I’m Terry happy
Jess Wright Elliot Wright’s A: It was so beautiful and made me even more impatient to get married. The problem is I’m too fussy and independent.
Muggy Mike A: He’s missing Michelle and his family loads but he’s loving it. We are all going to LA this weekend to visit him. It will be the first time my mum or dad have ever been. TOWIE is without a Wright family member for the very first time now mum Carol has handed in her notice.
But Mark and Jess Wright’s cousin Elliot has revealed he’ll be back.
Elliot, who is currently on our screens with his wedding spin-off, said: “I loved going back this series and I would always be up for the odd cameo if it was authentic and right.”
Elliott and Sadie The Wedding continues tonight at 9pm on ITVBe. TOUGH
Love singer Jessie Ware is launching her very own podcast from her mum Helena’s kitchen. And man-of-themoment Sam Smith is one of her first guests! The former Mercury and BRIT nominee exclusively revealed: “I’ve started a podcast with my mother. It’s called Table Manners and it’s been so fun to do while I’ve been working on my record. “We had Sam Smith round last week and he had my mum’s turkey meatballs which went down a treat.”
Jessie’s worked with pal Ed Sheeran on her new album Glasshouse – which I’m loving! She added: “Ed is exactly what you expect him to be like, the nicest guy in music and so ambitious. He’s helped me become a better writer. I’m in awe of how he can write songs so brilliantly and so easily.” Glasshouse is out now, while Table Manners will launch next month.
ED Sheeran says he’d ★
love to perform at this year’s X Factor finals if his damaged arms have healed.
The singing superstar has had to cancel tour dates after fracturing both his right wrist and left elbow after a horror bike crash.
Ed, who scooped Best Act In The World Today gong at Wednesday’s Q Magazine Awards, said: “I hope I’ll be back on X Factor.
“Nothing is confirmed but I would love to. I’m hoping I can perform again in four weeks.”
Ed, who has the biggest-selling album in the UK this year, added: “My favourite album this year is Jessie Ware’s Glasshouse.”
High praise indeed from the ginger genius!
PALOMA Faith is terrified no one cares she’s back with a new album.
The former BRIT winner has released three top 10 records – which have all gone double platinum in the UK.
But the Crybaby singer told me she’s still worried her brilliant new album The Architect will flop.
Paloma said: “It’s really scary releasing a new album after three years away.
“The music industry is such a fickle place at the moment.
“I’m just terrified because with the exception of Adele, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran it feels like you never know if anyone is going to listen to your new music or even care that you have a new album out. “It gets harder with every album. I released my first album in 2009 and all the artists who were starting out then are no longer around.
“It’s incredibly hard to have longevity. Especially if you are a female artist.”
Paloma won Best Female at the 2015 BRITS and joined The Voice coaching panel the following year.
She then disappeared from public view to give birth to her first baby.
Another former Voice coach Jessie J recently said she needed to go AWOL from the music scene to save her sanity.
But down-to-earth Paloma told me: “I’m so fortunate and unfortunate that no one around me gives a sh*t.
“My mum doesn’t give a sh*t about celebrity culture, while my boyfriend is too cool for school and doesn’t know who anyone is.
“Jessie should have a kid if she wants to touch base with reality.
“There’s nothing like cleaning up someone’s sh*t every day to bring you back to reality.”
Talking about her fourth album, she added: “No one can save the world by themselves. The fairytales were wrong. There are no superheroes.
“Everyone has to do their bit and I’m trying to do mine by spreading a message of love, empathy and understanding.”
The Architect is available to pre-order now. LAST year’s X Factor winner Matt Terry says he’s confident of beating the show’s mounting axed list because he’s not signed to Simon Cowell’s label.
Former runner-up Fleur East is the latest XF star to be dropped by Syco, following Honey G and Reggie N Bollie, who got dumped earlier this year.
And 2015 winner Louisa Johnson is still waiting to release her debut album with Syco.
The brilliant Ella Henderson’s much-delayed second record is also on hold. Plus, last year’s third-placed boyband After Midnight have just released new EP The Sauce – instead of an album.
Sources at the record label tell me bosses are currently focusing on the big success stories like Little Mix, James Arthur and Louis Tomlinson.
And Matt said he was happy to be a priority over at RCA Records.
He told me: “I don’t know what it’s like at other labels but RCA have given me pretty much full control. I’ve basically made the album I wanted to make.
“I’ve written a lot of the songs, have a brilliant team around me and couldn’t be happier with how everything has gone.”
Matt is expected to perform his new single on next week’s X Factor live shows and the singer added: “I can’t wait to go back.”
Sucker For You is out now.
TALKING of former XF winners, Ben Haenow has finally admitted Simon Cowell and X Factor bosses wanted Fleur East to win the show.
Popular Ben beat Fleur in the 2014 final despite claims that King Cowell and Co were backing his fellow finalist. Ben told me: “I do think they backed Fleur more. They definitely focused more on Fleur’s launch campaign. “It did feel a little like I was the public’s winner and Fleur was clearly the label’s winner. “Maybe that did hold me back a bit but at the end of the day her single was better than mine and I can’t blame anyone but me for that.”
Tickets for Ben’s Rising Tour this December are out now.
