EastEnders star Samantha Womack has been ‘warned’ by fans in the street about her boyfriend Oliver Farnworth, due to his role as serial killer John Sugden in Emmerdale

EastEnders’ Samantha Womack has revealed that she gets stopped in the street and warned about her Emmerdale actor boyfriend, Oliver Farnworth, who plays the role of a serial killer in the ITV soap.

Samantha, 52, is best known for playing the fan-favourite role of Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders, but was sadly killed off on New Year’s Day in 2017 along with her sister Roxy. They both died in a dramatic swimming pool accident at Ronnie’s wedding to Jack Branning.

Samantha’s partner Oliver is now involved in his own soap scandal as he has committed several murders in the Dales as character John Sugden. The former Ronnie Mitchel actress has since revealed that she has been ‘warned’ about him as she gave an insight into their relationship.

She told The Sun: “I do get warned about him. But Oli is actually so strict about confidentiality. So he comes back every few days, and he won’t tell me what’s happening with anything. He’s like ‘I just can’t let you know,’ and I’ll say ‘come on, I’m not going to tell anybody.’”

Samantha continued: “But I really think this is one of his favourite jobs to date. I visited the set and it’s beautiful. They have rolling hills and cute cottages. It’s very different to EastEnders. And what is funny is he gets a lot of attention when he goes up north, but when we go down south everyone knows me from EastEnders so it changes where we go. ”

The couple, who have been dating since 2019 after co-starring in ‘The Girl On The Train’ on London’s West End stage, now reportedly live happily in Spain.

Samantha recently admitted that it was not her decision to leave EastEnders and that she felt ‘rejected’ by the boss, Sean O’Connor. She told The Mail that she didn’t ‘understand’ what happened and she felt like she was losing ‘a family’ when she left.

The soap star said: “It was really hard for us because it wasn’t in our hands. We didn’t make the decision to go. I don’t really understand what happened, one producer was leaving and another was coming in, I don’t know what went on. “

Adding: “At the time it felt like bereavement, it felt like losing a family member. It was like losing family and losing stability. But the thing that was the most painful – and it really was painful – was that me and Rita loved feeling like we belonged there. ”

Since leaving the soap, Samantha has battled breast cancer after being diagnosed in August 2022.

Her diagnosis came about during a routine check-up, despite her not having any symptoms. She luckily found the disease early and was declared cancer-free in December that same year.

Caitlyn Jenner’s manager, Sophia Hutchins, died taking a ride on an all-terrain vehicle near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion

New details have emerged regarding the devastating death of Caitlyn Jenner’s manager, Sophia Hutchins. Sophia tragically collided with a car while enjoying an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride near Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion and subsequently tumbled into a ravine.

The LA Sheriff’s Department reported that the 29-year-old died at around 11. 30am. The crash occurred on Decker Canyon Road, which is a public road about a mile north of Pacific Coast Highway. Authorities were called, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. It has been said that drones were used to help locate Sophia’s body after the ATV collided with another vehicle on the road above.

In new reports from MailOnline, officers claimed Sophia was speeding at the time of the crash.

“It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo said to the publication.

“It doesn’t seem like she was following them. I think she just she came up on them and then hit the car. ” The women in the Mazda, which Sophia is said to have tried to swerve around, were uninjured.

The sergeant said: “So it looked like she tried to manoeuvre to go around it, but she was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there. “

It comes as an insider close to Caitlyn disclosed to RadarOnline. com: “Caitlyn is numb with shock. She is absolutely devastated and can’t believe what’s happened. Sophia was a big part of her life. “

Sophia helped Caitlyn with her professional affairs after her split from Kris Jenner in 2017. Sophia, who featured in Caitlyn’s I Am Cait docuseries, wanted to help shield Caitlyn from exploitation.

In a candid New York Times piece from 2019, she explained: “I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage. And I was saying: ‘Caitlyn, if I don’t step in here and start managing you, you’re going to go broke’. “

She clarified their relationship further by adding: “Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship. “

In a previous conversation, Sophia further dispelled rumours regarding their association, declaring unambiguously: “We were never romantically involved. “

In a heartbreaking final post before the fatal accident, Sophia spoke about healing. She shared a snap of an ornament she had fixed, and wrote alongside it: “From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm, and foot, to a healing cherub. You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins…”

Nicole Scherzinger is set to live out a lifelong dream as she prepares for a major solo performance at one of the UK’s most legendary venues, marking a milestone moment in her career

Nicole Scherzinger will return to the UK with a one-off performance at the Royal Albert Hall. The American singer and actress, who rose to fame as a member of girl group The Pussycat Dolls, will perform on October 6 at the London venue for the concert titled An Evening With Nicole Scherzinger.

This comes after the 47-year old won an Olivier award for best actress in a musical for her role as Norma in a West End production of Sunset Boulevard.

Former X Factor judge Nicole broke down in tears when accepting the best actress honour for her role on Sunset Boulevard praising her family and fiance Thom Evans for his continued support.

She had detailed her upset and frustration at being treated like a pop flop and “put in a box” for over a decade after the Pussycat Dolls success. The American star now plans to build a movie career and continue stage shows, including creating her own, asserting: “I’d love to do it all.”

The singer was told applying for stage and screen roles was a “a waste of time” for over a decade and branded nothing more than a past it girl band star. She said she feels vindicated to have financially banked and created her own solo show, performing show tunes, at small venues across London and the US.

Nicole admitted: “This has been a very healing process for me. I always felt like I wasn’t living in my full potential and full purpose. I was never happy with myself. It is because I knew I had so much more to give. And this role and this opportunity allowed me to give all of me. It’s changed my life.

“But it has been hard. It has not been an easy road. I am so grateful that I am able to connect to people on a spiritual and soulful level and I could make a difference in these people’s lives. That is exactly what we do it for. So I am thankful. “

She added: “I am living in my dream. This is my childhood dream come true. I feel like I win every night when people tell me the impact of how my performances impact them. This has been 30 years in the making and I’ve been working and fighting for this my whole life.

The setlist will feature hits from both the West End and pop tracks accompanied by a live band to capture the full range of her career across musical theatre and as a popstar.

Days later, the singer will make her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City followed by a performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA – which she promised fans would be “nothing short of powerful and magical”.

The singer has had a series of top five hits in the UK singles charts as part of The Pussycat Dolls including Don’t Cha, Stickwitu and Buttons.

Aside from her music and acting career, she is also known as a TV personality including being a judge on The X Factor – where she helped to form the boyband One Direction.

She will soon appear as a judge in the upcoming Netflix series Building The Band, where she is joined by the late One Direction singer Liam Payne and former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland as the trio judge attempts by contestants to create a band.

Scherzinger was among the stars who performed at the Coronation Concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle in 2023.

Tickets for An Evening With Nicole Scherzinger go on sale on July 11 at 10am.

Kelly Osbourne announced her engagement on social media, but Ozzy Osbourne had a cheeky reaction to the special moment

Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t help but make a cheeky comment as his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, got engaged at the Prince of Darkness’ final-ever gig with Black Sabbath. The 40-year-old star took to her Instagram page to share the heartwarming video of her engagement, which happened in front of her dad and mum, Sharon Osbourne.

The Black Sabbath rocker was seen sitting comfortably on a couch while Sharon perched on an arm. Other friends were seen standing in the same room as Kelly’s partner, Sid Wilson, prepared to get down on one knee to ask her to be his wife.

However, after Sid said: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,” Ozzy interrupted.

Ozzy joked: “F**k off, you’re not marrying my daughter,” which gained a lot of laughs. Sid then asked: “Nothing would make me happier if you spend the rest of your life with me. In front of our friends and your family. Kelly, would you marry me? “

Kelly was in shock and she said yes to his question, with all their friends and family cheering them on while Sid placed the engagement ring on her finger.

In the video shared on Kelly’s official page, she wrote: “Oh and this happened yesterday! ” Fans and friends rushed to the comment section, with one user writing: “OMG OMG OMG ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Congrats ! ! ! ! ! ! What a few weeks ! ! ! Love you ! ! ! So excited for you guys ! ! “

One person said: “Stopppp. I’m so happy for you guys. Love you both! ! ! ! ” and another posted: “That made your father so happy… How wholesome. Congratulations to you both. “

In May 2022, Kelly revealed she was expecting her first baby with Sid as she shared a picture of herself holding an ultrasound photo.

“I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why…

“I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma,” she wrote. “To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic! . “

Kelly’s mum Sharon announced the arrival of the baby during a segment on The Talk in January 2023. “[His name is] Sidney. [They’re] doing so great,” Sharon announced. “She won’t let a picture go out of him.”

The new mum shared a message on social media later that day and said: “I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one’s place but mine to share any information on my baby.”
