The Bill’s Alex Walkinshaw has surprising link to Jodie Marsh

The Bill was one of Britain’s favourite police procedural shows, with the popular ITV drama running from 1983 all the way up to 2010. The programme served as a launching point for several major actors, and fans fell in love with the show over the years. One of the more popular characters on the show was Dale ‘Smithy’ Smith, who rose from the rank of PC to become an Inspector during his run on the show from 1999 until its end. The character was brought to life by Alex Walkinshaw, and it was his second appearance on the show, after previously playing a separate character in an episode broadcast back in 1992. The 51-year-old made his debut in Death in Venice, and the star has since appeared in the likes of Nelson’s Column, McCallum, Waterloo Road and Casualty. Since 2025, he has been appearing in the soap opera EastEnders as Ross Marshall, the long-term boyfriend of Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig). During his time on The Bill, Alex found love with makeup artist Sarah Trusler, and …

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s workmen finalise high security measures at Marsh Farm amid impending move

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Marsh Farm preparations are heavily underway, and as his suggested April move-in date looms closer, workers were spotted erecting an electric fence surrounding the Norfolk property.  The former prince, 66, is currently residing in Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate in East Anglia while he waits for renovations on the five-bedroom farmhouse to be completed.  He was stripped of his titles last October by his brother, King Charles III, and was evicted from his former Grade-II listed Georgian mansion, Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, for around two decades.  On Thursday, 19 March, less than two weeks out from his rumoured moving date, workers were seen driving materials to build an electric fence towards the Wolferton property on a quad bike.  A team of khaki-clad workmen were putting up the new fencing around the perimeter of Marsh Farm. The latest addition comes after removal lorries from Gander & White were spotted delivering Andrew’s belongings to his new house earlier this week, supposedly transporting his art collection from …

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home Marsh Farm’s mysterious history near ‘limitless ooze’

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home Marsh Farm’s mysterious history near ‘limitless ooze’

Royal residences are brimming with fascinating historic tales; if the ‘walls could talk’ they would have a serious story to tell. However, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s soon-to-be new home, Marsh Farm, in Sandringham, seems to have no such history. As a simple forgotten-about farmhouse it’s shrouded in mystery, aside from the rather undesirable tales of oozing mud, of course…  The former farmhouse has stood empty for years, and before that it was home to a farmer who tended to the nearby fields. Its humble existence pales in comparison to Andrew’s former property, Royal Lodge, as well as other residences at Sandringham like The Folly and Wood Farm. © Getty ImagesAndrew will reportedly move into Marsh Farm in April A fleeting mention in a book  The building was given a brief mention in the publication The King’s Homeland (circa 1904), and it reads: “For a few minutes’ stroll along the rough marsh roadway, which branches off from the main road through the village near a farmhouse known as the Marsh Farm, will bring him to the embankment, or sea-wall, which …

Under Salt Marsh filming locations: Where was the Sky thriller filmed?

Under Salt Marsh filming locations: Where was the Sky thriller filmed?

When the body of a nine-year-old boy is uncovered in a drainage ditch in Under Salt Marsh, local teacher Jackie Ellis (played by Kelly Reilly, best known as Yellowstone’s Beth Dutton) believes it may be connected to the disappearance of her niece, who hasn’t been seen for three years. Jackie was a detective when Nessa went missing – a case which cost her her career and destroyed her friendship with former partner Detective Eric Bull, who returns to the remote Welsh town after failing to solve what happened. “Jackie feels like she’s hiding, like she doesn’t want to take up space,” Reilly told Radio Times. “I was working on the last season of Yellowstone when I read [Under Salt Marsh] and I was really in the throes of Beth’s violence and revenge. “Jackie feels like she’s hiding, like she doesn’t want to take up space,” she explained, adding that the more contained Jackie is “more aligned to myself and easier to access than Beth”. Under Salt Marsh sees Jackie and Detective Bull forced to put …
