Jane McDonald is preparing to bring the New Year in in-style with an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza that even sees the Queen of Wakefield covering the Queen of Pop herself.
The Cruising With… icon will be ringing in 2020 with her very own Channel 5 special, Jane McDonald & Friends – NYE Special, and she’s even treating us to a bit of Madonna!
Speaking to Metro.co.uk on her new title as the queen of yuletide, the Loose Women panelist revealed that we’re in for a right old knees-up.
‘It’s very camp – there’s a shock!’ she revealed. ‘We’ve got a Madonna classic in there as well. Do you want to know what it is?
‘Are you ready? Ray Of Light! Can you believe it? What am I doing?!’
We know what you’re doing Jane – making sure you conquer the pop charts in the next decade. Mariah Carey who?
Please, bless us, queen!
Madonna aside, Jane stressed the best thing about the special, however, is how familiar it will feel for people to tune in as they’re hosting their own celebrations.
‘I love it. I absolutely love it. It’s like everyone comes to my house,’ she enthused. ‘It’s like a party. It’s champagne with Jane!’
She continued: ‘It’s got Chesney Hawkes in it, Tony Christie…the Lighthouse Family, Heather Small…we had such a great time.’
The show closes out what turned to be a decade of a career resurgence for Dame Jane – she even won a BAFTA for crying out loud!
‘It’s showbiz!’ she cried. ‘I never see a day where I’m not grateful to the fans and what they’ve done for me.’
Jane McDonald and Friends NYE Special airs tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.

And, speaking to Metro.co.uk, she told us it is definitely still her plan, explaining she had ‘started the process’ while filming for the series.
‘I’m wanting to alleviate some of the pressure,’ she explained. ‘I’m getting to the age where I am wondering about children. I’m worrying that, if I wait too much longer, they might not be part of my future.
‘And I don’t want to rush our relationship for the sake of an end goal of a child.
‘I think in the New Year it’ll be something that I will actually start. It’s not an easy process, it’s not something you can just do on your lunch break, there are protocols I have to go through. I think it’ll be January that I do that, but it’s definitely still on the cards.

‘I think it’s the right decision for me and for our relationship.’
Vicky also explained that she isn’t ‘quite ready’ to start a family with Ercan just yet, as there are things she still wants to see and do in the future.
‘When you’re in your early 30s is when we should be thinking about it, and I just don’t think women are aware. We’ve got other things on our mind,’ the Geordie Shore star continued.
‘I know I want to travel, I want to still see the world, I want to drink on a Tuesday night sometimes, there are still things I want to do that aren’t traditional family things. I know I’m not quite ready but I want children to be in my future. I’m going to take positive steps to make sure they’re an option for me.
‘I think more women should be aware of the alternatives available to them, it’s our bodies and our choice.
But, despite being heartbroken when they met, the I’m A Celebrity winner has credited her beau for flipping her life upside down in the best way possible.
Praising her relationship, she said: ‘I just feel really lucky, and really over the moon to have met someone as kind and nice.
‘I feel like he’s a perfect fit for me. He makes us dead happy, I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face and what more can you ask for?
‘I don’t think anyone anticipated me and Ercan would be what we’ve ended up becoming. It was very soon after all of my heartbreak and a difficult year, but these things happen when you least expect it.
‘He turned my life upside down in the best possible way, I’ve become the best version of myself.
‘I’m in a really good place and I know for a fact it’s mostly down to him.’
Can you scream couple goals any louder?

As previously mentioned, the start of 2019 wasn’t exactly ideal for Vicky, who had to deal with heartbreak we couldn’t even imagine, on the most public scale imaginable.
Discussing the trip, she added: ‘Bali was absolutely amazing, it’s been on my bucket list for years. It seemed like the perfect chance to not only see somewhere new, but also try and get into yoga, which is something I’ve been promising myself for years.
‘Plus my mum has been such an amazing help to me over the last year, such a great support, it was lovely to be able to take her somewhere and treat her. It ticked every box for me – beautiful place, wonderful food, friendly people, quality time with mumma.
‘It was so beautiful to take some time out for me, I knew how lucky I was and I just felt so relaxed, chilled out, and I’ve come back like a new woman.’
We love to see it.

Chloe documented the terrifying scenes (Picture: WireImage/Instagram)
YouTuber Chloe Morello has documented the ‘total devastation’ her hometown faced in the Australian wildfires, with her family home almost being lost.
The beauty guru shared horrifying images on her social media of the fires and smoke raging across Batemans Bay.
‘View from our motel as the fires burn my hometown,’ she wrote next to one of the photos. ‘So much of batemans bay on fire, if you’re in the area evacuate to a safe zone.’
She added: ‘Our home in surf beach is burned but my family and pet bird are safe. Mum and Ellie grabbed sentimental things like photo albums etc.
‘My father is returning from Victoria and left my Zias before we could tell him the the fire had suddenly encroached on the bay this morning.
‘Hoping he stops soon in a town safe and calls us. Many homes lost in Catalina and up in surf beach. Southerly will push fire up toward the town. Birdland animal park on fire! The poor animals!
‘Everyone be careful, stay hydrated, wear full sleeves and pants to protect from the heat and keep an eye out for one another. #batemansbay #australiafires.’
Despite Chloe being convinced that her family home was ‘most definitely gone,’ it was later revealed that a neighbour managed to save the house from the flames, with the YouTuber telling fans that her family are all safe.

‘I feel like I can’t be happy about this because everyone is still battling and people are still in danger,’ the 29-year-old added.
She went on to say: ‘Just heard over the radio that they need more fire trucks but there are none. “Total devastation” in the fire fighters words, no hope for many homes.’
The trailer for the series begins with the star being asked to talk about the last four years, with Justin simply answering: ‘Wow.’
‘As humans we go through so many ups and downs,’ he explains. ‘So many good seasons, bad seasons. Sometimes we want to give up.’
Biebs is set to open up on his struggles (Picture: YouTube)
It’s no secret that the Biebs has had a rocky few years, culminating in him taking a break from music and performing.
Referencing Justin previously cancelling his world tour, the trailer shows emotional shots of the star crying, with close friends describing him as ‘a shell of himself’.
However, with him beginning a new era, and his wife Hailey Bieber by his side, it seems he’s ready to speak out on the tough times and give fans a glimpse into the process of recording his first album in five years.
‘I’m excited, I’m just nervous a little bit,’ Justin admitted in the trailer. ‘This album is different because of where I’m at in my life.’
Hailey also made an appearance in the trailer (Picture: YouTube)
Meanwhile, Hailey also made an appearance, telling the camera: ‘Maybe by watching this, people will get a glimpse into his world.’
The Sorry singer hasn’t blessed us with an album since way back in 2015, with Purpose, and has been musically quiet apart from the odd banger with Ed Sheeran and DJ Khaled.
However, that’s all about to change with the documentary description reading: ‘For the very first time, the world’s biggest superstar, Justin Bieber, is pulling back the curtain and giving fans an intimate look into the past few years of his life.
‘From the joys of marriage to the struggles through difficult seasons, Justin opens up to reveal his biggest challenges as he gets back into the studio to record his first album since 2015.’
Bring on #Bieber2020.
Justin Bieber: Seasons will premiere on 27 January, with two new episodes per week.

Chandler and Monica want to head off on a romantic weekend together but Ross catches them off guard, as he wants them to send a special 18th birthday message to Emma.
After Chandler’s famous first line Monica responded: ‘We’re Aunt Monica and Uncle Chandler, by the way – you may not recognise us because we haven’t spoken to your parents in 17 years.’
Chandler continued: ‘We used to be married but then we missed a weekend away together and things kind of unravelled… Because of you.’
Netflix India took to Twitter to remind fans of the fun fact as they posted: ‘If you start S10E04 of Friends at 11:48 PM on December 31st, you’ll begin the year with Chandler saying, “Hi, Emma. It’s the year 2020. Are you still enjoying your nap?”‘

‘Looking forward to what the new year has to bring and wish you all the very best for 2020 & the future.’
In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, Natalie said Dan had begged her to deny the affair.
She said: ‘It’s true, I had sex with Dan. I was drunk and it was a huge mistake.’
Meanwhile, despite the scandals, Jacqueline seems to be in high spirits and even posted a similar pondering post.
Sharing a picture of herself 10 years ago and a picture of her today, the star wrote: ‘10 years ago I landed the BEST job in the world! Loved ever second of it, this picture changed my life. I used to hate this picture so much I got trolled so so badly, “the new fat Lauren branding” “Why recast and then get someone so much uglier and what is the hair cut” [sic].
‘I admit I really hate the hair cut now but jeez ppl can be mean, and to a 17 year old girl, words hurt a lot! It effected me for a LONG time! Probably still does actually if I’m being honest [sic].
‘Still 10 years on, I done 7 years on the show of my dreams and had 2 beautiful children. To end this year I just became QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE! WOW!!’
She then went on to say how much has changed and how overwhelmed she was feeling.
There was no mention of Dan in the post.

An E! News insider claimed: ‘It’s been a very stressful and concerning few days. Cindy and Rande wanted to be there for Kaia and supportive of her. They are very involved and loving parents and they would do anything for her.
‘They stepped in to try and guide her and to help Pete through a difficult time. [They] see how troubled he is and how much he is struggling.’
The source continued: ‘They tried to intervene and offer what they could. It’s been upsetting for Kaia and for them to see their daughter dealing with something so serious.’

‘They know they can’t choose who their daughter dates or control the situation,’ they added.
‘Their only choice is to support her and help guide her through this. They are just thinking about Pete getting better and nothing beyond that.’
Pete has always been open about his recreational drug habits and mental health, making endless jokes about marijuana.
He has been smoking weed since he was 16, and said: ‘I can perform when I’m not high, but it wouldn’t be that much fun for me.’
Pete also told Marc Maron’s podcast that he struggled with borderline personality disorder and even worried fans when he posted about suicidal thoughts in 2018.

YouTube star Manny MUA has denied hooking up with his friend James Charles, but has admitted that he and Tati Westbrook are now on good terms after the great feud of 2019.
Consider us intrigued.
The beauty guru, who is one of James’ close friends, took to YouTube to address some rumours about himself – and it got pretty juicy.
Chatting about claims that he and his fellow YouTuber were dating, Manny was left baffled.
‘I don’t know what prompted the idea that me and James were anything more than friends,’ he explained.

‘I can assure you guys that me and James are not f***ing, we are not dating, we are not together, we are not any item in any way shape or form.
‘We are friends…we’re just not each other’s type.’
Well, that’s that then.
Meanwhile, Manny had fans shocked by revealing that he and Tati Westbrook are on good terms.
James suffered one of the biggest downfalls in internet history (Picture: James Charles)
However, Manny isn’t holding a grudge – even after his own fallout with the 37-year-old.
‘Me and Tati are on good terms now and I’m so happy about that,’ he told viewers.
‘Me and her had our own fallout in our own way and I feel like at the time I was so in my own world that I couldn’t see what was going on.’
The 28-year-old described himself as becoming ‘more empathetic’, revealing: ‘When Tati sent me over her palette from Tati Beauty she sent me this note on it and all the past anguish or sadness, or anything I felt towards her, went away.
‘The note was so sweet and was so kind and so caring, and it really made me feel like she was watching me…she knew what I was going through.’
Manny acknowledged: ‘I’m not saying we’re best friends, but I truly do respect her.’
‘I already made my money so jokes on you, but more importantly why are you dragging goodwill?’ he questioned.
‘Maybe it didn’t fit, or they just weren’t a fan anymore?? Hopefully someone finds it and gets a great deal!’
Tell ’em, James.

She shared the news with her followers (Picture: @myleeneklass)
Myleene Klass got stung in the armpit by a jellyfish during a luxurious getaway in the Maldives.
While taking in the beautiful views and crystal clear water with daughters Ava, 12, Hero, eight, and four-month-old Apollo, things got… electrifying.
The star ended the decade by wincing in pain as she dealt with the aftermath of the jellyfish sting.
As Dory once said: ‘Bad squidgy!’
The 41-year-old took to her Instagram stories to share a very pouty selfie before the incident occurred.
She captioned it: ‘This was just before I got stung by a jellyfish in the armpit.’
We hope she’s okay (Picture: @myleeneklass)
It can’t have been too bad (Picture: @myleeneklass)
We wonder what Apollo is distracted by (Picture: @myleeneklass)
The radio presenter seemed to have gotten over the incident immediately as she posted a cute selfie with her husband Simon Motson and a very distracted Apollo right after.
Have we mentioned how cute baby Apollo looks with his messy beach hair and his little swim trunks.
Who else can say they got to go to the exotic South Asian Island when they weren’t even half a year old?
It seems like Myleene can’t catch a break as she was recently slammed for posing topless in the ocean where nudity is strictly prohibited.
The Maldives is an Islamic nation (Picture: Myleene Klass) Provider: @myleeneklass
Like many other celebrities currently holidaying in the Maldives for the Christmas break, Myleene shared a sun-kissed snap in the middle of the sea giving most of her followers major travel envy.
But others were offended that she appeared to be topless in the photo, which shows her crouched down in the shallow water while carrying baby Apollo.
Nudity and topless sunbathing are strictly prohibited in the Maldives.
Pointing this out, one of Myleene’s followers commented: ‘Myleene the Maldives is an Islamic country with strict laws against women being topless, why don’t you have a little respect for the country you’re visiting and their religion!’
Another agreed: ‘Nice, but it’s illegal to go topless in the Maldives. Please consider this next time.’

We can’t believe Chandler would do this to Monica (Picture: Rex)
Matthew Perry has been ‘secretly dating talent manager Molly Hurwitz for months’ and even spent Christmas with her.
The Friends star is believed to be dating talent manager and producer Molly who appeared to have confirmed the relationship on Instagram when she spent Christmas with him.
The 50-year-old was spotted leaving an Italian restaurant in West Hollywood with the ‘mystery brunette’.
An insider told Sun Online that the producer has been a ‘huge support’ to Matthew who previously struggled with drugs and alcohol.
They revealed: ‘Molly has been seeing Matthew for months, they mix in the same circles and she’s originally from New York where they have spent time together.
‘She has a very quirky sense of humour and they hit it off immediately. Molly is not interested in fame and she rarely parties, she’s been great for Matthew.
The source continued: ‘They have kept the relationship a secret but things are getting more serious.
We can’t wait for them to be official (Picture: @mollyhurwitz)
At least she wouldn’t have to take the last name ‘Bing’ (Picture: Gregg DeGuire/WireImage)
‘They spent Christmas Day together with friends at his penthouse, exchanging gifts and watching Elf on his large cinema screen.’
28-year-old Molly posted about her Matthew on Instagram alongside a snap possibly taken at his penthouse in Century City, Los Angeles.
She captioned her post on her private account: ‘According to my parents’ custody agreement, my mother was not allowed to have a Christmas tree.
‘Fortunately, there’s no such agreement for a daughter’s boyfriend, so Hurwitz gets a treeeeeeee!!!’
Monica Geller and Chandler Bing walked off into the sunset – well, Westchester – at the end of Friends, happily married and parents to newborn twins.
A source told Us Weekly: ‘Matthew’s always been in love with her.
‘Matthew has never fully been able to get over her.’
Interesting, as that would mean they have to get together in real life to make fans like us happy.
Right?

Tom opened up on his ‘terrifying’ anxiety (Picture: Getty Images)
Tom Odell has revealed that he was rushed to hospital, fearing that he was having a stroke, after splitting from his girlfriend.
The singer opened up about his anxiety after his split from his girlfriend, model Sydney Lima.
He didn’t realise he was having a panic attack, with the ‘terrifying’ physical symptoms alarming him.
‘I wasn’t aware omnipresent anxiety had a name, I thought that was just me until it exploded last year,’ the 29-year-old said.

‘I went through a very painful break-up with someone who I still love very much, I was increasingly worried about how I felt.
‘One day I collapsed in the shower in Munich. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and I was having a stroke. I ended up in an ambulance and in hospital,’ he added to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast.
Tom explained that even a door slamming could affect his anxiety and he believes that, had he been more aware of mental illness, the panic attack wouldn’t have been as bad.
Now, he has measures in place to deal with his attacks when they happen, including meditating twice a day and cutting down on drinking.
He uses his music as a form of ‘therapy’ (Picture: Getty Images)
‘I don’t even really think about it because it’s something I’ve always done, it’s only recently I’ve been writing and realised my lyrics are incredibly honest,’ he said.
‘It’s only recently when a friend said, “You really do write, there’s not many barriers up,” but I think it’s something I’ve always done.
‘Music comes from a place that is a bit deeper. It’s out of love or compassion, comes a great piece of art. In order to create something, I have to be able to access some sort of honesty. I find that easy to do if I write honestly.’

Ardal said: ‘I’ve spent the last four summers in Guadeloupe playing DI Jack Mooney (solving over 20 murder cases in my time there!) It’s been a hugely rewarding and unforgettable experience, working with incredibly talented actors, directors and crew while discovering a magical part of the world.
‘However, it’s time to move on and explore other opportunities – preferably nearer the Arctic Circle. I’m confident that Death in Paradise will go from strength to strength and viewers will share my enthusiasm for Jack’s successor!’

In the first episode of season nine, which airs on 9 January 2020, New Year’s Eve celebrations are cut short when a masked man stabs a woman in her own home.
Jack and the team must uncover the identity of the mystery murderer before they strike again.
Death In Paradise remains one of the BBC’s most popular shows, with season eight drawing in an average of over seven millions viewers.
Ardal is the latest star to announce his departure after Danny John-Jules (Dwayne) and Josephine Jobert (Florence).
Danny was replaced by Shyko Amos, who plays new police officer Ruby Patterson.
While the show’s sunny location suggests that it’s all plain sailing on set – that’s not always the case, as Shyko recently tore her calf muscle and was left on crutches.
Death In Paradise series 9 will air on Thursday 9 January 2020.

Millie Bobby Brown has shared an adorable childhood throwback, channeling everyone’s queen, Adele, to end the decade.
Not a bad way to see in the new year.
The Stranger Things star melted everyone’s hearts by posting a video of six-year-old her belting out Someone Like You – and she’s definitely got some pipes.
Reflecting on the past decade, the 15-year-old wrote: ‘At the beginning of this decade I was 6 years old. going to school. making my class listen to me sing 24/7. probably not even thinking about where I’d be at the end of the decade.
‘This video was taken in 2011 when I was 7 and utterly obsessed with @adele and still utterly obsessed. no change. this decade has been life changing, like seriously.

‘I found my passion in 2013 when I knew I loved being on camera. in 2014 -2015 I was begging casting agents to believe in me. in late 2015 Carmen Cuba, the duffer bros, shawn levy, and dan cohen but most of all @netflix believed in me.
‘From there I’ve been all over the world meeting all of you. Met the most genuine people. grown up and learned many things.
‘I’m turning 16 soon and I can confidently say I’m living my dreams out. this is what I want for every young person right now. thank you to everyone for all of your support. love you forever.’
She could get up to a $800,000 (£621,000) bonus if it’s a box office performer, according to TMZ, as well as a potential $500k (£388k) pay for landing a producer credit.
On top of that, it’s allegedly been written into her contract she’s to travel by private jet, which will make the promotional trail all that much easier.

Linda Carter’s drinking is out of control in EastEnders (Picture: BBC)
EastEnders fans were left scratching their heads on New Year’s Eve after producers decided to change the format of the show completely.
The final installment of the year — and of the decade — centred around one of the soap’s most important storylines, as Linda Carter’s (Kellie Bright) battle with alcoholism received the sole focus.
The aim of such an episode was to highlight the harsh realities that come with alcoholism and it was told completely from Linda’s perspective.
Linda’s disappearance on Christmas Day has been a huge talking point for fans on the BBC One soap — and her whereabouts is seemingly of importance, given her reluctance to talk about it.
During the episode, Linda was continually trying to call someone and desperately said that she ‘needed to speak to them’.
It was so ‘surreal’ (Picture: BBC)
What just happened? (Picture: BBC)
Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) tried to stop her from drinking even more only for Linda to reject her help outright.
Her friends speculating about Keanu ‘going missing’ sent Linda looking for more drinks, but she found Honey (Emma Barton) pining over kissing Billy (Perry Fenwick) instead.
She confessed: ‘If you think that’s stupid, I got so wrecked Christmas Eve, I never even made home.’
‘Christmas Day, my husband waking up on his own. What you think about that, then?’
As Linda stumbled around in the Square, she was confronted by Martin Fowler who dragged her into the alleyway as she screamed at him.
‘It’s killing me, I can’t do this,’ she screamed at him.
‘Well you’ve got to… keep this shut understand?’ he responded.
‘No one can know. If you breathe a word about what we did, what happened at Christmas, then we’re dead.’
Following the episode, fans took to social media to question what had actually gone (and we have no idea either).
#EastEnders was surreal….. Great acting from Kelly Bright (Linda). I thought she was some kind of superwoman drinking endless alcohol… The end was shocking but not surprising, as I had a feeling she was somewhat involved with Keanu's disappearance
She’s ending the decade with some self-love (Picture: Rex Features)
Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall is all about the self-love but she revealed it’s been a long journey to get there.
The star shared an old Facebook post from 2010 and shocked herself with the ‘self-hatred’ and language used in it.
Sharing a post from the beginning of the decade, under the name Louise Ross, teenage Jade had written: ‘Dear santa, could you please supply with some appropriately sized boobs, so that i feel like a lady and not a 12 year old.
‘Also i would love to have a body more toned than nicole scherzinger’s and if you could get rid of this spot on my chin which has so conveniately timed itself to appear for christmas and my birthday, that would be nice [sic].’
She finished up the post: ‘Much love and i still think you’re real, jade xx’.
Reflecting on the post on her Instagram, the 27-year-old wrote: ‘Kinda funny but WOW the self hatred here!! I feel sad knowing that version of myself in 2010 was so self conscious she felt the need to post publicly self deprecating herself [sic].
‘Just recovering from anorexia and no idea I was about to be pummelled into an industry that feeds off this kinda negative s***.
‘It’s taken 10 years and while I still have normal days of feeling crap I can honestly say I love my little t*ttied, sometimes spotty imperfect self and you should too ☺️ I’m going into this decade with a whole lotta love for myself.’

We’re definitely taking a leaf out of her book. Self-love all round, folks.
Aside from fans fearing that she’s now going to be stalked on Facebook (never fear guys, she doesn’t use it anymore), people are living for the message.
‘I’m so so proud of you gorgeous!’ one wrote, with another dubbing her a ‘woke queen’.

Screengrabbing a small part of the comments section and sharing it on her Instagram Story, Jade wrote: ‘These horny commenters have no chill.’
Savage.

Dame Edna couldn’t help but joke about Sharon Osbourne’s cosmetic surgery as she revealed she’s had her vagina ‘tweaked’.
Speaking on her New Year’s Eve special Dame Edna Rules The Waves she quizzed the former X Factor host about going under the knife as she cheekily asked ‘you’ve been to the panel beaters a few times haven’t you?’
To which Sharon responded: ‘I am not ashamed to say I have had three different facelifts, well four including the original one.
‘I get bored of looking at the same thing in the mirror.’
Sharon continued: ‘So many people have cosmetic surgery now and you’ll look at them on TV and think that one looks a bit different and then everyone talks about you behind your back and so I’m like “don’t talk about me when I’m not there, talk to me now and I’ll tell you what I have had done.’
Not letting it go, Dame Edna added: ‘You have been landscaped haven’t you and you’ve had an intimate part of your body tweaked?’
To which Sharon candidly revealed: ‘My vagina.’
Uh oh! (Picture: BBC)
Dame Edna laughed: ‘So yours doesn’t know if it’s coming or going – she is a shapeshifter isn’t she?’
It’s not the first time that this has happened as Dame Edna has previously mocked Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne’s marriage as she exclaimed to Alison Hammond ‘if you woke up next to Ozzy wouldn’t you have problems?’
In an interview on This Morning, Alison questioned the Dame about her new show (which is aired on a boat) and what it was like to interview Sharon.
She was only joking.. (Picture: ITV)
In a short clip, it showed Dame Edna interviewing the former judge as she told the host: ‘I have been very lucky to interview
‘Sharon Osbourne is a darling and she is much smaller than you would expect and she talked about the problems she has with Ozzy.’
Alison then questioned: ‘What problems has she had?’
‘If you woke up next to Ozzy wouldn’t you have problems?’ she joked.

Because that definitely hasn’t got old.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Piers shared a selfie with his daughter with Celia Walden, as they stared down the camera while holidaying in Antigua.
Looking all serious, Piers and his eight-year-old were apparently impersonating the searing stare-down Greta levelled at Donald Trump.
‘”I’m going to do my Greta Thunberg face, Dada… because you’ve stolen my childhood too!”,’ Piers captioned the photo, adding the tag ‘howDAREshe’.

Speaking on the Christmas Special he exclaimed: ‘I’ve been dedicated to this business for a long, long time and accepted that it was over for me.
‘And I coped. But I realised just how much the business makes me who I am.
‘I love it so much.’

He then added how he feels the most comfortable in his own skin when he’s making other people laugh.
‘When I’m entertaining, something happens to me when I walk into the light,’ he explained. ‘I just come alive.
‘I didn’t think that it would ever happen again and to be given the opportunity, I’m so happy – I couldn’t tell you.’
When host Holly Willoughby asked what it was like hearing the crowd cheer for him, he gushed: ‘Oh, amazing. I’ve forgot [sic] what it was like obviously because it’s been quite a while.’
Unfortunately, Michael broke his wrist during rehearsals and won’t actually be competing in the upcoming Dancing On Ice series next year.
Dancing On Ice launches on 5 January on ITV.
