OHMYGOSSIP — Ted Reilly has no idea how Danny-Boy Hatchard will leave ‘EastEnders’.
The actor – who plays Johnny Carter on the BBC soap – may be close friends with his on-screen brother, who announced he was leaving the show in August, but his pal has only offered tiny hints to him as to how his alter ego Lee Carter will depart Walford in the coming months.
Ted said: “It’s sad for me personally because I love Danny-Boy. He’s still around at the moment but he hasn’t told me how he’s leaving
“He’s teased his exit a little bit, but I think he wants it to feel real when we film it.”
But even without Lee’s presence on the show, Ted has promised there’s still a lot of drama in store for his on-screen family.
He said: “There are lots of exciting things happening for the Carters – the next year is going to be big.”
Ted also stated that he now feels fully settled into the show after joining the soap in April, thanks in particular to the stars who play the rest of the Carter family.
He told RadioTimes.com: “It’s a welcoming cast. The Carters created that family atmosphere for me straight away.”
But the actor is amused by show bosses’ attempts to keep the growing baby bump of Kellie Bright, who plays Carter family matriarch Linda Carter, hidden from viewers.
He joked: “It’s a fun little game to guess how they’re going to hide the bump. Will it be a laundry basket, a cushion or a handbag?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have “never” had an argument.
The ‘This Morning’ presenters – who are regularly seen doubled over in a fit of hysterics on the breakfast show – have revealed during their seven years of hosting the popular programme together they have not had a single row.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ on Wednesday (05.10.16), the 54-year-old silverfox said: “I can honestly say hand on heart we have never had a row.”

The blonde beauty – who was pictured sporting a T-shirt confessing her love to her colleague, whilst Phillip was also sporting a matching top on a recent vacation – said: “I think the fact we have to work together, we do so many hours together, then the fact when we’re off in the summer, we spend a lot of time together, we just get on so well, we think the same way.”
Phillip – who has also presented ‘Dancing On Ice’ with Holly – has revealed they “don’t” talk about work off screen.
He confirmed: “When we’re on holiday, if we go out for dinner we don’t talk about work.”
And Phillip is grateful his wife, Stephanie Lowe, and Holly’s husband Dan Baldwin also boast a good friendship like they do.
He said: “We’re lucky that our partners get on so well too.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis has “finally decided” on her son’s name.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress – who is expecting her first child with her former boyfriend Jeremy McConnell – previously voiced her intention to call her baby Albi in tribute to her late grandfather Albert, but then changed her mind, and she’s now settled on both first and middle names for the tot.
She said: “I’ve officially decided on my son’s name! The first name is going to stay as the one that means the most to me. The middle name I want to be something for myself, something I’ve picked for him on my own – it’s a bit different and quirky.
“Everyone loves the first name, however, when he arrives there’s a chance I could switch his first and middle name around but either way, I’ve finally decided.”
And the 23-year-old star intends to give the baby her own surname.
She explained in her blog for OK! Online: “I’m really proud to be able to give him my family name too. My family have been amazing and done everything for me and my little boy, so I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“It was a hard challenge but for a while now I’ve been calling him by this name. It’s kind of stuck and I can’t imagine calling him anything else now. I can’t believe I have this little life in me – it takes my breath away.”
Stephanie has been sunning herself on a ‘babymoon’ and is having such a good time, she’s extended her break twice.
She said: “I’ve only gone and extended my holiday! I’ve cancelled two flights home now – I promise I’m going to come home soon!
“When I do eventually return, all my work will be picking up again so I just wanted to make sure I had a proper break. “By the time I get home I’ll be so, so relaxed and ready for everything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Steve McFadden is hoping Phil’s liver transplant isn’t going to be the end of the character on ‘EastEnders’,
The 57-year-old actor’s alcoholic alter ego is to undergo the operation to save his life from liver cirrhosis with his son Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) donating his organ for the surgery.
Phil is keeping his fingers crossed that the writers make the op a success as he doesn’t want to leave Walford after 27 years on the BBC One soap.
In an interview with the RadioTimes.com, he said: “I do know that actors get concerned about the future and want to know what’s happening six months in advance. So there is the temptation to want certain types of storylines. But I’ve always opened my arms to the nature of soaps – you don’t know the end until you get to the end.
“I’m hoping it’s not the end for Phil. I’m hoping he’s going to stay sober and that all goes well. Although, of course, happy endings are only ever temporary in soaps.”
Steve was recognised for his incredible performances on the show this year when he won the Best Actor accolade at the Inside Soap Awards this week.
After so many years on the series, the TV stalwart insists he still gets on set with the same drive to deliver great scenes as he did when he began life on ‘EastEnders’ as part of the Mitchell family with Grant (Ross Kemp) and Peggy (Dame Barbara Windsor).
He said: “I try and do a good job every day, even if it’s just the smallest scene.”

Connor – who took home the Best Bad Boy prize from the Inside Soap Awards this week – said: “In the strictest definition, Pat is a psychopath. He’s myopic and, when it comes down to it, every situation is just about Pat. I’ve met a couple who are genuinely afraid.

OHMYGOSSIP — Anastacia has returned to rehearsals for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ following her injury.
The 48-year-old singer was left in agony after she tore mastectomy scar tissue during training with her professional partner Brendan Cole last week.
The ‘I’m Outta Love’ hitmaker was unable to take part in the dance-off because of the injury, meaning Melvin Odoom was ejected from the show as he and his partner Janette Manrara received the fewest votes from the public.
Anastacia has now been given the all-clear to return to the ballroom by specialist medical staff and she and Brendan will dance a Viennese waltz on Saturday (08.10.16).
The blond beauty – who underwent a double mastectomy to cure her of breast cancer – must take “appropriate medication” to perform, and Brendan has been told to carefully choreograph the routine so not to cause further injuries.
Anastacia is delighted she has been given the go-ahead to keep dancing as she is performing to raise awareness of the illness and is donating her appearance fee to Cancer Research UK.
A spokeswoman said: “She is doing this to raise money for breast cancer, so unless a doctor tells her she can’t carry on, quitting would never be an option. Anastacia and Brendan are now in rehearsal.
“Anastacia visited the clinic of a specialist in breast reconstruction surgery. The doctor again confirmed that there was a tear in the scar tissue, which although painful is not permanent. She was given the all clear to dance this weekend with the caveat that the routine is carefully choreographed and she has been given the appropriate medication.
“Brendan was with her for her appointments and they have been filmed for this weekend’s episode.”
After the weekend, Anastacia will return to the specialist clinic to have another appointment to check that everything is OK and she will be monitored throughout her time on the BBC One programme.

He said: “That’s what you can look forward to if you keep us in the competition, we’re doing it in the buff.
“We haven’t told the management or the executives of the show yet.”
