Little Mix were left “stressed and anxious” after the pyrotechnics put too much sparkle into their rehearsal.
25, jumped away from the stunt, saying: “I’ve got little flames raining on my head. I nearly s*** my pants.”
The girls were dressed in pink plastic flasher macs to kick off their routine. But
27, struggled with hers. A source tells me: “Jesy was worried she was going to mess up the routine because the belt wouldn’t open at the right time.
“She called Perrie over to help, it was stressing her out.”
They pulled it off in the end.
Lucky VIPS walked away with €500 worth of beauty products from the backstage Spa. Goodies included the new Icon range, PIXI rose oil and serums, Kevin Murphy hair products – including a sewing kit to sew up-dos to your head – CND nail treats and Suman Brows vouchers. It’s been a rough few months for who was forced to pull out of the Dolly Parton 9 to 5 Musical after tripping over and splitting her chin. And the star admits she cried herself to sleep for two days following the freak accident. Louise says: “It was awful and I was so devastated. My stitches went down to my bone, it was so painful. I cried for two days nonstop but then I’ve picked myself back up.” The Strictly star, 44, also fractured her wrist after falling on her way to rehearsals in the West End last month. Watch your step, lady. Maya Jama stole the show in her mad frilly frock. After we posed up together, she told me: “I’m flying the flag tonight,” as boyfriend Stormzy was holed up at home working on his new record. And he “is just focused on that”. She admitted she can’t resist getting Mcdonald’s on a night out because “it’s how we roll”. Lovin’ it.
It was a surprise to see at the Brits. He was guest of honour on table – aka husband. But it was a quiet night as the ex-eastenders actor, 47, who played Ricky Butcher, tells me he has quit the booze after always “getting drunk”. Louise and me at the awards And he’s now back in singleville after splitting from his girlfriend.
He says: “I don’t drink any more – I’ve stopped.
“I kept getting drunk so I won’t be going to any of the after-parties. I’ll just be going home to bed.”
Now that he’s single he says he splits his time between London and France. Maybe time to return to Walford?
performance was my favourite moment of the night – where the star, her mum and dozens of other women, took their make-up off in front of the nation. I’m told the team behind the poignant number were the ones who made headlines with show-stopping skit last year when he called out the Grenfell tragedy. Respect.
Sturridge Daniel Sturridge isn’t happy about being dropped by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. The striker told me at Sony’s Brits afterparty that he was gutted about being benched. Asked why he hasn’t been playing recently, he had a strop, saying: “He just won’t pick me.”
It’s not the first time he’s been subbed. He was a reserve to present a Brit award at the bash, only coming on after Tottenham star Dele Alli dropped out.
Wonder if he’s set to cop it after his little outburst?
