claire_louise Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 All I can say is, why?! Wanadoo Entertainment News, April 12th The Oz Factor TV bosses have gone Down Under to snap up two of Australia’s sexiest stars for their sizzling summer reality shows. Melissa George, who played tearaway Angel Brooks in Home and Away, has just been recruited to Celebrity Love Island. Producers are hoping the Aussie, who has her own line of lingerie and is making a name for herself in Hollywood - she's recently starred in The Amityville Horror and Derailed - will add some glamour to the show when it returns in June. But she faces hot competition in the shape of former EastEnder Pooja Shah, model Sophie Anderton and actress Emma Noble. Meanwhile, ITV bosses have nabbed hunky Daniel MacPherson, who starred as Neighbours’ Joel Samuels, for Celebrity X Factor after seeing him presenting the Australian version of the show. The multi-talented star, who appeared in The Bill as PC Cameron Tait, reveals: “I play the guitar and sing and I’ve even contemplated a pop career – but that would be selling out.” The star-studded talent show, which kicks off next month, will also feature TV magician Paul Daniels and former Hollyoaks actress Jodi Albert, who’s likely to be coached by her husband-to-be Kian Egan of Westlife.

Guevara01 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Talent show? Celebrity Love Island?? They have got to be kidding surely. Melissa can't be doing that well in Hollywood if she has to resort to a reality show that begins "Celebrity". xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katya Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I thought you had to be single to go on Celebrity Love Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmarshall858 Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well unless i read it wrong Daniel is not appearing on celebrity love island but presenting X factor the celeb version or actually after reading it again he might be a contestant on it - but from reading the title i thought both Melissa and Daniel were appearing on love island so i can see where you were coming from. I wouldn't have thought Melissa George would stoop to a reality show i must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daria_103 Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks for the article, It's a bit weird, I would have thought Melissa George is doing well enough in Hollywood to not need to go on a reality show especially Love Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_girl Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well that should be interesting to watch wont it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_louise Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Sorry, the title is probably a bit misleading. From the way I read it, Daniel is a contestant on celeb X Factor. The part I was most surprised about was Melissa George. Obviously she isn't the most famous actress in Hollywood but I thought she was doing pretty well considering. If you read her profile on IMDB it's surprising how many well known films she's been in. She has 3 more films coming up and she's in the new show by the writer of Sex and the City. Also I thought she was married? Or did they split up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalia Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 She's married with a stepdaughter and apparently contemplating having some of her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_louise Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Ok, in that case they must have got this wrong somewhere. You have to be single to go on Celebrity Love Island. Wanadoo is usual very reliable though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
