EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Model David Gandy admits he felt inadequate while working with Jennifer Lopez
He’s blessed with smoldering looks and a body some of us would die for, but David Gandy admits he felt inadequate while working with Jennifer Lopez.
The Essex-born model, 43, was chosen by the Hollywood star, 53, to play her boyfriend in the video for her single First Love and later reappeared with her in a promotional photoshoot.
“The thing about J.Lo is she’s so talented at everything: acting, singing, dancing,” says Gandy. “Compared to her, I’m pretty talentless.”
Speaking on the Shuffle Skip Repeat Podcast hosted by Lorcan & Yuki, he adds, “There has to be some kind of dance with her every time.” But it’s not just a little two-step, it’s a full routine and I just stand there and go, ‘Oh, God.’ And she said to me, “You hate this, don’t you?” and I said, ‘Yes, I do.’
Lopez admitted that Gandy was her “celebrity crush” and gushed, “This guy — he’s just about perfect.”

Clary’s thorny words for Titchmarsh
Royal favorite Alan Titchmarsh should now look away. Comedian Julian Clary says the green-fingered presenter’s ‘manipulative, cheesy’ ITV1 show Love Your Garden makes him gag.
Clary states: ‘A researcher has to find someone who has recently died or is terminally ill. They go to their modest house and lure them away and then Alan Titchmarsh and the team run to the garden and take out anything vaguely attractive.
“They sprinkle some gravel around it and install the cheapest water feature they can find. Then the poor relative is taken back to their house and inevitably they start crying. I find it manipulative.’

Daltrey: My rock ‘n’ roll life is over
The Who star Roger Daltrey — who sang “I hope I die before I get old” while his bandmate Pete Townshend smashed guitars — doesn’t even listen to rock music these days, much less live a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle pursues.
“I’ve always loved classical music,” says 79-year-old Daltrey. ‘After our performances, classical music was the only thing that could calm me down. Chopin is good. I rarely listen to rock music at home.’
He’s even a regular at Glyndebourne opera house in East Sussex: ‘I’ve been to a lot of great operas and there are some really nice singers and some really nice melodies.’
TV presenter: GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes is the only person Jon Culshaw has asked to stop impersonating him
GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes is the only person Jon Culshaw has asked to stop impersonating him, according to the television impressionist, who played him as a “fierce, hungry” glutton.
‘Debra [Stephenson] and I did our Impressions Show. We did some sketches for This Morning,” says Culshaw, referring to the ITV program Holmes presented on Fridays for 15 years.
“They were sketches of him mistaking things for food. I thought it was very surreal and very funny. Eamonn’s patience only lasted the first three. At first Eamonn thought it was kind of funny, but after three sketches it was, ‘Oh come on, it’s enough’.’
Pearl Lowe had battled a crippling addiction to cocaine and heroin as a rock singer and thought her new life as an interior designer in Somerset would be a breath of fresh air.
However, she has revealed that she is agitated by her ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
“I managed to lose a lucrative contract with a wallpaper company that used my designs,” says Lowe, 53.
“They sent me a contract to extend my partnership with them. Distracted, I lightly signed without reading, not just the fine print, but all the print. So I gave away all rights to my designs.
“I assumed that if I was clean, a lot of the chaos in my life would disappear. My tendencies even seemed to get worse.’
