They may have come from two very different soaps, but Hollyoaks star Roxanne McKee and The Bill actress Louisa Lytton had plenty to talk about as they holiday in Spain.

Attending a champagne party at the exclusive Ocean Club in Marbella, the bikini-clad actresses were centre of attention as they larked around in the pool together.

Despite the warm 29 degrees temperature, the water must have been freezing given Roxanne's horrified expression as she took a dip in the pool.

While Roxanne, 28, had a healthy golden tan as she stripped off her black playsuit to reveal a brown and white floral bikini, she couldn't compete with bronzed Louisa, who has enjoyed three beach holidays already this year.

Babyfaced Louisa, 20, showed off her slender figure and mahogany tan in a fluffy blue bikini.

Her trip to the Costa del Sol comes after a holiday to the Caribbean in April and Dubai in February.

In between her vacations, Louisa has managed to squeeze in filming her role in the upcoming American Pie sequel Book of Love in Canada.
Ex-EastEnders star Louisa left The Bill in March after two years of playing rookie PC Beth Green.

Currently holidaying with her boyfriend, nightclub promoter Gary Sewell, Roxanne has been enjoying a few months off since leaving Hollyoaks last December.

Her character Louise Summers was murdered by husband-to-be Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) in an explosive Christmas episode.

Attending the British Soap Awards earlier this month, Roxanne admitted she had just been enjoying not getting up every morning for long filming hours on the soap.

After taking several months off, she is now auditioning again and is hoping to start a Hollywood career.

She said: 'I'm just taking it easy. I'm auditioning at the moment so I'm quite excited about what the future holds. I'd like to do a period drama.

'It's lovely (doing nothing), but I've got to start working soon and stop holidaying.'

Danielle Lloyd leaves hospital following emergency surgery after 'unprovoked nightclub attack'


Danielle Lloyd left hospital today after undergoing emergency surgery following an alleged attack by two women in a nightclub brawl early on Bank Holiday Monday.

Her consultant at the private Wellington Hospital in north London said the 25-year-old was 'very lucky' not be permanently paralysed in the attack and would need months of intense physiotherapy to recover.

The 25-year-old model looked pained as she hobbled out of hospital on crutches supported by her boyfriend, Spurs footballer Jamie O'Hara.

Danielle was pictured lying sprawled on the pavement outside, shoeless and bloodied after the incident in Crystal nightclub.

Female friends gathered around her were also flecked with blood. Miss Lloyd, who had smiled happily for photographers as she arrived at the club in central London, is said to have been thrown on to a table of drinks.

She had 20 stitches to a wound in her back at accident and emergency immediately following the incident, then was transferred to the private hospital where she underwent emergency surgery.

Her consultant, Mr Elliot Sorene said today: 'Whilst the whole experience for Miss Lloyd was exceptionally unfortunate, she is very lucky that the major blood vessels and archeries were not involved, otherwise she would have been left permanently paralysed.

'I have advised Miss Lloyd to rest at home for two weeks, before embarking on several months of intense physiotherapy. Miss Lloyd acted very ladylike throughout the whole unpleasant and harrowing episode'.

As she left the hospital Danielle sported bandages on both hands and her ankle as she got into a waiting car. Blood from her leg injury oozed through her trousers as she was helped into the car by Jamie, 22.

It is the second time in a month that the reality television star has been assaulted on a night out.

A spokesman for Miss Lloyd said: 'Danielle had been socialising with six friends, including her boyfriend Jamie O'Hara, when the unprovoked attack occurred at around 2.30am. Danielle was thrown on to a table of drinks by two females.

'An ambulance was called and Mr O'Hara awaited its arrival outside before travelling with Miss Lloyd to the hospital.'

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that two women had been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and bailed until a date in July.

At the beginning of the month, Miss Lloyd, who has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, said she suffered a cut lip in a bar fracas with friends of O'Hara's ex-girlfriend, Sade Metcalfe.

Miss Lloyd claimed one of the group hit her in the face as she turned to leave Funkymojoe bar in South Woodford, north-east London.

At the time, police confirmed officers were investigating reports of an assault at the venue.

Miss Lloyd shot to fame when she was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title in 2006 after it was revealed she was having a relationship with one of the judges, footballer Teddy Sheringham, at the time of the final.

Since dating Sheringham, she has been linked to a string of other footballers including Marcus Bent, who played for Charlton Athletic at the time, and Spurs striker Jermain Defoe.

Lloyd was invited to join the cast of Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.

While in the house she became embroiled in a racism row which saw her being accused of bullying Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty along with Jade Goody and former pop star Jo O'Meara.

She recently revealed that as a young woman she had been the victim of domestic violence.

At the age of 16, Lloyd began modelling, frequently entering competitions in and around Liverpool.

Upon finishing school, she decided to pursue a dual career in modelling and as a beautician specialising in massage. She is a qualified nail technician.

Just as she was beginning her modelling career, Lloyd was brutally attacked by her boyfriend of the time.

She was dragged from her moving car after an argument with him, suffering severe bruising to her body and losing most of her hair. Lloyd spoke out to raise awareness of domestic abuse.

Hard-nosed Apprentice star Debra shows her feminine side in racy glamour shoot


She's the outspoken saleswoman who appears determined to stop at nothing to get a job with Sir Alan Sugar.

But Apprentice contestant Debra Barr seems to have had rather different ambitions in the past, if pictures of her in a glamour shoot are anything to go by.

Photographs taken four years ago show the hard-nosed hopeful showing off her body in a series of lingerie sets.

Model ambition: Photographs taken four years ago show Apprentice contestant Debra Barr sporting bikini and lingerie sets in a glamour shoot

Gazing seductively at the camera, she reclines in a baby blue string bikini in one shot.

In another she wears a feminine lacy pink set, and a third photo shows her in a black satin basque and g-string.

Her figure, normally hidden from viewers by stiff business suits, looks impressively toned in the pictures.

A photographer who met Debra, now 24, four years ago told Heat magazine: '[She] was desperate to become a model. The pics she wanted were cheeky pin-ups - she wasn't interested in the casual looks for catalogues.'

She even had a boob job to boost her from an A to a D cup.

Fans of The Apprentice have seen the senior sales consultant have a series of run-ins with many people on the show.

In last week's episode she found herself in the boardroom after her team failed in the task to choose and sell products at a baby show.

Debra championed an expensive rocking horse as one of her team's two items and, although she came close to a sale, did not manage to shift any of the pricey toys.

Sir Alan Sugar discussed Debra with his aides Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford, concluding that 'she is very overpowering - she never listens and gets the wrong end of the stick'.

But she was spared the chop, with 22-year-old Ben Clarke getting the sack instead.

Although her apparent ruthlessness has come in for criticism, Debra has her admirers too.

Nick Hewer said of her: 'She lacks emotional intelligence and always looks like she wants a fight.

'But I kind of admire her. She's just a young woman with too much testosterone.'

In her own words, Debra says on the official Apprentice website: 'When I set my sights on something I have to make sure I get it.

'I am very cautious and only let the people that I can trust see the softer side of me'

Jessica Biel complains good looks in acting 'are a problem' (not for Scarlett Johansson they're not)


Actress Jessica Biel has so far had a less than stellar acting career, and wisely admits she 'still has lot to do'.

But she complains that her good looks are proving to be 'a problem' when it comes to getting the meatier roles offered to contemporaries Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson.

Strike a pose: Jessica seen behind the scenes at the photoshoot for her Allure cover

Jessica is best known for her work in film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Illusionist, and more recently the straight to video film Powder Blue.

She says she would welcome more dramatic roles - of the type that has gone to such peers as Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johannson.

In an interview with Allure magazine, she says: 'I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me.

'But if you don't even want to see me – that's hurtful."

And she said she believed her good looks often prove a drawback when it comes to casting.

'It really is a problem,' she says. 'I have to be blunt.'

But unlike other Hollywood starlets who rush to shed their clothes onscreen, Jessica is also keenly aware of her body.

Drama: Jessica has said she would like meatier roles like those given to Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman

For a time, she demanded a no-nudity clause in her contracts – and would also have final word on her body double.
'That was a weird experience,' she says.

'I tried to get breasts that I thought were most similar to mine. I mean, we're not dealing with a whole lot going on here. I didn't want anyone who was ridiculously big.'

However, the fitness fanatic who is fast gaining a following for her fit figure as well as her acting conceded: 'But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? Okay, I did want that.'

Jessica, who is dating singer Justin Timberlake remains fairly tight-lipped about their relationship.

However, she said marriage is way off the mark for the couple who recently settled into a New York apartment so Jessica can explore working in the theatre.

The self-described 'very ambitious' actress says her feelings for Timberlake are strong. 'You love who you love', she says.

The full interview is in the June issue of Allure.

What a cliché: Lily Allen reveals her hellraising band threw a TV out of a hotel window

Hellraiser: Lily Allen had been performing in Paris when her band decided to trash a hotel room

Lily Allen has been raising more hell on her tour.

After we revealed she wrecked her dressing room at a Canadian venue by having an ice-cream fight, now she has boasted that her backing band trashed a hotel room in Paris.

Lily was keen to distance herself from the boozy bedlam, which included the all-time rock’n’roll cliché of throwing a TV set out of the hotel window.

It’s just a shame there wasn’t a Rolls-Royce handy to drive into the swimming pool.

The singer, 24, is currently taking a week’s break from her tour with a safari trip to South Africa.

She was in Paris earlier this month, and said in a 95.8 Capital FM interview that the trashing took place during a day off.

She was keen to stress that she wasn’t present at the time, saying: 'They did a pretty good job of one [hotel room] in Paris. TVs out of the window and everything, but I wasn’t there. I wasn’t involved.

'I was in a different hotel. It was a day off. When I have a day off and you’re in a European city the band tends to be a write off. I didn’t see them for that whole day, I didn’t want to.

'They sounded like they were in a state.'

Luckily for Lily, who was staying at the luxury Hotel de Crillon, she spent the day shopping.

Otherwise she could have been facing another bill for repairs after her little
ice-cream outburst in Canada last month.

She was made to hand over £1,100 after the food fight at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.

Lil has been thrilling her followers on Twitter with updates of her safari trip in South Africa.

The star said she had bought a “f*** off camera” and has been posting images of the various animals she’s coming across.

After her break she’s off to Asia. She added: 'I’ve been all over Europe and America, then I am doing the festivals over the summer - it’s going to be a big summer.'

Cannes 2009: Penelope Cruz bounces back from food poisoning to shine at festival


Just hours earlier, Penelope Cruz was lying in bed sick with food poisoning.

But after a day spent resting and a dose of medication, she managed to get her glow back and host a party at Cannes.

The 35-year-old Oscar winner had to pull out of an appearance at a trailer screening of her movie Nine on Monday afternoon when she was struck down with a tummy bug.

The Spanish brunette looked stunning in a floor-length white gown with plunging neckline and matching jacket.

She spent just 30 minutes at the party, which was sponsored by Akvinta vodka and aimed to raise money for her friend Bono's (Red) Aids charity.

'The priority is to get better for (Tuesday) night. No one wants to lose their Cannes moment.

'She was so disappointed because she wanted to enjoy the festival. Now she's stuck in bed.'

After a good night's sleep last night, Penelope looked in better spirits as she attended a photocall to promote her new movie Broken Embraces today.

Well again: Penelope looked stunning in bandeau dress and Christian Louboutin heels at a photocall for new movie Broken Embraces at Cannes on Tuesday

Although she looked gorgeous in a nude-coloured bandeau dress, her illness had taken a toll and she appeared weary in between summoning up smiles for the photographers.

Penelope joined director Pedro Almodovar and co-star Llius Homar at a conference to promote Broken Embraces (Los Abrazos Rotos), which will premiere tonight at the Palais de Festivals.

Speaking today, Penelope explained she had had a tough travelling schedule over recent weeks which may have contributed to her illness.

She said: 'It's probably something I ate but I'm not certain what set it off.'
