Kerry Katona 'surprised' after John Torode's MasterChef axing over use of 'N-word'
Kerry Katona has insisted that it is 'easy' to be cancelled these days after John Torode was sacked from the BBC's MasterChef following his accusations of racism. Kerry Katona has spoken out about John Torode's MasterChef axe. The TV star, 59, was sacked from his position as a judge on the BBC programme following a historic accusation of racism just days after his co-star Gregg Wallace, 60, was also axed following an investigation into his behaviour. Gregg initially stepped back from filming in November but lost his job on the show after an investigation upheld 45 out of 83 complaints against him. Meanwhile, Torode came forward as the unnamed person in the Lewis Silkin report, which was commissioned by the production firm Banjiay, in relation to Wallace's conduct. And now, former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 44, has weighed in with her opinion on cancel culture. Kerry said: "There's been drama unfolding around MasterChef, after claims against Gregg Wallace were investigated by the BBC. But I was surprised to see his co-host John Torode also involved." An allegation against John for using 'an extremely offensive racist term' was upheld, but it's hard to pass judgment without knowing the details." The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner was quick to insist that she doesn't "condone racism in any form", but is also aware of just how "easy" it can be for someone in the public eye to be cancelled these days, she added in her OK! Magazine column. Last week, John confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language after an investigation into his former co-star. However, the former This Morning star said that he had no memory of making the comment and denies it ever happened. Following the furore, he has now been sacked from the long-running show, with the BBC recently confirming: 'John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the allegation. "He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. News of John's allegations emerged last Tuesday after production company Banijay said that an investigation into his co-star Wallace 's behaviour by firm Lewis Silkin had "substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against" John. John, however, said in a statement: "I have no recollection of what I'm accused of." The Sun reported that he repeated lyrics, containing the N-word, from Kanye West 's song Gold Digger at an after-work gathering in 2019. He's then said to have used the word again whilst speaking to a member of the MasterChef production team. However, BBC News has since reported that the upheld allegation relating to John using the racist slur was not in relation to the above incident. The publication reports the upheld allegation relates to an incident in 2018, in which it is claimed he used the same word on set after filming ended – and the slur was directed at a member of staff. Meanwhile, the publication also reported that Torode was the subject of a total of nine complaints. There was a single upheld allegation of racist language and eight other allegations relating to different matters were rejected, the Mirror understands. The BBC, Banjiay and a representative for John declined to comment when initially contacted by the Mirror. John denied the allegation in a statement which read: "Following publication of the Executive Summary of the investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. "For the sake of transparency, I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. "I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence."

Josie Gibson's major new role at ITV as This Morning presenter takes on personal project
Josie Gibson will soon be seen on ITV's This Morning as she stands in for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard while they take a break this summer. She'll also star in an ITV show. This Morning's Josie Gibson is set to transform her Somerset abode into the "dream home" she's always envisioned in an upcoming ITV series. The 40 year old television personality, who rose to fame after clinching victory on Big Brother in 2010, has since presented a variety of shows including Channel 5's Around The World In First Class and Channel 4's Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide With Josie Gibson. In addition to finishing fourth in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023, Gibson has become a familiar face on This Morning and is gearing up to cover for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard during their summer hiatus. Hailing from Bristol, the TV favourite is embarking on a project to revamp her Somerset residence with an emphasis on sustainable living. Her plans include installing a subterranean heat pump, cultivating her own produce, and establishing beehives on the property. Josie expressed her aspirations: "My dream is to build a house as eco and luxurious as possible, where you are immersed in the sanctuary of nature." She further elaborated on her vision: "I want to use the acres of land to try my best to have a little small holding. I want bees, birds, badgers to all live in harmony." However, she also voiced concerns about the project: "Though I'm becoming increasingly concerned that my harmonious dream is slowly turning into a construction nightmare. I can't wait to bring the audience along on this journey with me." Gibson won't be tackling the renovation solo; she'll be drawing on the expertise of her brothers, Josh and Charlie, who are scrap metal traders, and her cousin Tom. Together, they aim to construct a haven complete with an on-site gym, a walk-in wardrobe, and tinted windows. The seven-part series, Josie Gibson's Big Country Build, is set to air across ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player in 2026. Katie Rawcliffe, Director of entertainment and daytime for ITV, commented: "She's done a stint in the jungle and tackled all manner of outlandish tasks on This Morning, but our audiences are about to see a completely new side to Josie Gibson as she embraces country life and takes sustainable living to a whole new level." In a recent interview, Josie opened up about the challenges of juggling motherhood with her career. She said: "I often suffer from mum guilt. I beat myself up that I'm not with Reggie all the time because you never get that time back with your kid." Despite the tough choices she faced while forging her path in television, Josie now enjoys a more harmonious work-life balance. Reflecting on her journey, she revealed: "There was a point where I worked a lot - far too much - but I needed to get where I wanted to be, and I sacrificed time with him and that was really sad. These days, I have much more of a balance."

Coronation Street Mick actor Joe Layton 'set for Hollywood' after ITV soap exit
Coronation Street actor Joe Layton has played the role of Mick Michaelis on the cobbles since earlier this year but could soon be switching Weatherfield for Hollywood Coronation Street's Joe Layton, known for his role as the menacing Mick Michaelis, could be on the brink of a major Hollywood breakthrough. Joe burst onto the scene earlier this year as the ruthless thug Mick, alongside his partner Lou (Farrel Hegarty). Labelled as "nightmare neighbours," the pair quickly became notorious for causing chaos. In a shocking turn of events in May, Mick brutally murdered Weatherfield's beloved Craig Tinker ( Colson Smith) in a harrowing alcohol-fuelled attack. It was then revealed that he also regularly abused Lou adding to the disdain for his character from viewers who were shocked to see how truly evil he was capable of being. After Craig's tragic end, Mick found himself behind bars. However, this week saw an explosive development as he broke free from custody. In a desperate search for his child, Mick stabbed Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) before being caught again and sent back to prison. Now, with Mick's time on the cobbles drawing to a close, speculation is rife about actor Joe's next move with his frantic on-screen demeanour capturing the imagination of TV fans. Betway has provided odds on his next step that place Joe at a not too shabby 3/1 to hop over to rival soap EastEnders. But that isn't the only soap where he could show up, as Joe is also sitting at 5/1 to land a role on Channel 4's Hollyoaks. When it comes to reality TV prospects, he's got odds of 8/1 for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and 10/1 for Strictly Come Dancing where fans would get to learn more about him as opposed to his on-screen alter ego Mick. But it's not just small screen opportunities on the horizon for Joe. He could find himself making his way into the cinematic universe too. Bookies are betting that the big screen could come knocking and he might snag a role in a blockbuster Hollywood franchise. Joe currently stands at 16/1 to appear in a Marvel film, and 50/1 to potentially become the next James Bond. Mike Reading, spokesperson at Betway told the Daily Star: "After playing brutal villain Mick Michaelis on Coronation Street, Joe Layton is now a 3/1 shot to bring his bad-boy energy to EastEnders. "Having made headlines for his character's violent past and dramatic prison escape, Layton looks ready-made for the gritty world of Albert Square – pub bust-ups, family feuds, and a shady market hustle would suit him down to the ground! "Other potential next moves include jetting out to the jungle for I'm a Celeb (8/1), joining Strictly (10/1), or even a Marvel comeback (16/1) after previously starring in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's East London where punters think he's most likely to land next." Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

This Morning's Josie Gibson set to let cameras into her home as brand new show announced
This Morning star Josie Gibson is to take viewers on her journey as she attempts to renovate her house into a 'dream home', even though it could become a 'nightmare' Josie Gibson is set to let the cameras into her home for a new TV show where she will attempt to build her "dream" home. The This Morning host, 40, who is mother to six-year-old Reggie, will front a new renovation series for ITV titled Josie Gibson's Big Country Build in which she will go on a mission to transform her dilapidated Somerset property into a modern, 21st century abode. She is determined to assemble her dream home, which will be complete with an on-site gym, walk-in wardrobe, and blacked out windows, and viewers will be able to follow her every step of the way. What's more, the TV star is keen to be as eco-friendly as possible with the new venture and will be seen installing an underground heat pump to setting up auto flowing beehives, as she looks at the best-possible way she can look after her four acres of land. She is worried, however, that it will all become something of a "construction nightmare", even though she is looking forward to fans coming along for the ride. Josie explained: 'My dream is to build a house as eco and luxurious as possible where you are immersed in the sanctuary of nature. I want to use the acres of land to try and my best to have a little small holding. I want bees, birds, badgers, to all live in harmony. Though, I'm becoming increasingly concerned that my harmonious dream is slowly turning into a construction nightmare. I can't wait to bring the audience along on this journey with me!' The seven part series sees Josie teaming up with her brothers, scrap metal traders Josh and Charlie, cousin Buildler Tom, and a whole cast of eccentric locals who will be lending a hand as she sets about putting her passion project into action. Fans will also see Josie making friend with her new neighbours, who could prove crucial to making her dreams a reality when it comes to her lavish property. The whole project is a joint venture with MGM Alternative UK and will be broadcast ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV at some point in 2026. Josie shot to fame as the winner of Big Brother in 2010 and has gone on to major success since then. After landing a string of business deals following her victory, she moved into mainstream presenting and also featured on a plethora of reality television shows. Most notably, she competed on I'm A Me Out Of Here! in 2023, and has also provided cover as main host of This Morning and regularly presents competitions across the ITV Daytime programmes like Loose Women. Bosses are thrilled to have been able to give Josie the opportunity to build her dream home on screen, and have promised that fans will see a "completely different side" to her with the move. Katie Rawliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime for ITV and Lily Wilson, Commissioning Editor for ITV. Sarah Clarke is Series Producer, said: 'She's done a stint in the jungle and tackled all manner of outlandish tasks on This Morning, but our audiences are about to see a completely new side to Josie Gibson as she embraces country life and takes sustainable living to a whole new level!" However, as with any major project, there will be a few "bumps" along the way, and it is thought that there will be "chaos and charm", too. Noting her lack of experience in renovation, Dom Bird, Senior Vice President, MGM Unscripted said: 'Josie's energy is infectious and her enthusiasm unstoppable. Her renovation experience, however, is less apparent. There'll be chaos, charm, and more than a few bumps in the road as Josie and her band of builders attempt to turn her newly acquired wreck into the dream home she's always wanted'. South Gloucestershire-born Josie certainly enjoys the finer things in life, as evidenced by her glamour-filled Instagram account. The TV personality looked right at home fronting her recent Channel 5 show, Around The World In First Class, which saw her delve into the world of luxury travel. Over the course of the show, which aired in February, Josie tried out various high-end travel experiences, from staying in a £16,000 per night Dubai hotel to being a guest on a private island in Sweden. Opening up about the opportunity at the time, Josie said: 'When I got the call, I thought this cannot be real. I thought it was a wind-up. I think it took me less than a second to say yes. "If somebody had told the younger me that one day this would be my life, I would never have been able to believe it in a million years. It is better than I ever could have dreamed of. I don't even want to sugar coat it - I'm jealous of me.'
