French/Finnish duo The Dø are Olivia, the O in The Dø and Dan is the D. Technically accomplished and full of rich orchestration and electronic flourishes, The Dø manage to keep a lightness of touch and an instant pop appeal, no doubt thanks to Olivia’s bewitching vocals and song-writing skills.
Oliveia veers from the primal, invoking the spectres of Fever Ray and Bjork with the percussion led ‘Slippery Slope’. Expect to be hearing a lot more of the pair as the year goes on.
Former Hollyoaks babe Emma Rigby spoke to TV buzz about her new role in the new TV series, Prisoners’ Wives.
Emma plays a pregnant wife who is in prison: “The costume department kept stuffing sponges into the suit to make me look bigger, and when I sent a photo of myself to a friend, they were like: ‘My God, you look terrible.’ I couldn’t disagree!”
She explained, “I’m not maternal anyway, but this has put me off having kids for life.”
Emma told TV buzz how she really got into her role: “I visited a real-life jail in preparation for the role, and it broke my heart to see prisoners and their loved ones being separated from each other at the end of visiting times.”
Emma is keen to ensure she makes a name for herself as an actress rather than a celebrity so she’s coy when TV buzz quizzes her on reports that she’s dating 23 year old JLS heart-throb Aston Merrygold.
Alison King has filmed one of Corrie’s most explosive storylines about sexual assault; she revealed to TV buzz how she felt when filming these scenes.
She said, “You really feel the pressure to play it right for all those people who have been in that situation.”
Alison explained, “We went to St Mary’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Manchester, where a lovely lady called Bernie helped me through every stage.”
She has become very close to her on screen ex –fiancé Frank Foster [Andrew Lancel] “I call him my very own Stephen Fry as he’s full of trivia. I’ll tell him: ‘You’re boring me with all these facts! Will you shut up now?’
But we’ve got chemistry that can be hard to find in this business. Andrew keeps me alive – he keeps me going.”
Alison also revealed, “I love working with Chris Gascoyne [Peter Barlow] so much. It’s like working with your grandad. Honestly, he gets older by the day, but I know I’m going to have to give him back to Jane Danson [Leanne] at some point because she misses him dearly.”
Alison also told TV buzz, “It’s really hard to watch yourself. I don’t think as an actress you ever go: ‘That was brilliant’ – you always just cringe!” So what does the future hold for the actress?
TV buzz joined Got To Dance judge Kimberly Wyatt on set where she revealed: “It takes me two hours to get ready for the live shows. But I still have wardrobe malfunctions – last year I was wearing crazy heels and nearly fell on my face.”
She explained to TV buzz, “Bouncers walk me back to my dressing room, otherwise I’d worry about stage parents coming to get me! When you’ve got an act with lots of supporters and they boo you, it’s hard to deal with.”
The Pussycat Doll has been teaching the other judges Adam [Garcia] and Ashley [Banjo] a few her own dance moves: “They can’t do my signature high-kick yet but let me tell you, the fierce girlie walking – they’ve got that down…” TV Buzz Magazine from The SUN facebook.com/TVbuzzmag
