If you assumed that Scarlett Moffatt prepared for her stint in the I'm a Celebrity jungle by tending to her tan, nails and eyebrows, you would have been selling the Gogglebox star a little short.

While being interviewed on Capital North East Breakfast, the 26-year-old revealed that because she had been anticipating the horror involved in Bushtucker Trials she decided to get a head of her fellow campers by simulating her own trials at home.

According to the star, she has been "eating really chewy Scotch eggs and pretending they are kangaroo balls".

No, seriously.

And even if she's lucky enough to skip the kangaroo testicles once Down Under, Scarlett still fears the rations of rice and beans she will be provided with due to the effect they have on her intestines.

"I do get a bit windy on a night and you're, like, with people aren't you?" she said. "I'm going to have to be like 'eeee did you hear that!? What's that noise?"

Oh, and if you think our favourite Gogglebox star is planning to showcase her new figure in a Myleene Klass-inspired shower moment, think again.

"My tan will go really streaky. At some point it will look like I have some sort of disease!" Scarlett said. "I think I might just go for dips in the lake, I don't think I'm a shower sort of person."

We can't WAIT to see her in action around the campfire.

While her ex-husband appears to have found humour in the whole incident, two members of the Loose Women panel are struggling to hide their disdain regarding Millie Mackinstosh's decision to destroy her wedding dress.

The former Made in Chelsea star made headlines last week after it was revealed she ruined the Grace Loves Lace gown she wore to wed rapper Professor Green in 2013.

According to the press, the reality star shredded her dress and covered it in blood as a Halloween stunt – something which Janet Street Porter and Ruth Langsford are struggling to get their heads around.

Discussing Millie's decision on yesterday's episode of the show, Janet didn't hold back, saying: "It’s horrible to make a statement like that, it’s childish."

Chiming in with her co-presenter, Ruth agreed and added: "I don’t like the idea of trashing a dress for anything."

In contrast, Millie's ex didn't appear to have a problem with the stunt, recently telling Phillip Schofield that he's just glad she got some more use out of it.

"At least she got to wear it again! It's hers to do what she wants with. If you can’t have a sense of humour. Divorce is horrible but if you can’t look back at your marriage with any kindness then it was a mistake." he told This Morning viewers.

Millie and Professor Green called time on their relationship in February of this year.

When it comes to romance, the ladies in Little Mix have had their fair share of misfortune, but it sounds like they all subscribe to the 'Sisters Before Misters' school of thought if their recent interview with Jonathan Ross is anything to go by.

Amid reports that Jesy Nelson and Jake Roche have called time on their engagement, the Shout Out To My Ex singers grabbed a seat on Jonathan's sofa and revealed that they were able to navigate their break-ups with the help of their bandmates.

In the interview which is due to air tonight, Jesy told Jonathan: "That's what's lovely about being in a group, we all literally support each other and when we're going through bad times we can all relate to it."

Reflecting on her high-profile split from Zayn Malik last year, Perrie said: ""For a normal girl to go through something like that it's hard."

"I think when the whole world is looking at it and talking about it, you feel a bit affected by it."

Like Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock also saw the end of her relationship, but insists her place in the band meant she got through it relatively well.

"When I split up with my ex, I was thinking 'I have got my three best friends, what does it matter?' she said.

"I'm so lucky to have these girls and that's how we feel all the time. We're the best of friends. People don't believe that we actually get on as well." she added.

According to reports this week, Jesy decided to end her engagement to fiance Jake after growing frustrated by his lack of interest in their wedding.

So, it sounds like Jesy is going to need her girls more than ever right now.

When it comes to the world of celebrity, there is a very distinct hierarchy.

And unfortunately for many British reality TV show stars, they often get a fairly hefty dose of… well… reality when they realise that not everybody who appears on television is held in the same regard.

Venting about this issue in her column for Star magazine, The Only Way is Essex cast member, Chloe Sims, expressed confusion over the fact she was denied entry to a club because an Olympic medallist was already inside.

Eager to highlight the 'downsides' of fame, Chloe wrote: "Once I got told I wasn’t allowed in because Usain Bolt was there. What’s that got to do with me?’"

34-year-old Chloe insists her role on the ITVBe reality show often means she's judged unfairly by the general public – something which apparently sometimes wreaks havoc on a night out.

"I've been refused entry to a nightclub three times because I’m on the show', she complained.

Don't worry Chloe, there's still always Marbs.

Chat show hosts and stand-up comedians in the United States have been burdoned with what many would consider an insurmountable task this week.

In a week which will go down in American history for all the wrong reasons, the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have been relied upon to inject humour into the fact Donald J Trump yesterday became the 45th President of the United States.

But given the understandable anger, distress and frustration felt by millions of American citizens this week, it's not been easy… and yet, they've somehow managed it.

Take Jimmy Kimmel, for example, who acknowledged that for many of his viewers, Trump's election has instigated a process akin to mourning.

Taking that theme and running with it, the uber popular late night host talked his audience through the various stages of grief which he believes they are currently experiencing.

And despite the disheartening subject matter, Jimmy managed to offer up some serious LOLS.

Good man yourself, Jimbo.

If an email marked 'Netflix cancellation' lands in your email inbox, take a deep breath and ignore it, ladies.

While the thoughts of someone putting an end to our nightly TV binges sends a chill through most of us, the company have assured customers that the email which is currently doing the rounds did not originate with them.

According to the Independent, the email informs customers that their account has been cancelled and requests they click on a link and input credit card details in order to reactivate it.

It has been established that the link directs customers to a phishing website, so your enthusiasm to 'reactive' your 'dead' account could cost you your savings.

"Phishing scams are, unfortunately, very common and often exploit well known brands. Internet users should always be cautious when they receive an email request any personal information or credit card details.” said Nicola Watkins, a spokesperson for Netflix.

Customers have been asked to contact Netflix at phishing@netflix.com if they receive an email which raises concern.

The entire plot of Game of Thrones Season Seven has reportedly been leaked online.

Fans of the hit show were left in turmoil today after a report by GOT community site Watchers on the Wall suggested that a Reddit leak of the plot may well be legitimate.

According to The Huffington Post, Reddit user awayforthelads shared Season Seven spoilers online three weeks ago, but it wasn’t until Watchers on the Wall confirmed some of the leaked details by comparing them to set photographs and source information that viewers began to take the leak seriously.

So what did this mysterious Reddit user predict?

WARNING: THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO LOOK AWAY!

If the leak’s claims are correct, Dany and Jon Snow hook up, the Wall falls, Arya kills Littlefinger, Jon does not find out who his real parents are, Jon’s real name is Aegon, Olenna acknowledges that she poisoned Joffrey, Cersei is pregnant, Targaryen recognises Jon and the White Walkers take control of one of Dany’s dragons.

Naturally, fans of the show have been left distraught by news of the leak.  Many have taken to Twitter to discuss their internal state of struggle.

If anyone has had a crash course in the downsides of fame, it's X Factor contestant Honey G.

In the spotlight only mere months, the aspiring rapper has had to deal with her fair share of criticism, and it looks like it's only served to make her more determined to smash it in the charts.

Countless viewers have been vocal in their disbelief over Honey G's progress in the ITV show, and now heavy-hitters in the music industry have added to the backlash against her.

When asked her opinion of the contestant, Lily Allen responded: "I find it offensive. So wrong on so many levels, I can’t even start to talk about it.”

Similarly, rapper Professor Green was far from impressed with her performances thus far, saying: "I just don’t think she’s a very credible representation."

Hitting back at the criticism, Honey G reminded her haters that she has an extensive background in music and has the support of two major global stars.

"Lily Allen said she finds it offensive but she needs to get her facts right. Professor Green said I’m taking the mickey out of rap music," Honey G confirmed.

"My mum is a pianist and I’ve followed in her footsteps. Her music is classical and mine is rap. I come from a musical background. People haven’t done their homework on me." she insisted.

Suggesting Professor Green might need a big ol' serving of humble pie, she added: "But then Snoop Dogg has talked about doing a record with me and 50 Cent has backed me."

Hmm, we wonder what they'll make of that…

With reports suggesting Millie Mackintosh had destroyed her wedding dress in order to create a Halloween costume, it's no surprise Phillip Schofield broached the topic with Millie's ex, Professor Green, when he appeared on This Morning earlier today.

Grabbing a slot on the show to promote his latest single, the Just Be Good To Green singer, who split with Millie in February of this year, was forced to comment on his former wife's supposed antics.

And, in fairness to him, he played an absolute blinder.

"Come on mate, you've got to have a sense of humour," he told Phillip. "Divorce is horrible but if you've been married to a person and you can't look back with kindness you've made a mistake."

Honing in on the rapper's new track, Phillip suggested he may be playing Millie at her own game by penning a 'revenge' song – a suggestion that didn't sit well with the 32-year-old star.

"It's not a revenge break up song, revenge for what? It's mad to me, revenge for what?" he asked the host in response to the idea.

Yeah Phillip, revenge for what?!

We're with you on this one, Green.

Let's be honest, dropping to your knees and sliding across a floor is a move generally reserved for hyper seven-year-old boys at weddings.

That, however, didn't stop aspiring rapper, Honey G, going for it at the weekend after learning she had made it through to X Factor's next live show.

But unfortunately for the 35-year-old contestant, she didn't quite pull it off, and ended up almost face-plating in front of millions of viewers.

While Honey G played it cool in the wake of the facepalm moment, Twitter had absolutely no chill.

Twitosphere, you can take it from here.

It seems like there's one controversy after another in this year's X Factor, and the latest contestant to get on the wrong side of the public is Finnish contestant Saara Aalto.

Having had her performance dubbed 'ridiculous' by Simon Cowell on Sunday night, Saara probably didn't expect her weekend to get much worse, but it looks like she was mistaken.

Slamming the star and the production theme for her Japanese-inspired performance of Sound of the Underground by Girls Aloud, X Factor viewers wasted no time branding the singer 'racist'.

"Why have they styled Sound of the Underground into a weird racist parody of Japan? I thought it couldn't get any worse this week #XFactor." wrote one viewer on Twitter in the wake of the performance.

"OK I like Saara but why is she dressed like an offensively stereotypical Japanese woman singing Sound of the Underground?? #XFactor," added another.

Commenting on the backlash this morning, Saara told Good Morning Britain hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard she thoroughly enjoyed her performance, but insists the production team had a lot to do with the concept.

"I loved it, because I love Japanese culture – I've studied it for many years." she said earlier today. "We had a party in Tokyo with that song. I wanted to bring something new, so it was kind of my idea to bring something Asian to it."

"But then, it was mainly the intro of the song that I did in an Asian way, but then the costume, the staging… they were like woah, very produced!"

Something tells us that won't be enough to placate viewers…

Tulisa Contostavlos has denied reports which suggest she pulled out of this year’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here days before she was due to fly to Australia.

According to the Daily Star, show sources claimed the singer had a last minute change of heart about appearing in the 16th series of the reality show because she has a fear of insects.

However a rep for the former X Factor judge has since told The Mirror that Tulisa couldn’t have dropped out of the series because she had never agreed to take part to begin with.

Tulisa’s rep said: “This story is complete lies.  Tulisa never signed up for I’m a Celebrity this year.  She never even had a meeting with the show this year.”

The Daily Star suggested that the former N-Dubz singer had been approached on multiple occasions about entering the famous jungle with an offer of £500,000 reportedly being put forward.
