Been through the wars Rochelle? Miss Wiseman dons a bloodied dress for her Halloween outing

She had left band mate Vanessa White's birthday party looking a little worse for wear the previous night.

But Rochelle Wiseman's sleepy eyes on Saturday were nothing compared to her ravaged appearance the following evening.

In fairness however, the effect was intentional, as the Saturdays star had dolled herself up in deliberately gory fashion for the Dolce Parties Halloween bash.

Quick recovery? Rochelle had looked tired when she left her Saturdays bandmate Vanessa White's birthday party the previous night

The 22-year-old arrived at Soho's No5 Cavendish club in a gingham dress spattered with fake blood, carrying a large teddy bear who also looked like it had been in the wars.


She complemented her dress with a sexy pair of knee-length white socks, which she teamed with high black heels.

To complete her child-like look, Rochelle made her cheeks rosy with circles of scarlet face paint, and curled her hair into long ringlets.

Though Rochelle's overall appearance was very effective, it appears that her costume was a last minute affair.

According to her Twitter page, the star had originally intend to dress up as a murdered chef', until her plans went awry.

'I bought my Halloween outfit today for a lil party with my girlies, but they are all dressed pretty hot and I'm gonna be covered in blood...' she wrote.

'I'm going as 'hells kitchen' the murdered chef! Shock my outfit had something to do with food lol'

There were definitely a few doubts surfacing as the party drew closer however, as Rochelle later added: 'I bet everyone will be dressed up as playboy bunnies or hot devils and I'm a 'bloody chef' quite literally! Oh dear'

And it seems her dress rehearsal proved the final straw, as her final word on the idea was: 'Oh so the cook idea is no more it looked AWFUL!!!!!!'

Rochelle was probably relieved that she'd changed her outfit when she saw what a few other guests were wearing.

George Lineker's date for the evening was dressed in a saucy red silk ensemble, showcasing her long legs.

And TOWIE star Jessica Wright wore a pink cheerleader outfit, showing off her assets with a plunging neckline- making her appropriately bloodied neck all the more visible.

Never one to miss a party, Jessica's brother Mark turned up as an ashen-faced zombie, with tawny gold highlights in his usually dark hair.

It'll be straight back to work for Rochelle today however, as the Saturdays start rehearsals for their upcoming All Fired Up tour which starts on December 2 in Bournemouth.

They are also getting prepared to release their third album, On Your Radar at the end of November.

Melanie Sykes ~ Presenter 41 peels off for first naked shoot

By 'eck, Melanie Sykes! Presenter, 41, declares 'I'm in the best shape of my life' as she peels off for first naked shoot



By Emily Sheridan

During her 20 year modelling career, Melanie Sykes refused to pose nude.

Although a regular feature in lads' mags in the late Nineties, the TV presenter never went the whole hog and stripped off completely.

But feeling more confident with her body than ever before, Sykes decided to peel off for her first naked photoshoot in men's magazine Esquire at the age of 41.

Throughout her career, Sykes was frequently approached to do naked shoots, but always refused.

But at the age of 41, the former Big Breakfast star said she feels in the best shape of her life.

The full interview with Sykes is in the December issue of Esquire magazine, on sale November 2

An avid gym user, Sykes has taken an even greater interest in working out after she starting dating personal trainer Craig Eleftheriou, 28, earlier this year.

She tells the December issue of Esquire: 'I've constantly been asked to be naked in magazines. But right now I'm in the best shape of my life. I look better than I've ever looked. So you think, "Why the hell not?".

When asked how she maintains her fabulous figure, she admits: 'You've got to watch the booze. But you can't let exercise rule your life. I do like me pork scratchings.'

Sykes started dating Eleftheriou in April after meeting at their local gym.

When asked about their 13-year age gap, she replied: 'I always go for younger men. What's wrong with having a type?

'He reaps all the benefits from my fitness, that's for sure.'

Her new romance comes three years after she split from actor husband Daniel Caltagirone, father of her sons Roman, nine, and Valentino, seven.

The pair separated in 2008 after seven years of marriage and divorced the following year.

n divorce papers released to the public after the divorce hearing in 2009, Sykes claimed she had been left 'distressed' by her husband's failure to understand their financial troubles.

She also cited her husband's 'unreasonable behaviour' as the reason for the break-up.

Nicole Scherzinger looks glum as she celebrates Halloween with Louis Walsh after X Factor performance

Perk up! Nicole Scherzinger looks glum as she celebrates Halloween with Louis Walsh after X Factor performance

They often say the best way to get over a break up is make yourself as busy as possible so you don't think about your ex.

And that appears to be exactly what Nicole Scherzinger is doing.

After performing during the X Factor elimination show last night, the singer joined judge Louis Walsh, for a Halloween party in London.

But she didn't look particularly spooky - just glum.

Nicole, who broke up with Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton this month, struggled to raise a smile outside the C London restaurant.

The 33-year-old arrived in a car and covered her face as her minder guided her towards the Mayfair venue.

When she emerged at 2am, she looked tired and drawn as she posed for the cameras.

Nicole showed off her slim legs in a pair of metallic leggings which she paired with a lacy top and long waistcoat with tassels.

But despite the late night, the star was up early again this morning to catch her flight back to the U.S.

She was only in London briefly for X Factor last night.

She sang through her heartbreak and pulled off a stunning performance of her new single Try With Me.

The low-key song followed last year's contestant Cher Lloyd's up-tempo With Your Love.

Nicole wore an off-the shoulder black lace dress and no shoes.

Afterwards she told host Dermot O'Leary: 'I'm so happy to be back and I'm going to be back here in February for my tour so please come out and see me.'

And at Heathrow today, she dressed a bit more casual in jeans and a leopard-print vest but added towering heels to the ensemble.

An unwell Kelly Rowland sends Sophie home after her two hopefuls went head-to-head

'Misha B wants this more': An unwell Kelly Rowland sends Sophie home after her two hopefuls went head-to-head



By Kirsty Mccormack

She was described as being as 'dull as dishwater' last night and it seems that the public agreed as Sophie Habibis became the latest contestant to be voted off the X Factor tonight.

The 19-year-old former barmaid found herself up against Misha B, also 19, in the sing off but it was a no brainer as all of the judges chose to send Sophie home.

Even Kelly Rowland - who has remained in the U.S. due to being ill - was present to cast her vote.

Speaking over the telephone, the Destiny's Child singer certainly sounded as if she was suffering from a throat infection, but didn't let that cloud her vision.

'This is so hard because I know how bad you both want this,' she told the female hopefuls.



'But I know that one of you wants it more and I have to be completely honest. The act that I'm sending home is Sophie.'


Gutted: The 19-year-old vowed to continue 'working hard' despite no longer being in the competition

Kelly's vote confirmed Sophie's departure as both Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos chose the brunette to go before her, and when asked who he would have chosen, Gary Barlow simply answered: 'Sophie.'

At a time when they needed her most, Misha B and Sophie were left to battle it out on the stage - and they both put on a meaningful performance.

Singing Shelter, Sophie certainly gave it her all as she realised it could be her last performance of the competition.

But following her was string singer Misha B who sang the Kings Of Leon hit, Use Somebody, in her own unique way.

The feisty hopeful got quite emotional towards the end of her performance and began crying as her and Sophie stood by host Dermot O'Leary to hear the verdict.

Viewers were probably expecting N-Dubz star Tulisa to choose Misha B to go home following their public confrontation where the singer accused the hopeful of being a bully.

But regardless of this and her 'connection' with Sophie, the 23-year-old reluctantly announced her decision.

And when Kelly confirmed the news, Misha B immediately hugged her rival as Kelly praised her.

'I just want to tell Sophie that she is remarkable and she has such an incredible voice,' she said.


Shell shocked: Sophie looked surprisingly calm as fellow contestant Misha B hugged her

'She just has to develop as an artist and I cant wait to see what the future holds for her.'

The Londoner look shell-shocked as the news still hadn't sunk in but thanked everyone for the opportunity and vowed to carry on.

'I'm going to continue working hard and prove why I shouldn't have left this competition tonight,' she said.

Earlier on in the night the remaining contestants looked extremely nervous as they awaited to hear the results of the public vote.

Kitty Brucknell was ecstatic as she realised she was the first act going through to next week's show, as were boy band The Risk who lifted their mentor, Tulisa, up in the air after hearing the announcement, and girl band, Little Mix.

Throughout the results Sophie looked worried as Kelly's contestants remained on stage with Frankie until the last minute.

Janet Devlin was the first one to breathe a sigh of relief as her name was read out, and when Frankie went through, it was Kelly's two girls who were left to endure the sing off.

But before the tense atmosphere of the showdown, the hopefuls treated the audience to a performance of Cee Lo Green's hit, Bright Lights Bigger City.

Marcus began the energetic performance and slowly the rest of the contestants sang their parts and were mainly dressed in black, leather and PVC.

Also performing on the live show was former X Factor star, Cher Lloyd, who performed her new single, With Your Love.

Wearing an odd multi-coloured outfit that looked like it would fit right in at the circus, the 18-year-old looked uneasy as she took to the stage with her female dancers.

Perhaps feeling nervous at being back on the X Factor stage for the first time since last year, the singer's performance started off shaky and afterwards Cher told Dermot: 'I cant remember the last time I had a good nights sleep but I've worked hard and I'm hoping it's paid off.'

Following in her footsteps and seeming a lot more confident was U.S. star Nicole Scherzinger who wowed the audience in a much more low-key performance.


Singing from experience: Nicole Scherzinger looked stunning in a black lace dress as she sung on tonight's show

The 33-year-old wore an off-the shoulder black lace corset dress, as she sang her heart out following her recent break-up from Lewis Hamilton.

After her performance she told Dermot: 'I'm so happy to be back and I'm going to be back here in February for my tour so please come out and see me.'


X Factor favourite: The 33-year old appeared as guest judge on the show last year and also has a permanent place on the U.S. panel

Surprisingly the only judge on the panel who predicted Sophie's sad fate tonight was Irishman, Louis.

After being asked by Dermot who he thought was dream and a nightmare, he refused to answer with just one name and said: 'Kitty and Marcus, but Sophie and Frankie were a nightmare.'

Guest judge, Alexandra Burke agreed saying that the big-haired bad boy 'just didn't do it for me' but stated that Misha B was a dream on the stage.

Also predicting tonight's shock turn was Gary who told Dermot that Kelly's absence had had an effect on the young girls.

'Kelly's acts had a tough week this week and it showed on that stage,' he said.

But outspoken judge Tulisa revealed that no one was a nightmare for her on last night's show but she admitted that she would like to see Craig Colton do 'something different.'

The Playing With Fire singer was obviously still in the Halloween spirit on tonight's show wearing an extremely long black and white dress that looked out of place compared to her usual style.

Whereas X Factor winner, Alexandra, showed off her legs in a black and green figure-hugging frock.

But after she appeared in the hit ITV2 show The Only Way Is Essex, the beautician's career has gone stellar — so much so that she is now hiring her own SECURITY team.
This week The Sun reported how TOWIE sisters Sam and Billie Faiers were attacked by a girl gang on a night out in London.
Sam, 20, needed a brain scan and was left with two black eyes and a split nose after being kicked and punched unconscious and Billie was left with cuts and bruises.
Amy, 21, told The Sun: "I spoke to Billie and Sam and told them I was always there for them if they needed anything at all. They're fine, just a bit bruised at the moment.
"But it does make me worry for my own safety. Everyone sees us as celebrities now, even though we don't see ourselves like that. Billie and Sam certainly don't.

"We are in the public eye and even going out now I'm careful. I went to the Sugar Hut nightclub the other night and I did actually need security. I was with my mum and people were pulling at me and crowding round.
"You also have to be careful about the possibility of people spiking your drink. I don't put my drink down but with everyone calling you and pulling you it would be so easy for someone to put something in there.
"And you get girls who are like, 'Oh my God, look at the state of her, who does she think she is?' You get such jealous girls out there.
"It's so terrible that it's happened to Sam and Billie but for all of us it's a real wake-up call."
With her Bambi eyes and a figure to die for, it's no surprise Amy has been snapped up for a string of lucrative telly and modelling jobs.


She has just landed a deal to be the face and body of new lingerie range Bra Queen — designed for Tesco by Michelle Mone — and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
After quitting TOWIE in August, Amy went into the Celebrity Big Brother house, then landed her own reality show following her life.
She also has a calendar in the shops and her own clothing range — Amy Childs Collection — which was unveiled to the public for the first time yesterday and will be available on her website, amychildsofficial.co.uk, from Monday.

As well as Big Brother, this year she was also approached to take part in I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice and she even featured in Vogue.
Amy said: "I pinch myself every day of my life with what's going on at the minute. A year ago I was filming for TOWIE and I wasn't in the Press at all. Now it's amazing but strange at the same time.
"I still can't believe all the attention or that people say I'm a celebrity. It's funny, people shout, 'There's Amy Childs'. People want autographs and pictures with me.
"And yesterday I launched my clothes on the catwalk at Britain's Next Top Model Live — who would have thought it?"
Behind the TOWIE fake tan and eyelashes is a woman with real drive. Amy said: "In the last year I really have become ambitious.
"When I was a beautician I wanted a nice life and a successful business but now it's a question of what I should bring out next. I'm always looking ahead — you have to — to have a good career.
"Since I was 14 I've worked in a beauty salon at the weekends. I loved it. Since I was seven I wanted to be a beautician. My mum's a hairdresser and she does old ladies' hair and I'd be going round to their houses too, painting their fingernails and toes green. I had such a passion for it so when I was 16 and left school I knew what I wanted to do.
"But you definitely have to work for it and now I call myself a businesswoman. I can't believe I'm opening a new beauty salon."
Some reports have predicted Amy will earn up to £10million from endorsements and TV shows in the next few years and she is shocked at her sudden increase in fortunes.

She said: "Everyone would like to be a millionaire and you never know. I'm so enjoying what I'm doing at the minute but if I am a millionaire, oh my God, I'd be shocked. It would be amazing though."
Amy is also, of course, responsible for bringing the vajazzle — a bikini wax with added stick-on sparkles — to the nation's attention. She said: "When I go to Essex I get, 'Show us your vajazzle' all the time. The producers asked me what I did, I told them about the vajazzle and that was it.

"I brought it into this country. A year ago no one knew what it was, now it's vajazzle this and vajazzle that."
Other expressions coined by Amy include 'well jel', or well jealous, a phrase that caught on immediately.
She said: "Jel was my word. I created it, it was my catchphrase.
"I said in one episode of TOWIE, 'Why are you getting so jel?' and that was it.
"That night my Twitter page went mad. I find it weird more than anything that people know what I've been saying. All I've done is appear in a TV show and it went massive for all of us." But instant fame can have its downsides. Amy has more than 588,000 followers on her Twitter page — and not all of them post supportive messages.

She said: "Around 95 per cent of people on Twitter are lovely but the other five per cent are terrible. I get stuff like, 'No one likes you' and that people hate me. At first I was like, 'Oh my God, why are these people writing these things, they don't even know me.'
"But now I get on with it — you have to laugh at it. I block everyone who sends abuse, it's the best way to do it." Amy's busy work diary has left little time for romance since she split with boyfriend Joe Hurlock, who she started dating after breaking up with fellow TOWIE star Kirk Norcross.
She said: "I want to get married and have children young but I have to find someone first.
"I haven't got a boyfriend but I've got to be single at the minute because I'm just so busy.
"I've not even got time for my mum and dad at the minute. I haven't even got time to see my little dog. But I've got loads of time ahead, I'm only 21.
"With me you never know what will come next."

Strictly Come Dancing's Nancy Dell'Olio says goodbye after weeks at the bottom of the scoreboard

End of the line for Nancy: Strictly Come Dancing's 'walking disaster' says goodbye after weeks at the bottom of the scoreboard



By Kirsty Mccormack

Last updated at 8:35 PM on 30th October 2011




She may have risen from the dead last night, but Nancy Dell'Olio was still feeling gloomy as she was voted off the Strictly Come Dancing floor tonight.

The Italian businesswoman became the fourth contestant to leave the reality show after she failed to wow the judges and the public with her attempt at dancing the Rumba.

The 50-year-old and her dance partner, Anton du Beke, found themselves at the bottom of the scoreboard yet again after receiving just 14 points and it seemed that their luck finally ran out.

Nancy had been clinging on to a place in the BBC1 dance contest despite constant criticism from the panel and it seemed that last night's Halloween special was her last chance to impress the four judges.

But she wasn't holding any grudges following the news that she would no longer be taking to the dance floor.

When asked what she would miss about her Strictly experience, Nancy said: 'Let me think about it...I will miss many moments, of course. It has been such a full on experience.


'I am going to go back to the rest of my life, but of course I'm going to miss a lot of it. I've had a lot of fun, it's been an incredible experience.'

And it seems that although she may not be dancing for the public every weekend now, the brunette is still going to continue practicing her footwork.

'It has given to me quite a lot, meeting incredible people, and learning dancing ... partly!' she said.

'I'm definitely going to keep dancing, because it is fantastic exercise, not only physically but for the mind, for everything, so I definitely will.'

Although the judges won't miss watching Nancy's two left feet, someone who admitted they were genuinely upset about her departure was her partner, Anton.

'What a night this has turned out to be,' he said after learning the result.

'I tell you what I'm going to miss the most. I'm just going to miss Nancy,' he added.

But to let the star know that he meant it, he turned to her and said: 'I'm going to miss you. You are a superstar. You are absolutely lovely. I have had the most lovely time.'

Last night the property lawyer and former girlfriend of one-time England soccer manager Sven-Goran Eriksson thought that climbing out of a silver sparkly coffin would add glamour to her dodgy performance but it seemed this was just another factor for the judges to mock.

Pompous professional, Craig Revel Horwood, told her: 'The moment you stepped out of that sarcophagus was the moment it went horribly wrong.'

However Len Goodman described the pair's dance to Dusty Springfield's Spooky as having 'moments of Mills and Boon, and moments of meals on wheels.'

Keeping in with the Halloween theme, Nancy wore a white and silver spiderweb dress and looked worn out after finishing the routine.

But Alesha Dixon still thought she looked great telling her: 'Nancy, I think you're a sexy woman and you know how to work it but I have to be honest, you are a walking disaster.'

'And the lift, Anton the lift was so unflattering,' she added.

'You both should have stayed in the coffin. But, having said that, I'm sure the viewers at home will love it.'


'Walking disaster': The pair were criticised following their performance on last night's show

However the singer couldn't have been more wrong as when Nancy went head-to-head with boxer Audley Harrison and his partner Natalie Lowe tonight, it was her who was sent packing - coffin and all.

Talking about the sportsman being in the bottom two, Len told host Tess Daly: 'The Jive is tough so I am disappointed, but I had a feeling that he might find himself there tonight, because that dance is all about being compact and sharp.'

As half of the contestants breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that they were safe in the competition, Claudia Winkleman had a word with them.

Speaking to Alex Jones, she asked her how she felt after learning that she was still in the competition to which the TV presenter replied: 'I am delighted. We're having such a great time but I was worried it was going to come to an end.'

Claudia then turned her attention to Chelsee Healey and commented on her wardrobe malfunction the night before.

'I feel a bit daft about it now,' the Waterloo Road star said. 'I was nervous to begin with and when that happened it just really upset me.'

However this may not be the end of Nancy's career on the small screen, as she recently revealed that she is going to land her own TV star.

Speaking on the Graham Norton Show, she told the comedian host that she is 'preparing' for a programme.

The star - who has already written an autobiography - said: 'My life is quite busy with a few things - I'm writing two books and I am preparing my TV show.'

But when she was asked more about the upcoming show, she was not prepared to give any more details.

'I'm probably doing it, but I am not going to say more,' she added.

During her interview Nancy admitted that she was not the most skilled figure on the dance floor.

'My public says whether I win or not but I probably am not a great dancer,' she told Graham during the show -which is to be shown tonight.

But regardless of her dancing, the public certainly made an effort to tune in last night to watch the celebrities battle it, as the BBC said the show had 'an average audience of 10.2 million viewers, or a 42.7% share.'

The 15 minute peak for the programme at 7.45pm saw a figure of 11.3 million - which the channel were certainly pleased about.

'We are delighted that more and more viewers keep tuning in to watch Strictly Come Dancing,' a BBC spokesman said.
