Celebs Go Dating's Mark Labbett strikes up unlikely friendship with glam female co-star 29-years younger than him

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU would hardly think he is her type but Love Islander Olivia Hawkins has struck up an unlikely friendship with Celebs Go Dating co-star Mark Labbett. Despite their 29-year age gap, she says the pair have become close pals since joining the line-up for the E4 show's 14th series which starts tonight.

Olivia, who is 5ft 4in to Mark's 6ft 6in, says: 'Who would have thought Mark 'The Beast' Labbett would be mates with Olivia from Love Island? You couldn't write it. But when he first entered the show, I was his first interaction and we hit it off. 'As soon as he walked in, I fell in love with him. 'He is just the sweetest, kindest . . . he's so tall but he's a teddy bear. He's so thoughtful. He's a puppy rather than a beast. 'There's so many elements to Mark that people will watch and just fall in love with. 'That is the beauty of this show — you get to see people out of their natural habitat. You get to see Mark dating, which you'd never get to see on The Chase.' The quizzer has shed TEN STONE over the past few years, as part of a lifestyle overhaul — and reckons this has made it easier attracting women. Talking about his weight loss, he says: 'It puts a spring in your step, for sure. It helps confidence. As a result, I can chat to just about anyone. 'I had what I called the four-foot rule when at my heaviest, in that no pretty girl would want to let you within four feet of her. It meant you never got really close to pretty people because on the outside looking in, it wasn't good. 'The difference now, compared to over the years . . . you're far more confident of making small talk with people and feeling comfortable in just about anybody's company.' All those hours in the gym have been worth it, then, Mark. EXCL The Chase's Mark Labbett reveals he was forced to quit date after shock health scare DONNA: MY DATE WAS ONE BIG CON COMIC Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer. The Celebrity Big Brother housemate went on a date with a man she had met online and thought it was going well, until he ghosted her. 7 Donna Preston reveals her love life hasn't been a barrel of laughs – she once unwittingly dated a murderer Credit: Channel4 She later discovered why – he had been jailed. Donna said: 'My dating experience has been quite problematic. I went on a date with a murderer. That was the first time I experienced dating apps. I was like, 'Oh, great, I've got a match, let's go on a date with him tonight'. So I ended up meeting him. 'We had a couple of drinks and I couldn't meet him the week after, and then didn't hear from him again. 'He ended up being in the newspaper. 'I opened it and there was his face. He's in prison, he's a murderer. I got a lucky escape.' Not wrong there. PERHAPS NOT LAST NOEL . . ITV may have halted Noel Edmonds' latest comeback but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere. I revealed last week the former Deal Or No Deal host's three-parter about his life in New Zealand, which aired in June, would not be renewed. 7 Noel Edmonds' latest comeback may have been halted by ITV but his Kiwi Adventure series could be revived elsewhere Credit: Instagram But rival streamers may yet take over the show. A TV insider said: 'ITV may have opted against making more series but there's certainly interest from other streamers. 'They believe Noel's show has plenty more to offer and there's every chance it may be resurrected.' His River Haven estate has also been hit by flooding in recent months, forcing him to close his pub, vineyard and wellness centre. Viewers who watched the series – still streaming on ITVX – saw Noel and wife Liz turn their estate into a popular attraction in their community. Hopefully it's not the last we hear from them. FAIERS PLAY IT'S 15 years since sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie, and both have had multiple spin-off series for ITV2. Now they're back on the channel for Sam & Billie: Sister Act, which begins later this month. 7 Sisters Sam and Billie Faiers found fame on Towie 15 years ago Credit: Getty Sam says: 'We live only an hour away from each other, but having six children between us and being super busy, everything we do, we don't see each other that much. But since we've been filming again, we've become closer as sisters.' Billie teased there are highs and lows in the run, adding: 'We film it all, that's what everyone likes. You don't want to hide things, you can't polish everything, there's the bad stuff and the tears.' KERRY'S FAN OF ACTING KERRY KATONA dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable. The former Atomic Kitten singer also believes her OnlyFans side hustle hasn't done her any favours when it comes to impressing casting agents. 7 Kerry Katona dreams of becoming an actress – but fears that her wild past has made her unemployable Credit: Channel4 But there's no chance she's going to pack in her X-rated antics on the saucy platform, as she makes too much cash. Kerry says: 'I'm a fantastic actress. That is something I really enjoy, is acting. 'But unfortunately, my name holds me back in the casting world in England. 'I don't even know if it's the OnlyFans, but I'll never give that up as long as I'm making the money I'm making. 'Why would I? 'I'm selling a fantasy. That's all I'm doing. I'll keep doing that before I'm tripping on me nipples . . . which I already am!' Hollywood doesn't know what it is missing.

Biggins claims he wants to 'grab women' in bizarre defence of Gregg Wallace

Christopher Biggins has spoken out in defence of Gregg Wallace following his axing from the BBC. The MasterChef host was sacked earlier this year, with the Beeb vowing never to work with him again after several allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour were made. After an investigation was carried out, 45 out of the 83 accusations against Wallace were upheld, with one including unwanted physical contact', while co-presenter John Torode was also found to have used racist language, of which he claims to have no recollection. Consequently, both hosts were let go, sending MasterChef's latest series into carnage. Now, in the aftermath of the scandal, fellow TV personality Biggins has reflected on his own past behaviour, admitting that some of it would likely 'land him in prison' today. The 76-year-old pantomime star, who is gay, claims that 25 years ago, 'everyone' was doing things they shouldn't. He told The Sun: 'Years ago, I would approach a woman from behind and grab her t***ies from the front. Well, I'm gay, so it didn't matter. And I'd like to still be doing it, but I don't think I can anymore.' Biggins, who appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2014, added: 'If I were to do that now, I'd be put into prison. 25 years ago, we were all doing it. It was a thing of affection.' The I'm A Celebrity campmate proceeded to declare solidarity with Wallace, 60, who has been married to Anne-Marie Sterpini since 2016. 'I love Gregg, and I love his wife. I've tried to get hold of her because they must be going through a terrible time, because suddenly careers are vanishing; it's so wrong.' Throughout his lengthy career in showbiz, Biggins has had his own fair share of controversies, most notably during his Celebrity Big Brother stint. In 2016, he entered the house alongside the likes of Stephen Bear, Frankie Grande, James Whale, and Samantha Fox. He was ultimately removed from the house, having received warnings on several occasions for offensive language. The final incident involved Biggins calling AIDS a 'bisexual disease'. Upon his ejection, he said he was 'very sorry and very sad', but his £100,000 fee was reportedly still slashed. These days, Biggins continues his theatre and comedy work and maintains an active social media presence. As for Wallace, he has continued to pledge his innocence since the allegations against him surfaced, insisting that the most serious claims were unproven in the legal review. The TV chef has also alleged that the BBC's production team discriminated against him due to his autism, having been formally diagnosed only recently. Friends of Wallace have also said that his 'autistic hypersensitivity' meant that he had an 'oddity of filters and boundaries', leading to his 'inability to wear underwear'. Such statements have repeatedly been shot down by autistic charities and campaigners, with a spokesperson for the National Autistic Society telling Metro last month: 'Every autistic person is different, just like every non-autistic person is different, so it is important not to generalise or make judgements based on the actions, words, or behaviour of any one individual.' The latest series of MasterChef, which was recorded before the scandals emerged, is currently on air but has been dealt a huge blow in loss of viewers due to Wallace and Torode, 59, hosting. More Trending Just under two million people tuned in to the first episode, which is a significant drop from last year's premiere, which saw 2.7m watch overnight. It remains to be seen whether the Torode Celebrity MasterChef series, alongside Grace Dent, or the two festival specials he is set to feature in, will still be released. The BBC has yet to announce who will be replacing Wallace and Torode, who have fronted the cooking programme since 2005. Currently, the favourites are Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt and Great British Menu's Andi Oliver. A report by law firm Lewis Silkin found there were 27 substantiated claims against Wallace relating to alleged incidents during this period, most of which related to sexually explicit comments. One allegation of unwanted physical contact during this timeframe was also substantiated. The report found that when concerns were reported to the production company during this period, there was a failure to retain records of any action taken. The report found that 17 upheld allegations relate to this period. In 2015, the production company behind MasterChef investigated an allegation about Wallace's behaviour, but he was not made aware of the complaint. The following year, the production company merged with Endemol, and more formal policies, regular training, and anonymous reporting lines were introduced. The BBC intervened in response to a complaint in 2017, following which Wallace was warned of the need to change his behaviour. One substantiated complaint about an inappropriate comment fell into this period. Wallace faced allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a range of shows over 17 years, BBC News reported. The TV star stepped away from presenting MasterChef while Banijay, the show's production company, announced that it was conducting an external review to 'fully and impartially investigate' the claims. BBC News said allegations include the presenter 'talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to "give her a fashion show", and telling a junior female colleague he was not wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans'. The charity Ambitious About Autism said it had dropped Wallace as an ambassador, citing the 'recent allegations'. Banijay UK confirmed it appointed law firm Lewis Silkin to lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged behaviour. Wallace said in a video posted to Instagram that accusations about him making sexual comments towards staff and guests have come from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. Downing Street said Wallace's response to the accusations being made against him was 'inappropriate and misogynistic'. A spokesperson added that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had held talks with BBC bosses in the wake of the Wallace row. Following the backlash, Wallace apologised for any 'offence' or 'upset' he caused with his remarks and said he would 'take some time out'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said politicians should be ready to put in place 'mechanisms' that would instil 'confidence' that women will be taken seriously in reports of inappropriate behaviour after a Labour MP asked him about 'women of a certain age', reflecting comments Wallace apologised for. MasterChef co-presenter John Torode said in a social media post that he 'loves being part of' the programme and 'will continue to be a part of it'. Wallace told the Daily Mail he 'thought about suicide all the time' after allegations of misconduct were made against him. Wallace was sacked as MasterChef presenter following the inquiry into his alleged misconduct by production company Banijay. BBC News said it had not seen the final review from Banijay but understood the presenter had been sacked. In an Instagram post, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' ahead of the published review. He also said he recognised that some of his humour and language were inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. The report by law firm Lewis Silkin for Banijay is published. It says that a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact'. It concludes that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. In the wake of the report's findings, Banijay say that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable'.

Joja Siwa just revived an old-school fashion trend with iconic footwear choice

Influencer and Big Brother star Joja Siwa seems to be bringing back a beloved fashion trend as she was spotted wearing this iconic footwear - and we know how to shop Jojo's exact pair Joja Siwa is certainly one for bringing back old-school fashion trends, and this week, she's at it again. Photographed playing tennis with Chris Hughes, Jojo Siwa was seen sporting a pair of Nike high-tops that were all the rage back in the 2010s. But could the iconic footwear be making a comeback? Jojo was wearing the Nike Jordan 1 Retro High '85 in what appears to be the black-and-white colourway, though due to the lighting, she could have been wearing the navy-and-white or indigo-and-white options. And if you're keen to revive the decade-old trend with the exact pair of shoes Jojo opted for, the good news is we've found one place to shop the Nike Jordans in all sizes from UK 4 to 17. Coming in a huge range of shades and combinations, the Nike Jordan 1 Retro high tops are an ode to the original Air Jordan 1s from 1983, emulating the iconic style that's been a firm favourite in footwear collections for decades. Jojo's sneakers have been designed with a luxe leather upper and revolutionary Air-Sole unit inside. They come armed with lightweight cushioning and a premium feel that ensures your feet are comfortable no matter what, whether you're partaking in casual gameplay over a weekend or taking to the court like Michael Jordan himself. This retro version features the same cupsole profile and thick stitch detailing as the original, ensuring you match the age-old trend, with all of the support and durability from a modern-day shoe. The stable and supportive Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is finished with a textile tongue for soft, breathable comfort and a lace-up fastening that keeps your high-tops in place and secure, ready to face all activities. Jojo's Nike high tops are available to buy for £149, though Stock X does allow you to place a bid. Depending on your budget, you may be able to secure your own for less. If you're happy to shop an alternative style high-top, Nike offer these Nike Dunk High Retro in black and white, and they're currently for sale for £71.99.

Skechers also offers a twist on the classic high-top design with these UNO - Stand on Air, which come in a huge selection of 21 shades, including Jojo's preferred black and white. These shoes retail for £80.
