Actress Diane Parish once played a very different EastEnders character before taking on the role as Denise Fox in the soap, as she admitted she found it ‘excruciating’

The actress has played her legendary character since 2006 and has become a fan favourite. She has been involved in huge storylines over the years from a string of failed romances to faking her own death. Denise is currently dealing with the fallout of the Christmas Day murder as she buried Keanu Taylor’s body under the cafe alongside the rest of The Six.

However, it turns out Denise is not the first character Diane has played on the BBC soap. Back in 1998, the actress played singer Lola Christie, who was introduced as Mick McFarlane’s girlfriend. Diane has since revealed the character just wasn’t for her and found it “excruciating”.

Speaking on the TV programme Secrets of The Square, Diane said: “It was the most excruciating role. I don’t sing, I’m not a singer and it was horrible! Oh, it was awful. I remember Patsy Palmer came up to me at one point and she goes: ‘Oh don’t worry, it sounds really good, don’t worry about it’. I thought: ‘It don’t, Patsy!’”

Diane, who only played Lola for a year, added: “She goes: ‘No, it’s really good, it is!’ She’d just be so positive. The role wasn’t for me.” She went on to take roles in Holby City and DC Eva Sharpe in ITV drama The Bill. Dianne appeared on the show from 2002 to 2004 and starred alongside her future EastEnders husband Scott Maslen as DS Phil Hunter.

The actress scooped up the Royal Television Society’s Best Actress award in 2001, for her critically acclaimed role in TV series The Babyfather. Yet in 2006 she received a call from EastEnders bosses about playing Denise. Away from TV screens, Denise is a proud mother to two children; daughters Kaya and Kenya.

When asked if she would ever consider having more children in the future, she told The Mirror: “No way! I’ve shut up shop. I’m done. I’m no spring chicken, you know. I feel very fortunate for having my lovely little girls. We’re a very happy family.” She shares her two children with her ex-husband Sebastian Parish, an IT specialist. Denise is generally quiet about her private life but revealed during an appearance on Loose Women in 2018 that she had split from Sebastian.

The actress explained that her marriage had been crumbling the last time she had featured on the ITV talk show, and she set the record straight when she returned as a guest on the show. She told the panellists: “The last time I was here, I sort of got a bit ambushed with [questions about marriage] and, for the sake of my children, I didn’t want to go into the break up with me and their father, and I’m usually quite a private person.

“I just wanted to protect my daughters by not discussing that, and I’ve been single quite a long time, I’ve been having fun, but I have now met the man of my dreams.” Denise met then-boyfriend Gerry Zucarello in 2017 and announced their engagement a year later.

Lady Colin Campbell Reportedly Calls Prince Harry Pathetic in Her New Book

Lady Colin Campbell has just published a book about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In the book, the Jamaican-born British author reportedly named the Duke of Sussex “pathetic.”

As reported by Daily Mail, Campbell has written the new tell-all book, “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story,” in spite of the fact that it is not known whether she has ever met the royal couple.

The book ventures to such an extreme as to claim that Harry is “pathetic” on the grounds that he has allegedly permitted the Duchess of Sussex to cost him a lot of lifelong friendships.

MARKLE’S ENCOUNTER WITH A GIRL

Campbell claimed an insider disclosed to her that during the wedding ceremony of Charlie Van Straubenzee, Harry’s best friend, to Daisy Jenks, Markle “froze out” other visitors at the event.

“A girl went up to Meghan, introduced herself, and said how beautiful she thought she was,” Campbell wrote. “She said she knew it was Meghan’s birthday and wished her a happy birthday.”

The author added that Markle just looked at the young lady as though she “had committed a great faux pas” by conversing with her, and afterward the Duchess walked off.

REALLY RUDE

Campbell claimed that somebody who witnessed the incident said Markle was extremely impolite. Another source told Campbell that more awful was to follow at the wedding breakfast.

Campbell wrote that another girl approached Markle to tell her how much she respected her. The girl also told the Duchess how great she thought she was that she and Harry were hitched.

The book also alleged that the Duchess asked to use an emerald and diamond tiara.

MARKLE’S DEMANDS

“Meghan’s response?” Campbell added, “She looked her up and down, turned away without saying a word her out for the rest of the wedding breakfast.”

Meanwhile, as reported by Page Six, Campbell also claimed that strains initially started between the royals when Markle demanded that she be able to don white to her wedding, even though palace officials had requested her to pick cream.

Thus, Prince Philip reportedly named Markle “Tungsten.” The book also alleged that the Duchess asked to use an emerald and diamond tiara.

According to the outlet, Campbell called Markle “a total opportunist.” The author also called Harry “weaker” than his wife and that she will make his life sorrowful since he has no strength of character to abandon her.

As reported by Inquistr, Harry and Markle have not released any comment about the book. Meanwhile, the couple reportedly signed a public speaking deal with the agency, which represents both the Clintons and the Obamas.

Coleen Nolan says her previous Loose Women exit was down to ‘certain people behind the scenes that weren’t being nice’ as she addressed panel bad blood claims

Coleen Nolan compared the Loose Women studio to Match of the Day but says life would be dull if there wasn’t disagreements.

The ITV daytime show has forever been dogged by rumours of feuds and fallings out but one of the mainstays insists there is no bad blood at all and they’re all just committed to making great TV. Coleen says just because the woman don’t all go for evenings on the town together, it doesn’t mean they don’t get on.

She says the team all “get on” and agrees with her co-star Kaye Adams, who said last year that she gets fed up that Loose Women regulars after often asked whether there are rows between them, and said it is a always barrel of laughs behind the scenes. Coleen says people must not mistake intense debate for annoyance.

“We have to have little disagreements because otherwise it would be a boring show,” she told OK! Magazine. “If there’s a topic we all agree on, it’s boring, so we don’t do it. When there’s a little bit of something between Janet and me, or anyone else, every time we go to break we say ‘that’ll be on the front covers this week!’.”

Coleen insisted there is no problem at all between the panel, and said she didn’t enjoy seeing women pitted against other women. “I sometimes get upset because I don’t the like them saying, ‘You can’t believe what you see on the television’, or get us to hate each other,” she said. “It never happens with shows featuring men.

“You don’t see a story about Match of the Day saying ‘Gary Lineker’s at war with this person or that person’ do you? Hand on heart, we all get on. But I live in Cheshire so it’s not like I just pop out for a drink with them. So no, we’re not always out on the town together, but God help everyone when we are because when we do go out, it’s wild!”

She opened up about her short-lifted departure – and says it was people off camera that caused her to make the decision, and not any of her co-stars. In 2011, Coleen announced that she was departing the show so she could concentrate on other TV programmes but it wasn’t long before she was back.

She continued: “I went through a period where I left for a while because I’d fallen out of love with it a bit and I needed to take a break. “It was because certain people behind the scenes weren’t being nice and I wasn’t enjoying it. Then those people went onto other things and great people came in, and I’ve loved it ever since.”

George Clooney attacks treatment of Meghan Markle: ‘she’s being pursued and vilified’

He spoke very passionately

 

George Clooney has said the Duchess of Sussex is being “pursued and vilified” and compared her treatment with that of Princess Diana. The Hollywood actor is a friend of Prince Harry and Meghan, and he and his human rights lawyer wife Amal Clooney attended the royal wedding in May last year. Speaking at an event in Los Angeles, he said: “I do want to say, I just saw this piece. They’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere, she’s been pursued and vilified. She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she is being pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it’s history repeating itself.”

George spoke in support of pregnant Meghan

He added: “And we’ve seen how that ends. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see that. You’re taking a letter from a daughter to a father and broadcasting it everywhere. She’s getting a raw deal there, it’s irresponsible. I’m sort of surprised by that.” His comments came after he was asked about Harry and Meghan’s royal baby, and if he would be asked to be godfather.

A number of the Duchess’ close friends recently spoke out in support of her following a surge of negative press and comments. Talking to People, one said: “Meg has always sat silently sat back and endured the lies and untruths.” The interviewee continued: “We worry about what this is doing to her and the baby. It’s wrong to put anyone under this much emotional trauma, let alone when they’re pregnant.”

A number of Meghan’s other close friends have also spoken out

The concerned comments were published as part of a report on Wednesday, which featured interviews with some of Meghan’s closest friends and former colleagues, who all wanted to remain anonymous. The friend added: “Meg spends so much time taking care of everyone else – we want to stand up against the bullying down. Harry is an incredible husband and takes such good care of her. We feel so lucky that someone’s come into her life who takes care of her the way she takes care of all of us. Now we want to stand up against the global bullying we are seeing and speak the truth about who our friend – a mother-to-be – really is.”

Prince Harry ‘takes on Diana’s mantle to become locked in battle with Royals’

Prince Harry has become so focused on carrying on his mother Princess Diana’s mantle that he runs the risk of perpetuating her feud with the Royals instead of ending it an expert has claimed

Prince Harry is letting “history repeat itself” as he follows in his mother’s footsteps by battling with the Royals a royal expert has said.

The Duke of Sussex has been accused of putting too much effort into aiming criticism at the Royal Family and taking on the role that his mother left behind after her ongoing battle with “The Firm” while she was still alive. Harry spoke on Princess Diana and her legacy in his memoir Spare as he addressed wanting “peace” within his family.

Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry is in danger of simply perpetuating the situation if he continues to focus on what Diana endured. Talking exclusively to the Mirror Tom said: “Harry’s comment in Spare that he ‘wants peace’ with the royal family for the sake of his mother is undoubtedly heartfelt, but in being so focused on Diana, Harry is actually allowing history to repeat itself.”

Quinn then said how Harry has picked up the “mantle” for his mother as an adult. He said: “Diana famously fell out with ‘the firm’ as she called it and spent much of her adult life criticising an institution she felt had let her down. Harry has taken on his mother‘s mantle by carrying on exactly the same kind of criticism.”

Harry – who lost his mother in 1997 when he was just 12 years old after she was involved in a fatal car crash in Paris, France – has spoken at length about the impact of his mother’s death. Quinn added: “He hates that he feels he has to do this and he would like to be close again to his father King Charles and his brother Prince William, but like his mother he’s locked into a battle that has become an obsession for him.”

Tom also said Harry’s time in the military served as an escape for him from the ongoing battle he has had with his emotions not just over his mother but with feelings of isolation and not fitting in throughout his life. He added: “Harry‘s statement that fighting in Iraq was better than remaining in Britain makes complete sense given that we know one of the few periods in his life during which he was happy was his time in the military. Fighting in Iraq gave him a sense of camaraderie that he has never had with his family.”

Oprah Winfrey Was Slammed For Saying This About Prince Harry And Meghan Markle After The Queen’s Death

Oprah Winfrey has come under fire for defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and suggesting that the couple could “make peace” with the royal family after Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

The 68-year-old talk show host made the controversial comment in an interview with Extra during the Toronto Film Festival, when asked whether she thinks the Queen’s passing could potentially “heal some wounds” within the royal family, after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally stepped down as senior royals back in January 2020, and after her own bombshell interview with the couple (which Prince William is said to still be very angry about) in March 2021.

“Well, this is what I think,” Oprah began. “I think in all families — you know, my father passed recently, this summer — and when all families come together for a common ceremony, the ritual of, you know, burying your dead, there’s an opportunity for peacemaking. And hopefully, there will be that.”

However, her comments didn’t land well on social media, with many people taking to Twitter to slam the talk show host and essentially blame her for being responsible for some of the fallout within the family due to the aforementioned explosive interview.

Oprah is the real villian in this entire scenario from the start. Who made, by far, the most money from it? Oprah! It’s about Oprah and not making significant contribution to Harry & Meghan. Current events concerning the Royal Family are for saying farewell, Queen Elizabeth II.

— David ‘Griz’ Rowland (@EdmontonianMan) September 13, 2022

“Oprah has a lot to answer. She is directly responsible for creating a snowball that accelerated the demise of #QueenElizabeth,” one Twitter user wrote. “Oprah forgets she started this. Maybe an apology would help with the peacemaking,” wrote another. Another said: “Oprah is the real villain in this entire scenario from the start. Who made, by far, the most money from it? Oprah! It’s about Oprah and not making significant contribution to Harry & Meghan. Current events concerning the Royal Family are for saying farewell, Queen Elizabeth II.”

Great to see Oprah Winfrey call for a healing of massive rifts in the Royal Family.. that she enabled.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 13, 2022

Piers Morgan also entered the chat (we knew it wouldn’t be long ’til he weighed in) writing: “Great to see Oprah Winfrey call for a healing of massive rifts in the Royal Family … that she enabled.”

Morgan also talked about Oprah’s “hypocrisy” when speaking with Petronella Wyatt and Lady Victoria Hervey on his Talk TV show, Uncensored, on Tuesday, September 13th. “Let’s talk for a moment, Oprah Winfrey popped up yesterday in an interview. She popped up saying she hopes that this family, that the death of the Queen can help heal the rifts the Royal Family,” the former Good Morning Britain presenter began.

 “I thought, ‘Are you kidding? You’re the one that started the rift! You enabled these two to go on national television and let them, without challenging any of their statements, let them spray down the royals.’”

Lady Victoria Hervey added: “She needs to stay away! She’s the reason. When Prince Philip was dying in hospital they did that interview. It’s a disgrace!” Piers responded by saying, “I’m more interested in Oprah’s hypocrisy where she says, ‘I hope they can heal the rift.’ Well, Oprah, you did nothing to stop that rift.”

 

 

Lady Colin Campbell claims Meghan Markle and Rebekah Vardy are ‘women with no apparent talent’ who ‘think they know everything’

Meghan Markle and Rebekah Vardy are both ‘women with no apparent talent’ who ‘think they know everything’, Lady Colin Campbell has claimed.

Appearing on GB News today, the royal expert suggested the Duchess of Sussex, 40, who is currently living in her $14 million California mansion having stepped back from royal duty last year, is ‘very committed to being self serving.’

After comparing the mother-of-two to Rebekah Vardy, she told Mark Dolan: ‘We seem to have a whole slew of really rather tiresome, very opinionated women, who seem to have made their way in life through talents which are not immediately apparent, and they think they’re the best thing since sliced bread. And they know everything.’

Lady Colin’s comments come as it was claimed Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan won’t be visiting the Queen when she takes her summer break at Balmoral despite an invite.

Speaking to GB News, Lady Colin said: ‘She’s very calculating and I think that if he had not been a Prince Henry of Wales, she wouldn’t have given him two minutes, much less the length of time she intends to give him.

Asked on her opinion of Meghan was committed, she said: ‘Yes, of course, she was very committed to being self serving, but only self serve. Public service? Not a chance.

‘This is a woman who, in my opinion, everything is calculated and it all comes down to status, and bucks and attention.’

She added: ‘Notice how dexterously she moved him from the royal family to California…she has clearly decided that she wasn’t going to give her time or her energy to the British people or was serving humanity when she could serve her financial interests in a community property state, where in the event of a divorce she gets a whopping 50 per cent.’

California is a community property state, meaning all assets acquired during the marriage by either spouse are split equally, unless there is a pre-nup.

Lady C added: ‘If she gets something better, he will be toast. If she never finds anything better…that’s the modus operandi of people who are very opportunistic, narcissistic and exploitative….

‘I said in my book that I was told the royal family’s great fear was that Harry would actually end up doing something rather dramatic and final.

‘The people who know him very well, there was the fear that his passions would prevail over the limited amount of sense that he has. He’s not the brightest star in the constellation.’

On the couple’s business deals, she said: ‘I’ve been reliably informed that the figures that have been quoted were pie in the sky.

‘Netflix and Spotify have not given them anywhere near the amount of money that they would like the world to [believe]…

‘No, I think that she is in some ways on a very slippery slope, shades of Rebekah Vardy.

‘You know, the chickens come home to roost when you are as artificial as these women are.’

Asked about the court case involving Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney, she said: ‘I felt it was insanity.

Asked if Rebekah was similar in character to Meghan Markle, she said: ‘Yes, peas of the same pod.

‘And I think they have exploited similar talents to arrive where they have arisen at…they’re so pretentious.’

Her comments come as it emerged the Queen reportedly asked the couple and their two children, three-year-old Archie and Lilibet, one, to stay at her Scottish residence and told royal staff to prepare.

It was said that the Sussexes would not have to spend time with other royals such as Charles and William.

However the couple, who last went to Balmoral in 2018, are said to not be planning to attend the Scottish Highlands estate over the next few months.

A Balmoral insider told The Sun and Page Six: ‘Staff have been told to expect the full list of royals including Harry, Meghan and their children.

‘They are preparing for the Sussexes.’

Another sources is reported to have said: ‘I would be stunned if they did turn up.’

It is understood the couple are planning to stay in the United States before the release of Harry’s memoir.

PageSix reports that Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, are not expected to join the Queen because they have not been invited.

The Spice Girls reunited with the help of David Beckham for Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday in April.

He might be the world’s biggest Spice Girls superfan, but David Beckham doesn’t want to give the girl group’s followers false hope. In a new interview with Variety, the 49-year-old former soccer star and husband of Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) sets the record straight about a rumored reunion for the British band.

David was responsible for getting the girl group back together at Victoria’s 50th birthday bash in April. They even sang a few bars of their hit songs, “Stop” and “Mama,” at the soiree. However, Posh won’t be reuniting with Sporty (Melanie Chisholm), Baby (Emma Bunton), Scary (Mel Brown) or Ginger (Geri Halliwell) onstage.

“Unfortunately, that’s not happening,” David shares. “Victoria was so pleased to see the girls, and it was a massive part of her life, the girls, but obviously, all the girls have got their own things going on. They will do certain things together at certain times. But Victoria’s full on with her beauty and fashion businesses. If anyone’s busier than me, it’s her.”

David didn’t quash all hope though. He added one little nugget for fans, saying, “There’s nothing more that I’d like to see than the girls on stage again, so I’ll still work at it, don’t worry!”

David insisted that he was “the most excited of anyone” over the birthday party reunion.

“It was an amazing moment,” he adds.

In May, David spoke about the mini-Spice Girls reunion at Victoria’s party during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying, “I’m their biggest fan. I tend to not tell my wife that. I tend to tell her that I fancied her. But she was a Spice Girl. I love that about her.”


The group reunited without Victoria for a United Kingdom tour in 2019. There has been talk of future reunions over the years, though nothing has been confirmed. Their last performance together as a group of five took place at the Olympic closing ceremonies in London in 2012.

In January, Mel B, who is known for spilling the beans on the Spice Girls, spoke about a potential reunion for the group’s 30th anniversary while on The Jennifer Hudson Show.

“I’m such a blabbermouth. I get told off all the time for announcing stuff that I’m not meant to announce,” Mel B admitted. “But what I can say is we’re definitely working on something together — all five of us. And by me just saying that I’m probably going to get into trouble again.”

Harper Beckham donned one of her mum’s most recognisable fashion trends (Instagram)

It’s no secret that Harper Beckham is a total daddy’s girl. The youngest of Victoria and David Beckham’s brood is often sharing sweet moments with her footballer father, from joining him on the pitch to travelling the world by his side.

Honouring her husband on Father’s Day on Sunday, former Spice Girl Victoria shared a series of sweet photos of her children in tribute to the “best daddy”.

She wrote; “Happy father’s day to the best daddy! We all love you so much! You are our everything [heart emojis] so many kisses.” 

In one sweet photograph shared by the fashion designer, David and Harper looked adorable together as the doting dad wrapped his arm around his daughter’s shoulder.

12-year-old Harper looked chic and summery in a pretty floral mini dress, complete with a delicate broderie neckline and feminine puffed sleeves. The youngest Beckham swept her honey-blonde hair into a sleek low ponytail, beaming alongside her father as the duo enjoyed the sunshine on a beach.

Beside them was a sandy paddleboard, suggesting the sporty pair had enjoyed a spot of watersports during their family date. “Harper is the cutest Daddy’s girl,” penned a fan in the comments of Victoria’s post.

“He seems like the hands-on parent,” shared another fan. “A good dad. David is the perfect role model.”

Harper and David’s daddy-daughter moments

At just 12, Harper has already ticked off several things off her bucket list that most people dream of. From gracing the front row at Fashion Week, to having her own tiny property at her parent’s Cotswolds estate and partying with the Spice Girls, David and Victoria’s mini-me is arguably one of the coolest celebrity children.

Last week, David and his mini-me enjoyed time in Miami together supporting his football team, Inter Miami FC.

In an interview back in 2017, David said: “We want to show our kids love. I got criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day… I kiss all my kids on the lips.”

But I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.”

He finished by adding: “We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and you know, we’re very affectionate with them.”

LADY COLIN CAMPBELL was speaking to GB News’ Dan Wootton when she unleashed a scathing rant aimed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s reported anger at the news their children won’t be granted HRH status.

While King Charles III is expected to anoint Prince Archie, three, and Princess Lilibet, one, in the near future, it’s widely reported the Sussex children won’t be granted HRH status. According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “furious” at the decision, but it has sparked debate among royal commentators as to whether it is the right call given the Sussexes departure from leading figures in the Royal Family. In fact, Lady C told Dan Wootton that any pressure put on the new King to grant HRH status to the youngsters was “vulgar” and “tasteless”.

Referring to the reports, GB News’ Dan first made his stance on the issues clear, saying to Lady C: “I have to admit, Lady C, it’s very bizarre to me.

“I mean why on earth given the way they feel about the institution, given the way they seem to feel about Britain, why on earth would they want to give their children an HRH title and make them a prince and a princess?

“I mean, it just seems bizarre,” he added, prompting Lady C to reply: “But they are bizarre! They are opportunistic, it’s all about money and recognition and status and to make more money and get more attention.

“Let’s remember that there is a precedent for the grandchildren of a monarch to not have the use of prime and princess.

Kate and William’s demeanour showing ‘gigantic difference’ from Harry and Meghan

The Prince and Princess of Wales had a remarkably different attitude to the Sussexes when they greeted the public at Windsor, a body language expert has noted.“Let us remember Lord Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, they are the grandchildren of Her Late Majesty. So there is absolutely no reason why the King should feel pressurised by the neo-puritanical American press and the neo-puritanical supporters of Harry and Meghan who are allowing themselves to be used to denigrate Anglo-Saxon culture not only here but in the United States of America.

“There are issues that are rather larger, political issues, than just the titles of the children,” she ranted.

Lady C continued: “But where Harry and Meghan are concerned, they want to have their cake and eat it at the same time and they would like everybody to be aware of the fact and throw it in everybody’s face ‘Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’.”

The former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star criticised: “Prince Archie! Prince Archibald is fine but Prince Archie – is this Archie Bunker come to life? And Princess Lilibet, who ever heard of a princess having a nickname as a proper name?

“The whole thing is tasteless, vulgar and just shows the total lack of appreciation of what being royal is all about.

“It’s not about making money and it’s not about capitalising, it’s about using their god-given position to serve the British people and the British Commonwealth – not to serve themselves and I think the whole thing stinks to high heavens.”

Weighing in with what she thinks King Charles should do in response to the reported uproar, Lady C went on: “Personally, I do not think that King Charles should allow those children to be called Prince or Princess anything!

“I think that the situation should be replicated as to what has happened with the Wessex children, that should be the beginning and the end of it.

 

“There is already a precedent. Harry and Meghan are not any more special and their children are no more special than the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their two children, I think that’s it in a nutshell.”

Lady C’s outrage comes after a source told The Sun: “Harry and Meghan were worried about the security issue and being prince and princess brings them the right to have certain levels of royal security.

“There have been a lot of talks over the past week. They have been insistent that Archie and Lilibet are prince and princess.

“But they have been left furious that Archie and Lilibet cannot take the title HRH. That is the agreement — they can be prince and princess but not HRH because they are not working royals.”
