Jeff Stewart: Actor who played Reg Hollis in The Bill helps police arrest shoplifter

The actor who played PC Reg Hollis in hit TV series The Bill has been praised by officers after helping them arrest a shoplifter. Jeff Stewart stepped in when a thief attempted to escape on a bicycle in Southampton on Wednesday. In a statement, a Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: "The thief, 29-year-old Mohamed Diallo, fell off the bike during his attempts to flee, before officers pounced to make their arrest. "To their surprise, local TV legend Jeff Stewart, who played PC Hollis for 24 years in The Bill, came to their aid by sitting on the suspect's legs while officers put him in cuffs. "In policing you should always expect the unexpected, but this really wasn't on The Bill for this week." The Bill was broadcast on ITV between 1984 and 2010 and featured the fictional lives of police officers from the Sun Hill police station in east London. Mr Stewart, who was among the original cast, appeared in more than 1,000 episodes as PC Hollis. In praising Mr Stewart's actions, the force said: "Long since retired from Sun Hill station - but he's still got it." Police from the Bargate Neighbourhoods Policing Team were alerted by staff at a Co-op store in Ocean Way to a suspected shoplifter on Wednesday. Mohamed Diallo, 29, of Anglesea Road, Southampton, was subsequently charged with five offences of theft relating to coffee, alcohol and food from the Co-op and two other Sainsbury's stores on three dates in April and July. He pleaded guilty at Southampton Magistrates' Court on Thursday and was bailed to be sentenced on August 29.

Lee Mack has fronted the game show on ITV since 2022 which has been a smash hit amongst fans. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Lee Mack announced that over a dozen contestants were eliminated from The 1% Club in one go Credit: ITV 6 The presenter tested the players on their knowledge of the alphabet Credit: ITV 6 Contestants had to answer the letter based question in 30 seconds Credit: ITV Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, The 1% Club takes a whole different approach. 100 players sit in the studio audience as they are tested on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense. They have to answer riddles that a certain percentage of the public could get right with a 30 second time limit. For each player that gets eliminated, £1,000 gets added to the potentially huge jackpot prize. This continues until the players who get to the final round try to join the prestigious club by answering the last question that only one per cent of the public could answer correctly. But on an episode of the show available on ITVX, many players were eliminated quite early in the game by the 50% question. Lee initially: "'A' is the first capital letter in the alphabet that looks the same in the mirror." The question continued: "What is the second?" 14 players were eliminated as they just couldn't get the answer correct. The answer was the letter 'H' as £14,000 was added to the total, taking the jackpot prize to a whopping £49,000. The 1% Club players struggle on very tough letters question - can you outsmart them? This comes after it was revealed that The 1% Club is set to undergo a huge format shake-up with its next run of episodes. Instead of its usual Saturday night slot, execs at the commercial network plan to air episodes every weeknight back-to-back. It means that fans will be able to tune into an edition of the show every night for five nights. The show will also implement a new roll-over feature as the prize money rolls over from each episode. This means, there is the chance to win a staggering £500,000 on the 1% question on the final show of the week. 6 The answer was of course the letter 'H' 6 14 players either could not guess the right letter or pressed the pass on the question Credit: ITV 6 £14,000 was added to the huge jackpot prize Credit: ITV The 1% Club continues on ITV1 and is available to watch on ITVX.
