“TV sensation tells of her childhood nightmare.”

The Britain’s Got Talent star says she was lashed with a belt every day by brutal teachers and cruelly taunted by other kids. She said: “You’re looking at someone who would get the belt every day. ‘Will you Shut up, Susan!’ – whack!”

Bullying is bad, says Susan. Has she any advice?

For anybody who has that type of problem I’d tell them to see a teacher now – but I didn’t do it.

I’m A Celebrity: Samantha Fox Pulls Her Old Hits Out For The Lads

sam-fox3I’M A Celebrity gonad muncher (why always testes and penises and never a vagina or fallopian tube? Discuss) Samantha Fox WILL release her Greatest Hits CD in December.

Music fans and non music fans can buy Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now: Greatest Hits from December 12.

Easy to get sniffy until you realise that Fox achieved three Top 10 hits, namely ‘Touch Me (I Want Your Body)’, ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now’ and ‘Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)’.

We know this because we bought Samantha Fox’s Greatest Hits album in 1992, and enjoyed the songs ‘Touch Me (I Want Your Body)’, ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now’ and ‘Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)’.

Such is the way with things, the new album will also feature her latest single ‘Tomorrow’, which is produced by someone called Marc Mysterio, who sounds that when he’s not producing future greatest hits he’s reading futures in women’s knee wrinkles.

bruce-forsyth-girls1BIG news on the Daily Express’ front page is that “fans” of BBC show Strictly Come Dancing have come to bury Bruce Forsyth:

Strictly fans say Brucie’s had his day

No, scratch that. Fans are clamouring to tell the BBC that Forsyth must never ever get well enough to return to the show:

jedward-simon-puppetsX FACTOR Watch: Anorak’s round-up of X Factor news – Jedward is huge shock vote scandal and Mariah Carey snubs Strictly Come Dancing to work with Simon Cowell…

The X Factor features on only one front page. Oh, how soon they forget.

I’m A Celebrity: Katie Price’s Lesbian Milf Affair And Therapy

janice-dickinson-lesbianI’M A Celebrity Watch: Anorak’s daily look at the jungle show in the news: Katie Price’s jungle therapy, lesbian affair, Milf credentials and proud kids.

Katie Price is not yet in the overgrown Blue Peter garden – but she still manages to be the only contestant to feature on any tabloid front pages.

In readiness for Jordan’s arrival, a swinging bench love seat has been erected on the spot where Peter Andre and Jordan fell for each other in 2004.

Producer Marty Benson admitted: “We want canoodling. The swing offers them some privacy. Hopefully they’ll talk about the other people in the camp. It’s surrounded by cameras, so we’ll capture everything they do on the swing. It’s located where Peter Andre wrote Insania in series three. It seemed appropriate somehow.”

Daily Star: “MY GIRL ON GIL JUNGLE LUST”

Katie Price has heard that Samantha Fox is a lesbian. Not a lesbian who pushes her big naked chest into another girl’s chest on Page 3 or has had her breasts groped by Trinny ‘The Tranny’ Woodall or Gok Wan, but an actual lesbian.

You know like, er, celebrity jungle alumni Janice Dickinson:

Janice, 54, who has flown to Australia for the ITV2 spin-off show Get Me Out Of Here Now, told the Daily Star: “Jordan is great. We had a lesbian affair on the flight over. It was great. We joined the mile high club. I didn’t know her until now.”

Not a grope on the flight but a full-blown affair, with dates, furtive texts, tears, melancholic taxi rides through rainy streets and loadsa shagging.

So expect lots of lesbian sex. As the Sun says:

Fumble in the jungle? Not at any Price

Phwoaar!!! In other news, we look at Katie’s mental health:

Daily Mirror: “I’m NOT nuts”

Beneath a picture of Katie Price looking like she emerged from Dr Frankenstein’s Cosmetic Studios – a child beauty pageant heads stuck onto a pair of Ford fiesta airbags and Barbies body – readers hear:

“For others, it’s a game show. For me, it’s closure. I’m going back to a place where a big fairytale began for me.

“I met my husband, I had two more beautiful children and six years on I’ve been married, divorced, ready to go back in. I’ve had a crap year and the fairytale has ended. I’m going in for closure.”

It’s not a telly show – it’s a place for Jordan to exorcise her demons. It’s therapy.

“People think I’m breaking down, I’ve lost the plot, I’m not a good mum, I’m a man-eater. They’ve got all these perceptions but I think that when people see me again, like last time, they’ll see I’m grounded, if not more grounded.”

See the Daily Star’s story all-too-unbelievable story about her being grounded aboard a Jumbo Jet Down Under before she sucks down a kangaroos genitals. This one’s for you, Pete. And the kids:

She said of her three children: “They’ll be able to watch me on telly and be proud of their mum.” But she also announced: “I am the jungle MILF” – referring to the cheeky term for “mum I’d like to f***”.

Mum I’d Like To **** is “cheeky” to the Sun. It makes you wonder what the tabloids consider crude.

Here’s Jordan to save a telly show that doesn’t need saving.

Cheryl Cole’s Secret X Factor Gig: Carole Malone Exposes The Truth

5090041CAROLE Malone does the X Factor’s Cheryl Cole and produces a review about a song that has not yet been sung.

Somerset Bob spotted the oddity. And as MacGuffin says:

“In mid-October it was widely trailed that Cheryl Cole was to perform her new single on The X Factor and that she was not going to be singing live (although only some of it appears to have been mimed in the end). Noticing that the show goes out on a Saturday night, Malone fired off her column for the next day’s News of The World. She asked:

‘Why did she mime her new solo single on last night’s X Factor?'”

I’m A Celebrity Ge Me Out Of Here: Sabrina Washington And Stuart Manning So In Love

stuart-manning-celebrityWHAT odds on the two least know celebrities in the I’m A Celebrity jungle – Sabrina Washington and Stuart Manning – sharing a romance?

From the patio heater warmed Blue Peter Garden, the Mirror hears a source tell:

“Stuart has been following Sabrina around like a love-sick puppy. And she has been lapping up the attention and flirting outrageously.”

Stu-pot is gagging for it. As he says:

“I don’t want my private life played out on screen, to be honest…”

While Stuart’s agent takes him to one side and reminds him how it works – to be liked you must: flirt, smoke and replace the word “my” with “me” – Katie Price continues to speak like a talking tabloid. Here’s Katie making redtop sub-editors redundant:

“I’m coming here to win. All those who have come out against me won’t know what’s hit them.”
