Michael Barrymore quits Dancing On Ice

Michael Barrymore's TV comeback is not to be, as he has been forced to pull out of Dancing on Ice due to a broken hand.

The funnyman, 67, one of the star signings for the ITV series, formally quit the series this morning and will now be replaced by Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.

Michael was hoping to resurrect his career, which was devastated when party guest Stuart Lubbock died in his swimming pool in 2001.

Laura Whitmore to take over from Caroline Flack on Love Island

Laura Whitmore is set to replace Caroline Flack as the host of Love Island and co-host Aftersun with boyfriend Iain Stirling.

As The Sun Online revealed exclusively, Laura, 34, was locked in meetings with ITV yesterday and is the favourite to take over the job as host from her close friend Caroline, 40.

The Irish TV host - who dates Love Island voice-over Iain Stirling - has “had a chat” with show bosses about taking over the role as main host, a source told us yesterday.

ITV is expected to announce its decision any day now and are also keen to rope in Laura's boyfriend to co-host the spin-off with her as well.

Natalie Nunn's on the warpath

Natalie Nunn has slammed Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne amid claims they refused to meet with her and discuss claims she had a threesome with Dan and Chloe Ayling.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday evening, Natalie shared: "I have really tired hard to keep all this not public but don't try and keep it going through the media.

"I asked for a sit down I asked for a private couples face to face talk and even came there to the UK!"

"Now it's what am I doing in London and now that I'm home, its let's talk."

The star flew to London with her American football player husband Jacob Payne and her rant came hours after it was alleged that Jacqueline, 27, made Dan, 28, change his phone number so "other women" can't get in touch with him.

The 34-year-old's rant came days after Dan met with Natalie and Jacob, where he tried to persuade her to deny the sleazy claims, according to a source.

Caroline Flack's pals speak out about her being axed from Love Island

One of the former Love Island host's friends said: “Caroline literally took the series on her shoulders and defended the show so much in the wake of all the controversy over duty of care to ex-Islanders.

“She represented the show at Mike’s funeral and was also there for his family.

“Bosses heaped so much pressure on her to get the right messages across which she gladly took on as she loves the show so much.

“But when Caroline needed help herself, they cut ties. She feels totally let down.”
