Oprah would have never made it in the UK: Jameela Jamil

London, March 19 (IANS) English actress-model-television personality Jameela Jamil feels chat show empress Oprah Winfrey would have "never made it" if she gave the calling a shot in the United Kingdom, because of the lack of diversity in the country's showbiz scene. ## Jamil, 34, said this was also the reason she herself shifted to the United states, in order to pursue a career in television. ## "We're still behind in giving women important jobs that lead to long standing, dignified careers, the rest of us either get pushed out or get pushed into being nothing more than sex objects, whether we want that or not. I remember coming to America five years ago and seeing (black US broadcaster) Robin Roberts hosting 'Good Morning America' and knowing that Oprah is a really big deal (in the US). Oprah would never have made it in the UK," Jamil said, opening up in an interview with Playboy magazine. ## "I couldn't believe that I was seeing women in their fifties and sixties of different races on the biggest shows on US television. That was a big moment," she added, about her first impression of the American entertainment industry, according to a report in dailymail.co.uk. ## Jamil claimed she had to fly off to the US because had she stayed on in the UK, she would be sent to the "glue factory". ## She left London for Los Angeles after a breast cancer scare. According to Daily Mail, Jamil initially had no plans of acting or facing the camera. She intended to work as a screenwriter in Hollywood. ## Before trekking Hollywood, Jamil started off as the host of a popular "T4" at the age of 23, and went on to become the host of "The Official Chart" on BBC Radio 1. She also co-hosted "The Official Chart Update" with Scott Mills on the channel. Jamil would be the first solo female presenter of the BBC Radio 1 chart show. ## For more and the latest news about Hollywood, stay tuned to us.

Ellie Goulding says she was addicted to exercise

Los Angeles, March 14 (IANS) Singer Ellie Goulding says she was addicted to exercise, which took over her life. ## In an interview with The Sun, the singer, 33, opened up about how she felt she had to go to the gym every day and how her husband and former Olympic rower Caspar Jopling helped her overcome her addiction, reports dailymail.co.uk. ## "I don't consider myself to have an addictive personality but I felt as though I did at one point have a gym addiction that was just not fun, I felt I had to go to the gym every single day," Goulding said. ## "I don't know whether it was a survival thing, because touring was so tiring, so hard, really taxing on your body and your mental health. I felt as though it was a survival instinct to be working out all the time, making sure I was super fit, super healthy and tried to counteract having drinks on tour and perhaps not eating very well," she added. ## Last year, Goulding shared that she nearly quit music after 10 years of touring left her with anxiety. ## She took a four-year hiatus after her 2015 album but Caspar, 28, helped her "rediscover" her passion and create a healthy relationship with exercise. ## The singer said she saw "touring as real-life" but felt really "inspired by Caspar's amazing willpower and determination". ## For more and the latest news about Hollywood, stay tuned to us.
