BBC Beyond Paradise star rushed to hospital as co-star breaks silence
Beyond Paradise star Sally Bretton is returning to her role to play Lee Mack's wife in the long-running BBC comedy, Not Going Out
Beyond Paradise and Not Going Out team up for Comic Relief skit
Sally Bretton, star of Beyond Paradise, experienced a medical emergency while on set for the BBC comedy Not Going Out with co-star Lee Mack.
The 45-year-old actress suffered discomfort during the live filming of the show, which features her as Lucy opposite Lee's semi-fictionalised self.
The incident occurred amidst an episode brimming with jokes about the struggle to get tickets for an Oasis reunion tour.
Lee recounted to The Mirror the moment Sally questioned him about the symptoms of appendicitis during the shoot: "There was a moment in that Oasis episode when we were filming it, when Sally said to me - she looked a bit in pain, 'Do you know what appendicitis feels like?'"

Lee, who had initially dismissed the severity of her condition, later found out that Sally required an emergency appendectomy the following day.

He said, "I said, 'I have no idea but I can tell you now you haven't got appendicitis, otherwise you wouldn't be here filming'. The next day, she had her appendix out."
Reflecting on their long-running partnership since the show's inception in 2006, both actors shared that they feel "emotional" about their journey from playing flatmates to a married couple with children.

The latest series pays tribute to the late Bobby Ball, Lee's father on the show, who died in 2020.
Lee fondly remembered Ball's presence on set and admitted, "We miss him a lot.
"He was like me, he wasn't from an acting background - so whatever I'm like in a studio, he was 50 times worse.
"The director would have to tell him not to keep looking at the audience every time he cracked a joke," reports the Express.
Reflecting on his time in the show, he shared: "When we look back, Sally and I do get a bit emotional.
"We've been in the show a long time, and there are different eras of it, especially when you look at all the people from the past who have been in the show and come and gone."

Not Going Out returns on June 9 on BBC One.

Michael Mosley's family reflect on one year since TV doctor's death
Mosley, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley on the Greek island of Symi last year, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes. His wife wrote on Instagram: 'It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we lost Michael. Not a day goes by without thinking of him – his warmth, his laughter, his endless curiosity about the world, and his deep love for our family. 'This past year has been the hardest of our lives. Navigating the loss of someone so central to our hearts and our home has changed everything. We have missed him in the big moments and the small ones. But we have also felt incredibly supported. 'The outpouring of love, stories and memories from so many of you has meant more than we can ever say. We have taken real comfort in knowing just how many lives Michael touched – not only through his work, but through his kindness, humour, and deep desire to help people live well for longer.' The message thanked 'everyone who has reached out, shared their grief, and carried us with their compassion, thank you. Your messages, letters and acts of remembrance have helped us through the darkest days.' It continued: 'We are trying, as a family to look forward. To carry on the work Michael was so passionate about. To live with purpose and joy, as he would have wanted us to.' 'With love and deepest gratitude, Clare and the Mosley family.' Last month, the family set up a research project to honour his memory, announcing that a new clinical research fellowship will be established in partnership with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to help improve the nation's metabolic health. The Mosleys have been working with King's College London and the CDRF, who will administer the Michael Mosley Memorial Research Fund, to appoint a dedicated research scientist. Mosley, known for fronting BBC and Channel 4 documentaries on health and diet, popularised the 5:2 diet, a form of intermittent fasting, through his book The Fast Diet. Michael Mosley died in 2024 (BBC/PA) His son Dr Jack Mosley, a GP registrar, who researched GLP-1 drug brands including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound with his father, has also written a book titled Food Noise: How Weight Loss Medication And Smart Nutrition Can Silence Your Cravings. In December, a coroner said Mosley's death was 'indeterminate' and 'unascertainable', adding that it 'was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause'. Mosley had presented BBC Radio 4's Just One Thing, and the BBC series Trust Me, I'm A Doctor, which looked at healthcare in Britain. He would regularly push his body during various programmes, and in a 2014 documentary he ingested tapeworms for six weeks. In a 2015 programme he made two black puddings out of his own blood to showcase its nutritional value. The BBC honoured the doctor-turned-science broadcaster with a day dedicated to him in July 2024, when presenters and audiences where encouraged to do 'just one thing' to improve their wellbeing. His wife Clare accepted the Hall of Fame Award at the British Podcast Awards on his behalf in September 2024.
