Smitten X Factor judge mulling festive plans, say pals

Rod’s knee-ly stamina is has its downside. “After Christmas I need knee replacemen­t surgery,” he laments. “It is from football over the years but I will be OK.” He’s well-prepared for the winter too: “I really feel the cold now. I go to bed with a vest,

I was in a studio in Brixton and walked into the kitchen to find Guy Garvey (Elbow) making a brew and chatting with an engineer. I overheard him chatting about his favourite documentar­ies and that there was one he had just watched about an old Scottish comedian he couldn’t remember the name e of. I decided to turn around and in the strongest Scottish accent imaginable shout ‘Billy Connolly’ ’ before walking out the room. Doubt we’re going to be supporting Elbow anytime soon. .

The Conservati­ves hate poor people. Shhh, they don’t want you to know!

To have some proper fun.

Try Star on the ITV contest – twice after rehearsals. And he previously told me he had the hots for 41-year-old Nicole.

Actor is set to win Celebrity X Factor and ex wife is backing him.

They met at ITV’s This Morning, where the former footie hardman told her she was his late wife

idol.

A source said: “They had a long chat about how much Tanya loved her and Priscilla was very understand­ing and encouragin­g. “They really hit it off.”

Hopefully Vinnie, 54, gets an invite to Graceland when he returns to LA next month.
