EastEnders' Tony Discipline works up a sweat at new Fire Brigade job after quitting soap and split with Jacqueline Jossa
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOAP star Tony Discipline has traded EastEnders for a new life working in the fire service – and is currently deep in training. To most EastEnders fans, he will be known as Tyler Moon, the troubled son of David Essex's Eddie Moon and cousin to the legendary Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). 10 Tony Discipline played Tyler Moon in Eastenders for two years Credit: BBC 10 The star has now started working as a member of the London Fire Brigade Credit: Splash 10 Tony ditched his acting career for a life-saving job Credit: Splash 10 Tony was seen being put through his paces on the set Credit: Splash Appearing on the show from 2011 to 2013, Tyler proved to be a volatile character. As an amateur boxer he would take on bouts which his older brother Michael (Steve John Shepherd) would fix without his knowledge. This ultimately caused Tyler massive trouble as, after agreeing to an illegal fight, suffered a seizure from the amount of hits he took to the face. While his character was certainly a hard nut, 12 years on Tony is now using his own brute force for good, working with the London Fire Service. Spotted running through drills at his base, Tony was barely recognisable as he was spotted completing runs. It seems elements of Tyler stayed with him though, with Tony wearing a red t-shirt that reveals he's a member of the LFS Boxing Club. Speaking of his new job, Tony previously told The Sun: 'I love it. Every day is different and you feel you're helping your community. "It can be quite dangerous but you're trained to deal with those situations.' During his time on EastEnders, Tony sparked a relationship with Jacqueline Jossa, with the pair dating for 18 months before splitting in 2013, around the time that he left the soap. On screen, Tony's character Tyler found himself at one point in a love triangle with Jossa's character Lauren Branning and Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). However, Tyler's feelings for Whitney became most prominent, with the pair becoming a will they/won't they couple during his entire time on the Square. 10 Tony was seen hard at work with the help of a friend Credit: Splash 10 Tony made a surprise appearance in Doctors last year Credit: BBC 10 The actor dated Jacqueline Jossa while they worked on the show together Credit: Getty - Contributor But after years of ups and downs, as well as becoming entangled in his family's increasingly sketchy businesses, Tyler decided he had enough and left in 2013 in a stolen sports car. He was last known to be going to work on a cruise ship alongside his brother Anthony. However, Tony has never ruled out a potential return. 'I loved my time there," he told us. "It was a great chapter in my life and if the opportunity ever came up, I would definitely be interested.' Since his EastEnders exit, Kent-born actor Tony has been busy grafting off-screen, also working as a bartender at his own bar, The Tipsy Trailer. While acting has taken a backseat in his life, he does continue to do some jobs – appearing in an episode of Doctors in 2024, and this year appearing in the movie, Dream Hacker. 10 Running laps, the drill test was to ensure Tony has what it takes to fight fire Credit: Splash 10 Just like character Tyler, Tony is clearly a fan of boxing - joining the LFS Boxing club Credit: Splash

‘What's that bang?' Chilling moment sound of doomed Titan sub imploding heard from support ship
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the chilling moment the doomed Titan sub imploded as it was captured on video from its own support ship. Footage reveals the sound of when OceanGate's submersible catastrophically failed during its descent to the Titanic wreck in June 2023.

It shows Wendy Rush – wife of OceanGate boss Stockton Rush – staring at a computer used to receive messages from the Titan when a deep metallic thud rings out. Wendy, visibly startled, freezes before glancing up and asking the crew: 'What was that bang?' Seconds later, a message arrives from the sub: 'dropped two wts' – a reference to the Titan shedding weights to control its dive. Read more on the Titanic Sub DEEP REGRETS Titanic tour firm sued by victim's family over 'doomed submersible trip' But the timing of the message was tragically misleading. According to investigators, the sub had already imploded. The sound reached the surface faster than the delayed text, giving the false impression all was well. All five people onboard were killed instantly when the vessel collapsed under immense pressure at a depth of around 3,300m – just 90 minutes into the £195,000-a-head journey. The doomed expedition claimed the lives of CEO Stockton Rush, British explorer Hamish Harding, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman. Incredible 3D scan of Titanic shipwreck reveals TRUE story of its final hours A BBC documentary, in which the footage is featured, will also reveal chilling new findings – including that the Titan's carbon fibre hull began failing a full year before the fatal dive. Lieutenant Commander Katie Williams from the USCG said: 'Delamination at dive 80 was the beginning of the end. 'And everyone that stepped onboard the Titan after dive 80 was risking their life.' The documentary details how carbon fibre, an unconventional choice for deep-sea vessels, started to separate in 2022. On that dive, passengers heard a loud bang, but Rush reportedly reassured them it was 'the sub shifting in its frame.' The USCG has since confirmed that noise was a sign the hull was beginning to break apart. Despite warnings from experts and former OceanGate staff – one calling the sub an 'abomination' – Titan continued making dives. Deep-sea explorer Victor Vescovo admitted: 'I specifically told them that it was simply a matter of time before it failed catastrophically.' Businessman Oisin Fanning, who was onboard for the last two successful dives, said: 'If you're asking a simple question: 'Would I go again knowing what I know now?' – the answer is no.' 10 The sub made its final deadly descent in June 2023 Credit: AFP 10 Debris was recovered from the ocean floor after the tragedy The mangled wreckage of the Titan was later recovered from the Atlantic seabed, along with clothing, stickers and business cards. The USCG has confirmed 'presumed human remains' were found and matched to the victims. Christine Dawood, who lost her husband Shahzada and son Suleman, told the BBC the tragedy had changed her forever. 'I don't think that anybody who goes through loss and such a trauma can ever be the same.' The harrowing footage comes as the USCG prepares to release its final report later this year, with legal fallout already beginning. In April, billionaire heiress Karen Lo launched a £1million lawsuit after her trip aboard Titan was axed. The Hong Kong businesswoman, worth around £758million, paid £680,000 for the once-in-a-lifetime voyage – only for it to be cancelled after the sub was struck by lightning in 2018. She was promised priority rebooking, but after the sub imploded in 2023, she demanded her money back. 10 OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush 10 French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet 10 British billionaire Hamish Harding 10 Businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Lo is now suing Henry Cookson's ultra-luxury travel firm, arguing it broke the contract. The company denies wrongdoing, insisting she declined to use her credit for alternative trips and that the refund policy was clear. Meanwhile, earlier this year, a 20-second audio clip recorded 900 miles from the implosion site emerged, capturing what experts believe was the actual moment the Titan was crushed. The eerie recording revealed the 'acoustic signature' of the vessel's final seconds. Rescue hopes were initially high when Titan vanished from sonar on June 18, 2023. But days later, its shattered remains were discovered scattered across the ocean floor – an area the size of six football pitches. The Titan was last heard from at 10.47am with the message: 'dropped two wts.' Six seconds later, it vanished from sonar. The support ship Polar Prince sent a final message at 10.49am: 'lost tracking.' Communication was never re-established. OceanGate later issued a statement: 'We again offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who died on June 18, 2023… It would be inappropriate to respond further while we await the agencies' reports.' The investigation continues.

Advertisement The investigation continues. How the Titan tragedy unfolded By FIVE men plunged beneath the surface of the North Atlantic in a homemade sub in a bid to explore the Titanic wreckage. Four passengers paid £195,000 each to go on the sub, with the fifth member of the trip being a crew member. But what was supposed to be a short trip spiralled into days of agony as the doomed Titan vanished without a trace on June 18, 2023. The daring mission had been months in the making - and almost didn't happen at the hands of harsh weather conditions in Newfoundland, Canada. In a now chilling Facebook post, passenger Hamish Harding wrote: "Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years, this mission is likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023. "A weather window has just opened up and we are going to attempt a dive tomorrow." It would be his final Facebook post. The following morning, he and four others - led by Stockton Rush - began the 12,5000ft descent towards the bottom of the Atlantic. But as it made its way down into the depths, the vessel lost all contact with its mother ship on the surface, the Polar Prince. It sparked a frantic four-day search for signs of life, with the hunt gripping the entire world. There was hope that by some miracle, the crew was alive and desperately waiting to be saved. But that sparked fears rescue teams faced a race against time as the passengers only had a 96-hour oxygen supply when they set out, which would be quickly dwindling. Then, when audio of banging sounds was detected under the water, it inspired hope that the victims were trapped and signalling to be rescued. It heartbreakingly turned out that the banging noises were likely either ocean noises or from other search ships, the US Navy determined. Countries around the world deployed their resources to aid the search, and within days the Odysseus remote-operated vehicle (ROV) was sent down to where the ghostly wreck of the Titanic sits. The plan was for the ROV to hook onto the sub and bring it up 10,000ft, where it would meet another ROV before heading to the surface. But any hopes of a phenomenal rescue were dashed when Odysseus came across a piece of debris from the sub around 1,600ft from the Titanic. The rescue mission tragically turned into a salvage task, and the heartbroken families of those on board were told the devastating news. It was confirmed by the US Coast Guard that the sub had suffered a "catastrophic implosion".
