Peter Andre on Strictly Come Dancing has been a long time coming - the star has been asked to take part for the last three series.
The singer, who was confirmed for the BBC show earlier this week, told Free Radio that he's "incredibly excited and incredibly nervous".
Explaining how the producers "have been kind enough to ask [him] for the last three years", Andre admitted that he thought his window of opportunity had come and gone.
"I remember the last year when they asked, we couldn't do it because we still had the reality show and these sorts of things we were committed to, and you need a certain amount of hours a week to film, etc," he said.
"So I said to [manager] Claire, 'They're not gonna ask me next year, they won't'. I said, 'The show's too big now, it's become the biggest show on TV and they don't need to ask anyone,...

Sarah Harding was originally in talks to play a lesbian in 'Coronation Street'. The former Girls Aloud singer revealed that when she met the show's bosses to discuss potential roles in the ITV soap, they settled on the part of a romantic love interest for Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent ) who would come between her and then-girlfriend Maddie Heath (Amy Kelly). Sarah told Free Radio: ''We just threw a load of ideas out there. At one point I was going to possibly come between the lesbian girls but it didn't happen.'' However, whilst Maddie was killed off in a dramatic fire back in...

Yes, this is really Renee Zellweger.
It's safe to say Renee Zellweger's looking a little different these days.
The 45-year-old actress made an appearance at Elle's 21st Annual Women In Hollywood Celebration in Beverly Hills, Calif. Monday night, and her nearly unrecognizable appearance is shocking to say the least.
No, your eyes are not deceiving you -- this really is what the Bridget Jones' Diary star currently looks like.
Photos: Most Shocking Celeb Transformations
Though many speculate that Renee's new look is the result of plastic surgery -- pointing to her completely wrinkle-free face -- she has never addressed the reports.
She has, however, commented on the criticism that she's too thin.
"When you read reports that you are starving yourself or that you are anorexic it's very unfair and disappointing," she told the U.K.'s Daily Express last November. "It's not very pleasant to read reports which say you've gone too far or...

If Renee Zellweger is up for doing another Bridget Jones's Diary movie, what's the hold up? "It would be fun," Zellweger says. Sadly, the Chicago star insists she isn't in the loop on the third film's progress. "I have no idea," she told me at yesterday's Als Walk, where she was participating in honor of her longtime publicist Nanci Ryder. "I'm not being cagey. I just don't know." Hugh Grant recently revealed that he has pulled out of the project. "The book's excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different—or the script as I last saw it a few years ago," Grant said in a recent Free Radio interview. "And in the...

Hey, remember how they’re making another Bridget Jones movie? No? Neither did I, until this very moment. Some of that might have to do with the fact that the last film, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, was a sort of poorer cousin to the very good Bridget Jones’s Diary. While author Helen Fielding decided to return to her popular series one more time in the book Mad About the Boy, I think many of us simply forgot about the character. Hollywood, however, has not, and still plans to make a Bridget Jones 3 – but they’re going to have to do it without Hugh Grant.
When asked about reprising his role as Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones 3, Hugh Grant informed Free Radio (via Cinema Blend) that he will not appear in the film. The reason for this appears to be script-related:

Dammit, Daniel Cleaver! Hugh Grant will not reprise his role as the shady but sexy book publisher in a third Bridget Jones film, co-starring Colin Firth and Renée Zellweger. "The book's excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different—or the script as I last saw it a few years ago," Grant, 54, said in a recent Free Radio interview. "And in the end I decided not to do it. But I think they are going to go ahead and do it without Daniel." Two years ago, it was reported that Grant was unhappy with the initial screenplay for the follow-up film, which was being put together with the help of novelist Helen Fielding. Then titled Bridget Jones's Baby, the movie was said to focus...

Who is essential, as an actor, to Bridget Jones 3? Surely, Renee Zellweger would be looked at to reprise her role as the central character. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant also should be deemed necessary if a third Bridget Jones is going to try to get off the ground.

It has had trouble landing a committed director, the script has constantly been in flux and production never quite seemed to commence. Now the third Bridget Jones film seems to be without one of its key players. Hugh Grant has said in a radio interview that he won't be appearing in the new film.“I decided not to do it,” says Grant, who played love rat Daniel Cleaver in the film, in an interview with Free Radio in the Midlands (picked up by The Telegraph). “But I think they’re going to go ahead and do it without Daniel. The book’s excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different – well, the script as I last saw it a few years ago.”Despite Grant’s request for script re-writes earlier in the film’s development, it would seem that no common ground could be found and he’s...

After being attached for several years, Hugh Grant says he's no longer involved in the proposed third film in the "Bridget Jones' Diary" franchise.
In an interview for Free Radio (via THR), Grant said: "I decided not to do it, but I think they're going to go ahead and do it without Daniel." Grant played Daniel opposite Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth in the 2001 original and its 2004 sequel.
The film itself has long been in development and back in 2012 was halted due to Grant's unhappiness with the script. At the time Working Title denied the report.

Even if you think you've found the guy you're totally obsessed with, don't show up uninvited to his parents' house. (Trust me.) Unfortunately, about 100 confused One Direction fans did just that, flocking to Liam Payne's mom and dad's garden in the hopes of finding hidden tickets to a 1D concert in Birmingham, England. Per the Press Association, Free Radio, a U.K. station, was running a competition for two free tickets to the sold-out show. Among the clues for where to find these hidden tickets? "They are close to somewhere beautiful" that "could have been an ancient burial site," which somehow Directioners decided must be the Paynes' yard. The boy-bander's...

One Direction fans flocked to Liam Payne's family home after a competition to find hidden tickets to see the band went wrong.
A radio station broadcast clues to find two tickets to a sell-out 1D gig in Birmingham, and around 100 listeners misinterpreted the hints - believing they led to Liam's parents' garden.
Liam's dad Geoff called Free Radio in the West Midlands and told them: "I'm much better now that the competition is over. I've had people loitering around the house for days on end now. I'm glad someone won it. There have been people hiding round corners looking for them."
The tickets were eventually found taped to the back of a nearby road sign in Wolverhampton, but eager fans reportedly searched the Payne's garden, hunting in bushes, plant pots and wheelie bins.
