Brian May issues emotional message over wife Anita Dobson after health scare
Queen rocker Brian May has shared a rare comment about his actress wife Anita Dobson following her win at the Soap Awards and his terrifying health scare last year Brian May has made a rare comment about his wife Anita Dobson following her Soap Awards win. The Queen rocker, 77, gushed over the actress as she took home the Scene of the Year gong at the annual award ceremony. EastEnders icon Anita, 76, made a dramatic comeback as her beloved character Angie Watts on the soap, and the move secured her win. Speaking before she was presented with the gong, Anita: 'It was just perfect.' Asked if she could return again, she admitted: 'I don't think so, although I should say never say never, it would have to be something extra special.' Brian made sure to congratulate Anita as he issued a public message of support to his wife. Taking to X, he gushed: "Congratulations Anita Dobson!!! "My incredibly talented lady wife --- winner of the Scene of the Year award - for returning as a ghost from another life to shake the East End one more time !! Massively proud !!! Bri." Actress Anita, who has been married to Brian for 24 years, spoke out about the musician's health earlier this year following his terrifying stroke. In September, Brian said that 'out of the blue' he suddenly lost control of his left arm, and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance where he was diagnosed with a stroke. He was later told to take it easy and made the announcement himself with a social media video. Earlier this year, Anita revealed Brian was in a "stable" condition. Anita gave a reassuring four-word answer while on Good Morning Britain. She said: "He's very well now", before adding: "I'm very happy to say, thank you both for asking, he's very well now, he's back to his old self!" The We Will Rock You legend took to Instagram to share the news with his followers last year: "I hope you're all well out there. I'm here to bring you first of all some good news. "I think the good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days and I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke and all of a sudden - out of the blue - I didn't have any control over this arm so was a little scary." He also heaped praise on the medical team at Frimley Hospital in Camberley, Surrey, for their excellent care. Brian added: "I have to say I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went blue lights flashing... the lot. Very exciting!" In 2020, Brian also suffered a heart attack, and fears he 'could have died' at the time, having initially thought he had simply suffered a gardening injury. He subsequently had his heart fitted with three stents, which are tiny tubes that hold open blocked arteries, that helped him recover.

Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa issues heartfelt message to fans after shock exit
Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has shared a sweet statement on social media after exiting the Tardis. The 32-year-old actor gutted (and surprised) fans after regenerating into returning star Billie Piper at the end of his season two finale on Saturday night after a dramatic conclusion to his and Belinda's eight-episode arc. This meant that after only two seasons, much to the dismay of Whovians everywhere, we had to say goodbye to his Doctor after only 16 episodes and two-and-a-half specials. Especially since his exit from the show was not announced beforehand – as is usually the case when one Doctor is set to leave – it made it even more of a plot twist. In an official Instagram post he shared images with his two companions Ruby Sunday and Belinda Chandra (Millie Gibson and Varada Sehtu) Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

He wrote: 'Three queens of the sky… 'Twas an experience like no other and thank God we were by eachothers side. There aren't quite the words for how much you both mean to me but I am so grateful I got the opportunity to work, learn from and laugh with you both everyday. You're both just simply incredible and it has been nothing short of a blessing to share this journey with both of you. Ruby Sunday and Belinda Chandra will live in mine and the Whoniverse hearts forever. Also shout out to the CAPTAIN of all 15's companions. Captain Poppy. Ultimate top dog of this season! (lil Sienna brought so much life and magic to us all on set ) I love you guys. We did it After the official BBC Doctor Who actor uploaded a picture of Gatwa as the Doctor in the Tardis with the caption of two broken hearts (as a nod to the Time Lord's unique physiology) and a fire emoji, the Sex Education star reposted it on his Instagram story. He added the caption: 'Thank you for it all, 15,' with a rocket emoji. The episode also involved his former companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) who shared her own farewell message on Instagram of the image of the two of them across their shared episodes. 'Nothing can put into words the experience we've shared. I am forever grateful to have been a part of it and watched you bloom into the fabulous Doctor the world has got to know and adore. You have made this incredible character even more special with who you are and how good you wear clothes. 'You're my forever friend and doctor and I'll be here cheering you on watching you on your further successes with every new companion you meet along the way ;) More Trending 'Thank you for taking me to the stars. Love, Ruby roo,' she wrote. Gatwa also reposted this, saying: 'My Ruby Roo.' Elsewhere in the heartbreaking finale, he shared a scene with 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker adding that it 'was beyond a flipping honour and joy to work with legendary Jodie'.
