Amber Gill has revealed that she was asked to go on Love Island last year, but she turned it down as she had a boyfriend at the time.

The 22-year-old Geordie beautician admitted that she was head-hunted to join the line-up last year, with only six Islanders being picked from the general public applications.

Amber won the  £50,000 prize with Irish charmer Greg O'Shea, and said during a live Instagram Q&A on Monday that she was scouted for the 2018 cast.

"So I didn't apply for the show, no. I was contacted on Instagram, and so yeah that's how I joined. I was actually asked to go on the show last year but I had a boyfriend. But let's not talk about him!

"So this year I thought why not. And it worked out well I suppose." Amber met Greg only 12 days before the final, after her dramatic relationship with Michael Griffiths ended in tears.

The Newcastle beauty said she can't wait to be reunited with Greg, and is jetting to Ireland this weekend to meet his friends and family.

The giddy star told fans: "I'm going to see Greg this weekend. I'm going to fly over to Ireland and spend the weekend with him."

Greg headed straight to Newcastle with Amber to meet all her family and friends after the couple won the huge ITV show.

Fans quizzed her about her feelings for him and she replied: "Greg, Oh my God. He is lusher in real life. He is so fit."

Amber's life has been hectic since winning the show as she did interviews for Loose Women with Greg, This Morning with her mum, and had a double date with Ovie and India.

She said: "It's been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a minute to myself going between Newcastle and London I'm going back and fourth –  but it's great. I absolutely love it."

We love seeing gals come out to support their fellow gals. 

Charlie's Angels first hit screens back in 1976 as a tv series, and then spanned a 2000 reboot starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

Fans fell in love with the badass-ery and unique personalities of each woman, and the stars have shown that they value each other off screen as well as on.

The actresses emerged full throttle to support Lucy Liu, who received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The fierce action adventure movie also starred Demi Moore in the 2003 sequel, and Moore was on hand to celebrate Liu's historic award, according to Vulture;

"Lucy and I first met while making Charlie's Angels- I didn't know we were going to have a reunion today," Moore gushed in a speech.

"I could see she was in fact as I had heard a badass with brains. Then the better I got to know her I realised she wasn't just about a badass with brains, she was a badass with brains, a beautiful heart with a deep loving soul and a damn good sense of humour." AW.

The honoree herself was clearly excited to see influential faces within the crowd;

"My dear Angels," said the 50-year-old veteran actress, "It's a 20 year reunion. Twenty years ago, we were an elite crime fighting team and now look at us." (THEY LOOK UNREAL)

Liu continues to break glass ceilings in the industry, and takes pride in her mission for her  three-year-old son, Rockwell.

"Today there is so much more representation on screen," she added.

"Now, he can see himself in this world and he won't know there is a limit. I never set out to be groundbreaking. I didn't have the goal of being a first. I just wanted to what I loved."

Liu is only the second Asian-American woman to receive a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, after the silent-movie actress Anna May Wong received hers almost 60 years ago.

“Asians have been making movies for a long time,” Liu said in her speech. “They just weren’t making them here because we weren’t yet invited to the table.”

She also referenced Anna May in her speech;

"A hundred years ago, she was a pioneer while enduring racism, marginalization, and exclusion,” she said. “We could actually start our own little Chinatown right here.”

Actress Margot Robbie is set to earn HUGE praise for her role in Mary, Queen of Scots, and now the Australian is set to star in a totally different movie.

She's officially signed on to produce and star in a live-action BARBIE movie, E! News reported today.

Warner Bros. and Mattel have struck up a partnership to bring the franchise to the cinemas in it's first ever live-action take on the famous doll.

Chairman of Warner Bros, Toby Emmerich, commented on Margot's new role in the project;

"Margot is the ideal producer and actress to bring Barbie to life on screen in a fresh and relevant way for today's audiences." Robbie intends on co-producing the movie under LuckyChap Entertainment.

The 28-year-old actress released a statement expressing her delight at playing the role of Barbie;

"Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child's journey to self-discovery. Over the brand's almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president."

She continued; "I'm so honoured to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can't imagine better partners than Warner Bros. and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen."

Tom Ackerley, Margot's husband, as well as her business partner are also co-producers. Mattel took back the rights after the option passed on Sony's deal, and Robbie signed a first-look negotiation with Warner Bros in 2016.

Chairman and CEO of Mattel, said in a statement; "Barbie is one of the most iconic franchises in the world and we are excited to partner with Warner Bros Pictures and Margot Robbie to bring her to life on the big screen. We look forward to building on this collaboration with Warner Bros Pictures as we tell the stories of our beloved brands."

Amy Schumer was previously roped in to portray the titular doll she dropped out in 2017, saying in a statement, "Sadly, I'm no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts. The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners. I'm bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen." 

A director or release date has yet to be assigned. 

We can't wait to see what Margot does with this role, she really can be anything she wants. Barbie inspo 101.

It took a sledgehammer and a pick-axe, but Donald Trump's star on Hollywood's iconic Walk of Fame has been destroyed.

A member of the public, who identified himself as Jamie Otis, chose to disguise himself as a construction worker before taking the tools to Donald's star in the early hours of this morning.

On a relatively deserted Hollywood Boulevard, the man could be seen chipping away at the star, which Donald was honoured with in 2007, before eventually smashing it to pieces.

According to Deadline, the individual at the centre of the incident claimed his actions were in response to the presidential candidate's treatment of women – both in public and private.

He explained that he had been hoping to extract the star and auction it off in order to raise funds for women who have come forward to accuse Trump of sexually assaulting them in the past.

"It became a celebratory record, but it was about creating a fusion so that everybody around the world could enjoy it.

Kaley Cuoco had an emotional day yesterday after she was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The event was obviously one that was very close to the actress’ heart as she was seen dabbing her eyes with a tissue and told E! News: “I didn’t write a speech, because I thought I would speak from my heart and I already started crying in the car on the way over here, so I got that out of the way. I still think they are going to call and say this was a mistake.”

The Big Bang Theory star also payed homage to her 8 Simple Rules co-star, John Ritter, who passed away suddenly after falling ill during rehearsals for the show.

Kaley posed for a photo with John’s own Walk of Fame star and said: “He must be jumping off the walls right now. I can’t even imagine what’s going on up there.”

It was also reported that Kaley asked for her star to be close to her former on-screen dad’s star – what a sweet thought.

The actress also thanked her husband, Ryan Sweeting in her speech, saying: “My husband Ryan, who has also dealt with a lot of Kaley days, you have no idea how much I love you. This would not be the same without being able to share it with you today.”

Ryan and Kaley were married last January after a whirlwind romance.

Congratulations to the star, it sounds like she had a really lovely day.

It has been revealed that Glee star, Heather Morris, is engaged to her long-term partner, Taylor Hubbell.

Heather, who plays the ever-lovable Britney on the popular show, already has one child with Taylor, a little boy named Elijah.

A source told US Weekly that the pair are delighted with their happy news: “Heather was beaming when spotted wearing her engagement ring.”

Heather won’t be the only Glee star to have walked up the aisle in recent times, as co-star, Naya Rivera recently wed Ryan Dorsey in a ceremony nobody saw coming!

Congratulations to the pair on this wonderful news – we hope to see a big Glee reunion (with singing) at the wedding!

In fact, we hope to see Lea Michele and the rest of the Glee girls as bridesmaids – how perfect would that be?!

Apart from all of the feuding, of course.

With Lea and Naya said to have been at each other's throats on set, maybe Heather should keep them separated at the wedding!

Fans watched with fear as Big Brother contestant Kimberly Kisselovich was removed form the the house and rushed to hospital two weeks ago. 

Now, it has been revealed that Kimberly’s medical issues were caused by an ectopic pregnancy.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg develops outside the womb.
 
Ectopic pregnancies are life threatening for the mother and baby.
 
Kimberly has since said she became pregnant during her time in the Big Brother house, having slept with contestant, Steven Goode. The model has been warned by doctors that she will likely need surgery to remove the egg from her fallopian tube.
 
Kimberly is devastated by the diagnosis, and has been told there is a possibility she will not be able to have children in future: “I’m really concerned. Steven’s speaking to all the doctors – he’s really upset … The doctor has said that there’s a chance I won’t be able to have children. I’m trying to keep positive because we don’t know for certain.”
 
Poor Kimberly, this is such a difficult thing to go through, we hope she feels better soon.
