EastEnders actor Max Bowden is believed to have grown close to former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn, with the pair spending a lot of time together in a stage production

An EastEnders star has sparked “chemistry” with a former Coronation Street actress. Ben Mitchell actor Max Bowden and former Sinead Tinker star Katie McGlynn have reportedly been spending a significant amount of time with one another while working together.
Just weeks ago, it emerged that Max had split from his girlfriend, Tori Allen-Martin, just six months after the pair started dating. At the time, it was reported that their romance had “fizzled out”. The pair had starred together in the musical, Midnight Cowboy, and instantly struck up a close bond and became “inseparable”.
Meanwhile, Katie recently split from her boyfriend, former The Only Way Is Essex star, Ricky Rayment. A source said: “Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they’re still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it’s definitely over.” They went on to say: “It was difficult at times for them dating even though they lived miles apart from each other, but ultimately it just wasn’t meant to be.”
But now, Max, 30, is said to have grown close to Katie, 32, after the pair started working together on the touring production of Murder at Midnight. The pair are believed to have been friends for some years but their time spent together while on the road appears to have ignited a romantic spark between them.
“They were in the soap world for so long where everyone knows each other,” a source said. They added to The Sun: “They’ve got loads in common and both have found themselves single at the same time as doing the tour. They get on well and have been spending time together – it’s clear they’ve got chemistry. Who knows what the future holds?”
Max has previously dated several co-stars, as well as Tori. He struck up a romance with his former EastEnders colleague Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean. He later went on to date Danielle Harold, who played Lola Pearce, but their relationship soon fizzled, and it’s claimed the pair are no longer on speaking terms.
Earlier this year, a source told the MailOnline: “Danielle and Max dated for a number of years. Of course, it was known among the EastEnders cast and everyone thought they were sweet together. Their relationship hasn’t ended on the best of terms, and they have even unfollowed each other on Instagram. There are a lot of emotions after they were friends, colleagues, and romantically involved for such a long time.”
Recently, Max sparked a frenzy amongst fans of the BBC One soap opera as he made a dramatic return to Walford. His character was last seen on the show last year, with his final appearance airing on March 28, 2024, as Ben was sent to prison after committing fraud in the US in a desperate bid to get money for Lola’s cancer treatment.
However, when previous boss Chris Clenshaw left the show, it was speculated that Bowden would return for a string of episodes. This was later confirmed by producer Ben Wadey, who reached out to Bowden. In August, it was confirmed that the actor would return for just two episodes.
Ben was granted temporary leave from prison, as he had been serving a stretch in America for credit card fraud. But during his explosive return, he told his husband, Callum Highway, that he had been moved to a prison in Manchester, with a brief stint in London, allowing him to attend Callum’s dad’s funeral.
However, during his short stint back in Walford, Ben’s life completely changed. In recent weeks, Callum has been cheating on his husband with Johnny Carter. During the emotional scenes which aired on Tuesday night, Callum confessed his affair to Ben, who appeared to understand, once Callum explained.
He later jumped up and declared that he and Callum would be getting divorced, while also claiming that he had been sleeping with other people while in jail, although it’s unclear if this is true or if Ben said it just to dig back at Callum. Despite putting on a brave face, once Ben was back inside his prison cell, the character appeared broken as he reminisced while looking at a photo of himself, his daughter Lexi and Callum.
The Mirror has approached spokespeople for Max and Katie.

Available in 21 shades, the formula promises an all-day, waterproof finish – perfect for all seasons. One reviewer praised it for not budging even on a 12-hour shift and thanks to the smudger, shoppers can create the ultimate smokey eye, making it ideal for party looks this season.

Another customer labelled it ‘fantastic’ and added: “Nurse on 12 hour shifts and it does not budge!” Some people were unfortunately less pleased, with one saying: “Slightly disappointed, it doesn’t stay on and needs to be sharpened too often so it’s not going to last very long.”
However, another happy shopper left a glowing review of the Satin Kajal Liner: “I have spent hundreds of pounds searching for an eyeliner I can tightline with that is creamy and long lasting. Look no more, this is it. I have two colors and can not wait to buy more. I can not recommend enough, just perfect!”

President Donald Trump appears poised to put his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint – the country’s manufacturer of legal tender coinage that also produces commemorative coins.
On October 3, the White House re-shared an X post from US Treasurer Brandon Beach confirming reports that the Trump administration was seeking to put the president’s image on the front and back of a dollar coin commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary.

US currency typically does not feature living people – or sitting presidents – but it’s not unprecedented.
“There have been times in the past where commemorative coins have been printed with the faces of living people,” White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said on CNN’s State of the Union on October 5.
He’s right. Several living people have been featured on US currency in both the recent and distant past, including one president.
Although the concept of a Trump coin runs counter to a longstanding tradition, there are no unscalable legal obstacles to establishing a US coin with Trump’s image on it.
What has the Trump administration proposed?
Beach’s X post showed the coin’s front, featuring Trump’s side profile, and its flip side – an illustration of Trump pumping his fist after a 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The phrase, “Fight Fight Fight” lines the coin’s perimeter, referencing a Trump rallying cry repeated after the assassination attempt. Trump was not president at the time of the assassination attempt.

At an October 3 White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “I’m not sure if he’s seen it, but I’m sure he’ll love it.”
Would this design be legal?
Multiple pieces of coinage legislation enacted over the past few decades have included specific language banning living people from being portrayed on US-minted coins. In one case – a series of coins launched in 2007 honouring every president – the law’s text goes further to specify that no coin in the series may “bear the image of a living former or current president, or of any deceased former president during the two-year period following the date of the death of that president”.
That barrier on living presidents was specific to that particular presidential coinage series, however – not to the series that would include the proposed Trump coin.
The guidance governing the series the Trump administration is considering comes from legislation authorising a series of coins for the nation’s 250th anniversary, known as the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020.
Trump signed the measure into law in January 2021, during his first presidency, following unanimous passage by both chambers of Congress. It authorises the redesigns of quarters, half dollars and $1 coins in several sequential series, one of which is a 250th anniversary series to be launched in 2026.
The law for the 250th series refers specifically to the reverse of the coin: “No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin” in the series. But it doesn’t rule out a portrait on the front of the coin.
That may not be a high bar for Trump to jump if he wants to mint a coin with his image on it.
Unless Congress acts, the process from here would involve only administration officials, meaning the president could maintain direct control. Even if the courts were inclined to block the proposal, experts said it’s uncertain whether anyone would be able to cite a direct harm from producing a Trump coin – a requirement for filing a lawsuit.
“It’s unclear who would have standing to sue here,” said Gabriel Mathy, an associate professor of economics at American University in Washington, DC, who has studied coinage issues.
Legal or not, history has not favoured using living people on US currency
Whether or not a Trump coin would be legal, numismatic experts – those who specialise in coins and related items – said there’s a longstanding tradition in the United States of not depicting living people on coins.
“Not featuring current presidents on coins is an important and enduring part of the United States’ history as a republic,” Mathy said. “Going back thousands of years, coins traditionally carried the image of the current monarch. This is still the case in the United Kingdom, where coins are minted with the face of the reigning monarch, as well as in some other monarchies.
“The United States was founded as a republic, and the founders wanted to avoid making the president into a monarch,” Mathy said. Putting a living president on a coin would be “inconsistent with a long tradition of American republicanism”.
Despite the norm, living people have sometimes appeared on US currency.
President Abraham Lincoln, his Treasury Secretary Salmon P Chase and US Army General Winfield Scott were among a small number of living figures to appear on US paper currency.
During the Civil War, Spencer Clark, an official with the federal office responsible for printing paper money, put his own image on a five-cent note. He did it by leveraging a legal loophole: Congress had approved a note featuring an image of William Clark, the explorer from the Lewis & Clark expedition of the Louisiana Territory, but lawmakers neglected to specify William Clark’s first name in the legislation, journalist Blake Stilwell wrote in Military.com.
So Spencer Clark, having the same surname, inserted his own image instead of William Clark’s. Clark also produced a separate note that featured then-US Treasurer Francis E Spinner.
By the Civil War’s end, “Congress had time to pay attention to what the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was up to,” Stilwell wrote.
So in 1866, Congress passed a law saying no portrait or likeness of a living person would appear on “bonds, securities, notes, fractional or postal currency of the United States”.
The law doesn’t mention coins, however. Living figures – and even one living president, Calvin Coolidge – have occasionally been featured on coins, including some in recent years.
In 1921, the US released a commemorative coin to mark Alabama’s centennial, featuring side views of William Bibb, the state’s first governor, and Thomas Kilby, its governor during the centennial. “This coin was the first ever created by the Mint to carry a living person’s portrait,” the Mint’s website says.
In 1926, during the nation’s sesquicentennial celebration, Congress authorised the minting of a commemorative coin. The designers settled on a joint portrait of George Washington and Coolidge, who was president during the sesquicentennial.
The coin proved unpopular; of 1 million half dollars that were minted, more than 850,000 were returned to the Mint and melted.

The other two examples we could find of a living figure minted on coins are more recent.
The Mint created a congressionally authorised coin to commemorate the 1995 Special Olympics World Games. Congress didn’t dictate the design, but the front of the coin featured Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics for people with intellectual disabilities. She died in 2009.
On February 6, 2016, the Mint released a congressionally authorised coin for former President Ronald Reagan and former First Lady Nancy Reagan, tied to the late president’s 105th birthday. Nancy Reagan died one month later, on March 6, 2016.
A country has already minted a coin with Trump’s image on it
In 2025, the West African nation of Liberia produced a $1, one-ounce silver commemorative coin with Trump’s image on the front, crowned by a laurel leaf in gold as if he were a Roman emperor. The motto read, “In Don We Trust.”
TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has revealed he needed hospital attention on a nasty looking eye injury. The GB News star took to Instagram to update his followers, who quickly told him how painful it looked.
However, the 65-year-old Northern Irishman was quick to play down the treatment. He joked “you should see the other guy” as he shared snaps of his heavily bandaged eye.
Sharing two images, Eamonn said he had a patch put on in hospital. While he didn’t explain what had happened, he wrote: “One of these eye patches was put on in hospital and the other one by me . See if u can guess which ? Ps U should see the other guy !!!”

The first image was a neatly plastered patch, while the second showed Eamonn pulling a face after his own attempt showed a lot more tape needed to try to hold it in place.
It comes as the star continues with health struggles that have affected his walking. In May, there was concern for the star as he fell off his chair on live television. Weeks earlier, he had also been taken to hospital earlier after he had a fall at his home and had to ring an ambulance for help.
The presenter has been working hard on his rehabilitation after undergoing spinal surgery in 2022. He had the op due to chronic back pain that had been caused by three slipped discs.
He said the ailment had previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg Over the last year, the veteran TV star has been seen using a walking aid and a wheelchair due to his reduced mobility.
And he recently said his health decline had “made him sad”. Sharing a photo of himself from three years ago, the star looked healthy and sprightly.
He said: “I could walk then.” In a bid to stay positive, Eamonn added that he was motivated to “redouble my efforts.”
Eamonn revealed in 2022 that his health problems caused issues in his marriage to then wife, Loose Women star Ruth Langsford. The pair announced their split last year after 14 years of marriage.
Eamonn has since moved on with Katie Alexander. Eamonn and Katie, who is 22 years younger than him, formed a close bond following his split from Ruth.
He said at the time: “Even my own family are bored of my moaning. It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”

Under blazing skies at a tea plantation in India’s northeastern state of Assam, worker Kamini Kurmi wears an umbrella fastened over her head to keep her hands free to pluck delicate leaves from the bushes.
“When it’s really hot, my head spins and my heart begins to beat very fast,” said Kurmi, one of the many women employed for their dextrous fingers, instead of machines that harvest most conventional crops within a matter of days.
Weather extremes are shrivelling harvests on India’s tea plantations, endangering the future of an industry renowned for beverages as refreshing as the state of Assam and the adjoining hill station of Darjeeling in West Bengal state, while reshaping a global trade estimated at more than $10bn a year.
“Shifts in temperature and rainfall patterns are no longer occasional anomalies; they are the new normal,” said Rupanjali Deb Baruah, a scientist at the Tea Research Association.
As changing patterns reduce yields and stall output, rising domestic consumption in India is expected to shrink exports from the world’s second-largest tea producer.

While output stagnates in other key producers such as Kenya and Sri Lanka, declining Indian exports, which made up 12 percent of global trade last year, could boost prices.
Tea prices at Indian auctions have grown by just 4.8 percent a year for three decades, far behind the 10 percent achieved by staples such as wheat and rice.
The mildly warm, humid conditions crucial for Assam’s tea-growing districts are increasingly being disrupted by lengthy dry spells and sudden, intense rains.
Such weather not only helps pests breed, but also forces estate owners to turn to the rarely used practice of irrigating plantations, said Mritunjay Jalan, the owner of an 82-year-old tea estate in Assam’s Tinsukia district.
Rainfall there has dropped by more than 250mm (10 inches) between 1921 and 2024, while minimum temperatures have risen by 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit), the Tea Research Association says.
The monsoon, Assam’s key source of rain, as summer and winter showers have nearly disappeared, brought rainfall this season that was 38 percent below average.
That has helped to shorten the peak output season to just a few months, narrowing the harvesting window, said senior tea planter Prabhat Bezboruah.
Patchy rains bring more frequent pest infestations, leaving tea leaves discoloured, blotched brown, and sometimes riddled with tiny holes.

These measures, in turn, add to costs, which are already rising at 8 to 9 percent a year, driven up by higher wages and prices of fertiliser, said Hemant Bangur, chairman of the leading industry body, the Indian Tea Association.
Planters say government incentives are insufficient to spur replanting, crucial in Assam, where many colonial-era tea bushes yield less and lose resilience to weather as they age beyond the usual productive span of 40 to 50 years.
India’s tea industry has flourished for nearly 200 years, but its share of global trade could fall below the 2024 figure of 12 percent, as the increasing prosperity of a growing population boosts demand at home.
Domestic consumption jumped 23 percent over the past decade to 1.2 million tonnes, far outpacing production growth of 6.3 percent, the Indian Tea Association says.
While exports of quality tea have shrunk in recent years, India’s imports have grown, nearly doubling in 2024 to a record 45,300 tonnes.
