EASTENDERS star Steve McFadden looked a far cry away from his hardman character Phil Mitchell, as he enjoyed the My Little Pony: Movie premiere. The onscreen tough guy looked happy and relaxed as she enjoyed an afternoon out with his family. Steve - who has played Phil for nearly 30 years - looked completely different to his soap persona, and smiled happily as he headed into the children's movie. The film, which is about a dark force threatening Ponyville, would probably not be the Walford hardman's first choice of movie. But Steve looked like he was having a great time as he headed into the screening at posh London hotel The Ham Yard. He was dressed smartly in a shirt and trousers. Steve was with his wife and three of his children. Meanwhile, it comes as it's revealed his onscreen son Ben Mitchell, played by Harry Reid, is leaving the BBC One soap in upcoming months. Producers are keeping tight lipped about how he will go. This week will see him his character Ben get a surprise … [Read more...] about EastEnders tough guy Steve McFadden is spotted going to see My Little Pony Movie

BEN Mitchell is leaving EastEnders but the question is - how? The actor, who plays Ben, Harry Reid is leaving the BBC One soap in upcoming months but his exit is tinged with mystery and fans have been busying themselves with their theories of how he will leave. Well why not? They've already killed off Steven Beale so what's one more death for Ian to deal with?

Shane Richie: ‘Nick Knowles is a chippie who sings. I do this for a living’
Hi Shane. What’s new? We’ve got a Nando’s opening here soon (1). Have you got a black card? I did have. It meant nothing to me. Ed Sheeran, who was living with my son, Jake, said that of all the accolades he’s got – the Grammys, the Brits – the one thing that meant the most to him was his Nando’s card. I used mine once. I was filming in Belfast with Kevin Bishop and John Sessions. I said: “I think we can get a freebie at Nando’s.” John got such a giggle out of not paying for a Nando’s. He said: “I can’t believe it, Richie: we’re having as much chicken as we want and we’re not paying for it!” Rank the Planet of the Apes films (2). You know I’ve got the original wagon, don’t you? Mate, I’ve got the original wagon they threw Charlton Heston into. I got that when I was doing eBay while drinking Jack Daniel’s. That was a lost weekend.
