GEMMA Collins reveals her 'mystical' wedding plans are on hold for the time being. The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate has said that her arrangements are coming slowly. 6 6 6 Gemma, 44, is currently engaged to her long-term fiance Rami Hawash, 50, whom she first met in 2011. She has regularly been spotted with X Factor group, Jedward, who have apparently agreed to perform at the ceremony. However, the former Dancing on Ice favourite has stated that fans might be waiting a while to see her walking down the aisle in white. The GC has now said that she has barely planned for the big day, but she does at least have a theme in mind. She told The Mirror: "If I'm honest, I haven't actually done anything about it yet because I've had just the craziest of times recently. "It's been nonstop. But I'm sure Jedward are gonna get up and sing. I've not decided where it's gonna be. "Absolutely, they will be singing. They'll definitely have a major role in the big day." Wedding inspiration "I mean, after Jeff Bezos' wedding, I've sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven't I?," quipped the GC. "I had my friend DJ Fat Tony's wedding this year and that was just so beautiful, it was just so right." Watch hilarious moment Gemma Collins launches bid to become a DAME as she sets sights on royal nod She continued: "They obviously put a lot of planning into it, but their day was beautiful. "I am very last minute so, knowing me, I'll probably decide two weeks before." Despite not actively planning her nuptials, the star did confirm that she has a date in mind. She told the outlet: "Absolutely it will be 2026. I spoke to my astrologer and that is the year to get married. "I'd like it very mythical, actually. I'd like fairies. I'm obsessed with Maleficent, you know the movie? "So I'd like a woodland setting, I think. Very like boho but magical. That's the thing, I haven't pulled my finger out and done one bloody single thing. "So I'm literally at the very, very beginning. All I know is I want it mythical with mythical creatures." Elaborating further on Jedward's role in her big day, she added: "They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys." Stepmother duties Meanwhile, the former Towie favourite has loved being on 'step-mother duties' to Rami's seven-year-old son, Tristan. Gemma told the outlet: "I've been a busy stepmum because, obviously, I've got Tristan now. "I don't share him too much on socials, because I respect his privacy but we've had him, so that's been lovely. "We've been just doing normal, kiddy-friendly things. I spent more time in Jump Street [children's trampoline park] than I've had hot dinners." I'd like it very mythical, actually. I'd like fairies. I'm obsessed with Maleficent. Gemma CollinsThe Mirror She added: "I've been on the PlayStation – you name it, I've been doing it: parks, doggy walks. "I wish I could say to you, I'm sat in Mykonos drinking a Piña Colada, but I'm not. "I have been busy doing stepmother duties but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've loved it." 6 6 6

A POPULAR pop duo have been forced to cancel a string of gigs after one of the members dramatically collapsed on stage. Royel Otis have cancelled upcoming gigs after a worrying turn on stage this week. 2 2 The Aussie pop duo had been performing in Germany at the MS Dockville festival when one member fell unwell on-stage. Consisting of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, footage that was circulated on TikTok appeared to show Royel collapsing to the ground mid-set. Members of the on-stage live band rushed to help as Royel stumbled backwards with his guitar still on him. He appeared to fall on his back as gasps could be heard ringing out across the shocked crowd.

Writing on their Instagram account, they confirmed that Royel was suffering from a virus as they said: "We are really sorry to say that we need to cancel our set at Lowlands + Pukkelpop festival as Roy has been unwell with a virus since last night's show in Hamburg. "We were really looking forward to playing for you and hope we can see you at one of our other shows soon. "Thank you for all your support always [pink heart emoji] Roy + Otis." The group have been working together for the past six years but have only found mainstream success in recent years.

Strictly pro Michelle Tsiakkas defends Jamie Borthwick after he was suspended by BBC and reveals pair are ‘really close'
STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Michelle Tsiakkas has defended her former dance partner Jamie Borthwick - after he was suspended by the BBC over an ableist slur. Michelle, 29, who placed seventh on the BBC dance series with Jamie, 31, last year, revealed how the pair were still 'really close'. 4 She told The Sun on Sunday: 'Whatever you saw on screen of our relationships together is what our relationship is like. 'We're like brother and sister, we're really close. He still actually messages me saying that he misses it. 'I saw him the other day, he remembered all of his routines, he was doing them again. I was actually so surprised.' Speaking at the National Reality TV Awards, Michelle added: 'For me, that counts more than any trophy because I feel like I had a positive impact on your life and changed it for the better - in terms of him finding this new found love for dancing. 'He's honestly so passionate about dancing. I can't believe it. He is trying to dance with everybody and do his routines with everyone.' It comes after Jamie was banned from BBC soap EastEnders in June after The Sun on Sunday revealed a video of him using a severely derogatory term. It saw him describe the people of Blackpool as 'absolute m**s' while there for last year's Strictly live show. Asked if she and Jamie chat in a Strictly WhatsApp group, Michelle said: 'We mostly talk just me and him so that is really nice that we still have a good relationship.' Speaking about the pressure that comes with the BBC series, she added: 'The show is about joy and dancing. 'It always needs to come back to that because it is such a special show. Fresh Strictly scandal as Jamie Borthwick & Wynne Evans blasted by BBC over shocking SEX TOY vid filmed in dressing room 'It's about having fun and not taking anything too personal and creating memories that last a lifetime, which they truly do.' 4
