Strictly 'sign Pete Wicks' mate up for new series' after their audience antics
Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks dazzled on the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor last year. It's thought one of his famous pals is set to follow in his footsteps and take part in the 2025 series Reality TV star Vicky Pattison is reportedly ready to add Strictly Come Dancing to her lengthy TV CV. The former Geordie Shore star, who has pivoted into making documentaries over recent years, is apparently set to get her dancing shoes on ready for the BBC show's new series. Vicky, who was crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2025, was on hand to support pal Pete Wicks during his time on the dancefloor last year. The former Geordie Shore's appearances in the audience didn't go unnoticed by BBC bosses, who liked what they saw. "She has great energy and will no doubt be a hit with the viewers," an insider of said of Vicky, who is reportedly ready to step out of her comfort zone and learn a new skill. A source close to the 37-year-old said: "She's had a continuing rise in popularity and her TV work is going from strength to strength after presenting a serious Channel Four documentary and appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox." Speaking to The Sun, they added: "It's a no-brainer they want to sign her up" The Mirror has approached the BBC and representatives for Vicky for comment on this story. Pete isn't the only former Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky is pals with. In May, it was announced that Vicky would launch podcast inspired by 'female comradery; with Angela Scanlon, who finished in sixth place during the 2023 series. Vicky and Angela will discuss topics including motherhood and internet drama as the hosts of a new podcast titled Get A Grip. The catalyst for the podcast was "female comradery in the face of the ridiculous", according to Virgin Radio UK host Angela. "Being told to 'get a grip' is not a new notion for most women, and is something I've experienced a couple of times (a week!), as has Vicky," the 41-year-old said. "Female comradery in the face of the ridiculous was the catalyst for our new podcast. We wanted to create a fun and empowering space where we can unpick the good, the bad and the bizarre happenings in the world each week as we move through our own lives loudly, unashamedly and maybe a little unhinged. "We're taking the group chat into the pod world and we can't wait for you to come with us!" Vicky added: "For those who know me by now I am never one to shy away from expressing myself whether people want to hear it or not! "So I'm thrilled that I get to do that alongside my partner in crime as we do our best to keep things real and put the world to rights with lots of laughter along the way. I have no doubt we will be bringing a lot of you along with us too." Speaking about Pete's Strictly stint last year, Vicky said: "Like when I found out Pete was doing it, the first thing I did was ring him and see if he was OK. "Because me and him are more like stand in the corner, drink and have a laugh than you know, centre of the dance floor people. And he was saying he was really nervous, and I think that's how I'll be."

Liam Gallagher's sweet gesture to Noel during Oasis comeback gig proves the ‘brothers are at peace'
LIAM Gallagher made a sweet gesture to brother Noel last night - which signals that the "brothers are at peace". The famous brothers shared the stage for the first time in 16 years last night at Cardiff 's Principality Stadium. 3 3 3 Noel and Liam made their long awaited return to the stage, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. The former feuding brothers walked out on stage with their arms raised together. Body language expert Judi James said this was a "celebratory ritual that suggested an air of sibling peace and harmony". "Analysis of the ritual is fascinating. It's Liam who has grabbed Noel's wrist to raise their arms, suggesting he's the one wanting to push the idea that they're reunited for real," Judi told the Mirror. "He also places a confident and controlling hand onto Noel's shoulder, raising his maracas in the air in what looks like a V sign to signal victory." The expert also pointed out a moment where Noel took a moment to take everything in while performing Half The World Away. Judi explained: "He looks like a man holding his breath like the rest of the fans in the hope that the sibling bonds hold firm this time and they get through their tour in a state of (almost) total harmony." Noel's 25-year-old daughter Anais was in the crowds as she rocked out to her uncle and dad's numerous hit tracks. She posted a photo of herself having a smashing time with a pint in her hand and donning a blue Oasis shirt. The model and photographer captioned the photo: "It's good to be back." Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews spotted at Oasis comeback gig Anais' mother Meg Mathews, who was married to Noel from 1997 until 2001, was also present at the concert. But Meg reportedly "walked out" of the band's comeback gig - just moments before "her song" was played Along with die hard Oasis fans, celebrities turned up in the masses to see the iconic band return to the stage to sing 23 of their best loved tunes. One person who made sure they were there was Noel's ex-wife Meg. The socialite has been a big supporter of Oasis' comeback, so she was there to show her support on the tour's first night. A source told The Mirror: "After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band. "She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals." However, after Oasis' two hour set the band came back with a three song encore which included Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. The Mirror reports that it was at this moment Meg decided to "walk out" and leave the gig. Hardcore fans will remember that Noel actually wrote Wonderwall for Meg, when they were together. GIG OF THE CENTURY It's fair to say last night's Oasis comeback did NOT disappoint. Fans were treated to performances by Cast, a Britpop band from Liverpool, and The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft before the Gallagher brothers made their long awaited return to the stage. Oasis proved they were worth the 16 year wait, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, and Talk Tonight. Before Cigarettes & Alcohol Liam dished out orders to the crowd, saying: 'I want you to do us a favour. I don't ask much. 'I want you to turn around, every single one of you 'Put your arms around each other like you like each other and when the tune starts you jump up and down. 'Its f***ing easy.' After last night's gig, Oasis play another night in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in their native Manchester for five nights. Then the band heads to Wembley Stadium for five nights from July 25 and then on to Edinburgh and Dublin, with the first part of their UK leg ending at Croke Park on August 17. Oasis then heads over Canada and America for gigs in Toronto, Chicago, LA and Mexico City before returning to London for two more dates at Wembley at the end of September. They then move on to Asia, Australia and South America, finally ending their tour on November 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. You can check out every moment from last night's first show in our Oasis blog.
