Grantchester hunk Tom Brittney splits from secret fiancée and goes public with new romance
GRANTCHESTER hunk Tom Brittney has split from his fiancée and moved on with tattooed model Clo Gascoigne.
It comes two years after Tom’s engagement to his long-term girlfriend, whose name he never revealed.
The new couple have now gone Instagram-official as Clo shared a loved-up snap of them on the red carpet at Prime Video’s Carrie launch last week.
Tom, who recently starred in thriller movie Fall 2: Deadpoint, featured in Clo’s TikTok (which she has now deleted) where she filmed him watching himself on telly with the caption: “POV your boyfriend is an actor.”
Congrats.
HOLLY AND FELTZ CLICK
HOLLY WILLOUGHBY has been exchanging tips with Vanessa Feltz on kickstarting their YouTube careers.
The presenters, who worked together regularly on This Morning, shared a snap on Instagram on Friday after watching a performance at the English National Opera in central London.
Speaking earlier in the week at Best magazine’s Heroes Awards, Vanessa said: “I’ve had a really great voicenote from Holly.
“She is incredibly encouraging and she says she’s thoroughly enjoying it and she can see that I am.
“We’re having dinner this week. We really like each other and support each other and I think she’s doing an absolute bang-up job. I think that women supporting women is always attractive and great.”
The former chat show host started her own YouTube series, At Home With Vanessa, earlier this year.
She added: “It’s quite a big deal to do it. Terrestrial TV seems to feel narrower, smaller, and fewer and fewer opportunities.
“On terrestrial TV, they all seem to be reining themselves in, there seem to be lots of cuts being made, and closures, things are shorter and smaller and less often and all this kind of thing.
“So I think the idea of just waiting for an opportunity there might be a very long wait.
“It’s a question of feeling like you want to try to see if you can make an opportunity for yourself.”
MARK HAMILL is reprising his role as Luke Skywalker . . . in an Old Spice ad.
The actor filmed a top-secret campaign for the vintage aftershave favoured by dads, in which he appeared as his legendary Star Wars character.
The shoot took place in the UK last week.
A mole tells me: “Mark was paid big bucks for the ad – after all, he’s a huge Hollywood star.
“Bosses think he’ll appeal to the Old Spice market as Star Wars is so popular with dads.”
Mark also has a cameo in Amazon Prime’s new series Carrie, where he plays a fraudulent fortune teller.
NICOLE SPOTTED IN CATSUIT
NICOLE SCHERZINGER had a wild night stepping out in a skintight leopard-print catsuit.
The singer was joined by her Pussycat Dolls bandmates Ashley Roberts and Kimberley Wyatt at Nammos Greek restaurant in London’s Mayfair on Friday night, to celebrate their successful reunion tour.
The trio dined on signature dishes and enjoyed cocktails.
An onlooker said: “They were in high spirits. They had an amazing tour and got rave reviews, they deserve to let their hair down.”
TYLA’S HOT FLUFF
TYLA showed her softer side as she donned a fluffy lingerie set for a show on Friday night.
Excited to be performing in the capital, the South African singer painted “London” across her thigh for the O2 Brixton Academy leg of her A*Pop World Tour.
The Water hitmaker, full name Tyla Laura Seethal, revealed that she loves the UK but still sees Johannesburg as her home.
The Grammy Award-winning singer said: “We don’t have paparazzi and you see our superstars at the mall, like every weekend. It’s kind of chill.
“It feels like a movie [in the UK] – the fact that people care about every little thing I do and say.”
Tyla continues her tour tonight in Glasgow then Manchester tomorrow.
ZARA’S GOT SOMETHING ‘SPECIAL’
ZARA LARSSON has confirmed a new album is coming next year and has already recorded the first track.
The star said the “special” song came by accident while she was working on this year’s remix album Girls Trips and she knows it’s going to be a hit.
She explained on Popcast: “I think it’s going to be a really fun journey to write the next album.
“I already have new lyrics, actually I have one song we did just because we couldn’t help ourselves when we weremaking Girls Trips and it sort of gave me the same feeling to when I did (previous album) Midnight Sun.
“When I left that session you just know when something is special and that’s one, and also what it was; for the four of us being fully present.”
EMMERDALE OLIVIA IS NED OVER HEELS
THEY had a sizzling love affair on Emmerdale – but I can reveal that Olivia Bromley and Ned Porteous are a couple off-screen as well.
The ITV soap pair have been secretly dating for months.
Gorgeous Olivia and hunky Ned grew close after their characters, Dawn Taylor and Joe Tate, were involved in one of the show’s biggest-ever love triangles.
But the couple initially kept their romance quiet.
An Emmerdale source said: “Olivia and Ned were a couple off-screen while acting out those sex scenes.
“It was easy for them to get away with it because they were working so closely together.
“A few people clocked what was going on and they both admitted that they were seeing where things go. But it’s been a good few months now and they couldn’t be happier.”
Olivia left the soap over the summer, but now she has a great excuse to keep visiting the set.
