EastEnders stars Kat Slater and Alfie Moon to marry for THIRD time on soap 20 years after first tying the knot

The Sun5 days ago

EASTENDERS' Kat Slater struggles to veil her emotions as she marries Alfie Moon for a THIRD time.
The on-off lovers, played by Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie, are set to tie the knot again more than two decades after first saying 'I do'.

In one of this week's episodes, Kat is stunned when Alfie pops the question – and planning for the big day soon begins.
But trouble is quickly looming – and the couple look far from overjoyed in these first-look pictures.
There is even a chance Kat may not go through with it.
The couple first married in the 2003 Christmas special, with Kat's dream of a white wedding coming true thanks to a snow machine Alfie hired for the occasion.
They were ripped apart a year later when Kat's jealous ex, Andy Hunter, threatened to kill Alfie unless Kat slept with him.
The pair divorced then remarried in 2014 – but that didn't last either.
Kat subsequently had a brief failed marriage to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) before reuniting with Alfie.
Let's hope it's third time lucky.

JAMIE: ENEMIES? GORD NO
7
DESPITE describing Gordon Ramsay as a 'psychopath' in a viral social media clip earlier this year, Jamie Oliver has assured fans their long-running feud is not back on.
The chefs fell out in 2009 when Gordon referred to his TV rival as a 'one-pot wonder', later labelling him a 'mere cook'.
Jamie hit back that the Hell's Kitchen hothead was 'jealous' of his career and was 'too busy shouting and screaming'.
But Jamie has now told The Sunday Times Magazine: 'Me and Gordon are absolutely friends – our little berating decade is behind us.
'He's smashing life at the moment. He's doing things that no chef has ever done.
'We're on good terms, and long may it continue.'
GRACE IS BURGER QUEEN
7
SHE has dined at some of the world's top restaurants and is known for her withering put-downs of poor cuisine.
But Celebrity MasterChef judge Grace Dent – tipped to replace Gregg Wallace when the show returns later this year – actually has some surprising secret tastes.
She told Scott Mills on the Mercedes-Benz Vans Under the Bonnet podcast: 'I do love fast food, especially in service stations. People go, 'Oh I hate Burger King it's horrible.' But it's not. It's delicious.
'You can't put a price on stopping at a bog-standard service station at 11am.'
But Grace admits she can't really do it now, due to her links with posh nosh.
She said: 'People will just take photos of me because it's so comical.'
BEEB HAS FAITH IN SPIN-OFF
7
THE Beeb's Faith show Pilgrimage has played host to some interesting stars over the years, from Christine McGuinness to Neil Morrissey.
Now I can reveal it's getting a spin-off which will start filming this month.
The programme's creators CTVC are working on the similar BBC project, which takes a deeper dive into religions and beliefs.
The show has yet to get an official title but filming is set to wrap at the end of this summer – so it could be on our screens around this time next year.
Pilgrimage has delivered steady ratings since it debuted in 2018 with its first adventure across Spain.
Since then, it's taken a group of celebs on various treks in countries ranging from Italy and Turkey to Switzerland and Scotland.
HARRY'S MAGIC PLAN
HARRY MOULDING is already thinking about the future after triumphing on Britain's Got Talent on Saturday.
The magician says his journey began when he was 11 years old and a conjurer came to his school.
From that point Harry reckoned he was Harry Potter.
He said of his teachers: 'I used to get my cards confiscated in class because I constantly wanted to perform my magic tricks to school friends.
'I'm sorry to the teachers who had to deal with my magic antics, but I hope they can see it was all worth it now. I'm grateful to my school.
'With the money, perhaps I can open the magic school, a BGT Hogwarts, and Simon Cowell could be the Dumbledor of BGTWarts.'
I think he should come up with a catchier name though.
LOVE Island has added another hunk to its roster just days before the new series kicks off – Londoner Tommy Bradley.
An insider said: 'He's a cheeky chappy who enjoys a night out with the lads.
"He's packed on serious muscle – so he's not just a personality hire.'

EastEnders star Jamie Foreman says soap isn't 'anywhere near the highlight of my career' as he accuses show bosses of breaking promises

Jamie Foreman has revealed that EastEnders is 'nowhere near the highlight' of his acting career as he accused show bosses of failing to keep promises made before he joined the soap. The actor, 67, played Derek Branning from November 2011 until the character's death in the dramatic Christmas Day episode of 2012. Despite his role in one of Walford's most infamous families, Jamie said he doesn't consider the part a standout moment in his career - even though it gave him the opportunity to work alongside icons like Dame Barbara Windsor. Speaking on the Lewis Nicholls show, Jamie admitted: 'I'm going to be a little bit controversial here. 'I don't see EastEnders as anywhere near the highlight of my career. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It was a lovely job and I respect it. But for me… they'd asked me so many times before.' He went on to explain that producers promised him flexibility and favourable working conditions before he signed on. He continued: 'They said, "it's with the best family, it's full on, you can do as long as you want". I said, "I only want to do it for a year." 'I went and met with them and they made me all manner of promises that they never kept, like "you'll never work a Saturday". I did every Saturday. I was the first in, last out every day.' The BBC declined to comment, and Jamie's representative has also been approached. During his short tenure on the show, Derek Branning made a significant impact. He had an affair with Kat Slater, tormented Pat Butcher on her deathbed, and revealed the truth about Dennis Rickman to his son, Denny Watts. This isn't the first time Jamie has voiced criticism of his time on EastEnders. In a 2013 appearance on Daybreak, he said: 'I hated the scenes in the Queen Vic, I'm terribly sorry to everybody! 'I'm sure a lot of the cast will say the same thing - they're so long and laborious. 'You've got to stand there and wait for somebody over there to stop talking, so you're listening to that conversation, then it cuts to somebody else. You never shoot a scene quickly in there.' In 2020, Jamie revealed he suffered a heart attack, just like his character did in the BBC soap. Speaking to The Sun about his health scare, Jamie said: 'I had a massive heart attack a couple of years back and nearly pegged it. 'That put everything in perspective. All the years and energy I'd spent stressing about work and now I think "I've been there, done that".' Jamie has had an illustrious film and TV career, starring in movies such as Layer Cake, Oliver Twist and Nil By Mouth. Despite his successful career, he has been candid about the challenges he's faced in finding work. He told the Business & Money supplement in The Sunday Times: 'I've been sort of struggling on the work front. 'I wasn't terribly well a few years ago and it made me really reappraise things, so I'm in a transitional period. I'm only working if something nice comes in. 'My wife and I set up a little fashion business, Jules Boutique, in Surrey a while ago, which is her shop really and it's still burgeoning.' Jamie was previously married to EastEnders actress Carol Harrison, who played Louise Raymond. They share a son, Alfie.
