New! Magazine – 29 July 2019

MTV bosses came in for some flak

after announcing they will bring

back Ex On The Beach, despite

the suicide of Mike Thalassitis.

The tragic Love Island star was

due to appear on series 10 of the

dating show, but it was canned

after his untimely death.

Yes, Ex is tacky and

exploitative – like most reality

TV shows – but contestants

get nothing like the attention

stars of Love Island do. Either

way, I doubt Mike’s part in

the series had any bearing

on his sad decision to

take his own life.

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest

X Factor fan. In fact, I think the

show should have been put out of

its misery years ago.

However, I may be about to revise

that opinion now I’ve learned former

Strictly heartbreaker Brendan Cole has

teamed up with 90s soap hunk Jeremy

Edwards, who set hearts aflutter on

Hollyoaks and Holby City, to create a

man band for this autumn’s celebrity

version. Oh, be still my beating heart!

I haven’t been this excited since

The usual suspects have been out in force

moaning about the casting of black actress

Lashana Lynch as the new 007, with Piers

Morgan’s missus, journalist Celia Walden,

calling the decision “the worst kind of

virtue-signalling”.

Let’s be clear – while Lashana has taken

Bond’s agent number, she hasn’t stolen the

role, which still very much belongs to dullard

Daniel Craig. In the new, as yet untitled, film

he’s retired to the Caribbean, and Lashana’s

character has inherited his licence to kill.

Personally, I think cinema-goers will be

overjoyed to see Lashana sashay into MI6

HQ to meet M. It’ll be an iconic moment in

Bond history that all true fans of the movie

series will treasure.

THE BLAME

GAME

I’ve always thought renewing your wedding vows

is asking for trouble. In the celebrity world, these

ceremonies are usually swiftly followed by divorce

(I’m thinking of you, Seal and Heidi Klum). So I hope

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field know what they’re

getting themselves into by agreeing to walk down the

aisle again after almost 10 years of marriage.

Ayda has revealed Robbie “proposed” on her 40th

birthday, and it already looks like she’s getting carried

away. “I need a tiara, I need bridesmaids. You know our

first wedding was small so we need a big dress!” she

told Loose Women viewers.

Nice as it will be for their kids to see them tie the knot,

I sense a Bridezilla moment coming on. Rob, I hope you

know what you’ve let yourself in for!

AISLE BE THERE
