Published by Daniella Wilson

Ross Kemp has revealed that he has a real life boating trip planned with fellow EastEnders icons Steve McFadden and Paul Bradley. Kemp made the comments during an exclusive interview with Radio Times when asked what other projects he had in the pipeline beyond his much publicised upcoming return to Albert Square. “There’s never been a strategy to any of this, so I don’t see any reason to start now,” he said of his career, before adding that the only thing he was currently committed to was a trip aboard McFadden’s 72ft-long fishing boat with those fellow stars. “It’s sort of a three-men-in-a-boat type of thing,” he explained. “We’ll go off down the Thames and end up having a nice dinner together, which is what gentlemen of our age should be doing.” Asked if there might be room for the trip to be immortalised in a TV documentary, he added: “I think there should be!” Grant will reunite with siblings Phil (Steve McFadden) and Sam (Kim Medcalf). BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron Kemp will be reprising his iconic …

Two soap icons are set to unite in upcoming drama Number One Fan – which is coming soon to 5 – and Radio Times can exclusively reveal a first look trailer for the series. The show is set within the world of morning television, and stars former EastEnders actress Jill Halfpenny and Coronation Street legend Sally Lindsay as TV presenter Lucy Logan and her somewhat intense fan Donna respectively. The trailer – which you can find below – begins with Lucy signing off from one of her broadcasts by saying: “That’s it for today, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Without you, there is no show.” We then cut to Donna speaking to her outside, telling her: “Oh my gosh, it is you. I watch Lucy Logan Live every day. I’m your number one fan.” Soon, Lucy has invited her into the studio to watch them record an episode, but it doesn’t take long before she confesses that “Donna’s starting to creep me out” – which isn’t altogether surprising given she’s leaving …
