She raised eyebrows when she jetted into Cannes on Sunday to mingle with A-listers including Rachel Weisz, Sienna Miller, and Miranda Kerr, but Ferne McCann has proven that she was doing more than merely making up the numbers.

Indeed, it has now been revealed that the Towie celeb was in the south of France for a series of exciting get-togethers with leading film executives. 

"Ferne can't believe her luck. She was flown out for a lucrative meeting at the plush La Tonnelle restaurant," says an insider tells The Mirror today.

"She's always dreamed of being an actress, so she's really excited."

Yesterday, she attended a swish boat party wearing a nude wrap dress by Topshop and an YSL clutch. Meanwhile, on Monday night she wore a €200 black beaded dress from H&M when she attended a bash at The Carlton Hotel.

New Media Law director Ian Penman has since confirmed to The Mirror: "We are currently negotiating something for Ferne in Cannes."

The reality TV star split from her boyfriend of five-years Charlie Sims, also a Towie cast member, in March – after he dumped her on Twitter. Unsurprisingly, the move shocked Ferne.

She told Closer magazine recently: ''I thought my life was mapped out.

''Me and Charlie were looking at moving in and I imagined I'd be married by the age of 25 and ready to have kids.

''One night I went to bed, happily in a relationship the next, it was all over – and on social media. It was hard.''

The bar may still very much be under construction – but earlier today Billie Faiers and Gemma Merna were smiling and happy when they called into the Cathedral Bar in Maynooth a full month ahead of its planned launch night.

And the duo were certainly eye-catching in their club-appropriate attire: Gemma wore an LBD by House of CB, while Billie opted for a red-hued crop top and matching pencil skirt from Torn by Ronny Kobo. They even managed to accessorise their looks with… builders hard hats!

 

Billie called the venue, which opens on June 12, “absolutely stunning,” and said: “it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen and the décor is just out of this world.”

She also added with a smile: “We’ll definitely be recommending it as a go-to place for celebs!”

Gemma, 31, is best known for her playing Carmel Valentine on Hollyoaks, a role she left last year to pursue other acting projects. She opened up to Goss.ie earlier today, explaining why she withdrew from her planned appearance on I’m A Celebrity last year – a departure which opened the door for Dublin model Nadia Forde to take her place.

 

“I had just left a soap and for me my priority is being an actress,” she revealed. “So for me my decision was to concentrate on my acting career.”

Meanwhile, The Only Way Is Essex’s Billie also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year. When she’s not staring in reality TV shows, she co-owns and runs a boutique with her younger sister, Sam. At the weekend, 25-year-old Billie was looking decidedly more low-key then she did this morning – namely at a Thomas The Tank Engine event in London.

She attended with her fiancé, Greg Shepherd, whom she marries in September, and their young daughter, Nelly, who turns one in July.

 

The Cathedral Bar was originally a ballroom, hotel and coach house dating back to 1777. It stretches to 2,800sq metres and when completed next month, will be a massive multi-level restaurant and bar complex. The tropical garden outdoor space is a real gem too – complete with a waterfall.

The owners have also signed up head chef Austin Byrne, who moves from the Trocadero in Dublin, to mastermind their kitchens.

The highly anticipated wedding of the year is set to take place later this month, but obviously Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have to get the hens and stag parties out of the way first!

While Michelle Keegan partied in style Dubai with a group of her closest friends, it is clear Mark, who has already had a pre-wedding party, is not going to let his future bride have all the fun!

The TOWIE star is planning on heading to Las Vegas with his mates, but they won’t be getting up to anything worthy of The Hangover as Mark has reportedly banned his friends from taking him to a strip club!

According to sources, while “Mark is definitely up for a laugh” he only wants “good, clean fun without risking any pics surfacing of him with half-naked girls [sic]”

Well, at least he has his priorities straight!

After those beautiful pics of Michelle in Dubai, we can’t wait for photos of the wedding, and her dress, obvs!

Last week it was reported that TOWIE's on-again-off-again couple Chloe Sims and Elliott Wright were very much OFF.

The couple had reunited in December, after breaking up two months earlier following allegations Elliott had slept with another woman.

For the last couple of months it seemed as if they were putting theif differences behind them and making a big effort to settle down together, but last week Chloe confirmed in her Star magazine column that she and Elliott had indeed split again.

Chloe was quite vague about the reasons for the split, simply saying Elliott had been upset she couldn't visit him in Spain and that he "looked at my phone and found some texts he didn't like." Now though, Elliott is telling his own side of the story, and it's not pretty.

"Chloe had said she wanted to get serious, to join me in Spain, settle down and have a baby. Two days after filming ended she asked me to fix her phone and I saw text messages from her ex-boyfriend," he told New! magazine.

"She shot herself in the foot. This ex treated her like s**t. Maybe if I treated her like s**t she might want to settle down with me," continued a bitter-sounding Elliott.

The TOWIE star also slammed the possibilty of a reunion, saying he definitely wanted to move on. "I wouldn't get back with Chloe Sims in a million years. I couldn't trust her as far as I could throw her," he said.

As for Chloe, she simply said the relationship had become "too difficult" and that "Elliott needs someone younger who doesn't have a child to think of."

It sounds like it's really over for good this time around…

Dan Osborne was recently suspended from The Only Way Is Essex – and now it's been confirmed he's gone for good.

The reality star was temporarily banned from the show earlier this year after a domestic abuse scandal involving his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin.

Dan's aggressive behaviour toward Megan came to light when two tapes were leaked to police in which he could reportedly be heard verbally abusing her and threatening her as she sobbed in the background.

The 23-year-old, who recently became a father for the second time in February when his current girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa welcomed a baby girl, was suspended from TOWIE at the height of the scandal.

Now the show's bosses have revealed he won't be returning for any future episodes. "Dan was suspended during the last series of TOWIE, and Lime Pictures and ITV have since decided he will not be returning to the show," ITV producers said in a statement this evening.

"We wish him luck in the future."

Earlier today Dan hit back at media reports that he had begged the show's producers to let him return for the upcoming TOWIE Marbella special, saying it was his decision not to appear.

"@CloserOnline this is COMPLETE lies.. NEVER has Jacqueline said this.. And I've NEVER begged any producer for absolutely anything.. In fact I was the one that said I wouldn't be going Marbella cause me and jac have a holiday lol.." he wrote, posting a screenshot of an article from Closer magazine. 

Whatever the situation, it seems Dan definitely won't be returning to our screens any time soon.

TOWIE's Gemma Collins is rarely seen without a full face of make-up, but earlier today it seemed she had taken things a step too far when it came to her looks.

The 34-year-old posted a picture of herself looking decidedly bare-faced aside from perfectly groomed brows and lips that looked almost painfully swollen.

"Just had my lips and brows done @emalenegrove you are amazing x," Gemma captioned the now-deleted picture. Her followers were quick to speculate about whether Gemma's plump lips were the result of Kylie Jenner-style lip liner or something more drastic, with some insisting she must have had Botox.

"She has such a gorgeous face doesn't need it," wrote one Twitter user, with another adding, "Nothing wrong with you to get this done!!!"

However Gemma herself was quick to clear things up, posting again shortly after to reassure her followers that her new look was all down to some expertly applied make-up.

"Don't panic everyone Im anti Botox and all that fake plastic look I only had lip liner it's called a blush x," she wrote, sharing a picture of herself in the sun looking a little less swollen.

Gemma may be against getting Botox or other procedures on her face, but she's not so wary when it comes to other parts of her body. In fact, the reality star recently revealed that she'd had "designer vagina" surgery to achieve the "perfect" shape down there.

"I actually pride myself. I'm mega confident now because I know I've got a designer vagina. I've not told you this, but I paid two thousand pound and my vagina is perfect now… It looks like something you'd see on a movie," she admitted during a recent episode of TOWIE.

Whatever works for you, Gemma…

The on-off relationship between Chloe Sims and Elliott Wright is in fact over – again!

Chloe opened up about the split in her column for Star magazine.

It appears that his move to Marbella put too much strain on the relationship.

Chloe told Star magazine: "There have been lots of stories about me and Elliott, but I can reveal to you first that it's over between us again."

"It all became too complicated – I couldn't visit him in Spain on the first weekend he invited me, which caused bad feeling," she added.

Being apart wasn't the only thing causing problems for the couple though.

Chloe claimed: "Also, before he flew out he looked at my phone and found some texts he didn't like – he sent me a long message last week saying it wasn't working." 

Oh dear! 

Chloe agreed with Elliott and realised he needed "someone younger who doesn't have a child to think of."

Is it really the end this time though?

When Sam Faiers signed a deal to pen her autobiography, she obviously decided it was going to be a no-holds-barred rant of epic proportions and, jeez, did she deliver.

In extracts of the tell-all autobiography published in The Sun, Sam called out her ex-boyfriend Joey Essex on his juvenile behaviour  and made no secret of the fact she has little to no time for her former flame.

Sam, branded Joey, who she dated for two years, as 'delusional', saying: "If delusion was an Olympic sport Joey would have a gold medal."

Oooh, burn!

According to 24-year-old Sam, her ex-boyfriend was more interested in the nightclub scene and making cash than spending time working on their relationship.

Explaining that she had to call time on their romance  for her own good, Sam admitted that Joey wasn't likely to change, saying: "That's why we had to break up, for the sake of my sanity."

In a revelation that isn't going to do a whole lot for Joey's rep, his ex-girlfriend suggests that he's 'a little boy lost', saying: "He is like Peter Pan, frozen in time and unable to handle anything bad or real."

We're actually scared to imagine the fall-out from this one!

If a friendship can withstand this, then it can pretty much withstand anything.

Former TOWIE star Cara Kilbey proved she's a grade A gal after she forgave her mate Lauren Goodger for driving over her foot this weekend and leaving her in a cast.

Taking to social media to highlight the result of Lauren's questionable driving skills, Cara posted a snap of herself sporting an enormous cast on her right foot and a cute pedi on her left one.

Deciding to take the high road and remain good humoured about the accident, the lovely Cara captioned the shot with a very tongue-in-cheek post, writing: "Suppose it's a day indoors then… Thank you @LaurenGoodger for running my foot over."

Determined to remedy the situation, the hapless Lauren apologised for the mishap, writing: "@carakilbey nothing can be normal with us- like I said shout me if you need any running about…Loves ya #sorry #imsillycow."

Cara, who has experienced incredibly sad times recently, seemed to take the whole incident on the chin and was flooded with well wishes from concerned fans and followers.

Expressing shock that Lauren actually landed her mate in hospital, one concerned fan wrote: "Did she actually?!"

Unfortunately yes, she did!

Marnie Simpson has been very loved up with The Only Way Is Essex star Ricky Rayment since the National Television Awards in January.

While this is great for the pair, it is not so great for Geordie Shore fans. She told BANG Showbiz that she is worried about being away from Ricky for so long while she is tied up with Geordie Shore.

“I’m very nervous about it because I’m not going to have any contact with Ricky for like two months, and, for me, that’s going to be so hard because I’m not going to be able to focus on what I’m supposed to be doing, because I’m going to be thinking about what he’s doing.”

Simpson then went on to say how her love for Ricky could be strong enough to make her leave the show after being questioned about whether or not she would consider it.

“Yeah. 100 percent yeah, because I love him and I don’t want to put him through the torture of like, thinking about me, and I don’t want to put myself through that.”

Uh-oh!

Marnie then added “Honestly, it would take a lot for me to ever leave it. I love Geordie Shore. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us. I couldn’t thank them enough so I would never ever leave them.”

Thank god. We think it’s safe to say we will be seeing more of Marnie’s antics on the show for a very long time.

Lydia Bright is one patient woman.

The TOWIE star reunited with her ex boyfriend James Argent in last night's dramatic series finale, after he wrote her a letter detailing every single time he had cheated on her during their eight-year relationship.

Speaking about reading the letter, Lydia said it was "quite bad" to discover exactly how many times James had been unfaithful. However she said she was willing to believe he wanted to change for the better.

James was suspended from TOWIE last October after a number of incidents, including a drug test which showed cocaine in his system.

He completed a stint in rehab before returning for this series, and since then, he seems to have been working through his issues, even throwing a huge Mad Hatter themed party in last night's episode to thank his friends for the support they have shown him over the last few months.

Lydia seemed ready to forgive and forget as she discussed the letter with James. "It was definitely hard reading it," she told him. "But I know the person who did all those things wasn't you. It was the person you were when you were going through your crazy period."

Despite James' repeated infidelities, Lydia said she believed she could learn to trust him again.

"I'd be naive to think that after going through this that we will just run off into the sunset holding hands. That's not going to happen. There are going to be huge trust issues – but we can work on them."

During their tearful reunion, the pair began discussing their dreams of marriage and a future together. "Lydia, I worship the ground you walk on. I adore you," James admitted to his girlfriend. 

"When I dream about getting married, you are the only person I imagine at the altar with me. There has to be a reason why we always end up back together. But if we decide to give this another shot, this has to be it now. It's serious now. You and me forever. I love you."

Lydia seemed equally smitten, telling James, "I love you more."

It seems like they really are willing to make a go of things – we hope it works out.

Frankie Essex and her decorator boyfriend John Lyons may have parted ways, but it seems they had quite a turbulent relationship when they were together.

A friend of Frankie's has revealed to The Sun that the reality star often got into "rough" fights with her boyfriend, many of which resulted in police being called to her home.

In one particular incident, Frankie injured John in the neck with a glass while trying to protect herself.

It was "not unusual for them to be rowing," said the insider. "But this was a particularly nasty argument… She never meant to hurt him but he surged towards her and she panicked and tried to push him away. She caught him on the neck with her glass." 

Frankie, who made a shock re-entry to TOWIE in last week's episode, was not charged for the incident.

However it's believed police were called to Frankie's home at least 50 times during her relationship with John, which lasted just over two years.

The pair were known to have a dramatic relationship, but Frankie said in an interview last year that she believed he was the man for her despite everything. "I hope he's the one, I'm not in it for nothing," she said.

Sounds to us like they might be better off apart all the same.
