EastEnders' Colin Salmon says soap is in a 'good spot' as new boss takes over
EastEnders' Colin Salmon says soap is in a 'good spot' as new boss takes over t was announced in September 2024 that Chris Clenshaw - whose final episode credit will air on Friday - is leaving the BBC One soap Colin Salmon (Image: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron ) EastEnders star Colin Salmon says the show is in a "good spot" amid a new Executive Producer taking over. It was announced in September 2024 that Chris Clenshaw - whose final episode credit will air on Friday (13.06.25) - is leaving the BBC One soap after three years as its head, and Ben Wadey, the programme's former Story Editor, will be replacing him. Chris created "mind-blowing plot twists and devastating real-life storylines" - with many coming in 2023, such as the return of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), the award-winning Loving and Losing Lola plot which saw Danielle Harold depart as her alter ego Lola Pearce, who died of a brain tumour. Chris also introduced the Knight family, who took over the Queen Vic, making them the first black and mixed heritage family to run a pub on any UK soap. And Colin - the head of the Knights - says Ben is taking at a high point for EastEnders. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "I have always been a fan. There's great writing, we all work really hard. Article continues below "I think the authenticity of the humour of the East End, it's that you get stuff thrown at you and go, 'Oh that's fine, we'll deal with it', and then it all comes crashing down later, like in life. We're in a very good place with the show and it's fantastic for us." Colin's on-screen wife Harriet Thorpe (Elaine Peacock) said Ben's creativity and collaborative nature will build on Chris' success. She added: "Ben is wonderful. He's creative, collaborative and that's all you need." EastEnders features a diverse cast, and Colin said Ben's focus will be for the younger actors to be in the spotlight more. He teased: "It's great, we watch the show, we learn, we collaborate. It's nice to see the youngsters coming forward. They're all brilliant, amazing actors." Ben is returning to EastEnders from Channel 4 where he was a Commissioning Executive, overseeing Hollyoaks and a number of original dramas, including Generation Z. He originally worked at EastEnders as the show's Story Editor, and he worked on the soap's 35th anniversary in 2020, as well as a special episode that focused on Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) as she struggled with her alcoholism. Speaking about his new role as Executive Producer, Ben said: "I'm thrilled to be returning to EastEnders at such an exciting time for the show. "Having grown up watching and loving EastEnders, it sparked my passion for television, and I feel I've known the residents of Walford my entire life – so to lead this iconic BBC soap into its next chapter is a true privilege. Article continues below "I can't wait to collaborate with the exceptional team at EastEnders and build on Chris Clenshaw's brilliant work to deliver unmissable stories to fans - both those who have been watching for years and those just discovering Albert Square."

Meet Love Island's Shakira Khan: 'I Could Argue With A Brick Wall'
It's official, Love Island is finally back on our screens! After months of waiting, last night we were finally treated to a new batch of singletons who have entered the villa in the search for the love of their life. And with host Maya Jama already dropping the shock news that a departure was already imminent, we can't wait to see what other twists and turns are in store for this year's islanders. This year, the line-up was kept pretty under wraps, but that didn't stop the internet speculating who we could see join the cast. This included former fire-breather Sophie Lee, personal trainer Aaron Buckett and Lucy Quinn (who is rumoured to be joining the villa as a bombshell - watch this space). As the action got underway in the villa, there's one contestant who is looking likely to make an impact. Shakira Khan has already warned viewers about her fiery personality, and is already stirring things up in the villa. Shakira Khan is a contestant on series 12 of Love Island. She works in marketing, but like many of the contestants she already leads a pretty glamorous lifestyle. She's from Manchester, but her Instagram page shows plenty of trips to exotic locations, including Dubai, Turkey, Haiti and Mexico. Shakira has admitted she is 'so stubborn' and good at 'winning arguments' - meaning she could be ready to bring drama in the villa. 'I could argue with a brick wall. If arguing was an Olympic sport, I'd have gold medal, and I will just argue in the face I'm even if I'm wrong, I will argue in your face just until, until I have no breath left. I'm stubborn.' She added that she's 'not the one to start the argument' but is willing to 'finish it,' continuing 'I won't go hunting for the drama but if someone wants to pick a fight with me, girls or not, then they're gonna get a response.' Shakira is 22-years-old, making her one of the youngest contestants in the villa this year. Fellow cast member Tommy Bradley is also the same age as her. Shakira has been open about the fact she is looking for something long-term and serious. She said she wants 'someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny.' However, she hasn't had much luck on the outside world. She describes her love life as 'booming', but adds 'they're all frogs.' She said: 'It's a busy love life but I've not found 'the husband'. I'm looking for 'the one'. I'm looking for the ring.' When talking about her biggest turn off, Shakira admitted: 'Bag hygiene, like bad breath. I can't deal with it. Garlic breath or onion breath on a date is a big no-no.' Shakira has revealed she bumped into many of the former islanders while out partying. 'So I'm a bit of a Manchester gal on a night out, and I definitely like to be in the VIP area sometimes,' she said. 'I've run into the likes of Callum Jones, Jess White, Tom Clare, Casey, Adam from season two. So definitely a few islanders bopping about in Manny.' As for which former Love Island star takes her fancy? 'If Callum Jones was single, I would have give that a little try I think,' she revealed. 'I knew he had a girlfriend, so I stayed clear, I did get a little wink though,' she said. Yes! Like many of the islanders, Shakira already has a pretty big Instagram following.

'I worked on Strictly Come Dancing and the show has lost its magic'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing has been the jewel in the BBC's crown since it first graced our screens in 2004. However, in recent years, the much-loved programme has become somewhat of a headache for the broadcaster, having to navigate through a continuous flow of controversies. The latest incident involves Jamie Borthwick, known for his 19-year stint on EastEnders, who was suspended from the soap after using an offensive term towards disabled individuals. The 30-year-old actor, who danced with newcomer Michelle Tsiakkas on Strictly last year, has expressed regret over the incident that took place during filming for the show in Blackpool. This scandal follows closely on the heels of radio host Wynne Evans being dropped from the Strictly tour and subsequently from the BBC altogether, after he was filmed making an inappropriate comment. Although Wynne apologised at the time, he later stated he was "horrified" by how the BBC handled the release of his statement. Already last year, there were murmurs about Strictly's future amid an investigation into allegations of bullying among the professional dancers. This led to stricter regulations during rehearsals and resulted in the show featuring the smallest number of female celebrities in its two-decade run, reports the Mirror. (Image: PA) With all these events and the subsequent changes, the question remains: is there still hope for Strictly Come Dancing? Vincent Simone, a beloved professional dancer who graced the BBC show from 2006 to 2012, expressed his desire to see Strictly Come Dancing return to its original format in an interview with the Mirror. "Back in our day with Bruce [Forsyth], it was a very traditional Ballroom and Latin American show," Vincent elaborates. "Now it has developed so much and they've introduced so many different styles that me, myself, would be struggling to do like contemporary and all that stuff. "It didn't used to have any special effects - it was literally someone handing me over a CD with the music and saying good luck, off you go for next week. It's a much bigger team now with choreographers, helpers and cameras and so they juice it up a lot more. Sometimes I always feel like it's nice to strip it back to just two people dancing with the music. Like, really simple. I like that side of it." Brendan Cole, Strictly's legendary 'bad boy' pro from 2004 until 2017, concedes that he feels the show has lost some of its magic. However, unlike Vincent, he doesn't believe the show can revert to its simpler roots. (Image: PA) "With these big shows, the longer they run, the more bells and whistles," he comments. "Because every year a new producer steps in, they want to make the show their own. When [Strictly] first started there was a magic about it but if you watch that show now, it would probably seem very, very basic and very average compared to what you watch now. "But of its day, it had a magic and it had a beauty and it was very innocent. It's probably lost a little bit of that, but I don't think you could return to that format. I think shows have to improve and have to compete with other shows, otherwise they get left behind. "Strictly had an amazing 20 something years on television. I don't think you can compare the start to finish, but what you can do is admire the way the show has been produced over the years, and the fact that it still has a good family sort of value." He added: "So yes, it's had a couple of it may have had a couple of rocky years, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It's just time." Meanwhile, Pasha Kovalev, who found love with his now-wife Rachel Riley while working on the show from 2011 until 2018, expressed that he misses the original VTs which showcased the relationships between the pro and celebrity develop in the training room as opposed to the skits that are filmed now. "You don't really speak much on the show," he says. "You stand next to your celebrity and listen to what the judges say. Those VTs before could show the actual friendship and relationship that develops between the two people on the dance floor in the dance room and you can get your personality across. That's why everyone loves Vincent now." Vincent cheekily interjected: "We had personality back in the day!"
