Her weight-loss journey has been well-documented – dropping an incredible 4st and going from a size 16 to a size 6 after overhauling her diet and exercise habits. 

Yes, since emerging as queen of the I'm A Celebrity jungle last year, Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison has gone from strength-to-strength.

It's a transformation that Vicky herself attributes more specifically to ditching junk food and alcohol and switching to a healthy diet of three meals a day. 

She furthermore has a best-selling fitness DVD and a V-Nutrtion range of nutritional bars.

However, the 28-year old has taken even her loyal fans by surprise with her latest Instagram post. Showing a before-and-after snap, Ms Pattison's incredible transformation can be seen to full effect.

Her fans were quick to compliment her too. "Really impressive transformation! Keep it up and be proud!!" said one. "You were still hot before but you're on fire now!! X" said another. A third commentator remarked: "Body achieves what the mind believes, well done you look amazing."

Just this week is was announced that Ms Pattinson had been given an ITV presenting gig for an I'm A Celeb spin-off show.

When it comes to Holly Willoughby’s look, the TV host is known for her curvy shape, a good midi skirt and those golden tresses.

Well, it looks like Holly wanted a bit of change this week when she took to Instagram to show off her new-do.

As she prepared to head up her brand new show, Meet the Parents, Holly decided a new show deserved a fresh haircut.

"New show… new lil' chop!" she said to her 1.4 million followers.

 

New show… new lil' chop! @itvmeettheparents thanks everyone who came down to watch tonight! #meettheparents #love

Saying goodbye to a few inches, the 35-year-old looked amazing with her lob-length cut and fans were equally as impressed.

“LOVE the new hair, Holly!” one follower wrote.

“Hair inspiration, definitely having my hair cut off,” said another who will be taking that picture to the hairdressers on her next visit.

She's back on this side of the Atlantic – and today Cher Lloyd made a welcomed appearance on ITV's Loose Women.

In fact the petite singer, who has had a string of chart hits since she first found fame on The X Factor back in 2010, revealed that it's been a full two YEARS since she first packed up and moved Stateside. 

And the impact of her American beauty regime could today be seen to full effect.

Indeed, fellow panellist Martine McCutcheon couldn't help but comment how the 23-year-old looked "stunning".

Fans and viewers at home, however, felt that her look was striking for one reason alone – namely that she and her former reality TV show mentor and one-time nemesis Cheryl Cole have now largely morphed into the same person.

From the glossy mane of brunette tresses to the mega-white teeth, make-up, high cheek bones and sun-kissed skin – the resemblance was certainly uncanny. 

Previously close, Cheryl and Cher had a famous falling out in 2012 when the latter said she would only sing a duet with the former if "she sang live" without the help of Auto-Tune.

Afterwards, Ms Cole angrily tweeted: "Be careful who you kick on your way up. They kick you twice as hard on your way back down. #unappreciationisugly," later admitting in an interview that the jibe was a "slap in the face".

It is an issue that Loose Women's Janet Street Porter gently asked about today: "Cheryl; have you made up with her?" the journalist said.

To which the popstar replied: "Oh yeah, we made up ages ago. I had gotten married and she tweeted me. And then when she got married and I tweeted her."

Although when pushed on whether the duo would be meeting up, a smiling Ms Lloyd stated diplomatically; "I'd hope to bump into her. It would be nice to bump into her."

Reality TV stars are entertaining, controversial and love being in front of the camera so you’d think they’d be ideal contestants for I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.

But – according to new reports – ITV looks set to ban those of reality TV fame from entering its famous jungle because they have an “unfair advantage” over the show’s other participants.

According to The Telegraph, I’m a Celeb… bosses want to ditch reality stars from November’s line-up in favour of more “credible” names.

A number of the show’s former contestants are said to have complained that reality TV personalities have an “unfair advantage” in the jungle because they are used to being filmed close up and have large social media followings.

A Sun source said: “The last series got a ribbing for having so many reality show stars and giving them lots of camera time.”

“Despite them providing most entertainment, bosses are keen to lure more credible campmates.”

Given that TV personalities from Geordie Shore, The Only Way Is Essex and Made in Chelsea have proven very popular in recent years, it will be interesting to see how the decision to exclude them will play out.

ITV and all of its seven channels are being switched off for an hour.

Janice Dickinson was diagnosed with cancer at the start of this year, and while she has been vocal since her diagnosis she has admitted that telling her family was seriously tough.

Indeed, speaking to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on ITV's This Morning today, the 61-year-old candidly spoke about how she was point-blank AFRAID to tell her children – Savannah Dickinson, 22, and Nathan Fields, 29.

"In the beginning I was in a state of numbness… I was truly – not denial or pity – but I just walked around feeling kind of numb because I was afraid for my children,” she said via a live link from LA.

"I was afraid how my two grown children would take the news and they were very upset. And then I went through a period where I thought I wasn’t going to be attractive to my fiancé.”

Janice was diagnosed with cancer back in March after doctors found a lump in her breast; she is now encouraging others to check themselves regularly.

"It's for this reason that I appear in front of you today to share my experience. I implore all women to go get their breast examined and do it themselves.”

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant went through six weeks of radiation, but found that by talking to people during her treatment she was able to stay herself.

“I found Janice again by really talking to people [during treatments] and asking about their day… I’d make them healthy biscuits… trying to be of service to people that have far worse afflictions.

"That’s how I found my light at the tunnel and I just want to keep going. It’s not the end, I’m not out the door yet.”

If you enjoy the odd game show (who doesn't), then you're going to be pretty saddened by this news.

ITV has decided to "rest" most of our entertainment shows, and it could actually mean that they'll be off the air forever.

First Jonathan Ross ended, then The Cube and now shows like Surprise, Surprise, Family Fortunes, Catchphrase and Mr and Mrs are not going to be popping up on the TV anymore.

Philip Schofield's Mr and Mrs and Keith Lemon's Through the Keyhole have already been filmed but once they air, it'll be the last time.

The new ITV commissioning team are now looking to give the station a new "feel," according the The Mirror. The three-man team are set to release a flurry of totally new panel shows, quizzes and games later this year.

If all goes well, then the old shows could be gone forever, but you never know… We think people will miss The Cube too much.

Wednesday night's episode of TOWIE is making headlines this week for more reasons than one.

Megan McKenna's epic bust-up with Kate Wright ("You're gonna rip my f**king head off!") was definitely addictive viewing, but there was one other moment in the show that had viewers raising their eyebrows.

In a scene where Kate was walking her dog with on-off man Dan Edgar, the camera pulled out to show a passer-by chatting on her phone.

The only issue? That passer-by, clearly an extra who was giddy with nerves, was clearly holding her phone upside-down. Oops.

TOWIE viewers were quick to spot the on-screen fail, which obviously went unnoticed by ITV before the show aired:

Good work, TOWIE extra. Good work.

Jeremy Kyle, bless him, has to put up with a whole load of major drama on his famously addictive morning show. 

And today was certainly no different.

In a particularly delightful segment entitled "I didn't sleep with your brother behind your dad's back," a young male guest, Jamie, complains that his glamorous stepmother, Bev, has been unfaithful.

Although Bev insists that she needs a walking stick to help her get around, Jamie's not convinced. In fact, he goes on to claim that she's something of a party animal who regularly performs a particularly sexy dance move – the 'slut drop'.

When a hapless Mr Kyle asks what a 'slut drop,' is (it's OK, Jezza, we didn't know either) his guest happily obliges with a live demonstration. 

Taking to the floor, Jamie widens his stance before squatting down to the ground and then popping back up again – much to the delight of the gathered studio spectators. 

Intrigued, Jeremy decides to give it a go himself – telling his fans that he's "never gone that low before".

The audience goes wild in response to the ITV presenter's resulting moves (we can't say we blame them) – and Twitter predictably reacted with glee too.

One fan stated: "Thought he would rip his trousers doing a slut drop. They were very hugging trousers this morning." Another called the moment "Oscar-worthy".

However, Jeremy mightn't be slut dropping again any time soon: afterwards, the 50-year-old chat show host clutched his back and complained that he thought he'd "pulled a muscle".

She's known as the UK's sweetheart, but things could have turned out very different for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

The pop star opened up to Ant and Dec in a one-off ITV documentary, When Ant and Dec Met The Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust. 

Cheryl is featured in the documentary and candidly reveals that she could have turned to drugs or a life of crime if it weren't for the dance academy she attended when she was young.

The X Factor judge said, "If I didn't have [my dancing], and I wasn't lucky enough to come to dance classes or had that discipline instilled in me, I could have gone anywhere.

"I could have been a drug addict, I could have been in prison. Any route could have happened had I not had have this opportunity."

The hitmaker became an ambassador for the Prince's Trust in 2011 and since then she has set up two sister charities that help support disadvantaged kids in her hometown.

The 2015 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here finished up tonight, with Vicky Pattison crowned the very deserving winner.

Vicky and George were the last two stars remaining after Ferne McCann was sent home by public vote midway through tonight's episode.

The three contestants had a tough start to the show, with Vicky forced to battle eels, pythons, yabbies and mub crabs in the semi-underwater Surf and Turf challenge.

As for Ferne, she was left to eat such delicacies as the tip of a bull's penis and a LIVE and very hairy water spider, to earn points for the camp.

Standard.

George, meanwhile, simply had to lie in a cage… albeit in the company of 45,000 cockroaches, 25,000 crickets, 5,000 mealworms, 20 witchetty grubs and five nests of green ants.

The trio were rewarded for their hard work before the first round of results, with a slap-up three course meal – which for once didn't contain any creepy crawlies.

Vicky went for lasagne and chips, Ferne dined on Chow Mein, while George went for lamb moussaka. 

Geordie Shore lass Vicky has been the favourite to win for the last few days, with bookies giving her 5/2 odds of taking the crown. 

Ferne's burgeoning flirtation with Union J star George was the talk of many viewers over the last couple of weeks – wonder if they'll have a cheeky smooch at the wrap party this evening?

Congrats to Vicky!

He married former police officer Dan Neal earlier this month in what was evidently a stunning ceremony. 

And with Rylan Clark returning to the day-job as a showbiz reporter on ITV's This Morning today, he offered viewers the very first sneak-peak snaps of his Big Day.

Surrounded by no fewer than 10 bridesmaids dressed in full-length white gowns, one image shows the happy couple signing the register together.

In another, Katie Price, Eamonn Holmes and Claire Richards from Steps are captured puckering up for a selfie. 

The 27-year-old reality TV star also told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield that he and his new husband shunned a lucrative magazine deal in order to maintain privacy. 

Indeed, the day itself appears to have been refreshingly laid-back – with some key elements being left very much to the 11th hour.

"We left our outfits right to the last minute," Rylan admitted on air. 

"It was the one thing we forgot to do… and this amazing company made our outfits in two weeks! I drew up what I wanted and they made it.

"I literally couldn’t thank them enough."

As well as Katie, Eamonn and Claire, other well-known names in attendance included Amy Childs and Gok Wan.

He and Dan wed in his native Essex on November 7, surrounded by friends and family. They were engaged for a little over a year, with the former Mr Clark also now changing his Twitter handle to Rylan Clark-Neal. 

The couple have been dating since 2013, after Rylan interviewed the father-of-one on Big Brother's Bit On The Side

He and Dan honeymooned in the tropical island nation of the Maldives following their nuptials.
