Andrew Lancel would be ‘first there’ for The Bill return


Andrew Lancel admits he would be the "first there" if 'The Bill' ever returned.
The 43-year-old actor - who played Detective Inspector Neil Manson from 2003 until the show concluded in 2010 - would jump at reprising his role if the opportunity came up.
He told Digital Spy: "I did seven [years] on it. Would it come back? I'd be first there if it was the same team. It is still on everywhere, thank god. I think 'The Bill' is on every day somewhere in the world.
"Of course, I'm very honoured to be part of that. It's nice when you look back on stuff and I had a good run on telly."
The hunky star - who also did a stint on 'Coronation Street' when he was cast as nasty Frank Foster in 2010 - admits he would love to take on another soap role in the future.
He explained: "If the part's good, of course! I always keep reading rumours of what I'm doing next anyway! I've been very lucky with my work."
Meanwhile, Andrew will next be seen in an upcoming episode of the hospital drama 'Casualty'.

Coronation Street’s Tina McIntyre desperate for baby


'Coronation Street's Tina McIntyre is desperate for a baby.
The stunning barmaid - played by Michelle Keegan - will discover she's pregnant next week following a passionate affair with married man Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne).
However, before she takes the tests, Tina, who was a surrogate mother for Gary Windass (Mikey North) and
Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) last year, is praying the result will come back positive as she' hoping the recovering alcoholic will leave his wife Carla (Alison King) for her.
Michelle said: "She really wants the test to be positive. She hasn't got over the pain of giving her baby to Gary and Izzy and would love another child.
"Peter will have to leave Carla if Tina is pregnant. She knows he's messing her around and being pregnant could change everything. Tina wants to be with Peter and would love them to have a family together.
"I want the test to be negative, though. It's not the right path for her to go down."
Meanwhile, Michelle admits she's shocked by her alter-ego's recent behaviour.
She explained to the TV Times magazine: "I read the scripts and think, 'Stop!' The worst thing for me is that Tina and Carla are friends and I don't think she'd ever do that to her. Tina's personality has changed and I think it's because of everything that's happened to her."
Michelle will bow out of the soap in May when her character is murdered by a fellow Weatherfield resident.

EastEnders’ Jacqueline Jossa wants her character to be serial killer


EastEnders' star Jacqueline Jossa wants her character Lauren Branning to become a serial killer.
The 21-year-old actress - who has played the recovering alcoholic since 2010 - hopes the brunette beauty will become a murderer and will make Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) and Jake Stone (Jamie Lomas) her first victims.
Lucy will be killed off this Spring after being slaughtered by a fellow resident, and Jacqueline admits the identity of the killer is the hot topic among her co-stars on set.
She said: "Everyone keeps saying I'm the favourite to kill Lucy but no one has a clue. She could turn into this raging murderer!"
Jake is also being written out of the BBC One soap in coming weeks after Jamie failed to have his one-year contract renewed, and Jacqueline thinks Lauren would be the best person to kill him off.
She explained: "I don't know how he goes but I've got a little bit of an inkling. Maybe Lauren will do him in, too!"
Show bosses are remaining tight-lipped on who brutally murders Lucy, but the cast is already taking bets on who the culprit will be.
Jacqueline told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone keeps asking each other and we are all putting bets on who we think it will be.
"I've been looking at all the scripts trying to get clues. But there are so many. But then you think, 'Oh no it can't be them', so I've got no idea. The writers aren't letting anything out of the bag."

Game of Thrones cast ‘flattered’ by Madonna costume


The 'Game of Thrones' cast were "flattered" by Madonna's ode to Daenerys Targaryen.
The Queen of Pop recently snapped a picture of herself in costume as Emilia Clarke's character in the hit HBO fantasy drama and the stars of the show were shocked to discover she's a fan.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the 'Game of Thrones' Season 4 UK premiere last night (25.03.14), John Bradley - who plays loveable Samwell Tarly - said: "It's amazingly flattering. When a cultural icon adopts you and endorses you, in a funny kind of way, you know you've hit the nail on the head. It's very flattering."
Sansa Stark actress Sophie Turner also praised Madonna, 55.
She added: "I've been shown a lot of photos of that. It's pretty cool - the Queen of Pop dressing as the Mother of Dragons. It's pretty cool."
Sophie, 18, was left stunned in January when A-list stars Jennifer Lawrence and Aaron Paul cornered her at the Golden Globe Awards and gushed over 'Game of Thrones'.
Quizzed about her most exciting celebrity fan moments, she said: "The coolest was Jennifer Lawrence.
"I've heard that Eva Longoria said in an interview she fancied Jon Snow [Kit Harington], which is quite funny and surprising."
'Game of Thrones' Season 4 begins on Sky Atlantic Monday, April 7, at 2am - screening at the same time as it airs in the US - and will be shown again at 9pm.

Coronation Street’s Anna Windass blackmailed into sex


'Coronation Street's Anna Windass is to be blackmailed into having sex with Pat Phelan.
The cafe worker - played by Debbie Rush - will be left stunned when the dodgy builder (Connor McIntyre) bribes her into sleeping with him in a bid to save her family.
Pat has CCTV footage of Anna's son Gary (Mikey North) beating him up and has threatened to show the police.
He also has Anna's boyfriend Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) locked in a building contract that he's refusing to release him from.
However, the nasty workman will force innocent Anna to go through with the indecent proposal so that she can free Owen and Gary from Pat's control.
However, although Anna has gone through with the bribe, Owen still owes the bank £80,000, which he borrowed to invest in the building project, and could potentially be forced to sell his share of the yard and his home.
When Pat presents Owen with the new contract, Owen says to Anna: "If I sign this then we'll be left with nothing but an £80,000 debt we can't pay."
Anna encourages Owen and Gary to sign the document to which, according to the Daily Star newspaper, Pat replies: "This is good. I'm going to make a killing on this project and will see you two clowns potless.
"I would listen to her if I was you. I wouldn't want all your mum's efforts going to waste."
A massive argument strikes up between Anna and Owen, who has no idea what his lover has done for him, and the future of their relationship hangs in the balance.

Joey Essex to spend Mother’s Day at mum’s grave


Joey Essex will spend Mother's Day (30.03.14) at his mum's graveside.
The 23-year-old hunk was just 10 years old when his mother Tina took her own life aged 38 and, even though a considerable amount of time has passed, the memorable day is still difficult for him and his older sister Frankie.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "It's not a great day for anyone who has lost their mum at any age. I normally go to the cemetery to lay a bunch of flowers and think silent thoughts.
"It is what it is and I can't change the past so I just try to pick myself back up again.
"My mates' mums also give me a lot of support. I can turn to them if I'm having an off-day and do all the things a mum and son might do, like go shopping or have lunch."
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star admits he was in denial about his mum's death for five years, but he's now using his fame to raise money for Child Bereavement UK.
Joey will walk three kilometres in an all-in-one on Sunday for the charity, which supports families when a child dies or when a youngster is bereaved.
He explained: "I wouldn't say I wear onesies that often but it's for a good cause and I hope people will come and join me if they can.
"When I came out of the 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' jungle [last year], I wanted to find a charity that was close to my heart and this [Child Bereavement UK] is it."

Laurie Brett teases ‘brilliant’ Lucy death scripts


'EastEnders' actress Laurie Brett insists there are "brilliant" scenes ahead as Lucy Beale's death storyline kicks off.
The star, who plays Jane Beale in the BBC soap, claims the cast and crew are in the early stages of the storyline, which will see Lucy (Hetti Bywater) die in mysterious circumstances, leaving her father Ian, played by Adam Woodyatt, devastated.
Laurie told Inside Soap magazine: "All I can say is that there are some really brilliant scripts, and Adam Woodyatt's performance is outstanding. I think the nation should prepare themselves for total devastation.
"There are scenes being filmed that, if they don't make you cry, you must have a heart of stone. People need to order Kleenex in bulk!"
The plot will see Ian and ex-wife Jane try to deal with their loss, after the death of young Lucy in emotional scenes.
She said: "Don't forget, Jane brought up Lucy as her own daughter. I think she will be there for Ian, but I'm not too sure how much room Jane will have to be that rock. She's going to be grieving as well."
Laurie returned to 'EastEnders' in January and has appeared on-and-off on the soap, while her character has been involved with Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra).
But she is still committed to her role as Christine Mulgrew on BBC One's 'Waterloo Road' and is set to film the next series in coming months.
Laurie said: "Jane can't stay long, because I have to go back to 'Waterloo Road'. But in terms of Masood, I think he and Jane worked best when they were just friends.
"Their story was originally based on the 1970s sitcom 'Butterflies', where there were two people who should be together, but weren't. I found that more interesting ... I don't think Jane should go backwards."

Alan Titchmarsh quits TV for fear of dying young


Alan Titchmarsh is quitting his chatshow because he doesn't want to die young.
The 64-year-old presenter wants to cut down on his TV work because he doesn't want to risk overdoing it and not being around to watch his grandchildren grow up.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My dad died at 62 and I've outlived him. I just thought, 'Pace yourself, sunshine, don't go at it like a bull at a gate'.
"I'll never stop completely because I'd be bored rigid. But I think I should just ease up as I'd like to be around to see my grandchildren for quite a while."
Alan recently announced the next series of 'The Alan Titchmarch Show', which brings in around a million viewers every day, would be his last because he wants to make sure he leaves on a high.
Alan - who has been a TV regular for four decades - explained: "This is my eighth year and 15th series of the chat show. If you stay doing the same you get stale and the viewers get weary and I'd rather move on.
"I didn't expect to be working this hard at this age. TV is a young person's game."
The final series of 'The Alan Titchmarsh Show', which airs weekdays on ITV, will be filmed later this year.

Sophie Turner worries about Game of Thrones fate


Sophie Turner worries she'll be killed off in 'Game of Thrones'.
The 18-year-old actress, who plays Sansa Stark in the hit fantasy drama, has admitted it's always a gamble to read the show's scripts because beloved characters are slaughtered at any given time.
Sansa's family has been rocked by numerous tragedies over the last three seasons, with her father Ned Stark (Sean Bean), mother Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) and brother Robb (Richard Madden) all being killed in tragic scenes.
Speaking at the 'Game of Thrones' Season 4 UK premiere at London's The Guildhall last night (25.03.14), Sophie exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I worry about every character, but I do worry about my own. It's the ambiguity of it all that makes the show so exciting. It's definitely a worry when you get the script - you're like, 'Please don't say I die!' Fingers crossed I don't."
Meanwhile, Liam Cunningham, who plays Davos Seaworth, also weighed in on the drama's killer instinct - revealing it's difficult to plan ahead as an actor working on 'Game of Thrones'.
He explained: "It could be awful. You can't plan ahead, but that's what's great about the show - you invest in these characters and they're suddenly whipped away from you. All you have to do is go on YouTube and see how much the audience is invested in these characters, and then they're whipped away. That's life, isn't it?"
The hit fantasy drama is back for its fourth season on Sky Atlantic next month and fans can look forward to seeing new episodes even sooner as the channel has confirmed plans to simulcast the show at the same time as it airs in America.
'Game of Thrones' Season 4 begins on Monday, April 7 at 2am and will air again at 9pm.
