing to get drawn into it, Aisleyne said: “You’re making other people feel awkward.”

“I do what I want and I don’t appreciate this. You’re the one who came in here and started that," Helen said.

“I don’t want to argue. I’m in the house to have fun and support my friend,” Aisleyne replied, referring to Nikki Grahame.

But Helen continued to insult her rival later in the show when Joel Williams asked Helen was Aisleyne did for a living.

“I don’t think I’m allowed to say on camera… Professional slag?!” she said.

Helen and Aislyene came to blows


Things then escalated even further when Nikki stood up to Helen, after her comments to Brian Belo, comparing him to a “murderer and a rapist” made him quit the show.

“Where’s this personality come from now your army’s arrived?” Helen asked, referring to Aisleyne.

“I feel supported,” Nikki responded.



Helen continued: “You’ve found a tongue since your rat-bag mate has moved in. Now someone who’s from the Z-list like you has walked in, you think you’re better than everyone else again.”

But Nikki hit back: “If I’m on the Z-list that makes you unclassified. You’re a horrible human being. You made Brian leave this house. You antagonised him out this house."

Helen - who was given a formal warning about her behaviour towards Brian - then said: “I never pursued him once. He came to me.”

Nikki and Aisleyne then were called to the Diary Room, before Helen burst into tears throwing a glass at the wall in anger.

See what happens next tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.

Kanye West Attacks Celebrity Culture In New Interview: '90% Of Famous People Will Only Use Their Voice To Make Money'

Kanye West has hit out at celebrity culture in a new interview, claiming that most famous people are afraid to use their influence for good, because they’re only interested in making money.

SEE MORE:


The ‘All Of The Lights’ rapper is currently gearing up for his headline slot at Glastonbury this weekend, and had some choice words about a few of his peers when he sat down for an interview in the latest issue of Q.

He tells the magazine: “I just think there's a lot of celebrities that are completely controlled by their finances. You could literally tap them on the wrist and say they lost five dollars and they'll fall to the floor and beg for at least four of the dollars back.

"So when people expect a celebrity to do or say anything you're talking to the wrong group of people.”

Kanye goes on to suggest that he feels the vast majority of celebrities aren’t using their power to raise awareness of important issues, adding: “They won't use their voice for the people. They'll only use their voice for money.

“Print it as loud, as f**king loud, as you want to. Print it. And I don't care what parties I don't get invited to afterwards. 90% of celebrities only use their voice for the purpose of making money for themselves.

"I'll address [politics] however it needs to be addressed, because the world is broken. Somebody's got to be crazy enough to put themselves and their well-being on the line for truth. Somebody's gotta do it."

Kanye is currently expecting a son with wife, Kim Kardashian, with whom he already has a two-year-old daughter, North.

SEE ALSO:


The actor plays both Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the forthcoming film about the notorious East End London gangsters, and the new trailer shows Reggie’s struggle to keep his twin brother’s darker side under control.

"London in the 1960s, everyone has story about the Krays. They were twins. Reggie was the gangster prince of the East End. Ron Kray was a one-man mob," the narrator says.

Reggie is told about Ronnie: "Your brother is a violent, paranoid schizophrenic."

Another scene shows the brothers coming to blows, where Tom Hardy is seen throwing punches at himself, as the twins fight it out at a party.

The film will tell the story of the dramatic events leading to the twins’ reign of terror in London, which came to a head in the 1960s.

Emily Browning, Taron Egerton and Christopher Eccleston are also among the cast, while the film also marks the return of Oscar-winning director Brian Helgeland to the crime genre.

Coronation Street’ couple Fiz Brown and Tyrone Dobbs are reportedly in for yet more heartbreak, when they discover that one of their children has cancer.

SEE MORE:


It has been claimed that a future storyline will see Fiz discover that her five-year-old daughter, Hope - whose father, murderer John Stape, died in hospital in 2011 - has a “highly aggressive” form of cancer.

The Mirror have reported that, later this year, Fiz will be “devastated” to learn Hope has neuroblastoma, and is said to be one of the most emotional storylines in the soap’s 55-year history.

An insider told the newspaper: “These will be some of the most heart-wrenching scenes ever seen on the show.

“Producers have gone to great lengths to understand as much about this cancer as possible. They want to portray accurately and sensitively what must be a very distressing time for parents and sufferers alike.”

Fiz recently returned to the cobbles, after actress Jennie McAlpine gave birth to her first child, a baby boy, named Albert.

Her character’s relationship with Tyrone Dobbs has been blighted with problems, ever since their reunion in 2013, when he finally left his abusive ex-girlfriend, Kirsty, who he has a baby girl with.

After the couple were hit badly by the sad death of Hayley Cropper in January 2014, Tyrone suffered a serious injury months later, breaking two ribs in a construction accident.

Dean Gaffney has announced his return to ‘EastEnders’ as loveable plonker Robbie Jackson, but long-term fans of The Gaffers, as we like to call him, will know that this is not his most prolific TV appearance.

That title goes to his stint in the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ jungle, where his attempts at the Bushtucker Trials went down in reality TV history.

Dean completed three of the gruesome challenges during his time on the ITV show in 2006, but the Jungle Spa trial - where he received beauty treatments of a very different kind - still remains the most memorable.

The jittery star let out a series of noises that no other human has ever made before (our personal favourite is at the 0.28 mark, FYI), as he faced a plethora of critters and jungle nasties, leaving hosts Ant and Dec in stitches.

So as we ready ourselves for the return of Robbie Jackson, let’s just take a moment to relive Dean’s Bushtucker nightmare in the video above.

Danniella Westbrook’s shaky interview on Friday’s ‘This Morning’ has left many viewers questioning why she agreed to appear on the daytime show - despite the star assuring those watching at home ‘not to worry’ about her.

During the interview with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, the former ‘EastEnders’ star opened up about her much-publicised personal problems.

She explained: “Earlier on this year, my sister-in-law came in [to my house] and I was 7 stone 8. I begged her to take me. I had a nervous breakdown.”

Despite this, a visibly jittery Danniella told viewers not to worry about her, saying: “Please don’t be worried about me. I’m 41, I’m a big girl.

The former cocaine addict recently admitted to taking the drug again after her relationship to cage fighter Tom Richards came to an end and also revealed she had attempted suicide.

“I’m sick of being talked about as a drug addict,” she added. “I’ve been through a lot of c**p stuff. I’ve signed another film, I’m busy, I’m happy, I just want to go to work.”

Following the interview, viewers quickly took to Twitter to voice their concerns over the ‘car crash’ interview, with some even comparing it to Kerry Katona’s infamous interview on ‘This Morning’ at the height of her drug problems.






















Earlier this week, it was revealed that Danniella's planned return to our TV screens in ‘Hollyoaks’ had been cancelled, following a “breach of contract”.

The troubled actress was due to resume her role as Trudy Ryan this summer, but it has now been announced that she won’t be back on our screens.

In a statement issued to MailOnline, the soap's bosses explained: “Danniella breached her contract and it was terminated last week. She will not be filming ‘Hollyoaks’.”

Professor Stephen Hawking has reportedly had to pull out of a scheduled appearance at Glastonbury.

The theoretical physicist was due to deliver a talk to audiences at the KidzField, aimed at children aged 12 and under, on Friday afternoon, but had to withdraw at the last minute, according to reports.

A spokesperson for Professor Hawking, who suffers from motor neurone disease, told The Telegraph that he had forced to cancel for “personal reasons”, while a reporter for the newspaper claimed she’d been told it was because “he’s poorly”.

Earlier this year, he was the subject of the biopic, ‘The Theory Of Everything’, which saw Eddie Redmayne cleaning up during awards season for his leading role.

While Professor Hawking might have seemed an unlikely candidate to be on the same billing as Kanye West, Florence And The Machine and The Who, he proved back in April that he was well-versed in the problems of young people, giving some advice to distressed One Direction fans following Zayn Malik’s departure from the boyband.

He probably wasn’t the most surprising name on the line-up, however, given that the Dalai Lama is currently scheduled to put in an appearance at Glasto on Sunday.

This year’s action at Worthy Farm is finally in full swing, with Bastille kicking off the first of this year’s secret sets, announcing their performance just one hour before they took to the stage at Williams Green.

Foo Fighters had initially been lined up to headline, but were forced to withdraw just days before the festival kicked off, when Dave Grohl broke his leg during a live show in Sweden.
