Janine Tugonon on breakup: 'I was at fault, My imagination ran away with me.'

MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe 2012 first runner-up Janine Tugonon made it clear that she does not want her most recent mistake in her love life to define her as a person.

Tugonon draw flak after her very public announcement of her breakup with her non-showbiz boyfriend, Jaypee Santos, during their appearance on the morning show “Kris TV” last April.

The split was reportedly because of Tugonon’s attraction to The Script vocalist Danny O'Donoghue, who performed in the Philippines last March.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, Tugonon admitted that she learned a lot from the breakup.

“I accept that I was wrong. Alam ko na ako ang at fault, alam ko na ako ang mali, but I wouldn’t like that failure to define who I am. Ayaw ko na 'yun ang magdikta sa kung ano ang gagawin ko sa mga susunod pa. Mistakes do happen, but it doesn’t have to dictate me where I am going,” she said.

She also denied reports that she flew to France after the controversy erupted so she could run away from the problem.

“My France trip was planned January pa lang. Matagal na iyon. It was moved lang ng April kasi nga there’s Binibining Pilipinas and I’m busy before the pageant. They moved it ng after Binibini. It’s not because of the issue or because of anything. It’s really for vacation lang,” she said.

The beauty queen said she and Santos remain friends, but she does not want to think of a possible reconciliation just yet.

“I am not really focusing on that right now. Work and kung ano pa ang mga future na gagawin ko sa life ko [ang focus ko ngayon]. With the controversy that happened, everything was shaken. 'Yung family ko, ako rin, naiba na ang mga gusto kong gawin,” she said.

As for O'Donoghue, she said: “I really don’t want to talk about it. Huwag na natin pag-usapan.”

It appears as we all thought that she was simply infatuated with Danny and mistook his flirty, fun and friendly nature as a green light for a relationship.

I’m Using Voice To Pull Girls - Says Danny O'Donoghue

FLIRTY coach Danny O’Donoghue has admitted he’s using The Voice to check out the prettiest girls. 

The singer-songwriter, 2, reckons the BBC1 show is perfect for EYEING UP talent as well as spotting it. 

He said: “I’m a ladies man. There are a lot of pretty girls on the show. I’m telling them they are gorgeous because I am single and I am looking!” 

Danny, who was romantically linked to last year’s runner-up Bo Bruce, 28, has also admitted: “I wouldn’t rule out dating a fan or a contestant. Ever!” 

The Script frontman – single since splitting from model Irma Mali, 29, in June last year – revealed fellow coach Sir Tom Jones had given him some pulling tips

But he reckons the sexbomb star, 72, will always be the No1 babe magnet. He said: Tom just says, ‘Be cool and shut up!’. I think I ruin my chances by opening my mouth and letting it run. But as soon as Tom switches it on, all the girls head over to him.” 

Despite looking for love, Irish Danny reckons the female attention he has received since appearing on The Voice has turned him into a RECLUSE. 

He said: “One in ten people recognised me before, but now it’s crazy. I’m a bit of a recluse. I have to stay in the house.” 

On Saturday's show, Danny was seen rowing with fellow coach Will.i.am, 38. He said: “There’s an argument that puts a stop to our bromance. Will’s an idiot as he missed out on three brilliant singers.” 

Last year The Voice crashed in the ratings, but Danny said: “It’s a lot more exciting this year. The editing is faster and the contestants are good.”

Bo Bruce: Bosses Wrecked My Romance With Danny O’Donoghue

THE VOICE star Bo Bruce says meddling bosses ruined her chance of a romance with judge Danny O’Donoghue.

The singer, who insists their relationship during the BBC show was not a stunt, said The Script frontman ditched her after warnings.

She regrets the bond the pair developed but insists she is not bitter about it. Bo, who wouldn’t name those responsible, told TV Biz: “We were incredibly close and he’s a hot guy. It was a mad time and meeting someone under those circumstances is difficult.

“I was very vulnerable and I regret a lot of things that happened.

“There was such an obsession with whether or not we were together and that put wild amounts of pressure on us.

“In the end a decision was made for him to not be around me. The process of writing my album Before I Sleep began when I was supposed to go with Danny to a Coldplay concert. It was meant to be an end-of-The-Voice present — for him and me. But he was told he was not allowed to, because he couldn’t be seen with me in public.

“So I ended up not going with him but someone took pity on me and invited me to Coldplay’s box, with Coldplay’s agent, who then wanted to sign me.

“So although I said I have regrets about what happened, it led to so many other things.”

Bo — real name Lady Catherine Anna Brudenell-Bruce — bonded with Danny after he split from model girlfriend Irma Mali last year.

But the runner-up, who juggled caring for her terminally ill mum with competing for the show title, said their friendship has since waned. And she admitted she was disappointed that he failed to turn up to her album launch at London’s The Social last week, despite false reports he was there.

Bo, who lost out in The Voice final to Leanne Mitchell, still refuses to confirm or deny that she shared a romance with her Irish mentor.

But she revealed that she has laid bare her feelings about him on her album, including the debut single Save Me.

On the track, which is released with the album on April 29, Bo sings: “You made me want you and I didn’t want to/ Why would you wake me if you’re not going to save me?”

Bo said: “I can’t talk about it openly because it doesn’t just affect me. But I answer everything on my album. It’s fair to say it makes things pretty clear.”

Bo Bruce: The Voice’s Danny O’Donoghue Is Keeping His Distance After I Wanted More

The Voice’s Danny O’Donoghue has been keeping his former protégé Bo Bruce at arms-length after she admitted she wanted more than he was willing to give after they struck up a spark on last year’s series.

The Script singer has denied he mixed business with pleasure with the 28-year-old singing aristocrat as he still had a girlfriend at the time but Bruce refuses to deny the bedroom claims.

‘No, I haven’t (denied it),’ she said.

‘I… what do I say? It was an incredible whirlwind that show. There was so much rumour and pressure on us, it was mad.’

Bo says Danny’s ex-lover, Lithuanian model named Irma Mali, put a spanner in the works on their blossoming on screen chemistry, although the couple split shortly after the gossip surfaced.

‘He had a girlfriend throughout the filming of The Voice,’ said Bruce.

Since Danny has kept his distance from Bruce after she confessed she may have been a little too eager after he helped her cope with losing her mum, Rosamond Winkley, to cancer.

Bruce, real name Lady Catherine Anna Brudenell-Bruce, told New! magazine: ‘I mean we, both felt a lot of pressure. I was going through a lot at that time and I was possibly looking to him for more help than he would be able to give under the circumstances with what the press were saying to us.’

Revealing the 32-year-old Irish star has been giving her the silent treatment, she added: ‘He’s been on his world tour so he’s been a bit busy for me. I haven’t seen him recently but we text all the time.’

However, eager Bo already has big plans for the pair when he gets round to helping her with her solo career.

‘I’m really looking forward to seeing him again soon. It’s been a long time but we’ve been in constant contact, what with the album, and he’s given me a lot of advice. We’re directing the video of my next single together and I’m trying to get him to be in the video!'

Script's Danny Is Over Irma And Looking For Love

 

PREPARE yourself, ladies: one of Ireland's most eligible bachelors – Danny O'Donoghue – is on the lookout for love.

The Script frontman has said he is now over last year's split from model Irma Mali and would like to settle down.

The Dublin native admits that breaking up with his long-term love was heartbreaking, but is now open to the idea of marriage.

The star of the Voice UK said: "I just got out of a long-distance relationship and, although that comes with its own heartache, I have the freedom to travel."

And Danny has some wacky marriage venues in mind.

The 32-year-old told next month's Glamour magazine: "I'd like to go into space, so if someone paid me €500,000 for a space wedding or a wedding on the Moon, I'd think I'd have to do it."

Positive

Danny is constantly being linked with new love interests since his split from Irma and is not short of marriage offers, but says he doesn't understand why people find him sexy

"It's all pretty positive. I got 200 proposals in two days once. What does that say about me? Why do they want me to meet their parents?"

He is looking for a woman who is secure in herself – and a fan of body art.

"It's hard to keep a woman's mind at ease when you are away and she's thinking you are always at a party.

"I tend not to go for insecure women.

"I like a woman with a bit of meat on her and I love tattoos. I'm a tattoo whore – I'll find any woman with a tattoo sexy," added Danny.

The Voice mentor spent months denying speculation that he was dating his act Bo Bruce from last year, but he said that he wouldn't rule out dating a contestant from the show.

However, he makes sure to stay away from obsessive fans, whom he labels as weird.

"People who wait outside your door ... that's a little bit weird isn't it? I once had two mums and their daughters come to a meet-and-greet.

"The daughters didn't seem that interested, but at 2am the next morning, the mothers were waiting outside our hotel rooms trying to get in."

The Script Singer Silent On Issue With Janine

Singer Danny O’Donoghue became active once again on Twitter, days after it was reported that he was one of the reasons behind the breakup of beauty queen Janine Tugonon and Jaypee Santos. 

Twitter was on fire last week as Filipino netizens from across the globe voiced their opinions on Tugonon’s announcement on national television that he has broken up with Santos, who was right beside her at the time, and her constant mention of O’Donoghue, the lead vocalist of the Irish pop-rock band The Script. 

The breakup buzz has even generated an Internet meme called “Na-Janine.” 

But O’Donoghue, who returned to “tweeting” on April 19, has not said anything about the issue, or even Tugonon. 

His posts for the past days only involved the reality singing contest “The Voice UK,” where he sits as one of the judges. 

O’Donoghue was recently told off for flirting with the contestants of “The Voice UK,” according to a report from MTV. 

The lead vocalist of The Script met Tugonon when they performed in Manila early this year. 

‘Time of confusion’ 

Last week, Santos said Tugonon went through what he called “a time of confusion” when she got attracted to O’Donoghue. He made the statement as some Twitter users said his defense of Tugonon is aimed at controlling the damage the breakup may cause to the beauty queen’s future showbiz career. 

Defending his ex-girlfriend once again, Santos said Tugonon was “only confused during those times,” adding that “no actions have been made beyond that attraction.” 

He also appealed to the public to stop judging Tugonon based on the statements she made on the ABS-CBN morning show “Kris TV,” which was taped nearly a month ago. 

Santos then expressed optimism that he and Tugonon will eventually patch things up.

Danny O’Donoghue Using The Voice To Find A Girlfriend? Let The Denim See…..More Denim!

Danny O’Donoghue is reportedly ready to settle down and has decided that he wants to find himself a willing woman on The Voice.

The Script star has been single ever since he broke up with his model girlfriend during last year’s series of the BBC show and insiders have told Now magazine that he is using his time as a coach to weed out potential partners.

The so called source suggested that the ‘Hall Of Fame’ hitmaker has been acting as if he is appearing on ITV’s dating show ‘Take Me Out’ and told Now:

“Danny thinks another singer will understand him better, so it’s like he’s turning the show into his version of Take Me Out.”

Let the quiff see the hair gel, let the denim see the slightly different shade of denim, let the pout see the lip balm…..

The insider continued:

“Of course he’s putting his search for singing talent first, but he’s keeping his eyes open for attractive ladies too.”

“He’s only just got back from touring with The Script so he reckons finding love on the show would be perfect because he doesn’t have time to meet woman.”

We aren’t sure if the insider means Danny is open to dating contestants, or if he’s supposedly looking for love with audience members. Either way, we don’t see it as being very likely.

Although we can see where the story is coming from, as Dan did confess recently that he would consider dating one of his team members and explained:

“I wouldn’t rule out dating a fan or a contestant, no I wouldn’t.”

However, after he admitted that he played up stories of a romance between himself and Bo Bruce last year, in order to boost her record sales, we aren’t sure how much of his claims are true and how much is just posturing in an attempt to grab headlines.

Meanwhile, it seems that Dan the man is taking his role as a coach very seriously these days and he hit out at reports that he had abandoned his hopeful singers after the battle rounds.

The Irish hunk is currently touring in Australia with his band but he insists that he is keeping in constant contact with his finalists and tweeted.

“Ever heard of Skype , Internet and mobile phones. Your never far away. I’ve spent more time with Team Danny then i have my family #dedication”

“I had members of my team,most dates on the stage with me , singing songs during soundchecks and learning the ropes backstage #thatscoaching”

The Voice 2013: Danny O’Donoghue reveals his ideal woman will have tattoos, be plump, and will not be needy and/or jealous!

Fans of The Voice coach Danny O’Donoghue will know that despite rumours he was or is dating former contestant Bo Bruce, he is in fact single and very much ready to mingle, assuming the right girl comes along that is…

And according to Danny’s list of ‘wants’ in an ideal mate, that girl could well be a Russian shot-putter and/or a sailor or some sort. However, the ability to spit, down pints, burp and shoot rats would appear to be optional.

Speaking to Glamour magazine, Script frontman Danny explained, “I just got out of a long-distance relationship and although I’m not with that person now, that comes with its own heartache…

“I have the freedom to travel and have my heart with me.”

That’s handy. He’d be bit buggered without it.

Anyway, he continued, “It’s hard to keep a woman’s mind at ease when you’re away and she’s thinking that you’re always out at a party.

“I tend to not go for insecure women. There’s no bigger turn-off than a girl who says, “What are you doing in the studio? You should be here with me.’

“That means they don’t get what I need to live. I’m at the age where I get that you don’t need to be together all the time to make something work.”

He added of his perfect soulmate, “I like a woman with a bit more meat on her. And I love women with tattoos. I’m a tattoo whore.

“I’ll find any woman with a tattoo sexy.”

And though Danny enjoys a lot of female attention, some of it is unwanted.

He explained, “I once had two mums and their daughters come to a meet and greet…

“The daughters didn’t seem that interested, but at 2am the next morning, the mothers were outside our hotel rooms, trying to get in.”

You can find out what happened there, and read the rest of the interview, in Glamour magazine which is out on Thursday.

'The Voice' coach Danny O'Donoghue: 'I need a woman who trusts me'

Danny O'Donoghue has revealed that he hopes to find a girlfriend who does not feel insecure about his fame. 

The Voice UK coach told Glamour magazine that it can be hard to keep the trust in a relationship with his lifestyle.

O'Donoghue, who split from long-time girlfriend Irma Mali in June last year, said: "I just got out of a long-distance relationship and although I'm not with that person now, that comes with its own heartache. 

"I have the freedom to travel and have my heart with me.

"It's hard to keep a woman's mind at ease when you're away and she's thinking that you're always out at a party. I tend to not go for insecure women. There's no bigger turn-off than a girl who says, 'What are you doing in the studio? You should be here with me.'

"That means they don't get what I need to live. I'm at the age where I get that you don't need to be together all the time to make something work."

O'Donoghue recently said that he is "definitely mingling" and enjoying being single at the moment.

The 32-year-old added that he doesn't think he would get the same attention without his role on The Voice UK.

"If I weren't in the public eye I wouldn't get the same action I do now - I've got a face like a foot," he said.

Talking about his ideal woman, the 'Man Who Can't Be Moved' singer said that he likes a woman "with a bit more meat on her" as well as tattoos.

"I'll find any woman with a tattoo sexy," he admitted.

Danny O'Donoghue Admits He Is Open To Dating 'The Voice' Contestants

Danny O'Donoghue admits he is open to dating contestants The Voice UK coach Danny, who was romantically linked to contestant Bo Bruce during last year's series, has revealed he is not dating any of the musical hopefuls this time round. 

The second series is currently being filmed and although none of the performers have caught star Danny's eye, there's no saying an on-screen romance couldn’t happen again. "I wouldn't rule out dating a fan or a contestant, no I wouldn't," he said.

Speaking about Bo's musical career The Script singer said, "Bo's single actually went live today, it's called Save Me, and the album's out in a month's time," he said, speaking at The Voice press launch. "We're directing the second single called Alive, which we co-wrote together." "It's an amazing song," he added. 

There was no hiding Danny and Bo's on-camera chemistry and off-camera flirtation as the duo were spotted together on nights out in the first series, smoking and drinking in capital hotspots like Groucho Club. 

Danny denied rumours they ever dated and says he spent time after the show trying to win back his ex-girlfriend of four years, Lithuanian-born model Irma Mali, but he remains single. He claimed his closeness to Bo was a publicity stunt."We decided to let the story run to keep her name in the papers so that she was still in the public sphere when she released a single," he admitted. 

Bo is not the only singer Danny has collaborated with through the show. This year's series features a round of 'steals' where coaches can 'steal' each other's losing artists and take them on for their own team, instead of sending them home. 

"We all stole off Jessie," said Sir Tom Jones, the most experienced coach of fellow judge Jessie J. "She let us know that." Danny and fellow coach will.i.am took advantage of their 'steals' and coaxed acts into the recording studio. "People that Jessie are kicking off, me and will are like, come on, let's go make a record," said Danny. 

The two mentors also collaborated after filming The Voice to release a new song, Hall of Fame. "Danny wrote it way before the show but then we worked on it and made it fresh," said will. "He came to Los Angeles and stayed down the street from my old ghetto, met my brother, tried to get me to do some crazy stuff," said will. "Yeah but I couldn't stay in his house because I'm Irish," joked Danny. "I would have brought my whole family to stay."

What a party, but will Irma be reunited with Danny?

She partied with her ex-boyfriend Danny O'Donoghue last week – but model Irma Mali is remaining coy on whether they have any future. 

Irma joined Danny last week at the Morrison Hotel where his band, The Script, was throwing a party after their Dublin gig. 

Lithuanian model Irma (29) was top of the list for attendees – and by all accounts had a great night. 

Danny and Irma ended their four- year relationship last year. 

And despite being linked to his Voice act Bo Bruce last year, Finglas native Danny has remained resolutely unattached. 

But when asked if she was rekindling her relationship with the Irish rock star, Irma remained coy. 

"I knew you were going to ask me that," she laughed. "I don't really want to talk about it." 

While she's keeping her relationship status under wraps, Irma says she's never been happier or busier.

From Rags To Riches ... It's All In The Script As Boys Reap The Rewards

THE good news just keeps on rolling in for The Script. 

The band has seen their profile rocket further due to lead singer Danny O'Donoghue's role on the BBC's version of The Voice. 

And the hardworking Dublin band are beginning to reap the benefits, as their latest accounts show they made a cool €823,000 in profits last year. 

The band have been capitalising on Danny's success – they've duetted with his fellow coach will.i.am for their hit song Hall Of Fame. 

And last year's world tour around North America, Australia, Europe and Asia added to the band's coffers. 

At the band's three sold-out concerts in Dublin last week, adulation for Danny reached peak levels. 

Danny walked through the crowd at one stage during the concert – and security had to keep his legions of female fans at bay. 

Despite being hailed as a heart-throb and enjoying a high-profile status in the UK, Danny remains single. 

He split from his long-term girlfriend Irma Mali last year – but the pair remain friends. 

Irma attended the after-party thrown by the band at the Morrisson Hotel on Thursday of last week. 

And despite being linked to his Voice act Bo Bruce last year, Finglas native Danny has remained resolutely unattached. 

New figures show that O'Donoghue and band co-founder Mark Sheehan's Madnotes Publishing and Madnotes Entertainment had combined profits last year totalling €823,000. Drummer Glen Power makes up the musical trio. 

The combined cash pile at the firm comes to £1.7m – almost €2m. 

But despite their newfound riches and global travel, the lads say they miss the simple things in life. 

Speaking to the Herald recently, drummer Glen said they miss the chipper when they are away on tour. 

"I miss the chips and a good old spice burger. If you try and explain it to Americans they have no idea what you're talking about," he said. 

Glen says frontman Danny O'Donoghue and guitarist Mark Sheehan also miss Dublin's culinary delights. 

But the lads are quick to buoy each other’sm spirits when they suffer from hunger pangs or home sickness. 

"The hardest part is being away from home and your family," Glen said.

Split fits Script; DAN'S ALL HEART

THE Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue found heartache at just the right time when it came to penning latest single Six Degrees Of Separation. 

Danny, 32, told me: "I split up with my long-term girlfriend and that happened to fall in the period where we were writing an album. 

"I'm still single and I tend to fluctuate between being in a relationship, going out of one, being in a relationship, going out of one." 

The Dublin lad admits that baring his soul in his lyrics is a cheap form of therapy. He explained: "You can always expect The Script to be writing about what's going on in our lives." 

The band's profile skyrocketed earlier this year when Danny became a coach on The Voice but he says the show was by no means a guaranteed hit. 

Danny revealed: "Actually it could have gone really wrong. 

"The Script backed it and I still really believe in the show. 

"I know the ratings kind of dropped off towards the end when people had become familiar with the format but I was excited by it. 

"I'm still excited about going in to do the second series later this month. I feel that we needed it to work. 

"It was an amazing vehicle and I'm blessed the BBC gave me the chance to do it." 

The Script will be performing at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball tomorrow, alongside Bruno Mars, Cheryl, Lawson, Little Mix, One Direction, Rizzle Kicks and JLS.
