HE'S found himself in big demand for DJing dates since winning the hearts of voters on ITV's Celebrity Love Island.

But Fran Cosgrave says there's one place he's always happy to get washed up - Liverpool.

"I love Scousers, man," he gushes in his instantly recognisable, broad Irish accent. "Mad Irish and mad Scousers, we're all a bit the same aren't we?

"I've been DJing all over the country this year, but I've always wanted to play Garlands so when I got a call asking me I was well up for it."

Fran is now living in Liverpool with his fiancee, former Kitten Natasha Hamilton , and their little boy Josh.

So his gig on Sunday at Garlands' Carry On Miss-Behavin is pretty much a home from home.

"The Sunday night's built up a really good following in Liverpool so I can't wait," enthuses Fran. "I'm just looking forward to it so much."

He's certainly not been short of attention since being voted joint winner of Celebrity Love Island along with Geordie TV presenter Jayne Middlemiss .

But he jokes: "The paparazzi aren't interested in me, it's Tash and Josh. People hate me!"

But it's not just his media profile that's gone up. He's found himself wanted on the decks, too.

"I am quite lucky in that I'm booked for a few gigs, but it's always nice when people want you for more," he says. "I started out as a DJ, then I was looking after the doors as well, then I owned night clubs, so I've gone back and forth a bit. Now I think I've found a very comfortable place in the middle where I can shine.

"Last Saturday I played a gig with Judge Jules , so I'm playing around with some big names at the moment which is really good. It's like living out my dream." Dawn Collinson

FRAN'S NIGHT OF LUST WITH MODEL
By Gemma Calvert

REALITY telly star Fran Cosgrave had a steamy night with a brunette model — behind his fiancée's back.

Fran went home with sexy Samantha Nelemans just two months after revealing he was engaged to ex-Atomic Kitten babe Natasha Hamilton.

Sam told a friend: "We met in a London club. Fran was leading me on all night. He bought champagne then started being really touchy."

The beauty, who has known Celebrity Love Island star Fran since they met at his club Trap four years ago, added: "He kept touching my leg.

"I thought nothing of it because we're friends. We were kissing all the time and touching. Then he started talking about sex. He wanted to watch me while I lay there naked. It was pretty explicit stuff."

The pair left separately and met up at Sam's north London home. But she said: "He freaked out. He said, ‘I don't really sleep with girls behind my girlfriend's back.' So we just kissed. He was terrified Nat would find out."

Sam, 27, who has dated stars Blue singer Lee Ryan and Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay, added: "I just wanted to be with Fran. He's really nice looking."

Two weeks ago Irishman Fran, 27, was gushing about his proposal to Nat, 23, mother of their son Josh, three. He said: "Tash had just woken up and I said, ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you spend the rest of your life with me?'"

Last night his spokesman said: "Fran admits he kissed Sam but they didn't have sex."

CLI will go head-to-head with BB7 next year. The show will run every night for 2 months straight after World Cup matches on ITV.
According to a senior ITV source the show will be bigger, brighter with much more happening.
The show will be filmed on the same Fijian Island. It will also feature a bushtucker trial like IACGMOOH.

Jade was, in fact, offered mucho moolah to dump Ruan Amoo so she could do CLI. Kate Lawler is lined up for CLI series 2. And Stanky Stencher and G-Gareth Gates were originally lined up for series 1 but Abi Titmuss and Judi Shekoni vetoed the babyfaced losers by threatening to pull out - sensible ladies.

Jade says she was offered much moolah, like she said she was offered a million pounds to pose for Playboy. That was untrue, this could well have been too. After all they want attractive people

As for the Abi and Judy comments, an utter fallacy, I heard Spencer pulled out of his own accord
