With countless X Factor viewers fuming over the fact aspiring rapper, Honey G, is still in the running to win this year's show, Simon Cowell has weighed in on the controversy.

Responding to criticism that the judging panel voted for Honey G over Ryan Lawrie in order to create further buzz around the show's novelty act last weekend, the music mogul insisted that the judge's decision had nothing to do with favouritism.

In fact, Simon appeared to suggest that when it comes to voting acts off, the four-strong judging panel are actually playing the long-game.

"You know what, you have to make a call in the moment," Simon explained.

"And I think, if we’re being honest with each other, watching the show last night, I can see a clear… three or four people who’ve got a real shot."

Suggesting that Ryan didn't have what it takes to make it to the final, Simon continued: ""I don’t think Ryan would have gone further."

"We do the sing-off to see A) who’s best and B) who wants it the most. Whatever you do, you’re gonna be unpopular."

But if you think Simon sees Honey G wearing the X Factor crown this year, you'd be wrong.

Like the rest of us, he doesn't imagine Honey G will clinch it despite her success thus far.

"But the truth is, unless Honey performs a miracle, she’s not gonna win this show. I don’t think she can."

Tell that to Ryan, Simon.

It's been 12 years since the last episode of Friends aired and a staggering 22 years since it first hit our TV screens, and yet it remains a steadfast favourite among millions.

While some sitcoms are incredibly quick to date, there's just something about Friends which makes it as relevant today as it was in the mid 90s, isn't there?

And while we still sing along to its iconic theme tune and get a frission of comfort from its title sequence, it seems there are six particular people who weren't as impressed by the show's lead-in.

Opening up about the programme which catapulted her into super-stardom, Jennifer Aniston revealed that she and her five co-stars weren't exactly bowled over by requests to dance in a fountain.

Speaking on The One Show recently, Jennifer said: "We felt it was a little… I don't know. Dancing in a pond? A fountain felt sort of odd."

The star, whose hairstyle during Friends revolutionised salon trips, admitted they agreed simply because they didn't have a say in the matter, confessing: "We did it because we were told to."

And while the idea of waltzing around a fountain for the heck of it didn't exactly appeal, there's no doubting Jennifer holds her decade on the show in very high regard.

Confessing to watching re-runs of the show, Jennifer told host Alex Jones: "I can't help it."

"First, I'm trying to remember which episode it is, and then half the time I'm saying to myself, 'I don't remember that,' You get sucked into the nostalgia of it."

We're with you on that one, Jen.

According to the LA Times, the 29-year-old actress filed the papers last week and is seeking primary custody of their son, offering Ryan visitation rights.

"After much consideration, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” Naya and Ryan said. “Our priority is and always will be our beautiful son that we share together."

"We will continue to be great co-parenting partners for him." they finished.

Naya and Ryan got married just three months after Big Sean called time on his engagement to the Glee star in April 2014.

In a move which didn't exactly endear him to certain husbands and boyfriends at the time, Robbie Williams once suggested he had slept with all but one of the Spice Girls back in the day.

Reflecting on his comment recently, Robbie said: "I told a joke a long time ago. And it sort of got out of hand. You know Back For Good the Take That song, I used to sing that on stage."

"I still do. On one particular tour before it I introduced it by saying ‘I am very fortunate to have been in Take That and four out of five of the Spice Girls.’

"I would like to apologise to all the Spice Girls involved and their husbands and boyfriends. I know a few husbands and boyfriends weren’t too happy with the joke," Robbie admitted.

And while the comment may have been made years ago, Mel B decided it was time to address the remark during a recent interview, but after misquoting the Candy singer, she inadvertently spilled some deets on her former band mates.

"He actually publicly apologised to me for all that mess… saying he had apparently gotten it on with all five Spice Girls. He wishes!" she told The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

"I was the one he never did," Mel insisted. “He’s a friend of mine… Yuck! He’s been with my friends, I don’t want sloppy seconds."

So in actual fact, both Robbie and Mel are saying the same thing…  how interesting

Having sold her first wedding to OK! magazine and endured two high-profile divorces, it's no real surprise that Cheryl Cole has done a full 180 in recent months and decided to keep her private life… well… private.

But that doesn't mean the star isn't aware of the scrutiny and speculation which surrounds her on a daily basis – a fact of life she addressed during a recent interview with The Sun's Fabulous magazine.

The former Girls Aloud singer, who is said to be expecting a baby with boyfriend Liam Payne, is refusing to feed into rumours, and insists the public can take from that whatever they want.

"I am happier than I've ever been before. Now is a good time in my life," she said.

And while she refused to confirm or deny any rumours, Cheryl hinted that the public have a good insight into how the star is feeling at various points in her life.

"I know you can tell exactly what is going on with me. My eyes give everything away," she admitted.

"I can't ever hide my emotions, and it's great that you can see I'm really happy. I learned to be less apologetic and not to give a sh*t about what people say."

While Cheryl and Liam haven't addressed the pregnancy reports, the couple's friends, Kimberley Walsh and Olly Murs, haven't done much to dispel the rumours.

Cheryl's really playing the long-game with this one.

Charlotte Letitia Crosby is nothing if not her true, authentic self.

She may have earned millions over the last five years and established a pretty lucrative career for herself as an original Geordie Shore cast member, but if you expected the fame and fortune to go to the Geordie lass's head, you'd be mistaken.

Sounding as down-to-earth as ever during a recent beauty tutorial, the 26-year-old admitted she didn't know why she employed certain methods and confessed to having run out of things to say while showcasing her skills.

And if that wasn't enough, the reality star then unleashed a torrent of expletives after burning herself on her styling tools, and many of her fans on Instagram can't get enough.

"She's f*cking hilarious," wrote one while another added: "Keeping it real…. so funny"

Unfortunately not everyone was as impressed with Charlotte's casual approach to the tutorial, with one Instagram user complaining: "I watched all that to see the end result and there wasn't one."

"So don't you get to see the end result?" added another.

You don't, but you do get to see the Charlotte we all know and love.

As any fan of the Ellen show will know, a celebrity's dignity is often checked at the door with their coat.

Unlike other chat shows where a star can sit back and shoot the breeze about their upcoming movie, Ellen encourages her guests to take part in games which generally leaves them looking pretty ridiculous.

And this week, that celebrity was Emma Stone.

While appearing on the show to discuss La La Land, Emma took part in a dance-off with the host, and it seems like it really got the better of both of them at certain points.

From Emma forgetting the rules mere seconds after beginning the game to Ellen looking more sheepish than we're used to seeing her during certain dance moves, Last Dance with Emma Stone wasn't quite as slick as we expected.

And to be honest, it only made us love the pair of them even more.

Just hours after performing on Strictly Come Dancing last Saturday night, Gorka Marquez was the victim of an unprovoked attack in Blackpool.

According to emerging reports, the professional dancer, who was partnered with Tameka Empson, was with fellow dancers Alijaz Skorjanec and Neil Jones when he was attacked by a group of individuals.
 

Speaking to The Sun, a friend of the popular dancer explained: "Gorka and a few of the other dancers were heading to a nightclub to let their hair down after another brilliant show."

"All of a sudden this group of local louts came out of nowhere," the source continued. "One of them punched Gorka in the face and broke two of his teeth."

Confirming the incident, a spokesperson for the show said: "Gorka was sadly the victim of an unprovoked incident in Blackpool on Saturday night but he will be back in training this week and is looking forward to the group routine next weekend."

Stunned by the incident, Gorka's friend expressed disbelief, saying: "This was an entirely random and shocking attack on a group of friends simply trying to enjoy a night out."

According to a source close to Gorka, the dancer, who returned to London for dental treatment, is equally stunned by Saturday night's attack, saying: "He wasn't angry, he was just more shaken by the event."

It is understood Gorka will be returning to scheduled training in preparation for the show's Christmas special.

In a move which won't endear her to many Frankie Bridge fans, Wayne Bridge's ex, Vanessa Perroncel, may be on course to join him in the Australian jungle.

Vanessa, who had an affair with Wayne's team mate John Terry, is reportedly set to join the I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here cast as revenge for being kept in the dark about Wayne's decision to take part in the long-running ITV show.

According to reports, Vanessa, who shares a nine-year-old son with Wayne, is furious that she was misled when her former partner told her that rumours he was set to enter the jungle were nothing more than 'gossip'.

"Vanessa was offered the jungle six years ago and refused. When she texted Wayne to ask him if it was true or not, he told her to ignore the gossip," a source told The Sun.

Apparently, Vanessa is furious that her ex-partner accepted an offer of a reality TV show when she has made a habit of turning them down since news broke she had had an affair with John Terry.

"Now he'll be in the jungle for weeks and she wasn't even told," the insider added "It was only very late in the day that he did admit it. The gloves could come off – until now she's refused many shows."

Wayne is now married to Frankie of The Saturdays fame and shares two sons with the 27-year-old singer.

We wonder how Frankie will take the news…

When it comes to speaking her mind, Helen Woods is an absolute pro.

The former escort, who came to public attention after sleeping with Wayne Rooney, has, since then, made a name for herself on reality television, so it's no real surprise she feels equipped to comment on the dynamic currently playing out in the Australian jungle.

But unfortunately for Helen, she underestimated the support Scarlett Moffatt has in the general public, and looks to be backtracking on the remarks she made last week when discussing I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

"She tries soooo hard to be funny, when in fact she's funny putting zero thought into what she's saying. People who try too hard get on my t*ts, leave the comedy to the experts like Joel," Helen suggested at the time.

Reflecting on the backlash she endured as a result of these comments, the former Big Brother star attempted to clarify her point in her latest Daily Star column.

"Didn't half ruffle a few feathers calling out Scarlett Moffatt's fakery last week, did I? Chill your boots," Helen wrote. "It's obvious she knows she's in with a good chance of winning."

"I actually said I think she's funny when she doesn’t try, but it's the little things that get on my t*ts."

"Like how she clicks when everyone laughs at something she said, so she'll says it again, and then a third time. Okay love, find a new joke, stop recycling ones that got rusty before the omnibus."
 

Suggesting that the nation's love for Scarlett stems from her ability to shed weight, Helen then added: "I don't know what it is about the great British public, but have you noticed if anyone goes from fat to thin, loses a bit of timber, everyone falls at their feet like they've found the cure for sodding cancer?"

Finishing off the rant, Helen stuck the knife in one last time, adding: "As a nation, we are bleeding soft for the chubster transformation sob stories."

Top-notch clarification, Helen.

From cosmetic surgery to substantial weight loss, there's very little the Geordie Shore girls haven't tried in an effort to overhaul their appearance.

And it looks like 27-year-old Sophie Kasaei is the latest cast member to undergo a transformation after falling victim to online trolls in recent months.

After rejoining the show, the original cast member gained 21 lbs over the course of a six week filming schedule, and ultimately shed a staggering 14 lbs of it over just seven days at a boot camp favoured by celebrities.

"I love filming Geordie Shore but it totally wrecks your diet. I was in great shape before we started filming the last series but that all went out of the window by the end of the series," Sophie explained.

"It is party central for almost two months and there is no time to go to the gym. You need so much discipline to stay in shape and I lost it big time."

Branded a 'whale' on social media after gaining weight due to the amount of alcohol and junk food she was consuming while filming Geordie Shore, Sophie decided to sign up to a military boot camp in Norfolk – an experience which she says she won't forget in a hurry,

"The 6am wake-up call was the biggest shock – that is the time I am normally getting back in from a nightclub when I am on Geordie!" she admitted.

"I loved every minute of it and I was thrilled to lose 7 lbs in five days. I could not believe the difference – I felt so much firmer all over."

Focussing on long-term goals, Sophie reveals she plans to return to the camp, saying: "I want to go back and do a proper body blitz and get seriously in shape like Holly and Charlotte."

Reflecting on the impact filming can have on the cast members, Sophie said: "It does take its toll on the girls in particular and a few of us do start to feel insecure about our bodies by the end of the filming."

"It is worse for me because I am only 5ft 1in, so there is nowhere for me to hide my weight," she added.
