OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘EastEnders’ actress Melanie Clark Pullen has died.
The 46-year-old star – who was best known for playing Pauline Fowler’s (Wendy Richard) niece Mary Flaherty on the long-running soap between 1997 and 1999 – sadly lost her battle with breast cancer on March 29, The Sun reports.
In 2020, Melanie was told she was cancer-free after being diagnosed the year before.
She said at the time: “I got the all-clear. I’m cancer-free, which is great, so now it’s all about recovery.”
However, she tragically found out she had a brain tumour in June 2021.
She said: “I was only given the all-clear from cancer 18 months ago and it’s a cruel blow to think that I will now be starting into some kind of treatment again and that this time it will be long term and a permanent fixture of my life.”
As well as the BBC One soap, Melanie starred in ‘Catherine Cookson’s A Dinner Full of Herbs’, had a role in the film ‘Ordinary Love’, alongside Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville, and appeared alongside Richard Attenborough and Jenny Agutter in the remake of the classic ‘The Railway Children’.
The Irish star is survived by her husband Simon and three children.
Broadcaster Maia Dunphy – the former wife of comedian Johnny Vegas – went to the same drama school as the late actress, Trinity College, Dublin, and is among those to pay tribute to Melanie.
She wrote: “Our funny, beautiful, eccentric, creative Goddess Melanie Clark Pullen is gone. What a force of nature, most importantly, what a Mama.
“Your words and your babies live on. Our love and thoughts are with Simon.”
Melanie is survived by her husband Simon Maxwell and their three children.

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams says Simon Cowell “feels less invincible” on this season of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
The former ‘Little Britain’ star shared that his fellow judge on the ITV talent competition – which is returning to screens on Saturday (16.04.22) – now knows “you have to take care of yourself” after the 62-year-old had a brush with danger after he crashed his e-bike in Malibu.
The 50-year-old funnyman told the Daily Star’s Hot TV Column: “I think Simon feels less invincible. It shakes you up, things like accidents.
“You realise you have to take care of yourself.
“He’s sort of lived the same life for a long time.
“He’s been 25 for about 30 years… he’s had that sort of life. And life’s different now, isn’t it?
“I think he might give up the bike, maybe.”
David – who is joined on the judging panel by Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – labelled Simon “a very loving father” and gushed how “lovely” it is to watch him with his eight-year-old son Eric, whose mother is his fiancee Lauren Silverman, 44.
He said: “Simon’s a very loving father. It’s lovely to see him and Eric together, and the happiness that Eric brings.”
The ‘Gangsta Granny’ author – who has eight-year-old son Alfred with ex Lara Stone – believes that kids “bring a sort of new meaning to life” and make you less “selfish”.
David said: “When you have children, they bring a sort of new meaning to life, because up to that point, especially in showbusiness, you’re quite selfish, just trying to get on with your career and all that sort of thing.
“Suddenly you realise it’s not really that important and what’s really important is the happiness of this little person who relies on you for everything.”
In February, an insider claimed that the ‘X Factor’ creator was “lucky to be alive” after he fell from his bike during a ride in the rain.
They said he left the scene with “blood pouring down his face”.

She captioned a video showing the positive pregnancy test, baby scan and her family’s reactions: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine Is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and i couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all……Im having a baby. (sic)”
The 31-year-old beauty recently embarked on a new romance with Jake after splitting from boyfriend Liam Beaumont last summer.

The reality star had previously opened up about feeling the “pressure” to start a family.
She told her Instagram followers: “I feel like in friendship groups, when a lot of your friends are having babies, you just feel a certain amount of pressure to do the same.
“I know that I have felt this. I have felt this pressure and it comes from everyone. It comes from other women which is so strange to say.
“If I was to do a question and answers on here, every single question off women, not really off men, but off women would be, ‘When are you having a baby? When are you having a baby then?’ I feel like there’s the pressure right there. There’s the pressure.”

OHMYGOSSIP — A ‘Coronation Street’ walk-on artist has been fired from his acting agency after he had a selfie with Andi Peters on the show’s set.
Matthew Davidge was axed from Industry Model Management after he used his mobile phone on set, which isn’t allowed, and a spokesperson for the ITV soap said the agency “decided on a course of action”.
A ‘Corrie’ spokesperson said: “A walk-on artist was seen breaching filming protocols and his agent was notified. They decided on a course of action.
“Andi Peters was not aware of this complaint.”
Matthew has been lost for words over his firing, and he is concerned how he will pay his bills.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’m speechless. I’ve worked on the set of ‘Corrie’ on and off since 1986. I’ve never had a complaint and I’ve loved every minute of it. Now, it’s all over.
“You’re not supposed to have your phone out on set but everyone does. It’s a rule that’s never really been enforced.
“When I asked him for a photograph it was all a bit of a laugh and he smiled and said, ‘No problem’.
“The whole interaction took less than a minute. Now I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills.”
Matthew is said to have spotted ‘Good Morning Britain’ star Andi on the show’s set on Friday (08.04.22), and one of his ‘GMB’ colleagues took the picture with Andi’s permission.
The TV presenter was at the ‘Corrie’ studios – which is based in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester – to shoot a competition.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have taken their relationship to the next level by moving in together.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro dancers – who went Instagram official with their romance this week when she shared a picture of the pair holding hands in The Ivy restaurant – are said to be sharing an abode in London together.
A source close to the couple told The Sun newspaper: “Moving in together was the obvious next step for Nadiya and Kai. They’ve grown so close and it just made sense.
“Kai helped Nadiya move in her belongings this week and they’re excited about making their property feel like a shared home.”
The couple are said to have been dating since January, a month after the latest ‘Strictly’ series came to a close.
Nadiya was partnered by outgoing ‘BBC Breakfast’ host Dan Walker during the series, and the TV presenter admitted he and his wife Sarah Walker – who he has been married to since 2001 – discussed the so-called “‘Strictly’ curse” after he was paired with the pro dancer.
He said: “When Sarah saw who I was partnered with, we had to have a laugh about it.
“Obviously, you discuss those things, the curse, but it wasn’t a lengthy discussion. I think we tried to make it light-hearted, to have fun doing it.”
But Dan revealed Nadiya, 32, became close to his family during the series.
He said: “But the first Monday I trained with Nadiya, she came around and had dinner with my family. We’ve been out four or five times to restaurants.
“My family is really, really important to me and always have been and always will be. I didn’t want them to feel excluded.
“So no, being paired with Nadiya was never a problem. Friendship is a blessing. And I think from the moment we first met, Nadiya and I knew we were going to get on.
“But I’ve always introduced her on any social media video I’ve ever done as my ‘professional partner’ because that’s her job. She is very professional.
“We had a good laugh. We messed about with silly sketches during our lunchbreak but we worked really hard.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Carr is keen to sign up for ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
The 45-year-old TV presenter announced in January that he and his husband Paul Drayton had gone their separate ways after 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, and the comedian is now setting his sights on the E4 series.
He said: “I would do ‘Celebs Go Dating’. It’s my favourite show.”
Alan admitted Paul was the first boyfriend he ever brought back to see his parents because he “loved him”.
Speaking on ‘Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers’ podcast, he added: “I had partners before, but my Paul is my first boyfriend that I brought home to see my mum and dad, because I loved him and I didn’t care if my mum and dad said, ‘Get out’.
“It was worth doing that.”
Alan recently admitted he has hired a personal trainer following his split from Paul, and joked he wants a “revenge body”.
Speaking to fitness guru Joe Wicks, he quipped: “I have just gone through a divorce so I told the trainer I want a revenge body. But I think he thought I said I wanted a blancmange body.”
Joe then explained the mental health benefits that Alan will also experience from getting fit, saying: “Tap into the mental health benefits of exercise. If you wake up with energy, you’ve got the time to exercise, you’ll want to do it for your mind to feel less stress, especially when you are going through something emotional.”
Alan announced in January that he had made the “difficult decision” to part ways with Paul.
A spokesperson said: “After 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, Alan Carr and Paul Drayton would like to announce they are separating.
“They have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go their separate ways. We request that their privacy is respected at this sensitive time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Fielding is set to star as Dick Turpin in a brand-new comedy series for Apple TV+.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ co-host will embody the famous highwayman in the comedy-adventure, which will be directed by Ben Palmer and written by Claire Downes, Stuart Lane and Ian Jarvis.
The series is inspired by the real-life story of Turpin, who became a ring leader of thieves in the early 1730s and was notorious for robbing unsuspecting travellers as they strayed off the beaten paths.
He remained active in his criminal activities until 1739, where he was caught red handed for stealing a horse and executed for his crimes.
Turpin left behind a legacy following his death, with his story being adapted and retold numerous times for theatre, film and TV.
The streamer said in a statement: “In this irreverent retelling, Dick is the most famous, but least likely of highway robbers whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair.
“Together with his gang of loveable rogues, Dick rides the highs and lows of celebrity – and does what he can to escape the clutches of the Thief Taker General.”
The TV adaptation will mix real-life events with fantasy and give them a comedic twist.
The 48-year-old stand-up comedian – who is best known for his work with ‘The Mighty Boosh’ comedy troupe alongside Julian Barratt – will aim to retell the exaggerated version of the notorious bandit and his infamous escapades.
The untitled series, which is also executive produced by Noel, has no release date as of yet.

OHMYGOSSIP — Alison Hammond’s head has been transformed into a hot pink, chocolate Easter egg.
Food delivery service Deliveroo and popular Instagram account Love of Huns have teamed up with the ‘This Morning’ host to create the ultimate Easter Hunny egg.
From Good Friday (15.04.22), customers will be able to order the raspberry flavoured Alison-inspired egg, which was crafted using a 3D headshot mould, on Deliveroo.
The limited edition vegan-friendly egg, comes in at just £6.63 – which, spelt backwards, spells out “eggs” – with all proceedings going to the Acorns Children’s Hospice – a charity that provides a network of care and support to life-threatened children and their families across the UK.
Love of Huns, a pop-culture meme account – which started in 2017 – pays tribute to Hun culture from the 00s and 90s, and has become a viral success, amassing 650,000 followers.
In order to find their top Hun, both Deliveroo and Love of Huns created an Instagram poll for followers to vote.
Alongside Alison, in the running for the spot was “mee-cro-wah-vay” BAFTA nominee Nigella Lawson, ‘Elephant in the Room’ songstress Alexandra Burke, and ‘EastEnders’ star Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat Slater.
It was a close call, but Alison came out on top.
Aisha Jefferson, of Deliveroo, said: “We’re so excited to create the UK’s first ever Easter Hunny with the huns behind everyone’s favourite Instagram account, Love of Huns.
“It’s no surprise to us that Alison Hammond was crowned the nation’s number one ‘hun’, she’s an icon! We have loved having her as the inspiration for our limited-edition Easter Hunny and are thrilled to be giving all of the proceeds to Acorns Children’s Hospice – a charity that Alison has raised money for in the past. So be a good egg, hun, and get your hands on one now before they sell out.”
Love of Huns said: “We have loved collaborating with Deliveroo on this hun-tastic Easter egg that not only pays homage to our Queen, Alison Hammond, but also supports Acorns Children’s Charity. Ordinarily we’d ask, ‘You OK hun, you’ve barely touched your Alison Hammond Easter Hunny’, but we’re confident that won’t be needed this Easter because we expect these to sell like hot cakes. Only available until sold out, so get ordering on Deliveroo, babs!”
Available from 15th April until sold out, the Easter Hunny eggs can be ordered exclusively via the Deliveroo app in London (Crouch End and Acton), Manchester and Bristol for £6.63 with free delivery. Search for ‘Easter Hunny Egg’ in the app or online.
Customers can also get their hands on one of a handful of Hammond Hunny eggs, by keeping their eyes peeled on the Love of Huns Instagram account, as they will be giving away eggs, too.

OHMYGOSSIP — Dan Walker turned to Sir Alex Ferguson for advice after announcing his BBC exit.
The 45-year-old TV presenter, who has fronted ‘BBC Breakfast’ for six years, shocked fans with last week’s announcement that he is leaving the show to take on a role as the Channel 5 News anchor.
Dan met with the the former Manchester United manager at the Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree last week, and admitted the 80-year-old star encouraged him to “embrace” his next challenge.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve had a long chat with Sir Alex Ferguson. It’s the first time I’ve seen him for a while and he looks very well.
“He’s given me career advice, which was lovely. He was talking about the move to Channel 5 and talking about life and accepting the next challenge.
“When he was moving to clubs, St Mirren, Aberdeen and all those sorts of things, it’s good to get advice from good people around you.”
The TV host, who is stepping away from his £295,000-£295,999 a year role and replacing Sian Williams at Channel 5, told of his departure earlier this month.
In a video posted on his Twitter, he said: “I have a little bit of news for you.
“In the next few weeks I’m going to be leaving BBC Breakfast and moving to 5News and to Channel 5.
“I’m really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me because I love BBC Breakfast. I love working alongside Sally and I love the team there.
“But Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans and I don’t think opportunities like this come around very often and I can’t wait.
“I’ve also had the incredible privilege of working on some iconic programmes over the last few years, both at the BBC and elsewhere.
“What I love about this deal is I not only get to present the news but also host a whole range of new programmes right across the channel.
“And what an honour to step into the shoes of Sian Williams. I know how popular she is with both the team and the audience.
“All I can say is I will do my very best to maintain her incredibly high standards.”
