OK, so the ratings haven't been as impressive for Cowell & Co recently. AND sure we know it's probably all fixed from the outset, but we still love the X Factor.

Apart from having an excuse to stuff our faces and sit on the couch every Saturday night, we also love all the behind the scenes gossip (in fact, that's arguably a lot more entertaining than what's going on on stage). 

And following the swift exit of Kiera Weathers and Seann Miley Moore over recent weekends, it has now been reported that Lauren Murray had also left the contestants' house. 

Though she is still a part of the competition itself, Lauren has packed her bags and departed from the swanky pad. 

The 26 year old told The Mirror that she found living in the house too "intense" (although we're wondering how living in a luxury London mansion can be too intense). 

"I found the filming the hardest to deal with," said Rita Ora's girl. "The camera is there when you wake up, it's there when you go to sleep. I felt like I could never relax. It's intense."

Lauren went on to describe living in the house as "Big Brother meets Glee meets prison". Well, nope, that does not sound fun. 

The singer went on to discuss how she found the six-chair challenge particularly demanding. 

"I was drained. I definitely think they should get rid of six-chair challenge. I found it horrific. But they won't – it's too good TV. Imagine if I had fainted. Someone would have got a bonus!"

Yikes!

We applaud Lauren for her candid honesty but we're not sure how much longer she will last if she keeps criticising the nature of the show? Watch out girl!

As former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis is forced to quit the jungle – over a potentially fatal nut allergy – I'm A Celebrity bosses are desperately scrambling to secure some alternative big names for the reality TV show.

And it seems they've succeeded: signing a cheque for a cool €280,000 they've managed to rope in none other than former professional boxer Chris Eubank. 

“We have been struggling to attract big names in the older celebrity world, so we are delighted to have secured Chris.

“Chris is not a man known to mince his words, and he often comes out with bizarre rants, making him an ideal candidate for I’m A Celebrity," a source told The Sun.

They added: “His eccentricity will be something to behold – especially when he is hungry and deprived of sleep as campmates always are in the jungle."

Other names thought to be lined up for the reality show include Dragon’s Den investor Duncan Bannatyne, TOWIE star Ferne McCann, Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and X Factor choreographer Brian Friedmann.

Earlier this week, soap star Stephanie Davis, 22, confirmed on Twitter that although she had secured a place on the show, it was subsequently revealed that a nut allergy that could prove fatal.

Understandably, Stephanie has been left gutted that she can no longer take part.

We never saw it before… we'll never not be able to see it now.

Yes, it's suddenly dawned on us – and the rest of the world – that former Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst and former X Factor contestant Rylan Clark are basically the exact same person. 

Today Conchita, 26, was a special guest on ITV's This Morning, a show on which Mr Clark, also 26, is a showbiz presenter.

And suffice to say that the talent TV show alumnus was also totally over the moon to be given the opportunity to meet the so-called Queen Of The Euro, who originally hails from Austria. 

In fact, at one point This Morning host Eamonn Holmes had to lightheartedly ask Rylan: "Can't you act professional?" To which he replied: "I can’t, I love her!"

The Belfast-native presenter then revealed a snap sent into This Morning by one of Mr Clark's fans which showed the former CBB winner mocked up as Conchita winning the Eurovision – which she did last year in Denmark with the hit, Rise Like A Phoenix.

And amid the wave of Twitter remarks on the similarities between the two performers, Mr Holmes also told Conchita that she looked like "a cross between Zayn Malik and Kim Kardashian".

She is a mother-of-three sons – the youngest of whom was born a little over a year ago. So Jennifer Ellison certainly has her hands full. 

Shockingly, however, the 32-year-old actress was yesterday at the receiving end of numerous nasty online messages relating to her appearance. 

Appearing on Lorraine on ITV, Jennifer wore a pretty embroidered tunic, jeans and criss-cross platform sandals. 

And despite looking gorgeous, some social media users were quick to criticise – labelling Ms Ellison "fat," and "ugly". Others said they were "stunned," and that they simply "didn't recognise" the former Brookside star.

Still, the Liverpool-native is certainly standing her ground. In fact, Jen has now said that she's unfazed by the "trolls" and that as she's totally happy in her own skin – despite being the heaviest she's ever been at 14st (88kg).

“I don’t care about trolls. What I look like is not a priority," she said in conversation with Mirror Online. 

"My husband still looks at me the way he did when I was 9st, after doing my fitness DVD. I’m happy and feel so loved.

“He thinks I’m the sexiest woman in the world. So I’m not worried, because he finds me as attractive as he always did and he loves my bum and my boobs.

At 5ft 5ins tall, Jen admits, however, that her weight does fluctuate regularly. She now says she is giving herself two years to get down to her goal-weight of 10st, and that she is determined to stop yo-yo dieting.

"I don’t want to fluctuate all my life, I’ve done every fad diet under the sun – as soon as you start eating properly again, you put it all back on.

"I’m known as a yo-yo dieter."

In recent years, Jen has been everything from a size 8 to a size 18 but she has previously told OK! magazine: "I used to be obsessed with what I looked like, always in the gym, and now I just don’t care – there are other priorities."

The next season of The Voice UK could very well be its last, according to various sources inside the BBC.

Despite growing viewership figures – almost seven million people tuned in for the series four finale – it's believed the show may be dropped to cut costs.

Senior executives have reportedly been warned not to get into a "bidding war" for the show with ITV, amid mounting pressure to make budget cuts.

"The BBC has had no choice but to walk away in the face of all the cuts being made," a source told The Mirror.

"It’s a sad day, because it’s a BBC show."

While the show is likely not to be produced by the BBC from 2016 on, it could of course be picked up by ITV, home of The X Factor and I'm A Celebrity.

ITV are already believed to have made an offer, and a three-year deal is expected to be signed within days, with bosses there promising to match the €14million-a-series costs.

The fifth season of The Voice kicks off in January on BBC One, with will.i.am, Paloma Faith, Boy George and Ricky Wilson all lined up as coaches.

Back in August, the BBC was forced to apologise publicly to former coach Tom Jones, after he was axed from the judging panel without warning.

The singing legend took to social media to express his anger, accusing producers of "sub-standard behaviour."

Former Director of Television for the BBC, Danny Cohen, later said he was "truly sorry" for any upset caused.

She sensationally quit last year after just 72hours – but Gemma Collins was still said to be desperate to give I’m A Celebrity another go in 2015.

However, her Aussie outback ambitions have now been thwarted: ITV producers have sensationally blocked her from participating.

And they’re citing medical grounds as the reason.

Yes, following the standard psychological screening that all potential contestants partake in, the former Towie star has been deemed “too vulnerable”.

And according to The Sun, she is pretty devastated by their decision.

“Gemma is gutted because she was desperate to give it another go,” a source told the paper.

“She’s in the best shape of her life but docs feared another repeat of last year’s early exit.

“Despite losing weight and brimming with confidence, they felt she still wasn’t strong enough to cope with the demands.

“ITV still want her to be involved with the show in some capacity. They think she’s TV gold.”

Gemma’s brief time in the Celebrity Jungle was characterised by ongoing – and usually totally irrational – fears relating to just about everything.

Indeed, at one point she believed she had contracted malaria and she was often filmed in floods of tears.

In a further blow, it is believed that Ms Collins actually turned down a place on the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother just so she could secure her place on I’m A Celeb.

With Louis Walsh already confirming he’s been chatting to producers about an appearance on the hit show, the potential I’m A Celebrity line-up for 2015 is already looking like one of the strongest yet.

Ant and Dec will, of course, front the show – and it will begin airing on an as-yet unconfirmed date next month.

She's the gorgeous 29-year-old actress who earlier this year caught the eye of none-other than Prince Harry.

And while fans had hoped that Jenna Coleman would be playing Doctor Who's Clara Oswald for some time to come, she sensationally announced this morning that she's quit the gig.

Up next? The role of none-other than… Queen Victoria, a formidable historical character better known for her aloof nature, permanent state of mourning, and – it has to be said – her rather large waistline. 

But petite Ms Coleman evidently couldn't be happier. 

She told BBC One's breakfast show that she now has "four weeks to become the Queen".

She added: "I need to learn to ride a horse, to waltz, play Beethoven."

The forthcoming eight-part period drama follows the early life of Victoria, from her ascension to the throne at the age of 18, through to her courtship and marriage to Price Albert. It is costing ITV some €13.5m to put together. 

Jenna has been an on-screen companion to both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi in her three years with the Doctor – the longest-serving assistant since the series was rebooted in 2005.

A source told The Mirror today: "Jenna clinched the role of Victoria a while ago but it’s been a very closely guarded secret.

"There is a lot of excitement about this series, which has Sunday night written all over it.

"ITV hope the eight-part epic will give them a ratings hit like Downton Abbey."

He dated a load of his Towie castmates – including Lucy, Chloe and Lauren – but seemed to find true love with the stunning Emma McVey.

Still, it wasn't meant to be for Mario Falcone and his lingerie model girlfriend of eight months: the duo appear to have split for good.

The reality TV star has recently returned to the hit ITV2 show following his suspension, and he and Emma have enjoyed several jaunts abroad since beginning their relationship late last year.

Both regularly kept their fans updated with romantic images of their outings and day-to-day activities, but now Mario has done a total clearout… deleting 27-year-old Emma from every one of his social media posts.

Her Instagram account has also become noticeably quiet: unusually, she hasn't shared a single photo of her former beau for more than three weeks. She also took to Twitter over the weekend to report that she was "drained".

Mr Falcone and Ms McVey were rumoured to have broken-up in March following a spat, but it had seemed like they had put their differences aside.

Last time they fell out – supposedly because of his onscreen flirtations with ex Chloe Lewis – Emma was vocal about her dissatisfaction, going online to state via her Twitter account that she was "far too good" to put up with such behaviour. 

"You slate your friends for disrespecting people for air time. Wow @Mario_Falcone you almost fooled me," she added at the time.

Coronation Street star, Jack P Shepherd, has caused a stir by taking of a photo (pretending?) to relieve himself on the sign for rival soap, Emmerdale.

Jack, who plays David Platt on the show, posted the photo to his Twitter account after a night out but deleted it within seconds.

An insider told The Sun that “Jack had a few drinks like the rest of the Corrie cast, but as the night went on he got a bit boisterous.” Yeah, no kidding!

The source revealed that the 27-year-old soap star has been in trouble before over inappropriate behaviour and that ITV bosses have warned their actors against this kind of publicity.

“Jack knew this could get him in trouble. There’s big rivalry between the soaps but the ITV bosses don’t want any headaches over rows.”

While Jack did delete the picture, he clearly isn’t feeling too shook up about the thought of possibly getting in trouble as he tweeted, “Now where’s that @bbceastenders set,” after the incident.

We may still be reeling from Sybil’s death back in season 3, but Downton Abbey aren’t giving us a break just yet!

It has been reported that Lily James, who plays Lady Rose, is set to leave the ITV show.

The news will come as a big disappointment to fans of the playful Lady Rose, who loved to cause innocent trouble during her days at the Abbey.

Lily is reportedly making the big move to Hollywood following her major role as Disney’s Cinderella in the upcoming motion picture.

Cinderella will also star Game of Thrones‘, Richard Madden as well as Helena Bonham Carter and Cate Blanchett.

According to reports, the promotional schedule for Cinderella will clash will the filming of Downton Abbey‘s sixth season.

We wonder how they will write her out of the script.

It certainly won’t be the last we see of Lily James, that’s for sure!

The speculation surrounding The X Factor 2014 judging panel has gone into overdrive, as its been revealed that Louis Walsh is out and Jake Shears is in.

Who is Jake Shears you might ask? Well, he’s the lead singer of hit American band, The Scissor Sisters.

It seems that ITV bosses want a complete revamp of the talent show and the Irish judge has become a causality as a result.

Jake has spoken previously of how he would love to be a mentor on the hit show: “I think I’d have a good time. I’d definitely be enthusiastic. I think it’s a really wonderful thing.”

Simon Cowell has been doing is best to keep Louis on the show, but it looks he’s fighting a losing battle.

“ITV aren’t sure about Louis and I think it may be time for a change. Jake really impressed when he was a guest mentor on The Voice, but Louis is very much Simon’s man, so we’ll have to wait and see.”

We just can’t imagine the show without Louis.
