Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom outs himself as a secret Towie fan after grilling Sam Faiers on show at LA bash
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star recognised the ex-Towie star at a pre-Oscars bash
AMBITIOUS SAM FAIERS is starting to make waves in Hollywood, and has already become a big hit with Pirates Of The Caribbean superstar ORLANDO BLOOM.
Reality star Sam introduced herself to the actor at a pre-Oscars bash in LA and was amazed when he instantly recognised her from her Towie days.
My source said: “Orlando told her he was a huge fan of The Only Way Is Essex and started grilling her on the show. Sam was stunned.”
Sam’s latest series of The Mummy Diaries, focusing on family life in LA, starts at 9pm on ITVBe on April 12.
The campaign to get Orlando on a boozy Sugar Hut night out starts here.
He’d be Legolas in no time.

C4 cop show's a true crime
CHANNEL 4 has always come third in the overall ratings behind the BBC and ITV – but it is now in danger of dropping down further.
Its latest crime drama, Eyewitness, began last week but the programme’s biggest crime was its lack of appeal to viewers.
The show pulled in the lowest audience for the 10pm slot in the history of the channel.
At one point on Thursday just 110,000 were watching.
But even worse news for Eyewitness, and Channel 4, is that the dire nature of the ratings performance meant it was eclipsed by a raft of rivals, including Channel 5, ITV2, BBC4, Film4, Dave and 5USA.

The drama explores the repercussions of a killing in a small, sleepy town.
The crime also threatens to expose the secret relationship between two gay teens – and highlights the struggles of being a foster child.
Actress ANNEKE VON DER LIPPE became the first Norwegian to win an Emmy, for her performance as local police chief Helen Sikkeland, but the drama has clearly failed to resonate with the British public.
The rest of the series is available now through on-demand channel All 4.
I can’t see there being much demand for this one.
