News and gossip for celebrity addicts

Kim Woodburn has criticised Katie Price for her publicity seeking behaviour.
During her time in the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle the runner up admitted that she finds Katie’s behaviour false but has launched a fresh attack on the glamour model.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Kim said: “The thing with Katie is that I can’t stand bull. She’s not 20. She’s 30-odd and she needs to grow up.
“She was doing all this, ‘The minute I get out, I’ll be plagued with photographers’. Well, I can’t take that nonsense. She lives and breathes publicity. It’s what drives her, so she should stop bleating on about it, because we know it’s false.”
However, the How Clean Is Your House star admitted that she understood why, saying: “She has an extremely good career, but it won’t last forever. I reckon she’s got, at most, another four or five years. When she is 37 or so, it will be over, and that girl knows it. I can’t blame her for it. I’d do it myself if I had her assets.”
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Coming Out is on tonight at 9pm on ITV 1.

I’m A Celeb stars Stuart Manning and Gino D’Acampo have been charged with animal cruelty following their departure from the jungle, reports suggest.
During their stay in camp the pair killed and ate a rat leading to their arrest following an investigation by the Australian RSPCA.
Speaking to the News of The World, a show source said: “There were rats used for the bushtucker trials and they were as tame as hamsters.
“They were used to human contact and not afraid like wild ones who would run away. The killing made for dramatic TV. But it’s likely the animal was one of the trial rats.”
ITV confirmed that the situation is being investigated and released a statement, saying: “Australian RSPCA are currently looking into an incident in which a rat was killed in the camp.”
Stuart and Gino are allegedly due to appear in court in February and could face up to three years in jail.

Reports suggest Alex spent thousands of pounds on an engagement ring and flew out to Australia to propose live on TV.
Speaking to Ant and Dec following her jungle exit, Katie said: “I did a lot of thinking while I was in there, a lot of stuff happened that shouldn’t have happened.
“I realised I just want to be on my own. I hope we can still be friends, but for now that’s it.
“As far as I’m concerned I’m not with him.”
Katie also admitted that she had behaved like a “twit” over the past seven months and that being in the jungle had given her time to think.

Alex Reid is flying out to Australia to propose to girlfriend Katie Price, reports suggest.
Speaking to the News of the World before he left, the cage fighter said: ”I’m definitely asking her to marry me and I’m convinced she’s going to say yes. I might pop the question on TV.
“One idea is I make the proposal in front of cameras on the show, but whatever happens, I know this is right. I’ve never felt this way before.
“I’m convinced Katie’s going to feel the same way. I know what we’re like when we’re together. When I’m with Katie it’s full-on 24/7.
“She ended the Pete chapter of her life in that jungle. Now it’s time for her to start a new fairytale. But this time I think it’ll go the distance.”
Alex revealed that he has been saving for an engagement ring for a while: ”I want the very best I can afford. Katie has very delicate hands and very specific tastes.
“I’ve picked out a design of a pink diamond in an ornate setting. I’m going shopping in the next few days on the way to Australia.”
The former Hollyoaks actor added that he had not considered the possibility that the glamour model might reject his proposal.

Former Mis-Teeq singer Sabrina Washington has signed up to take part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, reports suggest.
The 31-year-old is well known for speaking her mind and has previously said that her ex-bandmate Alesha Dixon should only MC as her singing voice is not up to standard.
Producers are hoping that Sabrina will clash with model and singer Sam Fox who is also rumoured to be appearing.
A source told The Sun: “These two have both got the looks and the tempers to really raise the temperature in the jungle. Obviously the producers want gripping telly and having two gorgeous girls at each other’s throats would be a great crowd pleaser.”
