Tussle: Sam Faiers and Joey Essex wrestle after partying all day at the Ocean Club in Marbella


They've barely been able to keep their hands off each other during their break in Marbella.

But The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers and Joey Essex were getting physical for another reason yesterday as they stumbled back to their hotel after partying all day at the Ocean Club.

The reality TV couple got into an argument as they left the party worse for wear, according to witnesses.

After exchanging cross words the couple got into a tussle, with glamour model Sam pulling at her boyfriend's beloved barnet.


Holiday blues: the pair are returning to England today after a week spent in Spain


After their very public necking session the couple enjoyed a Shisha pipe before finally heading back to the hotel.

They were earlier spotted arriving at the Ocean Club, where they drank and danced with friends - their typical day's activity for much of the trip.

Sam, who recently opened up a clothing boutique in Brentwood with her sister Billie, wore a black and white frilled one-piece swimsuit.

She and her co-stars including Amy Childs, Lydia Bright and Lucy Mecklenburgh have been parading about Marbella in a series of bright and skimpy outfits during their stay.

The holiday is finally at an end though, with Sam and Joey flying back to the UK today.

They have spent their last day in Spain with Sam's nanny, after a week of raucous partying.


Party with the girls: Sam took a break from her man to dance with her friends at the Ocean Club party


Sam told her followers on Twitter today: 'Last day sunbathing in Spain :-( with nanny! Then home tonight! X x x'

'Home today. On way to @SamanthaFaiers nannys house 2 have a nice day round the pool.Then airport later! Had 12 hours sleep last nite,' Joey added.

The holiday hasn't been all positive - Joey was robbed mid-week when thieves broke into his hotel room.


Get a room: Joey and Sam couldn't keep their hands off each other during water sports earlier in the week


Among the items stolen were his beloved Hermes belt, orange Ugg boots and £10,000 in cash.

The reality star believes he was targeted by thugs who recognised him from television, according to the Sun.

But the fashion-concious club promoter was bereft for long - his helpful manager flew out to Spain in order to deliver more clothes.

Girls' day out: Paris Jackson enjoys a shopping trip to the mall in Calabasas, Los Angeles, with a friend


With two brothers, Paris Jackson spends most of her time surrounded by the opposite sex.

But it looks like the 13-year-old finally got some 'girl time' as she headed to a mall with a young friend.

The brunette hit the shops in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas as she enjoyed the long Memorial Day weekend.


Just a regular teen: Despite her upbringing, Paris looked like a normal teenager hanging at the mall


The tomboy daughter of the late Michael Jackson appeared to be enjoying some time away from her brothers Prince, 14, and Blanket, nine.

Of course, walking around a mall freely is something Paris wasn't able to do when her father was alive.

Paris and her siblings used to wear masks or headscarves to cover their face when out and about with their famous father, who died in June 2009.


Hidden: Paris (left) and her brother Prince used to wear veils when their father was alive


Since moving in with their grandmother Katherine Jackson, the Jackson children no longer have to cover their faces and have more freedom.

They have signed up for a host of after-school activities, including acting classes and karate.

Although some of the children has expressed a wish to become famous like their father, the Jackson family are making sure they have as normal a childhood as possible.

However, Katherine, 80, and their aunt La Toya, 54, who is closely involved in their upbringing, want them to get an education before any attempt to launch themselves fully into the public eye.


Blue-eyed girl: Paris is growing up a pretty young woman


La Toya said in March: ‘They have gone to school and they really like it, so I’m very happy for them. It’s taught them something totally different about people and life.'

Earlier this month, the siblings were spotted on a playdate with Will Smith's children Jaden and Willow.

Open neck: Simon Cowell - baring his hairy chest - returned to Britain's Got Talent last night but made no mention of the Cheryl Cole controversy


Only a month ago Simon Cowell told the world Cheryl Cole was ‘special’.

Last night, however, the TV mogul and the pop star were at war – through their ‘people’ – amid claims her advisers demanded £2.5million for her to return to the UK X Factor after her shock axing from the U.S. version of the show.

It came after ITV issued a statement confirming that the Girls Aloud star will not feature in its judging panel for the TV talent contest.


Holed up: Cheryl has not been seen since returning from America


Cowell himself has remained unusually silent on the issue – other than a subtle reference on last night’s Britain’s Got Talent, where he also raised eyebrows by arriving for a turn as guest judge in a suit and unbuttoned shirt which bared his hairy chest.

But according to senior sources at both his production company Syco, and ITV, associates of Mrs Cole believed to be led by pop star William Adams – known as Will.i.am and who became her manager a month ago – wanted the broadcaster to agree to the huge fee.


Happier times: Cheryl and Simon smile together on the judging panel of the X Factor in December 2009


The friend said: ‘Will.i.am doesn’t want her to have anything to do with Cowell anymore. Cowell thought she would come running back and take the UK job – but why would she when she’s been hung out to dry in the U.S..’

Since her humiliating sacking, Mrs Cole has been uncontactable – with sources suggesting she did not even know of the demands allegedly being made on her behalf.

She has refused to take telephone calls from TV executives, including Cowell.


Allies: Cheryl with her new manager Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas who is believed to have demanded the huge fee for her to return to X Factor


Within hours, it was confirmed that Tulisa Contostavlos – from pop band N-Dubz – was joining the show alongside Louis Walsh, U.S. pop star Kelly Rowland and Take That singer Gary Barlow.

An X Factor source revealed: ‘There was a Plan A we already had which we’re happy with and is a great team. It got to a point with Cheryl where we had to move on.


New panel: Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland will join Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh on the judging panel


That public statement also signalled the end of Cowell and Mrs Cole’s professional relationship, which began when she joined the X Factor in 2008.

Even a month ago, he said of Mrs Cole: ‘She’s got a great ability to communicate. She’s a great judge. She’s smart. You meet someone special a few times in your life and this girl is special.’

Within days of that comment, Mrs Cole had surprisingly axed Hilary Shaw – her manager since 2005 – to hand control to Mr Adams, who has found worldwide fame with the Black Eyed Peas.

Standing out: Lady Gaga arrived at a Starbucks in Los Angeles today wearing a customary outrageous outfit


Naturally, a stop at a coffee shop demands nothing short of full on costume for Lady Gaga.

The 25-year-old singer turned heads as she paid a visit to a local Starbucks in Los Angeles today, clad in a customary outlandish outfit.

Never one to miss an opportunity for self-promotion, the star was wearing a Born This Way T-shirt - which also acted as a kind of skirt.


Walking tall: The singer, who stormed to to the top of the UK album charts yesterday, wore fishnets and sky high Christian Louboutin heels


She completed the look with sky high Christian Louboutin heels, black fishnet tights, a gold studded jacket and a standout red hat.

The singer has currently on a promotional blitz promoting her new album, which rocketed to the top of the UK charts yesterday selling more copies than the rest of the Top 10 put together.

With more than 215,000 records sold in the first week, her gravity-defying second album was the biggest mover for an album so far this year, the Official Charts Company said.


Standing out: She topped off the look with a Lady Gaga Born This Way T-shirt, sunglasses and a gold studded jacket


Famed for her eye-catching, sometimes outrageous, outfits, she said: 'I feel so honoured to have the highest first week sales in the UK this year.

'I wrote the album's first single Born This Way in Manchester because I was so inspired by the confidence and bravery characteristic of my fans: Little Monsters,' she said.

Meanwhile, in the States, the star is poised to sell over one million copies of the LP in it opening week, Billboard has predicted.

She was initially set to move around 800,000 copies, but an Amazon offer that saw it sold for 99cents for two days has helped to send it over the 1.15m mark.

Beachside glamour: Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri Cruise stepped out in heels today for a Memorial Day beach party in Malibu


They may have been relaxing beachside, but that still didn't stop Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise from putting their best foot forward.

The mother and daughter duo both wore high heels as they attended a Memorial Day beach party in Malibu, today.

The five-year-old toddler slipped her tiny feet into some gold strappy platforms, while her 32-year-old mother opted for some charcoal kitten-heels as they took to the sand for some seaside fun.

Suri paired her grown-up shoes with a pretty pink floral skirt and a white long-sleeved top, and wore her chocolate locks out and loose around her shoulders.

Her mother looked equally chic in a pair of denim shorts, a white v-neck tee and a black linen blazer.

She finished off the look with which a straw fedora hat.

The pair had a ball under the warm Californian sun, with Katie keeping a close eye on Suri who was particularly taken by a pink balloon.

Suri watched wide-eyed as other children played nearby with beach toys, but made sure to keep close to her mother.


Well-heeled: Suri appeared to be taking style tips from her mother


After their seaside fun, the tired tot required a helping hand up the stairs from Katie, as they made their way back into the party.

Katie husband and Suri's dad Tom Cruise was also at the bash.

The 48-year-old actor, who was also wearing a fedora hat, opted to stay closer indoors with his other son Connor, 16.

This isn't the first time Suri has emerged in her glamorous pair of gilded heels.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the little girl jetted out of Miami with her mother in a private jet, again wearing the golden shoes.

With gusts created by the plane's turbines, the smiling tot was left grabbing on to her head as her hair billowed everywhere.


Sinking in the sand: The five-year-old toddler slipped her tiny feet into some gold strappy platforms, while her 32-year-old mother opted for some charcoal kitten-heeled shoes, but their footwear sank into the sand


The stylish youngster was dressed in green leggings, a grey top and gold shoes.
Her father Tom, 48, was seen taking a protective hold of his daughter as Katie, disembarked from the car.

The family had been spending their last few days in Miami while Tom had started filming on his new project Rock Of Ages alongside Alec Baldwin, Malin Akerman, Russell Brand and Catherine Zeta-Jones.


Dressed to the nines: Suri paired her grown-up shoes with a pretty pink floral skirt and a white long-sleeved top and wore her chocolate locks out and loose around her shoulders


Amused: Suri seemed particularly taken with her pink balloon shaped like an animal


Suri has been credited — and blamed — for sparking a multi-million-dollar mania for putting pampered kids in designer labels after stepping out in $800 miniature Marc Jacobs heels and $2,100 Dolce & Gabbana trench coats.

Suri has been wearing high heels for two years, with Katie describing them as 'ballroom dancing shoes for kids.'

Thanks to a serious shopping habit that has been indulged ever since she was a toddler, Suri's wardrobe is said to be worth nearly $3.3million.


What are they doing mom? Suri watched wide-eyed as other children played nearby with beach toys, but made sure to keep close to her mother


Father and son: Tom Cruise, who was also wearing a fedora hat, and his son Connor stayed closer indoors at the bash


The toddler has also been wearing make-up for two years and was spotted earlier this year making selections at beauty chain Sephora in New York.

She favours pink lipstick for daytime and a dramatic slash of red at night.

She also has her own designer bags to carry her books and cuddly toys — she has a smaller version of her mother’s Ferragamo Sofia bag and often carries her very own $18,000 Hermes handbag.


Keeping prim: Katie made sure that Suri looked presentable throughout the day


Helping hand: After their seaside fun, the tired tot required a helping hand up the stairs from Katie as they made their way back into the party

Racy lady: Amanda Holden arrived at the Britain's Got Talent studios this evening on the back of a motorbike to avoid the Bank Holiday traffic


It's the moment that fans have been waiting for - the return of Britain's Got Talent head judge Simon Cowell on tonight's show.

And his co-judge Amanda Holden was leaving nothing to chance when it came to getting to the show studios on time today - she was whisked there on the back of a motorbike to avoid getting stuck in Bank Holiday traffic.

Amanda was wearing an unusual biking outfit of grey miniskirt, black sunglasses, jacket and towering black patent stilettos, with her huge pink patent handbag tied behind her on the parcel rack.


Easy rider: The judge proved to be a proficient pillion passenger and even dismounted with ease, despite wearing a short grey mini skirt and towering stilettos


However, she still managed to dismount the bike with decorum before she then removed her helmet and made her way into make-up.


Keen: Amanda wrote on her Twitter page that she 'couldn't wait' to join 'her boys' including Simon Cowell on tonight's show - so made a speedy entrance on a motorbike


The star had revealed earlier today that she couldn't wait for tonight's show - though she revealed she was feeling nervous.

Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'Woken up with major butterflies!! Cannot wait to see all the boys later and especially Simon! Hooray x'


Petrol head: The judge will be hoping to fire on all cylinders for tonight's first live semi-final - and she might want to hold on to her hard hat to protect her from co-judge Simon Cowell's comments about the acts she's helped put through...


Going through to the live semi-finals: Pippa Langhorne and her dog Buddy (left) and Romanian dancer Razy Gogonea were chosen by the judges


Flying high: Joe Oakley amazed the audience with his bike stunt tricks and progressed to the semis


Nerve-wracking: Oakley persuaded his father and a friend to lie on the floor while he jumped over them on his bike


Keyboardist Jessica Hobson, 19, and teen soprano Georgia Odette, 13, both made it through with their renditions of Billie Jean and You'll Never Walk Alone respectively.

Singing duo Mr and Mrs - who are an actual married couple comprising of a school teacher and social worker - also went through.


Infectious personality: Former music teacher Jean Martyn wowed the audience with her rock 'n' roll piano playing


But the next act received three yeses after receiving a standing ovation from the audience.

Former music teacher Jean Martyn, 59, got the whole audience moving with her energetic rock 'n' roll piano routine to Great Balls Of Fire.

Mcintyre said: 'Your smile is infectious. Wildly entertaining.'

• The first Britain's Got Final semi-final is on tonight at 7:30pm.

Leader of the pack: Britain's Got Talent's head honcho Simon Cowell returned to the judging panel tonight for the first live semi-final - but got ribbed by hosts Ant and Dec over the Cheryl Cole X Factor controversy


Simon Cowell made his eagerly-anticipated return to Britain's Got Talent tonight for the first live semi-final - and instantly got teased by show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly over the Cheryl Cole X Factor controversy.

Cowell took to the stage mere hours after it was confirmed that the Girls Aloud star would not be a judge on this year's UK X Factor after being sacked from the U.S. version too.

And Dec couldn't resist having a pop at the show's head honcho over the treatment of fellow Geordie Cheryl, saying: 'Can you understand my accent Simon?' as he reclaimed his seat on the BGT judging panel alongside Michael McIntyre, Amanda Holden and David Hasselhoff.


Sign language: Declan Donnelly, (r) with co-host Ant McPartlin (l), referred to Cheryl Cole's dumping from the U.S. X Factor by asking Simon if he could understand his Geordie accent


Cheeky: Simon gave Ant and Dec a very knowing look as he refused to be drawn on their jibe about Cheryl Cole's departure from the X Factor


Simon's return saw 12-year-old singer Ronan Parke get put straight through to Saturday's grand final after landing the most public votes with his version of Adele's Make You Feel My Love - originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan.


Top three: (L-R) Paul Paul Gbegbaje, Joe Oakley and Ronan Parke were the three acts who got the most votes from the public on tonight's first live semi-final


However, the decision on who else should go though to the final split the judges, with David and Michael voting for BMX stunt rider Joe Oakley, but Amanda and Simon siding with pianist Paul Gbegbaje.

Ant and Dec then went to the public vote - and Paul won through with more votes.


Tense: Ronan was shocked to be voted through immediately, but Paul had to wait to hear if he'd been put through after his performance split the judging panel



Good sport: BMX rider Joe still congratulated Paul after he was voted off in favour of the piano player who went through to Saturday's final


Simon had made his grand entrance returning to the show wearing a light grey suit and a white shirt shirt unbutton to his chest, soundtracked by the Superman movie theme music to a standing ovation from his fellow judges.

However, Simon pretended not to realise that Dec was referring to the rumours that Cheryl was dropped because American audiences couldn't understand her accent, saying: 'Am I missing something here?'

Dec repeated his question as to whether or not Simon could understand his Geordie accent, but Simon sidestepped the question, announcing: 'Moving swiftly on...'


Three become four: After weeks of judging on their own, David, Amanda and Michael were rejoined by Simon tonight as the competition reached the live semis


On with the show: Simon sidestepped Ant and Dec's joke and got to work with the rest of the panel to judge the first live semi-final of BGT tonight


Thumbs up: The Hoff appeared delighted that Simon had returned to the judging panel


Simon, who has been away from the BGT judging panel while he concentrated on launching the X Factor in the States, was then asked by Ant and Dec whether he'd agreed with the decisions the judges had made in his absence.

Happy to avoid talking further on the topic of Cheryl however, Simon visibly relaxed and said: 'I've put my absolute trust in these three to find a star.

'Some of the time, one or two decisions I wouldn't have made, but I am assured by Amanda that everyone's ready for the semi finals.'


Not enough: Stuart Arnold was voted out of the competition tonight after his bizarre act failed to impress viewers at home



Terminated: Stuart Arnold's odd Arnold Schwarzenegger karaoke mash-up got buzzed off by David and Simon


Paws for thought: Dog fan Simon loved Donelda Guy and her dancing dogs Biba and Mega


Michael and Amanda meanwhile took the mickey out of Simon's dress sense - referring specifically to his plunging neckline.

Michael joked: 'I can't keep my eyes off his chest' while Amanda chipped in: 'And look at the competition, look at the Hoff's chest!'

Simon however didn't miss a beat and responded: 'And may I just say, look at your chest Amanda!'


Red hot: The Bruce Sistaz impressed the judges with their Kill Bill-style martial arts moves


Saucy dance troupe Girls Roc were the first act before the new four-strong judging panel, and instantly got Simon's seal of approval.

They emerged on a huge set of scaffolding to a remix of Eurythmic's Sweet Dreams - complete with their trademark snake and firebreathing.

They got a resounding thumbs up from David, Michael and Amanda, with Simon enthusing: 'I thought it was fantastic, nothing missing, you blowing fire, snakes, dancing. Do you do home shows?'


Piano man: Paul Gbegbaje was in tune with what the judges wanted and got a resounding thumbs up from all four


Generations of talent: Grandfather and granddaughter act Ted And Grace provided a few laughs on the night


He enthused: 'I would book you for my birthday party next year. I thought the staging was great, the dancing was a bit okay, but who cares? Terrific show girls.'

Other acts battling for the chance to win £100,000 and the chance to perform for The Queen at the Royal Variety Performance in December included long-shot Stuart Arnold, the self-styled Enter-Terminator, who failed to impress David or Simon, getting buzzed off by both.

Dog-lover Simon naturally loved canine dancers Mega and Biba with their owner Donelda Guy performing their routine to Shirley Bassey's cover of Pink's Get The Party Started.


Tenterhooks: There was tension in the studio before the finalists were unveiled by show hosts Ant and Dec


Daredevil: BMX stunt rider Joe Oakley was one of Simon's favourite acts on the night - and he managed not to fall off


Simon gushed: 'It worked more for the dogs than it did for you. But I like the facts the dogs were dancing in the middle', to which Donelda said: 'That was especially for you, Simon.'

Pianist Paul Gbegbaje was also a big hit with the judges, as were martial arts siblings the Bruce Sistaz and the shambolic but sweet Ted and Grace.
But arguably, the best was saved to last.


Big moment: 12-year-old Ronan Parke captivated the entire audience with his pitch-perfect rendition of Adele's Make You Feel My Love


Moved: Both Amanda and Simon raved about young Ronan's assured performance before millions watching live on tonight's show


On song: Ronan is an early favourite to win Saturday's BGT final and the chance to win £100,000 and a place on the Royal Variety Performance bill in December


Simon declared that penultimate performance of the night, BMX stunt rider Joe Oakley, as his favourite act of the evening, but then 12-year-old singer Ronan Parke was last up and appeared to blow all competition out of the water with his assured version of Adele's Make You Feel My Love.

David tipped Ronan to win on Saturday too, saying: 'You sang your heart out and we all felt it. You're going to be really hard to beat in this competition.'

Michael concurred, saying: 'You're a total natural. You nailed that song and I think you've got even more in reserve. '


Amanda was even more positive, saying: 'It was effortless. You have the most gorgeous voice and your parents must be bursting with pride - as I think the whole nation will be after that performance.'

And Simon said: 'I wasn't crazy about your initial choice of song, but I have to say you totally and utterly nailed that.

'If Adele's watching now I think she'll be really happy.'

There was a wait after all the performances had finished and the show returned for the 9.30pm results show, which saw an impressive performance from last year's winner's Spelbound.

Ant and Dec then announced the results of the public vote - which saw Ronan named as the out-and-out winner with automatic entry to Saturday's final.

There were then the nail-biting scenes as the judging panel was split between Paul Gbegbaje and Joe Oakley as to who should be the second act put through - before the public voted was revealed by Ant and Dec and the pianist put through to Saturdays' live final.

Britain's Got Talent is on every day this week on ITV1 at 7,30pm and 9.30pm, as the further acts are whittled down to qualify for Saturday's show.
