OHMYGOSSIP — A dodgy prawn curry nearly caused havoc with ‘Line of Duty’ filming after the cast and crew were struck down with food poisoning “like a domino effect”.
Stephen Graham (John Corbett) and Rochenda Sandall – who plays gang member Lisa McQueen in the BBC thriller – were among the stars who began turning “pasty and sweaty” after chowing down on the fishy food on their break.
Rochenda said: “We all had the prawn curry on a night shoot, and we all started to go a bit pasty, a bit sweaty.
“I said to Steve, ‘Are you all right mate?’ And he said, ‘Oof, I feel a bit rough, mate.’
“I went, ‘What did you have for dinner?’ And he went, ‘Oh, the prawn curry.’ And the same with Ali [Natkiel, Lee Banks], he went, ‘I’ve had the prawn curry as well.’
“It was like a domino effect between all the crew.”
Rochenda admitted the scene “really nearly” resembled one from comedy movie ‘Bridesmaids’, in which several characters begin exploding out of both ends after getting food poisoning from a restaurant.
She said: “You’ve got to keep it together.
“I was actually quite surprised that you couldn’t tell. The make-up girls did a tremendous job. A brilliant job to hide it.”
The thrilling fifth ‘Line of Duty’ series will come to an end on Sunday (05.05.19) in a 90-minute special, and Rochenda has hinted not all the endings will be tied up.
She said: “It will certainly have some form of conclusion. But as I’m sure you’re all aware there’s still another series to go, and there’s lots of details.”
Rochenda turned down the chance to watch all six episodes before they were broadcast, and she has been holding firm about giving away spoilers, even refusing to tell her own mum what is going to happen.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, she added: “We got offered all six but I chose to watch them live with everybody else.
“She’s desperate for an exclusive. Every week she rings and I tell her, ‘Absolutely no.’
“Most people don’t want to know. They like being detectives themselves.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Beckett is to present a new BBC daytime quiz show.
The 33-year-old comedian will front ‘Head Hunters’, which will air every weekday afternoon for six weeks and see three Head Hunters emerge from a talent pool of 20 quizzers after they successfully answer a number of qualifying questions.
Each episode a winning Head Hunter will scoop the rolling jackpot if they manage to answer a question correctly from nine tough categories in 90 seconds.
Rob said: “When I was first approached about ‘Head Hunters’ I was slightly worried that it might be a reality TV hunting show, and I would be shot by an ivory poacher.
“Luckily for me it’s a brilliant quiz show that I get to host.
“It’s my first time hosting a quiz and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
“We will definitely have some laughs along the way as our ‘Head Hunters’ bid, banter and sometimes offend their opponents in what promises to be an exciting new BBC quiz.”
The Head Hunters may think they know the categories well enough to go solo in an attempt to win the jackpot.
But if not they will have to “hunt the heads” they feel can help them by bidding for the services of contestants from the Talent Pool with cash offers.
Talent Pool contestants will return for several episodes and may make or break allegiances with their fellow contestants.
Jo Street, BBC commissioning editor, said: “If knowledge has a price, how much will our Head Hunters be worth? £15,000? £1,500? Or £1.50?
“Every episode of ‘Head Hunters’ will be different – some quizzers could be offered huge amounts by each other, some could be offensively small.
“Either way ‘Head Hunters’ will deliver BBC One Daytime viewers fun and games throughout.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelvin Fletcher and Matt Evers are planning to shave their pubic hairs into the shape of Willie Thorne’s moustache ready for their strip on ‘The All New Monty: Who Bares Wins’.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ actor and the ‘Dancing on Ice’ pro skater want to “pay homage” to the snooker legend, who is also part of the ITV show, because he has been the father figure of their group.
Kelvin said: “We are planning on paying homage to Willie by having our pubic hairs shaped like his ‘tache.
“He’s been the patriarch of the group and he’s battling prostate cancer right now.
“He’s a legend.”
Kelvin and Willie have been preparing for the show – which will see the stars perform a ‘Full Monty’-style striptease to raise awareness of male cancers – by getting spray tans, but hotel staff mistook the former Andy Sugden actor’s tanning assistant for “paid help”.
He said: “I got someone to come to our hotel – I think reception thought she was paid help, I told my wife everything just in case.
“Then Willie had one, too.”
When Kelvin and Matt have finished on ‘The All New Monty’, they have set their sights on making history on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
Kelvin added to OK! magazine: “Matt and I want to be the first all-male couple on ‘Dancing on Ice’.”
Matt recently admitted he has “never been more nervous” than he is for stripping off on the show.
He said: “We’re raising awareness for testicular cancer.
“I had a testicular cancer scare a couple of years back and thankfully I am got a clean bill of health but this is something in my career I would have never thought I’d do and it’s performing for millions and millions of people with ‘Dancing On Ice’, and now taking my clothes off for millions and millions of people.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more nervous! It’s properly everything off and when I agreed to do the show I was like, ‘I don’t know, it’ll be smoke and mirrors or I’ll wear a flesh-coloured thong’ no.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Thorp says starring on ‘Coronation Street’ made dating tricky.
The 30-year-old actress – who is best known for portraying Nicola Rubenstein on the hit ITV soap – says being in the public eye makes trying to find a guy much harder because potential suitors often only want to speak to her to get a selfie for their gran.
Nicola told The Daily Star newspaper: “I’ve used dating sites in the past and they can be brilliant, especially if you’re busy working.
“I’ve met some really interesting people even though it might not have worked out romantically, we’ve become friends.
“It’s funny because I’ve been out recently and have had a good-looking man look at me in a bar, and then I’d pluck up the courage and confidence to go and say hello, and I’ll get, ‘Aren’t you Phelan’s daughter?’
“And I’m like, ‘Damn it! I thought you were going to ask for my number but you just want a photo to show your nan.’ ”
The brunette – who turned 30 last September – thinks dating gets more complicated with maturity because when you get older things get more serious.
She said: “Dating in your 30s is very different to dating in your 20s. When you’re 30, you’re looking for someone to settle down with.
“There’s this misconception that you’re trying to find the missing piece of a jigsaw when actually you have to be a complete jigsaw first and find yourself another.”
Nicola is currently making a documentary and campaigning about the way schools educate children about contraception because she wants her “future daughter” to be with a boy who is clued up on safe sex.
She said: “I constantly have my future daughter in my mind, and when I think it’s not worth it, I do it for her or my future son.
“It’s about the next generation. There’s this stigma around periods and contraception – it’s about breaking down that stigma and embarrassment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift went to “cat school” for her role in the upcoming ‘Cats’ film.
The 29-year-old singer will play the flirty feline Bombalurina in the live-action adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic stage musical, which also stars the likes of Idris Elba James Corden, Rebel Wilson and Dame Judi Dench.
And the 2019 TIME 100 honoree has revealed that she knew she had to portray her character in the much-anticipated movie because she is “obsessed” with own feline friends and she has spilled that she even went to a kitty class on set, which taught her how to act like a feline as much as she “possibly could”.
She told TIME’s ‘Three Things That Have Influenced Me’ series: “I have Cats, I’m obsessed with them. They’re just a real joy to live with. And I love my cats so much that when a role came up in a movie called ‘Cats’, I just thought like I’ve gotta do this. Like this is my calling in life, to do this for the ladies.
“And so I went to cat school which they have on set, readily available for us and learned how to be as much like a cat as I possibly could and yeah cats are just really cool.”
The ‘ME’ hitmaker – who has pet pussies Olivia Benson, Meredith Grey and Benjamin Button of her own – also really “respects” her animals because they’re “capable of dealing with their own life”.
She added: “They’re really great. They’re very dignified. They’re very independent. They’re very capable of dealing with their own life. And if you fit into that on that day, they’ll make some time for you. Maybe. I just really respect it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lily Collins worked with a “dialect coach” to prepare for her role in ‘Tolkien’.
The 30-year-old actress – who lives in Los Angeles – plays Edith Bratt in the much-anticipated biographical drama about English writer-and-academic J. R. R. Tolkien, famous for penning ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
Lily – whose father is English musician Phil Collins, whilst her mother is his ex-wife, American Jill Tavelman – had to work on losing her Californian accent for her upcoming role because she wanted her voice to be “absolutely spot-on” and felt an “extra level of pressure” to get the voice of Tolkien’s lover and later wife correct.
In an interview with The Observer newspaper, Lily – who was born in England – said: “She [my character] was very creative and very passionate and driven, and he was intellectually stimulated by her. At that time women of her status and in her position weren’t really afforded the opportunity to seek higher. But she encouraged him to continue on his path. It’s very selfless, and, at times, heartbreaking.
“I did worry that people were going to be like, ‘Well, she is actually British, her accent should really be better. There’s an extra level of pressure. I worked with a dialect coach as I needed it to be absolutely spot-on.”
Lily accepts that many people think she has only made it as an actress because of her Genesis star dad Phil, she insists her success has come from her own hard work because she wanted to “carve” her own “path” because it would make the end result “so much more worth it”.
She added: “I’m so proud of my family, but I have also worked really hard to carve my own path and to not have that define me.
“I did get told that I could have other ways in but I never wanted to give anyone the opportunity to say, ‘Well, she only got X or Y because of that.’ I knew it would take longer to do it on my own, but it would be so much more worth it.”
Lily also stars in the film alongside Nicholas Hoult – who plays Tolkien – Colm Meaney, Derek Jacobi and Anthony Boyle.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stefan Dennis receives X-rated “proposals” every day from ‘Neighbours’ fans.
The Australian actor – who plays ruthless businessman Paul Robinson on the Channel 5 soap – is married to Gail Easdale, but that doesn’t stop the show’s female supporters from sending a barrage of raunchy propositions on a daily basis, and while he is “happily married”, he feels “flattered”.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I get proposals almost daily on Twitter. Not always marriage proposals, maybe sometimes slightly risque proposals.
“It’s very flattering, but I don’t act on them. I’m happily married.”
The 60-year-old star – who had a break from ‘Neighbours’ between 1993 and 2004 – is one of the “longest-serving” characters on the popular soap, and likes to engage in some banter with his ‘Home and Away’ rival Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart) about being on an Aussie show for longer.
He said: “[Being the only original cast member since it began in 1985] actually makes me one of the longest-serving characters in Australian television history.
“I beat Ray Meagher by about 18 months – and I let him know it, too!”
Stefan also insisted he would love to “fulfil his dream” by one day getting to portray a character in a film.
He added: “I guess I’d still be a struggling actor. Or I might have fulfilled my dream of acting in films. And that still is my dream – that’s why I set out to be an actor, not because I wanted to be famous.”
And the ‘Neighbours’ veteran also explained that while he has thought about leaving the show, the “grass isn’t always greener” on the other side.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jake Wood was thinking of Dame Barbara Windsor “all the way” while running the London Marathon yesterday (28.04.19).
The ‘EastEnders’ star took part in the 26.2-mile spectacle for his former co-star – who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2014 – alongside several of his other colleagues, and the 81-year-old actress’ husband Scott Mitchell, for team Barbara’s Revolutionaries.
He completed the race in just under six hours, and shared an Instagram clip of himself running over the finish line.
Jake – who plays Max Branning in the BBC One soap – said: “26.2 miles done for Barbara and for Scott. We love you very much.
“To everyone else who ran today, congratulations. All for Dementia Revolution.”
He captioned the clip: “Emotional day, thinking of Barbera and Scott all of the way (sic)”
Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler) was also part of the team, and she took to Twitter to thank fans for cheering her on throughout the event.
She wrote: “Well.. yesterday was the most amazing day. I just want to thank each and every one of you who donated, who cheered us all on, to all of the other @DementiaRev runners who I spoke to along the route. What an achievement. We did it! Thank you everyone (sic)”
Several ‘EastEnders’ stars headed down to the event to cheer on their fellow Walford residents.
Maisie Smith (Tiffany Butcher) tweeted: “So proud of you all running the @LondonMarathon for @DementiaRev managed to catch @Nat_Cassidy + @EmmaBarton + Jamie on camera smashed it guys (sic)”
Clair Norris (Bernie Taylor) wrote: “What a Sunday with @maisie_smith_ @DannyWalters_ @LewissWood @TashaNicola & Toby! Supporting our eastenders family plus every single person who took part! Met some amazing supporters too (sic)”
Barbara’s Revolutionaries – which also featured Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale) and Tanya Franks (Rainie Branning), among others – raised a staggering £135,000 for charities Alzheimer’s Research UK and Alzheimer’s Society, and with Gift Aid the total amount raised is more than £157,000.

OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Thalassitis’ inquest will take place just days before ‘Love Island’ returns.
The reality TV star was tragically found dead aged 26 in woodland near his home last month, and the judicial inquiry into his passing is scheduled to take place on May 29 at HM Coroners Court in Barnet, north London, according to Mirror Online.
‘Love Island’ is expected to return just days later in early June, with show host Caroline Flack revealing last week that the ITV2 programme was due to begin shooting.
Speaking last week, she said: “What’s really exciting about this week is that we start filming for ‘Love Island’ 2019.
“And by the end of the week I’m going to have potentially have seen the cast for this year, which is really exciting.
“And mad that’s it’s come around this quick! So I’ll let you know what happens. It’s going to be a long, hot summer and all that.”
But some have called for ‘Love Island’ to take a break following Mike’s death.
Malin Andersson, who appeared in the 2016 series of the show, asked her Twitter followers: “Do you think Love Island should air this summer? (sic)”
She then wrote: “I reckon the bad outweighs the good (sic)”
Sophie Gradon – who starred on the show the same year as Malin – was found dead in her flat last June.
Malin has previously deemed the show’s aftercare “not enough” after Sophie’s death.
She said: “I don’t blame the show itself, because we asked to go on it, but I think the care received wasn’t enough.
“If someone is crying for help, like Sophie kind of did, and asked for help after it, with a psychiatrist or whatever. I think that they should have noted that and realised.
“We have psych tests before the show, to see if we’re fit to be in the villa. But afterwards, we need more support coming out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ star Tony Slattery has implied that he was abused by a priest when he was just eight years old.
The 59-year-old comedian was a regular on the Channel 4 improvisation show throughout the 90s but his career and personal life imploded in 1996 at the age of 36 when he had a breakdown which was caused by overworking and alcohol and cocaine abuse.
Tony has got better due to several voluntary stints in hospital and learning how to cope with being bipolar after being diagnosed with the mental health condition later in his life.
The comic now believes that a “contributing factor” to his personal problems is an incident that happened with a priest when he was a child that he kept secret for decades and continued to bury on the advice of a psychiatrist.
In a moving interview with The Guardian newspaper in which he spoke about the incident publicly for the first time, he said: “I have a feeling that what might have been a contributing factor is something that happened when I was very young … Not to do with family. A priest. When I was about eight.
“A psychiatrist once said to me, ‘Bear in mind that some things are so deeply buried there is nothing to be gained by an archaeological dig. Keep it buried.’ ”
When asked if that advice “worked for him”, he added: “I think so, because it would have been another bloody thing to deal with, along with the booze, the bipolarity, the overwork, the feeling of being let down by friends, my own bad behaviour. I think that’s enough of a cocktail to be getting on with. Some things are so horrible they serve no purpose to be relived.”
Tony is also certain that his mental illness played a big part in his drink and drug abuse in the 90s as “bipolarity often presents itself as something else, like a rash can present as lupus or Lyme disease”.
‘The Crying Game’ star will forever be grateful for the support of his long-term partner, actor Mark Michael Hutchinson, throughout that dark period of his life and he is amazed that he stood by him no matter what.
Tony – who met Mark when they appeared together in ‘Me and My Girl’ in the mid-80s – said: “He’s kept with me when my behaviour has been so unreasonable and I can only think it’s unconditional love. He’s certainly not with me for my money – we don’t have any money. It’s the mystery of love. It makes me very emotional.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Seann Walsh is to host a new Netflix game show.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant – who caused controversy on last year’s series when he was caught kissing his married pro partner Katya Jones – will front ‘Flinch’, in which contestants face electrocution, or having their “fingers snapped” by mousetraps if they make a quick, nervous movement.
Kieran Doherty, the show’s co-executive producer said: “There’s only one rule in ‘Flinch’: do not flinch. If you do, terrible things will happen to you.
“By ‘terrible’, I mean you might get electrocuted, have your fingers snapped by mousetraps, or be slapped repeatedly in the face by two ginger farmhands. That sort of thing.
“Our games involved animals, water, children, washing machines, cattle prods and giant tractor tyres.”
The game show is set on an abandoned farm in Northern Ireland, and the producers were confident they were onto a winner if they heard the gallery laughing at certain segments.
Kieran added to Broadcast: “The best part of the whole shoot was listening to the gallery and crew laughing as the games played out.
“That’s how we knew we had something. It was too cold to make a phone call outdoors yet people were still laughing.”
The show sees Seann and his fellow presenters Desiree Burch and Lloyd Griffiths pick people to represent them in a game, but if their chosen contestants flinch then both them and the hosts are forced to face the consequences.
‘Flinch’ begins on Netflix on May 3rd.

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Emmerdale’ star Adam Thomas is “content” with two children.
The 30-year-old actor – who is best known for playing Adam Barton in the hit soap – says he and his wife Caroline want to focus on raising their son Teddy, four, and 11-month-year-old daughter Elsie, so are not planning to have more kids.
Adam told OK! magazine: “Two is enough, we’re so happy and content.
“Teddy and Elsie are unbelievable and they’ve brought so much happiness into our lives. We want to concentrate on bringing them up as best as we can.”
Caroline – who married the actor in August 2017 – also admitted they are not looking to have another baby because they like having one boy and one girl.
She said: “It’s nice having one of each, too. If Elsie had been a boy I might have thought about having another to get a girl.
“Elsie adores Ted. She’s always crawling after him and watching what he’s doing, and he tries to make her laugh.
“She’s always giggling and she’s babbling lots, too. It’s a competition to see if she says Mama or Dada first.”
The former ‘Waterloo Road’ actor is famously close with his twin brother Scott, who appeared on ‘Love Island’ 2016, and older brother Ryan, 34, who starred in ‘Coronation Street’.
And Adam is chuffed that his son – who loves sport, dressing up and karaoke – appears to be growing into a budding entertainer and following in the footsteps of the Thomas brothers.
He said: “Teddy loves football, dressing up and karaoke. He’s a proper little entertainer like everyone one of us Thomas brothers are.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Reynolds’ daughters don’t “fully” understand that their dad is voicing Detective Pikachu.
The 42-year-old actor plays the titular character in the first live-action Pokemon franchise movie and has joked that the reason his girls, four-year-old James and two-year-old Inez, are “100 per cent psyched” for one of his movies for the first time, is because they haven’t quite worked out it’s him in the role, though they think Pikachu does “sound like” their dad.
He said: “This is the first time in my life that my kids have been 100 per cent psyched to see something I’m in.
“Maybe the trick is that they haven’t put together or fully understood that it’s me doing the voice.
“My daughter James did say that I sound like … she’s like ‘daddy, you sound like Detective Pikachu!'”
The Canadian star – who shot most of the film in motion capture on sets all over the world – wasn’t able to bring James on set and he won’t tell her it’s actually him until she and her sister have seen it.
He told ‘ET Canada’: “She never actually saw me interacting with any of these people or Pokemon so, she doesn’t really know … and I’m not going to correct her. So, I’m going to let her see the movie, and then I’ll reveal.”
Whilst his kids are pumped for the movie, their mother Blake Lively, 31, isn’t as impressed.
The ‘Proposal’ actor said: “I don’t think she was anything beyond mildly amused.
“When a movie starts it’s all sort of a dream, there’s no like, nothing to grab onto yet … particularly this movie, which I spent only three days on set, and the rest of the time was that motion capture performance.
“They would just come to whatever set I was on.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Hart is excited to star in a US remake of ‘Extreme Job’.
The ‘Night School’ star’s production banner HartBeat is teaming up with Universal Pictures and CJ Entertainment for an adaptation of the hit Korean comedy – which hit the big screen in January – with Tracy Oliver penning the new screenplay.
He said in a statement: “At Hartbeat, we are always seeking fun projects that tell a story for worldwide audiences, and we could not be more excited to be a part of this one.
“Tracy Oliver is such an incredible writer who will surely bring this story to life. We are so thrilled to be working with Universal and CJ Entertainment, who’s still helping me achieve my goal of becoming a K-pop star.”
The movie follows a group of narcotics detectives going undercover in a fried chicken shop to stake out an organised crime gang.
However, things take a twist when the team’s recipe turns the rundown eatery into the hottest joint in town.
Oliver added: “The concept of this film is so unique and Universal Pictures is the perfect home to help bring it to a global audience. I look forward to collaborating once again with their teams.”
The upcoming movie will be the second time Hart has collaborated with CJ Entertainment and Universal on an English language remake of a hit Korean film.
There are already plans underway for a new version of female-driven comedy drama ‘Bye, Bye, Bye’.
Earlier this year, Hart – who will be joining the likes of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jack Black and Danny DeVito in the upcoming ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ sequel – explained he is a workaholic.
He previously said: “[I] have ‘The Upside’, which drops late tonight, and then throughout the weekend. [I’m] about to start filming ‘Jumanji’. [Then I’m] about to get into another movie called Fatherhood.
“I like to stay busy. I embrace it. I’m a workaholic and I’m doing it while I can. [I’m] 39 years old, almost 40, I gotta get it all.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Coleen Nolan thinks ‘Loose Women’ is leading the way with diversity.
The 54-year-old star has called for greater representation within daytime television, but insisted the ITV lunchtime panel show has taken great strides to include women of all ages.
She told Digital Spy: “I think we’ve a long way to go. On TV, really apart from, I guess, well-established newsreaders, there’s only really ‘Loose Women’ that has a completely diverse age range across the board.
“From 20-year-olds, up to women in their 70s. There isn’t that many women over a certain age, especially in prime time, on the telly.”
She added that the programme can still do more though, and noted that everyone is “welcome”.
Asked about bosses bringing in more diverse panellists, Coleen said: “Oh my god, 100%. ‘Loose Women’ is open to everyone.
“Like I say, age, religious belief, colour… There’s absolutely nobody that wouldn’t be welcome on the panel.”
However, the presenter admitted it was important to make sure any new additions can pull their weight and not get overwhelmed by the nature of the show.
She explained: “I’m also a believer that if they come on and they’re brilliant, then they should be regular. But like anyone, if they come on and it’s not for them or it doesn’t work for them, then they shouldn’t be on just for that reason.
“Because I don’t think that does them any favours either. It’s like sometimes when we get really young panellists on… we used to have people that were like, I don’t know, 19 [or] 20.
“And even they would say, ‘Do you know what, it’s really hard because I haven’t experienced some of the topics you’re talking about or haven’t got kids or haven’t been married.’ So it doesn’t work for them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘EastEnders’ have teamed up with Samaritans to work on Sean Slater’s mental health storyline.
Rob Kazinsky reprised his role as the character last Friday (26.04.19) ahead of his alter-ego’s long-awaited return to Albert Square last night (29.04.19), and viewers will learn this this week that Sean has been struggling with a secret he’s been hiding for years.
He will open up to his mum Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and his sister Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner), and the soap have joined forces with the charity – who aim to provide emotional support to anyone in emotional distress, struggling to cope, or at risk of suicide in the UK and Ireland – to portray the plot as sensitively as possible.
Kate Oates, the BBC’s head of continuing drama, said: “The return of Sean Slater gives us a unique opportunity to explore two different aspects of mental health: on the one hand, the results of a long-term and untreated depression; and on the other, a person who has had a lifetime of trying to understand the delicate balance of their own mental health – and is coming out winning.
“The story is beautifully and intelligently played by Robert Kazinsky and Gillian Wright, both of whom cared deeply about getting it right, prompting discussion, and making a difference.”
Lorna Fraser, who leads on Samaritans’ Media Advice Service, is hoping the storyline raises awareness of “the issues surrounding suicide”.
She said: “Given the sensitivities with covering the topic of suicide, we were pleased that ‘EastEnders’ worked with us on Sean’s storyline.
“It’s important that we raise awareness of the issues surrounding suicide and drama can play a powerful role in this.
“Carefully developed storylines can help to generate discussion and can prompt viewers, who may be suffering in silence, to speak out and seek help.
“Sean’s story particularly highlights the importance of talking about our feelings, when we’re struggling to cope.
“If you’re worried about a friend you think may be struggling it’s alright to ask them if they’re ok, for some it can be a huge relief to know that someone’s spotted they may be going through a difficult time and they’re there to listen.”
