Holmes has allegedly decided that she is ready to give 3-year-old daughter Suri another sibling because she feels that her film career is more established.

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has been questioned by police over claims that he assaulted his young Russian lover.
The 62-year-old was arrested in the high street of Claygate, Esher, Surrey, by officers called to reports of an assault.
It is understood his on-off girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, 20, claimed he attacked her during a row.
A Surrey Police spokesman said Wood was released on bail until a date next month pending further inquiries.
A Surrey Police spokesman said on Thursday: "We can confirm that a 62-year-old man from Esher was arrested last night on suspicion of assault in connection with a domestic incident in Claygate High Street.
"He has this afternoon been released on bail until a date in January pending further inquiries."
ROLLING Stone Ronnie Wood was arrested amid claims that he "choked" his young Russian lover during a violent street bust-up.
The guitarist, 62, was said to have dragged 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova by the scruff of her neck in the 30-minute row.
He was held on suspicion of assault but freed yesterday on police bail pending further inquiries.
Wood had threatened to stub out a cigarette in his Russian lover's FACE as they argued in the street, it was claimed last night.
Police arrested the wrinkly Rolling Stones legend after witnesses claimed they saw him "choking" waif-like waitress Ekaterina while dragging her screaming along a pavement.
Last night it was claimed he only halted the alleged assault after a man heard "gurgling" sounds and shouted at him to stop.
Cops are investigating claims the guitarist hovered drunkenly over the terrified beauty with his cigarette inches from her face during a 30-minute fracas.
Ekaterina - said to have been dragged 20ft by the collar of her blouse and jacket - suffered knee injuries near the pair's Surrey home on Wednesday night. Her tights had been ripped.
Witness Celine Dixon said: "We heard a woman screaming, then saw a man pinning her to the ground.
"He was shouting at her then we heard choking sounds so my boyfriend rushed out to help. When he got outside he saw it was Ronnie and Ekaterina."
Dazed
Wood - whose band's hits include Street Fighting Man - is said to have walked away, leaving dazed Ekaterina crying in a shop doorway when challenged by Celine's boyfriend Phillip Legge.
She was helped to Phillip and Celine's nearby home and quizzed by police.
Officers then drove her to the £5million pad she shares with Wood in Claygate, Surrey, and arrested him on suspicion of assault.
The alcoholic rock idol - worth an estimated £70million - spent a night sobering up in a grim cell at Staines Police Station.
He was driven home in a BMW limousine yesterday after being put on police bail pending further inquiries.
He has not yet been charged with any offences.
A police source said: "Ekaterina was very distressed and had cuts on her knees from where it seems she'd been dragged along the street.
"But she was insistent she didn't want police involved or to press charges.
"Despite her refusal, witnesses allege this was a potentially serious assault and he may face charges in any case once the evidence is assessed.
"We're looking at allegations that at one point he had her by the scruff of the neck and her collar was so tight she seemed to be choking."
Witnesses said the bust-up came after the pair met at their favourite Indian restaurant.
One local said: "There was an awful racket."
It is the second time in recent months police have been called to an argument between dad-of-four Wood and Ekaterina - at the centre of his break-up from wife Jo in July of last year.
In September, the star was thought to have dumped the young beauty after a furious row outside a £5million North London mansion.
It was said she threatened to commit suicide during that row over his plans to have dinner with estranged Jo, who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.
Wood and Ekaterina kissed and made up days later and had seemed happy in their new Claygate home.
But pals say the blonde has become increasingly jealous of her craggy-faced lover's continuing closeness to Jo, 54, and their family.
A spokesman for Wood confirmed his arrest, but said: "We have no further statement at this time." Police said a man was arrested in connection with a "domestic incident".

Police say a former cast member of the 1980s television show "Family Ties" has been arrested for investigation of assault in Colorado.
Police said Monday that 28-year-old Brian Bonsall got into a fight at an apartment on Saturday and hit a friend with part of a broken wooden stool.
Bonsall allegedly told officers he had been drinking and didn't remember what happened.
Bonsall played Michael J. Fox's little brother Andy Keaton on the sitcom.
He is being held in the Boulder County Jail and was due in court Wednesday. Jail records didn't indicate his lawyer's name.
Authorities say Bonsall was sentenced to probation in 2007 for assaulting his girlfriend. He was later accused of probation violations.
The former child actor lives in Westminster, Colo., about 20 miles south of Boulder.
Gisele Bundchen and husband Tom Brady have welcomed a baby boy, according to People.
The magazine has quoted sources that claim the supermodel has given birth to her first child, although details of when and where have not been revealed.
The couple announced the pregnancy in September.
Brady recently stated that he was the only person who knew the gender of the child, after his wife opted not to know until the birth.
The couple tied the knot in Santa Monica in February. Brady is already father to 2-year-old son John from his relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
A representative has yet to comment on the reports.

Former Dallas star Victoria Principal has signed up for a seat on the first commercial passenger spacecraft.
The actress, who played Pamela Barnes Ewing on the long-running drama, told People that she had always dreamed of the opportunity to travel into space.

The VSS Enterprise will reportedly take two pilots and six passengers to the edge of space, allowing those on board to experience weightlessness. The first flights are scheduled to begin in 2011.
Principal, 59, was the third person to buy a $200,000 ticket for the trip and the first woman.

Speaking to People, a spokesperson for the Pirates Of The Caribbean star dismissed reports that he has popped the question to supermodel Kerr.

This is not the first time that the couple have played down reports of an impending wedding. Earlier this year, Kerr told reporters in Australia that they should not always believe what they read about her personal life.

TMZ is reporting and E! Online is confirming with court documents that Courtney Love has temporarily lost legal custody of Frances Bean, her daughter with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

30 Rock star Grizz Chapman has announced that he needs a kidney transplant.
The 35-year-old actor, who plays Tracy Morgan's sidekick Grizz on the NBC sitcom, confirmed that he was diagnosed with kidney disease two years ago and has been undergoing dialysis treatment three times a week. It is thought that severe hypertension caused his condition.
Chapman also revealed that he is required to lose around 75 pounds before he is deemed a viable candidate for the transplant.
Speaking to People, he promised: "Whatever I can do for the longevity of my life, I'm going to do."
He continued: "I'm afraid to get [the transplant] because of all the unknown things. You can put a kidney in your body - and somewhere down the line your body might reject it. I'm not saying I don't want to go through with it, but it's a little scary. It's a big decision."
Chapman said that he had decided to speak out over his problems in order to convince others to take their health more seriously.
Meanwhile, the father-of-two assured fans that he will continue to play the role of Grizz for the foreseeable future.

Jake and Reese met on the set of the movie Rendition but have never talked publicly about their relationship.

The Walt Disney Company announced that Walt's nephew succumed to his illness at his home in Newport Beach, CA.
He is best known for being unafraid to shake up the firm his father Roy and uncle helped build.

Roy oversaw hits such as The Lion King as vice chairman of Disney's board of directors and chairman of its animation division. Two short films he was involved in nabbed Academy Awards. The first was 1959's Mysteries of the Deep, which he co-wrote, and the second was 2003's Destino, which he co-produced.
In 2007, Forbes magazine ranked him as the 754th richest person in the world and estimated his fortune at $1.3bn (£897m). In 2005, he pledged $10m (£6.1m) to establish the Roy and Patricia Disney Cancer Center at Providence St. Joseph Medical Centre in Burbank.

Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly been left broken hearted after Reese Witherspoon allegedly ended their relationship.
The Brokeback Mountain actor, who is believed to have split from Witherspoon earlier this month after two years together, had apparently been hoping that they would get married.
A friend of Gyllenhaal told Us Weekly magazine: "It broke his heart. She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn't ready. She couldn't give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her.
"She really worried that they didn't have enough in common. When she was giving all of her energy to Jake, she felt like she wasn't giving her kids enough. He was great with the kids, but she felt like he didn't get the whole scope of what that entailed."
Reese has 10-year-old daughter Ava and 6-year-old son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.

The Transformers actor apparently flew the singer to the town in a helicopter from LA and the pair were then picked up in a limo and taken to the venue. The 15-minute ceremony took place overlooking the sea and the Black Eyed Peas star was "crying and very emotional". The couple finished off the special day with dinner at Miro restaurant. "They had the whole restaurant to themselves and left before the first customers came in," a source revealed. It's been a tough first year for the pair.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has announced that doctors have given him the all-clear following treatment for prostate cancer.
The composer told the Daily Mail that he will still require regular check-ups to ensure he has beaten the disease, but is delighted to have responded well to surgery.
He said: "It is the hugest relief. We have arrived at the end of a long journey, at the best possible outcome... My children have a father."
The 61-year-old's spokesperson confirmed in October that he was being treated for cancer and had undergone surgery to remove his prostate gland.
Lloyd-Webber also warned men to visit a GP "at once" if feel they have any problems "down under - however embarrassing".
"In my case, I will be 62 next year and I have five children," he said. "Most importantly, I am alive."
The star is due to launch a new BBC show later this year to find up-and-coming actors to play Dorothy and Toto in a production of The Wizard of Oz.

Jude Law has decided that he wants to propose to his ex-fiancée Sienna Miller, according to a report.
The Sherlock Holmes star resolved to make a commitment to Miller after soul-searching over the Christmas holidays, The Mirror claims.
A source told the newspaper: "Sienna was always the one. And now she is back in his life he never wants to let her go again. Jude did some serious thinking over Christmas in Blighty with his ex-wife Sadie and the kids. And he realises just how important family life is to him.
"Sienna's nearest and dearest are getting their wedding hats ready as the buzz reaches them they are about to get engaged. It's only a matter of time before Jude pops the question. He and Sienna have never been happier together."
The pair reportedly reunited last November and were later tipped to start living together again in the spring.
Law and Miller previously broke off an engagement in 2006. They had struggled to get their romance back on track after the actor admitted that he had been unfaithful.
David Copperfield has reportedly been cleared in the investigation over an alleged rape.
According to TMZ, federal prosecutors dropped the case without filing charges against the magician.
The woman who submitted the complaint claimed in a civil suit that Copperfield invited her to his private island in the Bahamas in 2007. She said that Copperfield sexually assaulted her there.
The star's attorneys dismissed the lawsuit, calling it "extortion for money, plain and simple".

Channing Tatum has apparently been rushed to hospital after a scalding accident on the set of his latest movie.
The GI Joe star is said to have scorched his penis when his technique to keep warm on the set of The Eagle of the Ninth took a turn for the worse.
The actor had just finished a scene in the freezing cold water of the Scottish Highlands when a crew member, charged with pouring hot water over Tatum's wetsuit, accidentally tipped the boiling water inside the garment.
"It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life," he told Details. "I've been to the hospital, gotten stitches, had broken fingers and toes. But this was a suffocating kind of pain."
On the way to the hospital, Tatum is thought to have told the driver: "You might have to knock me out, because I don't know if I can take the pain. Just grab something and hit me on the back of my head."
It has been reported that morphine eventually alleviated the injury, along with salves and bandages.
"I'm good... now. One hundred per cent recovered," Tatum added.

The heir to the throne of Italy, Prince Emanuele Filiberto is claiming that he had an affair with supermodel Kate Moss. The prince says that the affair started when the unlikely pair were introduced through mutual friend Marianne Faithfull while on holiday in Corsica six years ago. "Who would not fall in love with Kate Moss? She is charming, intelligent and very beautiful," he revealed to Italian magazine Chi. "We were together for about eight months and she was a wonderful and fascinating woman, not bizarre or weird at all. Then our relationship ended because that's how things go. But I remember her as a passionate woman." The prince is now married to French actress Clotilde Courau, while Kate has been dating The Kills' Jamie Hince since 2007.
A sex tape involving Lindsay Lohan is reportedly on the verge of being released.

The tape is thought to be getting its first release on an "offshore porn site" before becoming available all over the world. A source said that the footage showed the Mean Girls star engaging in "a particular sex act". "This video file is dynamite... If and when it is released on the internet, via a spurious, unofficial website, there is absolutely nothing she or her lawyers can do about it," the source added. Despite the imminent release, LiLo put on a brave face this week and attended a party in LA, wearing a revealing blouse.

Vernon Kay has apologised on his radio show after sending explicit text messages to around five women.
The All Star Family Fortunes presenter, who has two young daughters with his wife Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly, interrupted his weekly Radio 1 slot to tell his two million listeners he had been "foolish and stupid".
Without referring directly to the texts, Kay said he had "disappointed and let down a lot of people", adding: "To my family and everybody else, I am very sorry."
Kay denied having sex with the women he had texted but admitted he had flirted while using the computer phone service Skype.
In an interview with She magazine just weeks before reports of the raunchy messages emerged, Daly, 38, spoke about how much she trusts her husband.
She said she did not get jealous when the 35-year-old former model got attention from other females, because he told her "all girls ever want to talk about" was her.
The Bolton-born presenter married Daly, also a former model, in 2003 and their daughter Phoebe was born the following year. Their second daughter, Amber, was born in May last year.
The couple worked together in 2007 on the BBC show Just The Two Of Us which saw celebrities performing duets with professional singers.

He said on his Twitter page: "I know I'm fat. But was [the flight captain] really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?
"I'm way fat. But I'm not THERE just yet. But if I am, why wait till my bag is up and I'm seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN in front of a packed plane with a bunch of folks who'd already I.d.ed me as Silent Bob" (a character he has played in several of his films

Chynna Phillips has entered a rehab facility for anxiety.
"With the full support of her family and friends, she is looking forward to her recovery," said her publicist, Lizzie Grubman, who didn't disclose the location. "We ask that people respect her and her family's privacy at this time."
The Wilson Phillips member is the half-sister of Mackenzie Phillips, who last fall claimed to have had an incestuous relationship with their late father, John Phillips. While Chynna's mother, Michelle Phillips, says she does not believe the claims, Chynna has publicly supported Mackenzie.
"I knew it was true," said Chynna Phillips, who has three children with husband Billy Baldwin. "I mean, who in their right mind would make such a claim if it wasn't true?
As half of the Christian pop duo Chynna & Vaughan, the 42-year-old singer released an album, One Reason, in September, a day before Mackenzie's claims were made public.
Kerry Katona has dumped husband Mark Croft after he accused her of being unfaithful, according to a report.
The reality star was furious when Croft became convinced that she had cheated on him during her recent stay at fitness camp, The Sun claims.
A source told the newspaper: "Kerry came back feeling like a million dollars. But Mark, always one to think the worst of her, was convinced she had been seeing someone.
"It was ridiculous but he wouldn't let it lie and they had a huge bust-up. She told him, 'We're finished'."
It is thought that Katona has jetted off for a holiday abroad with her children and wants Croft to be out of their Cheshire home before she returns.
The former I'm A Celebrity... winner has split from Croft in the past, but has allegedly said that the break-up is 'for good this time'.
How often have we read about her dumping him?

Another installment in the Kerry Katona Saga:
CRACKPOT Kerry Katona gave hubby Mark Croft his marching orders after getting special ATTENSHUN! from a married Royal Marine fitness instructor.
We can reveal it was Kerry's closeness to a mini muscleman called Kevin Green at GI Jane Boot Camp that sparked the row which led her to tell Croft it's over.
After Croft, 39, accused her of cheating on him last weekend, Kerry, 29, ordered him to pack his bags and then fled to Tenerife with her daughter Heidi.
She denies having a physical relationship with Scotsman Kevin.
Since boot camp - where she lost a stone in two weeks - she has met up with him twice and regularly texts and phones.
A pal of the I'm A Celebrity winner said: "Kerry is on top of the world. She thinks the world of Kevin. She said she feels a very strong attraction to him, though nothing physical has happened.
"Despite being a Marine, he's only a little fella, but she said his body is hot. When Kerry gets a call from him you can see her just melt. She goes all girly and giddy."
As Kerry showed off her new slimline shape in the sunshine in Tenerife, Kevin was back home in Portsmouth with his wife and three children. He admits texting Kerry but insists he has told wife Sarah-Jayne and she is fine with it. But when we spoke to her, Sarah-Jayne looked tired and upset and declined to comment.
Since leaving the camp in Kent, Kerry has twice driven from her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire - where she lives with Croft and kids Molly, nine, Lilly-Sue, eight, Heidi, three, and Max, one - to Hampshire to hook up with Kevin.
She visited him last on Thursday, February 11, spending the night in Hampshire, and before that on February 5. He seems to have a good influence.
The pal added: "We thought she'd come back and be on the chips and curry but she's changed. She's been eating well and exercising. She hasn't even thought about taking cocaine."
Things don't look so happy for Croft, who had to deal with the Child Support Agency on Thursday. We told last week how he and Kerry dodged investigators - chasing maintenance for a four-year-old son Croft had before meeting Kerry - the Thursday before. This week he let them in and was grilled for 45 minutes.
Croft now plans to move out of the family home and into a rented house.
Kerry is said to be delighted. A pal said: "She's back on top form and is full of witty banter. It's like having the old Kerry back again."
Ex-Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig has been reported missing.

A spokesman for Charlie Sheen announced today that the Two and A Half Men star will take time off to enter a rehabilitation facility “as a preventative measure.” “He has asked that his privacy be honored,” the spokesman said. “No further statements are planned.” It’s unclear how Sheen’s unexpected absence will impact production of CBS’ most-watched comedy. On Feb. 8, Sheen was charged in Colorado with felony menacing, third degree assault, and criminal mischief. The charges are connected to the alleged Christmas Day argument between Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller. Sheen will return to court for further proceedings on March 15.
UPDATE: CBS and Warner Bros. TV, together with Men executive producer Chuck Lorre, released this joint statement: “CBS, Warner Bros. TV and Chuck Lorre support Charlie Sheen in his decision today to begin voluntary in-patient care at a treatment center. We wish him nothing but the best as he deals with this personal matter. Production on Two and A Half Men will be temporarily suspended.” Men has already taped 18 episodes this season, three of which have yet to air. CBS ordered 24 episodes from Warner Bros. TV
Ex-Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig has been reported missing.

Andrew Koenig's parents wish their son had realized how many people cared about him.
"My son took his own life," dad Walter Koenig said during a police news conference this evening. "Obviously, he was in a lot of pain."
Andrew's body was discovered by a group of friends who had organized their own search at noon Thursday in a densely wooded area of Vancouver's Stanley Park.
Walter said that Andrew considered the 1,000-acre landmark a second home. Police said that three search-and-rescue teams searched the area on Tuesday because they knew it was one of his favorite places, but found no trace of him.
Now that their son is gone, the actor's parents hope that others who suffer from depression will be encouraged to seek help.
"I have received hundreds of emails from people who said they are depressed and considering the same course of action or showed signs of the same behavior," Walter, who played Chekov on the original Star Trek, said.
"The only thing I will say is if you are one of these people and feel you can’t handle it anymore, I hope you learn from this. Know that there are people are out there who really care. It may not be enough, but before you make your final decision, check it out again, talk to somebody."
Added Andrew's mother, Judith: "People don't realize there is help. Families, familiarize yourself with these signs. Don't rationalize anything away. People have shown signs of love.
"In his pain, Andrew didn't realize what was available to him. He had much love and much to contribute. This is the only statement we are going to make. Please respect our privacy."
Vancouver Police Constable Jana McGuiness said that they do not suspect foul play. The investigation will now be turned over to the coroner's office.
"It's a devastating day for the family," McGuiness said, adding that there will be no comment on cause or time of death for the time being, due to the sensitivity of the matter.

Since her split from boyfriend Chuck Wicks in November, country and dancing darling Julianne Hough appears to be enjoying the single life.
In December she was briefly linked to Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill, and the Dancing with the Stars pro now seems to be spending some quality time with funnyman Dane Cook.
Hough, 21, attended Cook's surprise performance at Hollywood's Laugh Factory Saturday night. A source says that after his set, the comedian walked over to Hough, who was seated at a private table, and "kissed her, and they quickly left together."
The duo's night continued as they headed for dinner at Sam Nazarian's Katsuya Hollywood, where they ate in the very private Dragon Room.
"They looked very happy together, and very affectionate," says an onlooker. The two sat side by side and shared a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes before heading out of the restaurant together.
The two were also spotted chatting at the CAA Golden Globes party at the Buffalo Club earlier this year.

Hollywood stars Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have become first-time parents - the actress gave birth to a baby girl in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Dane revealed the sex of his baby in a recent interview, but insisted he and his wife would wait to see their daughter before naming her.
He explained, "Rebecca wants to see her before we start calling her it... You want to make sure the name sticks."
But he confirmed the pair have had a couple of names in mind for some time - and neither are bizarre showbusiness names: "We went straight down the middle."
The baby's name and other labour details had not been released yet.
TELLY chef Jamie Oliver announced there's another bun in the oven as his wife Jools is expecting their fourth child.
The pair, who have three girls, are said to be "delighted" to be expanding their brood again.
Former model Jools is due to give birth in September.
The brunette, who has been married to Essex man Jamie for ten years, only gave birth to their third tot Petal Blossom Rainbow in April last year.
She joined Poppy Honey, seven and Daisy Boo, six, with the couple sticking to floral themes for all their names.
Jools, who suffers from polycystic ovaries, has been open about her problems conceiving in the past.
She opted to take fertility drugs when her and Jamie first started trying for children but conceived unaided for the birth of their second child.
Meanwhile, Jamie - who is said to earn around £7 million a year from his books, TV deals and restaurants - has discussed his wife's love of kids and her early desire to start a family.
He previously explained: "She just wanted to be a mother and that was it. I didn't understand at all.
"Until she became a mother, I never understood how honest she was being."

Peter Andre has revealed that he considered suicide after crippling panic attacks. The 36-year-old singer-turned-TV presenter admitted that the frequent attacks became so unbearable that he thought about ending his life: "You can have thoughts like that and I'm not going to lie, there were times when it was so bad that I thought: 'Am I better off?'"
Pete credits his family with saving him, saying: "You have to look at what's around you. My family were my entire life and I thought: 'How are they going to live the rest of their lives?' That's what stopped me."
The star - who split from wife Katie Price last year - ended up in hospital 10 years ago when he had a serious breakdown brought on by the pressures of fame - then the backlash - but says today that he will never let himself get so low again, despite his last panic attack happening just three months ago after his break-up with the glamour model. "Because of my kids these days I can't be anywhere I can't control...they need me and I will always be there for them."

Take That star Mark Owen has admitted cheating on his wife with "maybe ten" different women.
The singer, famous for his squeaky clean image, said that problems with alcohol were to blame for the string of affairs, one of which - with 24-year-old account manager Neva Hanley - lasted five years.
Owen insists he's been faithful since marrying wife Emma (nee Ferguson, pictured) five months ago, but confessed to having slept with Hanley just weeks before the pair were wed.
The other infidelities were, he says, short-term flings with Take That fans on tour.
Owen and Emma have had two children together - Elwood, aged three, and Willow Rose, who's one.
"I denied to her I was having an affair when things were going on," said Owen, explaining why he'd chosen to come out with the revelations now.
"I want to do the right thing now for the kids and Emma. She is absolutely without a doubt the only person I want to be with for the rest of my life.
"I'm so deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused... I have been an idiot, a d***head, a k***head. All of the above and more"

Why didn't the asshole confess to his wife years ago. What good is it going to do now.
Mark Owen has reportedly been kicked out by wife Emma after confessing to affairs with ten different women.
According to The Mirror, the Take That star is currently sleeping on a blow-up bed at a friend's flat after admitting his infidelity in a private discussion with his partner on Tuesday.
It is thought that Emma, who has two children with the singer, told her husband: "Get out. You're a liar and a cheat."
A source told the newspaper: "If Mark can keep his marriage together it will be a total miracle. He can say whatever he wants, but Emma doesn't know how she can ever trust him again."
The insider added: "It turns out that he has betrayed her throughout their relationship. He's not the nice man she thought he was.
"She was in a state of shock when Mark finally confessed all on Tuesday. She listened calmly and then told him to leave straight away. He didn't even have time to pack his bags."
Reports suggest that Owen confessed all after hearing that one of his secret partners, 24-year-old Neva Handley, had decided to sell her story.
The popstar publicly revealed his cheating in a newspaper interview yesterday, but insisted that he had stayed faithful since his wedding last November.

VERNON Kay's text sex shame has cost him a lucrative six-figure sponsorship deal with car maker Alfa Romeo, The Sun can reveal.
The All-Star Family Fortunes presenter was set to become the new face of the Italian motoring giant.
But the dad of two's clean-cut image was shattered after we exposed him last month.
That led Alfa Romeo bosses to put the brakes on the deal, believed to be worth £100,000.
A spokesman for the firm said last night: "We had been in discussions with a view to recruiting Vernon in an ambassadorial role for the brand. But in the light of what has happened, we have dropped that idea."
Vernon, 35 - wed to Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly - admitted sending a string of steamy texts to five women, including Page 3 girl Rhian Sugden.
Last week Tess, 40, spoke for the first time about her humiliation. She told BBC1's The One Show "it's been tough" but she said their ten-year romance was "worth fighting for".
Alfa Romeo is now believed to be luring Italian TV chef Gino D'Acampo, 33, who won I'm A Celeb. A source close to Vernon said last night: "This is the last thing he needs."

Peter Graves - star of the classic TV series Mission: Impossible and disaster spoof movie Airplane! - has died in the US city of Los Angeles. He was 83.
The actor had a suspected heart attack outside his home after a meal with his family, about a week before his 84th birthday, said publicist Sandy Brokaw.
Graves was perhaps best known for his role as special agent Jim Phelps in the popular TV series Mission: Impossible.
He also played bungling pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 film Airplane!.
The actor initially turned down the role but was talked round by the film-makers, who told him his dry, deadpan humour made him perfect for the spoof disaster moovie.
He had just returned from lunch on Sunday with his wife and children when he collapsed before making it into the house, his publicist said.
He had this statesmanlike quality
Sandy Brokaw
Publicist
One of his daughters tried in vain to revive him.
"He had this statesman-like quality," publicist Brokaw told AP news agency. "People were always encouraging him to run for office. But he said: 'I like acting. I like being around actors."'
The police said the star had died of "natural causes" at his home.
Awards
Arguably his most famous role was in the long-running TV show Mission: Impossible, in which Graves led a squad of American government special agents battling evil conspirators.
Every show began with Graves, as Agent Phelps, listening to instructions detailing his team's latest mission on a tape, which self-destructed within seconds of being played.
The show ran on CBS from 1967 to 1973 and was revived on ABC from 1988 to 1990.
"Your mission, should you decide to accept it..."
The actor said the writing was behind the show's long-running success.
"It made you think a little bit and kept you on the edge of your seat because you never knew what was going to happen next," he once said.
He won a Golden Globe in 1971 for his part in the series.
Graves appeared in about 130 film and TV shows during his career.
His first television series was the 1950s children's Saturday morning show Fury, about an orphan and an untamed black stallion.
Early in his career, he also turned in a memorable performance as a Nazi spy in the 1953 prisoner-of-war drama Stalag 17.
In recent years, he hosted the A&E Network's long-running historical series, Biography.
It won him an Emmy for outstanding informational series in 1997.

Mark Owen’s wife is taking him back for the sake of their children.
Emma Ferguson has told the Take That singer they owe it to 15-month old daughter Willow Rose and son Elwood, three, to try and work things out after he confessed last week to having sex with 10 other women during his relationship with her.
A source close to the family said: “Emma will do absolutely anything for her beautiful children. Mark has been a complete idiot - which he openly admits - but it doesn't stop him being a brilliant dad.
“He dotes over those kids and Emma knows it. It's a long road ahead. But for the sake of their children, she will forgive him.”
Mark, 38, has checked into rehab to get help for alcohol dependency since his admission to Emma and has vowed to stay there “indefinitely” until he overcomes his problem.
A source close to him told The Sun newspaper: "He begged her to give him time to prove he can give up drinking forever.
“He said he might feel strong enough to come home after just one week, or it might take a month or more.
"He is doing everything to convince her he is worth staying with."
Emma, 33, has been comforted by friends at the family’s home in London.
She now needs time to work out how she can fully forgive Mark, who she married last November after five years together.
A friend added: “Emma wants so much to believe this could never happen again - she just needs time to heal and consider whether she can fully forgive."
Mark’s bandmates – Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - are lending him their full support, as well as former Take That star Robbie Williams.

Sandra Bullock has left her South California marital home, amidst allegations that her husband Jesse James had an affair.
US magazine People confirms that the Oscar-winning actress left the house a few days ago, while the sordid story hit the headlines yesterday.
Tattoo model Michelle McGee revealed to In Touch magazine that she enjoyed an 11-month affair with James, while his wife was away on location in Atlanta, filming her award-winning performance in The Blind Side.
She went on to claim that she and James met up on a weekly basis, and that when she asked him about Sandra he claimed: 'She doesn't live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can't talk about it.'
Sandra has now abruptly cancelled a trip to the UK, where she was due to walk the red carpet at the London premiere of The Blind Side.
She wed James in 2005, after meeting him on the set of his TV show Monster Garage in 2004.
Plans for Jonathan Ross to sign a new deal with Channel 4 have been shelved, a report claims.
According to The Guardian, the controversial star was being lined up to move his chatshow to the broadcaster in a deal which would have earned his production company £10 million.
However, it is thought that the idea is now off the table pending the arrival of Channel 4's new chief executive David Abraham, who reportedly has doubts over whether Ross would be an appropriate signing.
Sources have suggested that the contract would have tied Ross down for two years and seen him presenting 20 episodes of his programme per year.
It is understood that some figures at Channel 4 hope that Abraham can be persuaded of Ross's potential. However, it is claimed that no other major UK broadcaster is in talks for the presenter's programme, leaving the network with extra time to consider its next move.
A spokesman for Channel 4 said: "We continue to talk to Jonathan about working together."

SAMANTHA Cameron is expecting a baby in September, it was announced today.
Mrs Cameron and her husband, Tory leader David, were said to be "completely thrilled" by the news.
Mr Cameron said in a recent TV interview with Alan Titchmarsh — recorded when he must have known of his wife's condition — that he would be happy to add another child to their family.
A Conservative Party spokesman said: "The baby is due in September and David and Samantha are completely thrilled."
The Camerons suffered tragedy in February last year when their severely disabled eldest son Ivan died aged six.
He was born in April 2002 with a rare combination of cerebral palsy and a form of severe epilepsy called Ohtahara syndrome, requiring round-the-clock care.
Recalling the moment he heard Ivan was ill, Mr Cameron said: "The news hits you like a freight train.
"You are depressed for a while because you are grieving for the difference between your hopes and the reality. But then you get over that, because he's wonderful."
The Camerons also have a four-year-old son, Arthur Elwen, and a six-year-old daughter Nancy.
Mr Cameron took paternity leave when his second son was born — a decision that received broad coverage.
According to the Tory website, Mr Cameron's family "has always been the starting point of everything he has wanted to achieve in politics".
It adds: "He is proud of the values that were instilled in him when he was young.
"Today, as a father, he knows how important quality family time is, and has made shared parental leave a priority."
Mr Cameron has admitted to being broody several times over recent months.
Answering a question on population growth from an audience member at the Woodstock Literary Festival in September, he said: "I don't believe Britain is over-populated. I don't have any plans to reduce it.
"I would quite like to add to it, personally, by quite possibly one, at some stage in the future."
Touring a maternity unit in West Yorkshire in December he met a nine-hour-old baby and told reporters: "It makes me want another one."
Mr Cameron recently disclosed that his wife was being deployed as a "secret weapon" for the general election campaign.
Downing Street said the Prime Minister and Sarah Brown were "very pleased" to hear the news of Mrs Cameron's pregnancy.
The premier's spokesman said: "They will be sending a message of best wishes to them."
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and his wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez sent a message of congratulations to the Camerons.
Mr Clegg said: "I am delighted for them both."
If Mr Cameron is Prime Minister when the baby is born, the new arrival will be only the third child born to a serving British Premier in the last 160 years.
Leo, the Blairs' fourth child, was born on May 20, 2000, while Francis Albert Rollo Russell, the third child of Lord John Russell, was born on July 11, 1849.
Earlier today, Mr Cameron admitted he hoped racy photos of his wife revealed this weekend would never come to light.
The pictures, taken more than a decade ago soon after the couple married, show Mrs Cameron in a variety of outfits, draped across sofas and rolling on the floor with a kitten.
The fashion and retail executive agreed to pose as a favour to a friend who designed the clothes.
Mr Cameron told reporters this morning that the couple were "both very surprised" when the photos surfaced.
He said: "She did these pictures a long time ago in connection with her business, I think back in 1996 or 1997.
"But we knew one day someone might remember them. We were hoping they would never appear, but they have. These things happen."

Dermot O'Leary has received a sinister voicemail message containing a threat to rape his X Factor co-star Cheryl Cole, according to a report.
Police are currently investigating after O'Leary reported the matter, The Sun claims. It is thought that the individual who sent the message had intended to contact Cole herself but had the wrong phone number.
A source told the newspaper: "The message was of a sexual, threatening and sickening nature. Dermot was horrified when he heard it. He thought at first it was a sick wind-up, but soon realised there was something sinister going on."
They added: "Somehow this caller has tried to get hold of her number and somehow accidentally got Dermot's. If they were prepared to go to that effort, who knows what they would be prepared to do?"
A spokesman for Cole said that the singer's management company is helping police with their enquiries.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the City of London Police said: "We are investigating claims of an offensive message being left on a mobile telephone. It follows a complaint from a member of the public."

Keanu Reeves has sent his best wishes to his friend and Speed co-star Sandra Bullock in the wake of the allegations concerning her husband Jesse James. The actor was attending the 2010 Toyota Pro/Celebrity race training in California at the weekend when a reporter asked if he had well wishes to send to Sandra as she deals with the allegation that her husband has had an 11-month affair. Yes, of course, I mean for everyone," said Keanu. But when asked if he had spoken to the star, the actor decided it was better to stay quiet and walked off.
Earlier this week the star's husband apologised for causing the Oscar-winning actress any embarrassment but denied that the rumours were true. Sandra has moved out of the couple's home and has not been seen since the allegations were published.

Cheryl Cole has been named the most inspirational woman of the Noughties in a poll.
The pop babe pipped the likes of The Queen and Jennifer Aniston, 41, to claim the first spot, reports The Daily Star.
More than 50 percent of the women who took part in the poll claimed the stunner was an idol because of her successful career, while more than a quarter rated her tops because of her natural beauty.
The poll – by cosmetic surgery website goodsurgeonguide.co.uk – named actress Dame Helen Mirren, 64, runner-up.
Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, 56, came third, with Friends star Jennifer fourth. Fifth went to Katie Piper, 26, and The Queen was sixth.
Claudia Schiffer has announced that her unborn child is a girl.
The supermodel, who already has 7-year-old Caspar and 5-year-old Clementine with director husband Matthew Vaughn, announced the baby's sex on German television earlier this week.
Schiffer, who is due in May, said: "I have cravings like any other pregnant woman, but I like to drink beer. Non-alcoholic beer!"
She also talked about taking time off for this baby, saying: "I used to work every single day and travel round the world. I worked weekends, I never took one second off.
"When I met my husband I said, 'You know what, this is important. I'm not going to work weekends anymore.' And when I had kids, I became even more careful. Modelling work is fine because you can do one day here, two days there - you're never long gone."
CHERYL Cole has poured out her heart about the new man in her life.
Girls Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole stunned millions as she revealed her true feelings for hunky Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am live on air.
Yesterday was the first time Cheryl had spoken of her private life since her split from cheating husband Ashley last month.
She cooed about how the 34-year-old music producer was “absolutely inspiring, fantastic, futuristic, creative”.
And she raved: “I would work with Will for the rest of my life if I could.
“He is everything you would want from a producer, and also from a person. He’s a lovely person.
“I’d work with him for ever if I could.”
Stunned Radio 1 host Fearne Cotton, 28, was so taken aback by the outpouring that she asked: “Is he a bit in love with you?”
Giggling Cheryl, 26, replied: “No, no Fearne!”
She went on to joke that she may adopt the stage name “Cher.i.am”.
And while Ashley’s name did not cross her lips, she could not stop raving about Will.
She said they would have plenty of time to get to know one another when she joins the Black Eyed Peas on tour in May.
“It’ll just be little old me rattling around in a bus,” she said playfully.
“A bus feels kind of lonely without the girls. I’ll be on my own bus but I’ll travel with the band.”
Her transatlantic “come and get me” came after LA music mogul Will admitted he would move to London if Cheryl, who he has dubbed his “Perfect 10”, would go out with him.
According to his pals, the pair have been constantly texting since Cheryl kicked out Ashley, 29, over claims he cheated on her with five different women.
The Chelsea and England star has long been jealous of the pair’s close friendship, which dates back to 2008 when Cheryl auditioned to be a dancer in one of Will’s videos.
The rap star was so impressed he instead asked her to duet with him on his hit single Heartbreaker.
He went on to produce and co-write her debut solo album 3 Words.
But pals said it was his open admiration for her beauty that left Ashley livid. Will is said to have told Cheryl Ashley must be an “idiot” for cheating on her.
Will, who boasts seven Grammys, has been linked to some of the world’s most beautiful women.
He was seen kissing Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, 31, in Los Angeles and Aussie beauty Natalie Imbruglia, 35, in London nightclub Monroes.
But he is currently single and, according to friends, focused entirely on winning Cheryl’s heart.
This week he said: “I’d move to London if it meant being with her. She’s a beautiful girl. I can’t wait to hang out with her more.”
Last night a source close to Girls Aloud, who Cheryl admitted she had been partying a little too hard with the night before yesterday’s Radio 1 Live Lounge performance, said they had been encouraging the romance.
She said: “Cheryl needs her confidence building after everything she’s been through.
“And he’s certainly doing that. The girls reckon she should go for it.’’
Noel Gallagher's partner Sara MacDonald is expecting the couple's second child, a report has claimed.
According to The Sun, MacDonald had her three-month scan this week and Gallagher is "thrilled to bits" as he prepares to become a father again.
The pair, who have been in a relationship for ten years, already have 2-year-old son Donovan together.
A source said: "Noel and Sara are over the moon. They're so happy that Donovan will have a little partner in crime to play with. Their family is complete."
The insider added: "Noel has been up to his eyes rehearsing for gigs recently and Sara has had her hands full because the family are moving house in London. The news has given them both something to smile about."
Gallagher also has 10-year-old daughter Anais from a previous relationship with Meg Matthews.
Neil 'Razor' Ruddock has confirmed his engagement to ex-Page 3 model Leah Newman.
The former Liverpool footballer and I'm A Celebrity star, 41, has been romancing Newman since 2006. They already have one daughter together and are expecting their second child in the summer.
"I'm so happy to finally be engaged. Razor and I care a lot for each other," the model told The Sun
"We are expecting our second child in August so it just feels so right and like we are becoming a proper family. He could have proposed to me in a chip shop and I would have said yes.
"He has changed a lot over the past few years and we are getting on great. I love him a lot and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him as man and wife."
Ruddock and Newman appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap together in 2007, alongside Pete Burns and his partner Michael Simpson.
I Spy actor Robert Culp died on Wednesday at the age of 79, reports The AP.
The 1960s TV star passed away after collapsing and hitting his head outside of his home in Hollywood. He was taken to hospital and doctors pronounced him dead before noon.
Culp's son was apparently told that his father died of a heart attack, but an official cause of death has yet to be released.
The actor co-starred with Bill Cosby on the popular NBC series I Spy and also appeared in the 1980s ABC show The Greatest American Hero and NBC's Columbo.
His acting career spanned 40 years and included the films Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and The Pelican Brief. Culp most recently had a recurring role on sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.
Culp had been writing screenplays before his death.
RIP Robert
Dennis Hopper has said that he is too ill to appear in court.
The actor has been deposed by his estranged wife Victoria Duffy, who is fighting the terms of their prenuptial agreement. Hopper's doctor claimed that the actor, who has been battling prostrate cancer for months, is too ill to appear in court.
"It is doubtful that Mr. Hopper will ever recover sufficiently to be subject to a deposition", oncologist David B. Agus stated, according E! Online.
Hopper has placed a restraining order against Duffy and spent $160,000 in legal fees to prevent his wife's filings.
The actor is scheduled to be inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 26.

Peaches Geldof has been axed from her six-figure deal with underwear brand Ultimo following claims about her private life.
The company said it had "no option but to terminate her contract" after deciding she was no longer a "positive" role model.
Ultimo said it would be removing visuals of the 21-year-old, who was appointed in May last year, from all shops and window displays.
It follows claims the daughter of Bob Geldof had a heroin-fuelled one night stand.
Several photographs from the night were published on the internet last week.
Her lawyer has strongly denied allegations of drug-taking saying she had "consumed alcohol".
Geldof said she was "disappointed" Ultimo had decided not to extend her contract "based on a wildly exaggerated account of a night in Los Angeles five months ago."
She added: "Whilst I vehemently deny parts of that account, I understand Ultimo's decision."
Michelle Mone, the founder of the brand, said: "We've given this a lot of thought, but there's a point where a business must stick to its principles and as a brand that targets young women, we feel it is impossible for Peaches to continue to work with us as the face of Miss Ultimo lingerie."
The range is geared towards women aged 18 to 25 and has been stocked in Debenhams stores and online.
Kelly Brook has been unveiled as the new face and body of Ultimo's latest lingerie campaign.
Model agency Storm said it had no plans to drop Geldof from its books.
The model and socialite, who was briefly married to musician Max Drummey, is the daughter of Paula Yates and Bob Geldof.
TV presenter Yates died from an accidental heroin overdose in 2000 at the age of 40.
She had split from husband Bob Geldof five years earlier following an affair with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence.
Hutchence was found dead in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia, in 1997, and Yates went on to lose custody of the three children she had with Geldof - Peaches, Pixie and Fifi - the following year.
Sandra Bullock has reportedly decided to file for divorce from estranged husband Jesse James.
The Oscar winner and James recently separated after reports of the West Coast Choppers CEO's infidelity surfaced. A source told Radar Online that Bullock has already taken steps to obtain a divorce from James.
"She's had enough. She's ending the marriage," said the insider.
To date, four women have alleged affairs with James during the couple's marriage.
A representative for Bullock earlier denied that the actress was planning to adopt his children.

Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she is the new spokesperson for Weight Watchers.
The singer/actress said that the program helped her lose the extra weight she gained during her recent pregnancy, reports People.
"With Weight Watchers, I am enjoying the weight loss because I'm doing it the right way," she said.
The Oscar winner added: "I feel empowered with what I've learned, everything from portion control to what foods will help keep me satisfied."
The 28-year-old gained 20Ibs to play Effie in Dreamgirls. She shed the extra weight shortly afterwards for the film's premiere.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have ended their five-year romance. The funnyman announced the sad news via a post on his Twitter.com blog on Tuesday. He wrote, "Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best!"
Actress/model McCarthy then took to her Twitter.com account to reassure fans the former couple will remain close friends, stating, "Im so grateful for the years Jim and I had together... (I) will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."
Both plan to stay close to each other's children, with McCarthy, who recently cooed about becoming a 'grandmother' to Carrey's daughter Jane's new baby, writing, "I will stay committed to Jane."
Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton welcomed their first child into the world on Tuesday. Their son, Julian Fuego, was born in Los Angeles, a rep for the pair confirms to People.com, adding that "mother, father and son are all doing well."
Thicke, who will celebrate his five-year wedding anniversary with Patton in June, canceled his show in L.A. on Tuesday night, citing "personal reasons." His tourmate Alicia Keys gave the new dad a shout-out onstage.
In an interview with Women's Health, Patton, who appeared in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" and stars with Queen Latifah in the upcoming "Just Wright," spoke about becoming a first-time mom. "You can get into that cycle of 'What's next? What's next?' But I thought, I want to have children, and I'm not getting any younger. I didn't know if it would be hard for me to get pregnant," she said, adding of Thicke, "He's so proud of himself, it's ridiculous."
Thicke, whose most recent album, Sex Therapy, was released last year, also spoke about the anticipation of becoming a parent in an interview with Essence.com in December. He said, "You can't have the amazing joy a child brings without work, like you can't have a great woman or man unless you put in work. I'm afraid of not being patient enough, but most of the time that's when I'm scared or worried about the future. I want to work on that. But my biggest fear is being able to be there, because I don't know if kids ever think their parents were there enough."
Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson have announced their engagement in OK! magazine.
The Welsh couple, who have been dating since 2005, have kept their relationship status a secret from the media for over a month.
Henson, 28, proposed to the singer on her 24th birthday in February. He apparently got down on one knee after taking her on a helicopter ride near their home.
"I was really emotional. I absolutely didn't expect it. It was brilliant," said the Over The Rainbow judge.
"It was perfect the way it happened - it was a lovely day, it was really awesome, the ring was perfect, he was lovely."
She added: "I think we may as well get married soon. There's no point hanging around, we'll probably have about 100 people."
Church and Henson have two children, daughter Ruby, 2, and 15-month-old son Dexter.
Congratulations to them, I hope that their relationship lasts :cheer:

Daisy Lowe is allegedly dating Matt Smith.
The underwear model was spotted walking hand in hand with the 'Doctor Who' star at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California yesterday (18.04.10).
The pair reportedly met three months ago during a night out in Camden, London.
A source said: "They hit it off immediately and the chemistry between them was obvious from the start.
"It's early days but they are already talking about moving in together. They realised it was terrible timing with his debut in 'Doctor Who', so they went to great lengths to keep it secret.
"It wasn't even planned that they would reveal the relationship at Coachella - but Daisy has missed Matt while he was on the tour and they thought, 'What the hell?' After all, the reviews are in - it can't affect the show now."
Daisy and Matt were seen getting especially cosy at the festival and spent some time hanging out with socialites Peaches and Pixie Geldof and radio DJ Nick Grimshaw.
An onlooker said: "Matt looked smitten. He was so attentive to her and she couldn't stop smiling. She was hanging on to his every word.
"It was like the pair of them were in their own little bubble together. They were inseparable."
Despite attempts to keep their relationship quiet, Daisy hinted she was romantically involved with the 27-year-old actor - who has won rave reviews for his portrayal of The Doctor in the British sci-fi series.
Writing on twitter, Daisy said: "ok i am officially madly in love with doctor who... (sic)"
Matt too has hinted he has feelings for Daisy, saying last month: "Daisy Lowe's a pretty lady, someone lovely with a good heart who enjoys the thing I enjoy."
I read that Msatt and Billie Piper were seen holding hands and being very friendly with one another :hmm:

Cameron Douglas has reportedly been sentenced to five years in jail over his role in a drug deal operation.
The son of award-winning actor Michael was present along with his mother Diandra and father in a Manhattan federal court today.
TMZ reports that the judge ordered Cameron to also pay $25,000 (£16,228) in fines and serve 450 hours of community service.
The It Runs In The Family star pleaded guilty to trafficking large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine in January, after being arrested last year.
Meanwhile, Michael's Wall Street co-star Shia LaBeouf recently called Cameron's father a "struggling man", having previously claimed that he was "on the verge of a nervous breakdown".
It sounds like Michael's not coping.
Bernie Nolan is diagnosed with breast cancer
Bernie Nolan and her sisters performed on a UK tour last year
Singer and actress Bernie Nolan has revealed she has breast cancer.
The 49-year-old member of all-sister group The Nolans was diagnosed last week and told she faces a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
She is the third Nolan sister to have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Anne and Linda Nolan both beat the disease.
Dublin-born Bernie Nolan, who played Sgt Sheelagh Murphy in The Bill, told the News of the World: "I'm going to kick this cancer's ass."
She said although it had been difficult telling her 10-year-old daughter, Erin, about the diagnosis, her daughter had also given her the strength to fight the disease.
She said: "The best thing about having a child is I have the extra strength because I want to see her grow up and I have to be strong for her."
Bernie Nolan spent 20 years singing with her sisters, who had a number of hits including I'm In The Mood For Dancing, before she moved into television.
She has appeared in Channel 4's Brookside and played Sgt Sheelagh Murphy in The Bill, as well as starring in musicals and reality TV show Pop Star to Opera Star.
Last year The Nolans, who were originally known as The Nolan Sisters, reformed for a UK tour.
i hope she makes a recovery, i have always loved the Nolans, not had an easy few years.

The actress, who has also admitted that she's filing for divorce from her husband Jesse James, said that Louis Bardo Bullock was born three and a half months ago in New Orleans.

Tweed Freedom Party halted by brawl
Thursday, April 29 2010, 16:19 BST
Jack Tweed's Freedom Party in London last night was interrupted by a fight between two of his friends.
The Celebrity Big Brother contestant was joined at Alto Members Club by showbiz pals including Chantelle Houghton, Bianca Gascoigne and ex-EastEnders actress Kara Tointon.
However, according to The Sun, the 22-year-old's celebrations were stopped when two men had an altercation, forcing security to close the doors to the venue for 15 minutes. One of the men involved, Rick Klein, left the club with a blood-stained top.
Tweed apparently left the venue at 3.30am with a blonde-haired woman who was wearing a strapless mini-dress. The party then moved on to Covent Garden's Jet Black Club.
Jade Goody's widower was cleared of raping a 19-year-old student earlier this week.
Catherine Bach's husband has been found dead in their home after reportedly having committed suicide.

Lopez was also a music attorney for the late Michael Jackson.
Bach played Daisy Duke in the long-running Duke's of Hazzard TV series.

Bones star David Boreanaz confesses to cheating on his wife of nearly nine years, Jaime Bergman, in the new issue of People. The actor, 40, tells the magazine he came forward now because a former mistress, who he declined to name, had asked for money in exchange for her continued silence. ”Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities,” Boreanaz says. “I just want to be open and honest. I was irresponsible.”
The couple, who have two children, are “working on repairing what has been damaged so badly,” Boreanaz says. Bergman also participated in the People interview.

Zoo magazine has dropped Danny Dyer's advice column following complaints earlier this week about a response to a letter, which suggested a boyfriend should "cut his ex's face".
The remark, which appeared in the actor's 'Ask Danny' piece, sparked huge criticism on social networking sites such as Twitter.
Dyer insisted that he had been "misquoted" and claimed that he would never advise a member of the public to be violent against women. Zoo's publishers Bauer Media and editor Tom Etherington also apologised for offence caused by the article and launched an internal inquiry.
A new statement on the lads' magazine's website today confirmed that Dyer's column would not be returning.
"As an immediate result of an on-going internal inquiry following an indefensible comment published in this week's issue, Zoo has decided to bring the Danny Dyer column to an end," it reads.
"By way of sincere apology and to underline that Zoo condemns any violence against women, we have made a substantial donation to Women's Aid. The space for Danny Dyer's column in next week's issue will be devoted to driving awareness to the issue of violence against women."
Zoo have done the right thing - shame on them and Danny Dyer!
Lloyd Daniels has been involved in a serious car accident. The X Factor contestant was knocked unconscious in the crash, which happened last Friday, after he dropped fellow contestant Lucie Jones off at a tube station. He also suffered whiplash, bruises and burns from his airbag.
His mother Lisa told the South Wales Echo, ‘We just thank God that it was not much worse. He's still recovering. He's got quite bad whiplash, his chest is all bruised and he was in shock. He was really upset.'
Lloyd reassured his fans on Twitter that he is feeling a lot better now, posting, 'Thanks for the support guys. I don't know how you found out but I didn't want to worry you all myself because I knew you'd panic.'
Marks & Spencer's supermodel Noemie Lenoir is recovering in hospital following an apparent suicide attempt.
The 30-year-old was reportedly found on the ground by a passer-by in a forest area on the outskirts of Paris after taking a cocktail of drugs and alcohol on Sunday.
According to Sky News, Lenoir's boyfriend, football player Claude Makélélé, initially called emergency services after finding her slumped on the floor of his Paris home. However, she apparently woke up and called to cancel the ambulance, only to leave the house to be found unconscious hours later.
The French-born model was also the face of campaigns for Next, Gap and Victoria's Secret.
She is currently recovering in hospital.
Doris Eaton Travis, the last original Ziegfeld Girl, has died at 106 years old, reports the New York Daily News.
The legendary Broadway actress joined the annual Ziegfeld Follies in 1918 at the age of 14, and returned the next year for what is considered the show's most popular edition.
Travis also performed in silent films during the 1920s prior to relocating to Michigan to open a dance studio. She ran the studio for 30 years before marrying at the age of 45 and moving to a ranch in Oklahoma.
She released her memoirs, entitled The Days We Danced, in 2004.
106 years young, what an age. RIP Doris

Gwen Stefani is reportedly pregnant with her third child.
The No Doubt singer – who already has sons Kingston, three, and 19-month-old Zuma with husband Gavin Rossdale – is said to be expecting again but is experiencing bad morning sickness.
A source told America’s OK! magazine: "Gwen is having a really rough time this pregnancy. She had all-day morning sickness for a while with Zuma, but she's sicker this time round and has been feeling exhausted and dizzy."
The 40-year-old blonde is keen to keep the pregnancy a secret for as long as possible so has been covering up her ever-expanding stomach.
At an event in New York last week, an onlooker said: “Gwen was pulling at her shirt to keep it away from her body. It seemed really strange - but then, when she turned to the side, I could see why. She definitely had a baby bump!"
Gwen recently revealed she is "running out of time" to have another child but is wary of expanding her brood.
She said: "No one could have prepared me for how awesome motherhood is, and how hard. I often feel like I'm running out of time. But I don't want to spread myself so thin that I can't be good for them.
Poor Zuma, he'd be the middle guy. "I'm not focusing on it right now, but it's not up to me anyway, you know? These things are miracles, so we'll see."
Claudia Schiffer is reportedly "doing well" after the birth of her third child at a central London hospital yesterday afternoon.
Schiffer and husband Matthew Vaughn, who recently directed Kick-Ass, married in 2002 and already have son Caspar, 7, and 5-year-old Clementine.
Schiffer confirmed in January that she was pregnant and announced in March that her then unborn child was to be a girl.
A statement from the couple read: "Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn are proud to announce the birth of their baby daughter who was born on Friday, May 14 in the early afternoon. Mother and baby are doing well."
According to PA, a spokesperson for the model said the child was born at the Portland Hospital in central London.
Congratulations to them :cheer:

Winehouse 'back in hospital'
Amy WinehouseShowbiz
WENNAmy Winehouse has reportedly been hospitalised after a heavy drinking session left her feeling unwell.
According to The Sun, the troubled singer was admitted to The London Clinic in Mayfair at the weekend - her fourth hospital visit in six months.
A source told the newspaper: "She's there because she had a load to drink and was really unwell afterwards. Not just sick, really poorly.
"But as she really likes it in there, she was happy to go in for a few days. She's spending more time in the clinic than anywhere else at the moment."
Winehouse's last hospital stint came in April after she was said to have bruised her breasts in a drunken fall.
Another earlier incident saw her seeking medical assistance after apparently experiencing agonising pains in her boobs, which she had enlarged last year.
Silly silly girl!!

Ronan Keating ends 12-year marriage
Ronan KeatingYvonne Keating
WRonan and Yvonne Keating have confirmed that they are separating after 12 years of marriage.
The Boyzone star wed Irish model Yvonne in April 1998 in Nevis. They have three children together, Jack, 11, Marie, 9, and Ali, 4.
In a statement, the couple's spokesperson said: "With great sadness, Ronan and Yvonne Keating today announce their separation.
"The separation is amicable and they will continue to work together in order to provide the best for their children. The family ask for privacy at this difficult time."
Last week, it was revealed that the pop singer would be taking up a judging role on the revamped version of the Australian X Factor.
Coleen Nolan has admitted that her marriage to Ray Fensome recently hit a "rough patch".
Writing in her column for The Mirror, the TV star confessed that she and Fensome had been in danger of drifting apart because they were so busy with their respective work commitments.
The 45-year-old explained: "Everyone knows how much I love my Ray but even our marriage isn't perfect. A few weeks ago we went through a rough patch when he was working away a lot and I was down in London filming Loose Women.
"If you are both caught up with different things for a while you can quickly start leading separate lives and lose connection with each other. With me and Ray, when we realised things weren't going well, we sat down and made some changes to ensure we were spending enough time together. And so we will continue to work at our marriage."
The former Dancing On Ice contestant made the revelation as she praised American author Laura Munson, who has released a candid book about problems she experienced in her marriage.
Nolan said: "I think being honest in these situations, like Laura was, is the key. Marriages cannot be wedding day perfect forever."
Matt Smith and Daisy Lowe have ended their relationship, according to reports.
It has been suggested that the Doctor Who actor, who only started dating the model last month, lost his appetite for the relationship.
"It's a confusing one. At first, Matt was the keen one and couldn't get enough of Daisy. But when she really got into him as well, their relationship just fizzled," a source told The Sun.
"Everyone thought they'd be together ages as they were totally into each other. But Matt's really chilled out and they mix in totally different circles. They actually don't share many common interests at all," the insider added.
It was reported last week that the pair were "smitten" with one another.
Brad Pitt has decided to embark on a political career, according to a report.
The award-winning actor will begin a long-term race for the presidency after he finishes his career in Hollywood.
"He's been interested in politics for a long time and gives back on a big level to impoverished people," a source told I Am Undercover.
"There's not much left for him to do in Hollywood. Brad feels there's a lot more for him to do in politics, especially considering the rough years the world has experienced recently.
"Angelina Jolie would love to be First Lady. Brad will run for Senate and if all goes well will mount a bid to become President in 2016," the insider added.
"He's obsessed with legalising pot. He believes it would be the biggest moneymaker since the internet."

CHARLOTTE Church and fiancé Gavin Henson are to SPLIT after five years together, the News of the World can reveal today.
The sensational break-up comes just SIX WEEKS after they announced their ENGAGEMENT in a glossy magazine buy-up.
Charlotte and Gavin in happier times
The 24-year-old Over the Rainbow judge and Wales rugby star Gavin, 28, have already agreed the details of their separation announcement.
Gavin has told friends it is over and is expected to move out of their £1.2 million home in Wales while singer Charlotte stays there with their children, Ruby, two, and one-year-old Dexter.
A source revealed that Gavin is expected to find a new place nearby so he can visit regularly. Nobody else is believed to be involved in the decision to end the relationship.
Last night an insider told the News of the World: "It is an incredibly sad state of affairs. Both Gavin and Charlotte are deeply distraught.
"But after a lot of soul-searching, they realised this is the best course of action for them and the children. It was a mutual decision.
"To the outside world they were a golden couple. The truth is, they had the same insecurities as anyone else. Charlotte is very headstrong.
"In the end, Gav found it too much. He was blaming her for his rugby career stalling. She hated him going out drinking with mates."
The source revealed that the relationship reached a crisis point when Gavin flew off to Norway in March to film celebrity reality show 71 Degrees North. "At the time Charlotte was preparing her big comeback as a judge on BBC1's Over the Rainbow. She really needed him at home," said the insider.
When he returned, rows exploded. "In the end Gav was taking refuge on their yacht in Swansea because they were quarrelling too much in front of the kids," added our source.
"Now Charlotte is throwing herself into re-launching her pop career. She is in the studio working on a new album, and will be spending a lot more time in London. And Gav just wants to get his rugby boots back on.
"One thing they do still share together is complete devotion to their two children. That won't change at all - and Gav will continue to play a very active role in their lives.
"He is devastated about the break-up, especially because of the impact on the two little ones."
Our story will stun fans of the couple, jointly worth £11million, who were looking forward to a showbiz wedding after the pair announced their engagement on April 20 in OK! magazine - despite the rows.
Henson flew Charlotte in a helicopter from their 20-acre home in Saint Brides Major, Mid Glamorgan, to the a hotel in Truro, Cornwall, to pop the question.
Then he got down on one knee and presented the Voice of an Angel singer with a two-carat, heart-shaped diamond ring for her 24th birthday on February 21.
Charlotte told the magazine how he popped the question during a walk in Truro: "He started saying, 'We've been together five years, we've had good times and hard times but it's mostly been good. I think we are meant to be together for the rest of our lives'.
"I was a bit confused. He never says anything like that. Then he went down on one knee and said, 'Will you marry me?' I was absolutely joyous. I was so pleased."
In the interview Charlotte also revealed: "I think we may as well get married soon - there's no point hanging around, we'll probably have about 100 people."
The pair were planning a quick wedding at an island retreat. And Gavin admitted he was a bag of nerves as he proposed.
He said: "I was nervous about doing the speech beforehand. It's time to get married, I want us to be a family and we have different names at the moment. Me, Ruby and Dexter are Henson and Charlotte is Church. It feels right."
Gavin also told how he softened her up for the proposal by taking her out on a drinking binge the night before.
"When she's hungover and feeling a bit sketchy she's a lot more touchy-feely and lovey so I thought she'll definitely say yes then." Of her ring, which Gavin bought during a family holiday in Dubai in January, Charlotte said: "It's just perfect.
GROWING APART: She sleeps off the booze in London bar on solo night out on May 1
GROWING APART: She sleeps off the booze in London bar on solo night out on May 1
"I'd always said I wanted a heart-shaped diamond and the boy did good. Fair do's to you, Henson."
Both said they wanted more children. "As many as possible really - at least four," said Gavin. Charlotte chipped in: "I definitely want more. I loved being pregnant."
But now it emerges that the couple were already in crisis even as they spoke and posed for magazine. A friend said: "In the pictures their smiles look really awkward. It just didn't look right."
Their five-year relationship has been rocked by repeated bust-ups. And they have grown further apart in recent months as Charlotte mounted a successful showbiz comeback by losing FOUR STONE and appearing as a judge on Andrew Lloyd Webber's BBC1 talent show.
She loved being back in the limelight - and returned to the crazy partying of her teenage years.
But signs of the distress bubbling beneath the surface emerged on May 1 when she was pictured slumped and shoeless in a bar in Shoreditch, East London, after sinking champagne on a night out without Gavin.
She was so smashed she ended up snogging a female friend and had to be supported when she left in the early hours. An onlooker said: "Charlotte arrived at 1.30am with a group of male and female pals. She was already incapable of walking and had to be held up. Her pals opened some champagne and Charlotte carried on drinking on the sofa. She was out of it. She kept snogging her female pal. It wasn't long before she took off her shoes and laid down.
"She was half-asleep and kept slipping off the sofa. After an hour she got up and wandered off.
"She was alone on the top of the stairs with her head in her hands as we were leaving.
"One of her friends pulled her downstairs, bundling her in a taxi."
On May 19, Gavin flew out to LA for a lads holiday. He is still believed to be there.
Drink has been regularly at the root of the couple's arguments. Charlotte once said: "We do argue more when we've had a drink. We have a good time and then we have a couple too many and you lose your perspective.
"It's silly but we can't drink a bottle of wine and go home at midnight. We're not really those kind of drinkers." Adding stress to the volatile chemistry between the two were Gavin's rugby problems.
The injury-plagued centre amassed 31 international rugby caps, plus one for the British and Irish Lions, before taking unpaid indefinite leave from the game more than a year ago.
He told last month how the pressures of fatherhood also played a part in his decision to step back from rugby. "I wanted to concentrate on being a good father. I thought I needed to make this work first," he said. "I hadn't even been missing rugby until lately."
Now they must sort out the aftermath of their split. Church and Henson's £11million fortune earned them 16th place on Britain's wealthiest young people section of the latest Sunday Times Rich List.
But as they had yet to marry, Henson is not entitled to any assets that are not jointly owned, according to family law expert Anne-Marie Hutchinson. She said: "As co-habitees, if they jointly own assets they would be divided as they are held - either 50-50 or whatever."
It means they will have to split the value of their home and the cost of the £800,000 eight-berth yacht they bought last year.
CHARLOTTE CHURCH and GAVIN HENSON split after she accused him of getting close to actress SUSIE AMY, a pal claimed yesterday.
The singer was furious when they became pals while trekking across Norway for new reality TV show 71 Degrees North.
Telly trek ... Susie Amy
The friend said: "Charlotte thought Gavin and Susie had become close. She wanted him at home with her while she launched her TV comeback on Over The Rainbow - and him being away put a strain on their relationship."
The mum of Footballers' Wives star Susie, 29 - who once dated Hotel Babylon star MAX BEESLEY - yesterday said there was "no link" between her and injured rugby ace Gavin, 28.
Susie's spokesman added: "She has a boyfriend and is very happy."
Gavin and Charlotte, 24 - who have had a series of rows in recent months including one at a London hotel - were in crisis talks last night.
The discussions came just six weeks after the couple announced their engagement.
Charlotte told last month how Gavin popped the question the day after her birthday in Cornwall.
She said: "He started saying, 'We've been together five years, we've had good times and hard times but it's mostly been good. I think we are meant to be together for the rest of our lives'.
"Then he went down on one knee and said, 'Will you marry me?' I was absolutely joyous. I was so pleased."
She added at the time: "I think we may as well get married soon - there's no point hanging around, we'll probably have about 100 people."
It is now thought Charlotte will keep their £1.2million mansion in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, and Gavin will live nearby so he can visit their kids Ruby, two, and Dexter, one.
But one source claimed there may be a reconciliation.
Another insider said the split had been a joint decision and added: "They're both distraught."
Charlotte, who recently lost 4st, was pictured slumped in a bar on a night out with pals in Shoreditch, East London, earlier this month. Gavin returned last week from a lads' holiday in Los Angeles.
The couple refused to comment last night and there was no answer at their family home.

Amanda Bynes says she's retiring from acting — at 24.
"If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it," she tweeted Saturday morning.
The former child star and Nickelodeon alum adds that being an actress "isn't as fun as it may seem" *— partially because she's always worked on other people's projects.
"I've never written the movies & TV shows I've been a part of I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play," she wrote. "I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first. I've retired."
Since getting her break on Nickelodeon's Figure It Out and All That at age 10, Bynes has headlined her own show, The Amanda Show, starred on the WB series What I Like About You, and racked up film credits on What a Girl Wants, She's the Man and Hairspray.
Her final (?) film will be Easy A, a Scarlett Letter-inspired comedy set for release in September.

Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in prison for violating the terms of her probation.
The actress appeared in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday to answer charges that she broke the conditions of her bail by failing to attend mandatory alcohol education classes.
Judge Marsha Revel said that she noticed multiple violations stemming from 2007, when Lohan accepted a plea bargain in her DUI case, and would not accept excuses for Lohan's lack of compliance, reports TMZ.
She ruled that the 23-year-old must surrender herself on July 20 to begin the three-month jail sentence.
Lohan broke down in tears at the verdict, telling the jury that she "did the best [she] could".

Model Danielle Lloyd has given birth to a baby boy, her spokeswoman said.
The 26-year-old and her Spurs footballer fiance Jamie O'Hara called their first child Archie O'Hara.
The baby boy was born at 2:03am on Sunday at the Portland Hospital, in London, weighing 8lb 4oz.
Lloyd's spokeswoman said that mother and baby are doing well.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star said: "He is absolutely perfect, Jamie and I are thrilled.
"We can't wait to get him home."
A few weeks ago Lloyd said she was keen for her son to meet Katie Price's three children.
She is already friendly with fellow glamour model Price, aka Jordan, and knows her three children, Harvey, eight, Junior, five, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii.
The former Miss England said: "It'll be fun to see all the kids grow up together. If Jordan has another baby soon, my little one would have the perfect playmate!"
The-Dream and Christina Milian have decided to separate, according to reports.
The couple initially married in September 2009 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas before renewing their vows in a second ceremony last December in Rome.

The separation comes just after provocative photos of Nash on holiday in the Bahamas with his assistant Melissa Santiago surfaced online.
Milian gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Violet, in February. Nash is also father to three children from his previous marriage to singer Nivea.

As one of Hollywood's most notoriously private couples, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem managed to pull off a top secret wedding, marrying earlier this month in the Bahamas.
Cruz's rep has confirmed to People that the 36-year-old Oscar winning actress married her 41-year-old beau in an intimate wedding, where the bride wore a gown designed by friend John Galliano.
The couple have been quietly dating since 2007, refusing to comment on their relationship, or even confirm it, to the press.
They first met when co-starring in Spanish film Jamon Jamon back in 1992, and have since starred side by side in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2008. The year before Bardem picked up the Best Actor statue for his role in No Country for Old Men.
Oscar-nominated actor Tony Curtis has reportedly been hospitalised following an asthma attack.
The Some Like It Hot star, who suffers from obstructive pulmonary disease, entered the hospital after an appearance near Las Vegas last week.
Curtis was debuting his new artwork products at a Costco store when he began to have breathing problems, reports TMZ.
According to sources, the 85-year-old is in a stable condition and is expected to be released soon.
Bread actress Gill Coman has passed away, aged 50.
Coman, who played Aveline in the Liverpool-based sitcom for five series, died from a suspected heart attack.
The episode involving Coman's character's wedding to vicar Oswald attracted 21 million viewers in 1988. She gave up the role of Aveline for the final two series and was replaced by Melanie Hill.
Her other TV credits included Brookside, Coronation Street, Emmerdale Farm and Boys From The Blackstuff.
Lifelong friend Jane Joseph, who is now director of St Helens Theatre Royal, told the Liverpool Echo: "She was a fantastic actress, the original Aveline. Gilly told me when she went to her first audition she dressed the part and that is how she got it, everyone fell about the place.
"As far as I am concerned, she was a person to look up to. She made her own way in the acting community and really carved her career out. Everybody used to say she created the role of Aveline, and the other actress was really just stepping into her shoes."
Bread writer Carla Lane said: "Gill was a nice girl, a good actress and she never questioned the lines I gave her. She knew how to walk to make people laugh and she knew the character better than I did."
RIP Gill :(
Wesley Snipes is facing three years in prison after losing an appeal against his conviction for tax offences.
Lawyers for the actor, whose films include the Blade trilogy, had argued the sentence was "unreasonable".
But the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta found that a three-year term in federal prison was appropriate.
In February 2008, Snipes was found guilty of deliberately failing to file tax returns for 1999, 2000 and 2001.
He earned more than $37m (£24m) in gross income between 1999 and 2004 but did not file individual federal income tax returns for any of those years, according to official court papers.
The actor, 47, was cleared of more serious fraud and conspiracy charges.
Snipes, 47, was sentenced in April 2008 and launched an appeal the following month.
He has been on bail ever since.
Snipes' lawyers had also argued that their client should have been granted a hearing to decide whether his trial should have been held in New York instead of Florida, but this was also dismissed.
In 2007, his lawyers had challenged the venue, alleging that the government had chosen Ocala County, Florida, for trial for racially discriminatory reasons.
The star's lawyer was not immediately available for comment following Friday's ruling. It is not yet known when his sentence will begin.
Snipes' other films include White Men Can't Jump, Passenger 57, Demolition Man and One Night Stand.

Inception star Tom Hardy has admitted having gay flings in the past - despite being engaged to British actress Charlotte Riley.
The 32-year-old Brit says there's a simple explanation for the sexual experimentation.
It's because he's an actor, naturally.
Asked if he has ever had sex with other men she said: "As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor ... but now that I'm in my 30s, it doesn't do it for me.
"A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities.
"A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don't feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine.
"I'd love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside.
"Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I'm not one of the boys."
Olympian-turned-TV adventurer JAMES CRACKNELL has suffered brain damage after fracturing his skull in a cycling accident last week (ends25Jul10), according to his wife.
The rower was cycling through Arizona filming a new show for the Discovery Channel when he was involved in a collision with a truck.
He is currently semi-conscious in a neuro-trauma ward and will need six months to recover from his injuries, according to his wife Beverly Turner.
She tells the Daily Telegraph, "I'd spent years worrying that James would plunge down a crevasse in some remote wilderness, but it was a road traffic accident in the U.S. that has left him with a fractured skull and damage to his brain."
Turner reveals Cracknell has had bleeding and swelling on his brain, which could cause personality and motivation issues - but she insists his prognosis is good.
She adds, "Only those closest to him may be able to tell a subtle difference."
The pair shares two children, Croyde, six, and Kiki, 16 months.
I wish him a speedy and full recovery
Scottish singer DARIUS CAMPBELL is "lucky to be alive" after breaking his neck in a "terrifying" high speed car crash.
The pop star, previously known as Darius Danesh, cracked several vertebrae in his neck in a road accident on 19 July (10) while on vacation in Marbella, Spain.
The 29 year old and his two friends all survived the crash, but he admits the incident left him fearing for his life.
He tells Scotland's Glasgow Evening Times, "It was absolutely terrifying. I thought that was going to be it. My life flashed before my eyes and I thought I was going to die.
"I don't remember the impact - it all happened so fast and I felt very dazed afterwards. The last thing I remember was being thrown forwards. Before I knew it, I had got out of the car, but I hit the ground and I couldn't feel my arms and my legs."
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and doctors suggested an operation to repair the damage, but Campbell opted instead to wear a neck brace while he recovers, fearing surgery could harm his vocal cords.
He adds, "I'm lucky to be alive. I'm feeling much better but I still have a neck brace. I hope the vertebrae heal on their own. But if that doesn't happen, they would have to operate. I want to put the op off for a few weeks and hope the damage heals."
:eek: He is lucky to be alive, hope he does not have lasting damage

They bought a pet pig together and Sir Bob is understood to have given Eli his seal of approval.
The friend said: "They are confident this is the real deal.
"They want a wedding on a New York rooftop and plan to invite about 50 friends including Quentin Tarantino. Apart from the trendy venue it will be a traditional Jewish ceremony in keeping with Eli's family faith.
"They are trying to keep it secret - I don't know if Peaches' dad knows yet."
In April Eli wrote an open letter defending Peaches after artist Ben Mills posted saucy pictures of her on the internet following a one-night stand.

"The whole incident was pretty terrifying. Russell was very shaken," a source said.
"He refused to go to A&E despite severe bruising on his arm and cuts. He’s gutted as he’d only just taken loan of the car."
Brand, who had just left the set of his new movie Arthur in New York, has been joined by his mother Barbara, who flew out from London to be with him. His fiancé Katy Perry is in Malaysia to perform at the MTV World Stage Live event.
Charlie Sheen gets rehab for wife assault
The couple have reportedly agreed to get back together since the row
US actor Charlie Sheen has been sentenced to 30 days in rehabilitation after he pleaded guilty to assault in a domestic violence case.

'Judge John Deed' star Martin Shaw collapsed in the middle of a stage performance on Wednesday.
The actor, who first found fame in the ‘70s TV show 'The Professionals', was playing a washed-up alcoholic actor in 'A Country Girl' at Shrewsbury's Severn Theatre when he started feeling unwell.
Paramedics soon arrived on the premises and the 65-year-old actor had to pull out of the performance during the first act as he was taken to hospital.
Shaw's agent Roger Charteris told the BBC that the star had a cracked ribbed and was also taking antibiotics to treat a severe chest infection.
Charteris added that he only decided to go ahead with the performance that night because "he didn't want to let his fans down."
A member of the audience told The Sun: "One minute he was acting, then he was a mumbling mess. After a 20-minute interval he was replaced by his understudy."
Martin Shaw recently starred as the main character in crime drama 'Inspector George Gently'.

Mel B has split from her film producer husband Stephen Belafonte, it has been revealed.
Belafonte, who married the former Spice Girl in 2007, is said to be talking to lawyers in LA about a divorce.
He told The Mirror: \"Dude, it's over. Mel's coming back to the UK soon - but I won’t be coming with her. There's been problems lately. I don't know what's happening.\"
A friend of the singer said: \"They've not been happy for a long time and there's been rowing. Mel's been talking about getting out. They're still talking to see if things can be worked out.
\"But she's making plans to come back to the UK on a more permanent basis. Stephen hasn't been mentioned as joining her and has been consulting lawyers.
\"Part of the problem is jealousy. They are both livid when the other one gets attention from another person. They constantly want to know where the other one is. It's been an ongoing problem right from the start.\"
The couple both have children from previous relationships.
They thought it was all over... but it isn't now! Mel B and husband Stephen Belafonte have kissed and made up after one of the shortest splits in celebrity-land.
Just 72 hours after calling time on their three-year marriage, the couple had a change of heart. They thought twice after an, er, Spicy session - or three - in the bedroom. We can't keep up... clearly not a problem film producer Stephen has.
Our insider reveals: "Mel and Steve had an almighty row last week concerning a problematic family member.
"For about 24 hours, it was over between then. But they remained in contact and went out for lunch for a heart to heart, where everything pretty much got sorted.
"It's not all a bed of roses at the minute, but they want to make a go of it.
"That said, they went out on Saturday night to let their hair down and let off steam.
"They ended up going home early, with Stephen telling a friend yesterday: "We did it three times... I'd say we are back on track!" So would we.
Mel and Stephen, both 35, dressed up to the nines for their night out at West Hollywood's trendy Voyeur bar.
Necking champers and lemon drop cocktails, the pair spent much of the evening kissing before returning to their £6million mansion for a night of passion.
Of course, their reconciliation couldn't have happened at a better time.
The shy and retiring couple - who once revealed they enjoyed nookie five times a day - are about to start promoting their new Stateside reality show, The Mel B project. In the series, aired by the US Style network, viewers will see them playing happy families with their kids.
Our source adds: "Mel and Stephen are a fiery couple. It's what makes them tick.
"But they resolved the argument the best way they know how - in the bedroom.
"Whether they'll make it long-term, it's a case of watch this space. They're not going to make any drastic decisions while the series is still to run."

Michael Douglas said on Tuesday he felt optimistic about recovering from throat cancer but drew gasps when he told a television audience he had the most advanced stage.
The 65-year-old "Wall Street" actor told TV talk-show host David Letterman that a biopsy indicated that his cancer was at stage IV, which he described as "intense, and so they've got to go at it ..."
Letterman asked whether stage IV was a good diagnosis.
"Um no," Douglas replied, according to a transcript provided by CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman."
Stage IV cancer has spread far beyond the original tumour and is usually impossible to cure.
"No, you like to be down at stage I ... but it has not -- the big thing you're always worried about is it spreading ... and the expectations are good ...
"The percentages are very good," Douglas added. "I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 percent, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve."
According to the National Cancer Institute, patients with stage IV head and neck caner usually undergo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
Douglas told Letterman that his cancer was caused by his drinking and smoking.
He said his throat had been bothering him for a while, and a multitude of doctors put him through a battery of tests in the early summer, but had found nothing.
After a summer break, he underwent a biopsy, which revealed his advanced cancer.
He expressed frustration with the doctors who could not find anything, "because I was on it early in the summer and started complaining about something, but they couldn't see it then."
Douglas is married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom he has two children, Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7.
Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was returned to the hospital after slipping into unconsciousness on Tuesday following a series of health-related setbacks since breaking her hip in July.
Gabor, 93, was in "a great deal of pain" Tuesday morning and her husband, Frederick Prinz von Anhalt, found her to be "not responsive," her spokesman, John Blanchette, told Reuters.
Von Anhalt called an ambulance to take his wife to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre, where doctors were able to stabilise her condition. No further details were available.
Earlier in August, Gabor was given last rites by a priest at the same hospital.
At that time, doctors wanted to perform surgery on her liver that would give her a 50-50 chance of survival, but the couple decided "she wanted to spend her final days at home," according to Blanchette. She returned to her Bel Air mansion in mid-August.
The Hungarian-born Gabor, whose string of movies, television shows and wealthy husbands dates to the 1950s, broke her hip on July 17 when she fell out of bed while watching the TV game show "Jeopardy." She had surgery to replace the hip two days later.
She has appeared in more than 30 movies, and her penchant for calling everyone "dah-ling" in her Hungarian accent made her a well-known Hollywood personality.
Along with her two glamorous sisters Eva and Magda, Gabor made several appearances on radio and television shows in the 1950s and 1960s. She appeared in the movie "Moulin Rouge," followed by "Lili" and later "Touch of Evil."
Gabor and von Anhalt have been married for 24 years. Before him, she was married eight times to a string of husbands that included a Turkish diplomat and the hotel magnate Conrad Hilton.

The veteran Liberal Democrat politician Sir Cyril Smith has died at the age of 82, the party has confirmed.
Sir Cyril represented the constituency of Rochdale as an MP, both for the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats, for 20 years.
He was one of the party's most recognisable and high-profile figures, retiring from Parliament in 1992.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said Sir Cyril was a "larger-than-life" character who would be missed.
Sir Cyril was chief whip during Jeremy Thorpe's turbulent leadership of the party in the 1970s.
A Lib Dem spokesman said Sir Cyril had been ill for many months and had died on Friday morning, with members of his family by his bedside.
Fiercely independent and blunt-speaking, Sir Cyril frequently clashed with his party over issues such as capital punishment, nuclear weapons and abortion.
He was sceptical about the party's merger with the SDP in the 1980s as well as its pact with Labour in the 1970s which kept Jim Callaghan's government in office.
He was a Labour supporter in his youth, defecting to the Liberals after serving as mayor of his birthplace, Rochdale.
After winning a by-election in 1972, he went on to play a key role in holding the party together during the 1970s amid allegations about Mr Thorpe's private life, which subsequently led the leader to resign.

Sir Cyril was made an MBE for his public services in 1966 and was knighted in 1988.
His brother Norman told the Press Association news agency: "Cyril passed away peacefully this morning with members of his family around him. I couldn't have asked for a better brother."
Deputy Prime Minister Mr Clegg said he was saddened to hear of the death of the "true Liberal" who was a friend to "everybody in Rochdale".
He said: "Cyril Smith was a larger-than-life character and one of the most recognisable and likeable politicians of his day."
He added: "Cyril was a colourful politician who kept the flame of Liberalism alive when the party was much smaller than it is today.
"Rochdale and Britain have sadly lost one of their great MPs, and I think we can safely say there will never be an MP quite like Cyril Smith again."
Former Lib Dem MP Paul Rowen, who lost his Rochdale seat to Labour at the election, said Sir Cyril would be sadly missed by people in the town and across the country.
"He has been a truly amazing ambassador for our town," he said. "He was towering figure for our party and led us through difficult times."
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Steel of Aikwood said Sir Cyril was a pioneer who served the party "diligently".
"Cyril was first and foremost Mr Rochdale," he said.
"His by-election picked up the Liberal Party from the disastrous 1970 election when we had only six seats, and started our recovery.
"His was also our first breakthrough in the industrial north of England."

RIP Cyril Smith
A ROCK star has been killed by a 50-stone bale of hay rolling down a hill.
Electric Light Orchestra cellist Mike Edwards, 62,was killed after the giant bale careered through a field and over a hedge, landing on top of his van.
It is thought to have rolled then gathered pace before flying 15ft through the air and into the path of traffic on Friday.
Police were yesterday interviewing the farmer who owns the Devon field.
Steve Walker, of the Devon and Cornwall police traffic unit, said: “This was a tragic accident and we have now identified the victim as Michael Edwards, a founder member of ELO.”
The police said Edwards, of Totnes, Devon, had no immediate family so they were making an appeal for any relatives.
ELO had hits with Roll Over Beethoven and Don’t Bring Me Down.
His eccentric playing included plucking the strings with a grapefruit.
He quit to become a Buddhist and changed his name to Deva Pramada.
“We have used photographs and YouTube footage to identify him but we now need help contacting his family for formal identification.
“We don’t believe he was ever married and we have identified an ex girlfriend but she is currently abroad.
“We think he may have a brother called David in the Yorkshire area and we obviously need to contact him.
“Michael has no immediate family but we believe he may have taught some cello in Devon and would ask his students to contact us if they know of any relations.”
What a tragic accident, RIP Michael

Rich Cronin, the lead singer and founder of the late-1990s boy band LFO, has passed away after a long battle with leukemia, according to reports from TMZ and E! News. He was 35. LFO, or the Lyte Funky Ones, were best known for the 1999 beach-y hit “Summer Girls,” which included the renown of-the-moment lyric penned by Cronin, “I like girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch.” The video for their follow-up, “Girls on TV,” featured Cronin’s then-girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt. The band split in 2002. In 2005, Cronin was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. Two years later, his cancer in remission, Cronin — along with former boy banders Jeff Timmons (of 98 Degrees), Bryan Abrams (of Color Me Badd), and Chris Kirkpatrick (of ’N Sync) — starred in the VH1 reality series Mission: Man Band, about the quartet’s struggle to start up a new band.
Kirkpatrick updated his Facebook profile today with the message “RIP to a great friend Rich C.” Lance Bass also posted to Twitter with the message, ”Sad sad day that Rich Cronin died – was an amazing guy.”
In 2006, Cronin, looking back on his career, told EW, “I am truly thankful for the success I had. And if it happens again, that’d be really nice. I’m just that same guy writing pop songs to make people happy. And I still only like girls in Abercrombie & Fitch.”
:( RIP

Oscar-nominated actor Kevin McCarthy, known for his roles in Death of a Salesman and Invasion of the Body Snatchers died Saturday in Hyannis, Mass., according to the New York Times. He was 96 years old, and no cause of death was immediately reported. McCarthy first portrayed Biff in the 1949 London stage version of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman before scoring an Oscar nod for doing the role in the 1951 film version. His most remembered part, however, was s Mile Bennell, a doctor in cult sci-fi flick Invasion of the Body Snatchers who tries to escape the movie’s infamous “podification” alongside a divorcée played by Dana Wynter. The film had a humble, low-budget B movie beginning, but went on to be selected for the National Film Registry in 1994, and the American Film Institute named it one of the Top 10 science fiction films of all time in 2008.
