Anton’s Strictly Come Duetting
Chef Grimmy will only reap what he sows Launches crooning career with Alfie Boe and Overtones ...and Martin’s hot to foxtrot
Last month Nick Grimshaw told us he was harbouring secret desires to take part in – and win – Celebrity MasterChef.
Now we can reveal that Gregg Wallace has given
Grimmy the seal of approval to get in the telly kitchen – as long as he’s well practised in whipping up tasty feasts.
Gregg tells Talk TV: “If he does it every night, he’ll be fine. There’s nowhere to hide on MasterChef. You have to have done a lot of home cooking.
“It’s no good learning two or three dishes – you’ve got to be a cook. It’s got to be something you do regularly.”
We’re available to sample any test runs...
He’s done the impossible and become a British soap actor who has cracked America, but Ricky Whittle’s fans are baffled he uses a US accent to get work.
The ex-Hollyoaks man – now Shadow Moon in American Gods, which is out on Steelbook, Blu-ray, DVD and digital download – says: “I always speak American in my roles, which is confusing.”
Whatever pays the bills, eh? DUET Anton and Alfie
Lizzie McGuire. I loved her fashion, her hairstyles and her clothing. I thought she was great.
I binged 13 Reasons Why on Netflix
so fast – literally within two days. I thought it
was amazing. The performances were really brilliant
and the story was really interesting the way
they approached it. I felt like I was always
wanting to know more. That’s why you binge, right?
I have no idea. This industry can be
quite unpredictable so I’m not setting any
goals for myself. I’m enjoying it as it’s happening
now. At the moment it’s really fun. I had a little look-see before my first
series of Poldark started. It was so surreal. Seeing
my name in the credits in the opening sequence
was the best bit. It was kinda, ‘Wow, this is happening.
This is so cool’. Morwenna is a brilliant role.
I think she’s amazing. He’s recovered from shedding tears in I’m A Celebrity last year – now Martin Roberts is eyeing up his next reality show stint.
The Homes Under The Hammer presenter has been harbouring secret dance skills and feels now is the time to show them off on Strictly.
Martin says: “I’d love to do Strictly – I’m up for sequins and tight shirts. I can dance.”
It was falling in love as a 14-year-old which led him to dragging his cousin Elizabeth to dance classes so he could sweep his beloved Gabby off her feet.
But Martin says: “I learned to cha-cha and salsa – and Gabby turned up with her fiancé.” Ouch.
