Hollyoaks star marries fiance she met on a plane – watched by emotional C4 co-star
HOLLYOAKS star Caroline Koziol has tied the knot in a stunning countryside wedding. The actress, well known for playing Katja on the Channel 4 soap, wed businessman Phil Thornett in front of family and friends. 3 3 Rory Douglas Speed - who played Joel Dexter on the show - was amongst those there to watch her happy moment. Caroline is thought to have met Phil on a plane and fell head over heels - choosing to keep their romance out of the limelight. The actress' first prominent role was in 2019, when she appeared as Mariana in Line of Duty. Caroline then played a Polish immigrant smuggled into England on Hollyoaks for a number of months in 2021. She became close to Rory during her time in the village and describes him as her 'brother from another mother'. Since then she has appeared in over 20 Bollywood films and she has become a TikTok sensation - with millions of views per video. On Hollyoaks Caroline was the unsuspecting van driver of the laptops that Brad King, Warren Fox and Felix Westwood were planning to steal. She was directed into a garage as part of their ploy - where she was tied up, leaving her terrified. In a scuffle Katja managed to escape and jumped in the van - but managed to reverse it into Maxine - knocking her unconscious. Hollyoaks' Rory Douglas-Speed cradles baby boy Reggie to sleep at the hospital 3 Hollyoaks - cast member cull HOLLYOAKS beauty Chelsee Healey has dropped the biggest hint yet she's been axed from the soap - yet what's happening at the Channel 4 show? Earlier this year, the Channel 4 soap was forced to address the cull of cast members. It came after The Sun was first to report Hollyoaks bosses plan to kill off a whopping 20 cast members. Now Chelsee, who recently took time away from her role as Goldie McQueen to give birth to her second daughter, has now made a cryptic move on X. The Manchester lass, 36, re-posted a picture of her character crying to her page. It came after Stephanie Waring, famed for her 28-year-long role as Cindy Cunningham, confirmed that soap bosses had axed her as part of the 20-person strong cast cull. Another big name set to quit for good is popstar turned soap star Jamelia. The soap's resident hunk and TV favourite Owen Warner has also left the show amid the cuts with fans left devastated to say goodbye to his character Romeo Nightingale. Jamie Lomas has also quit the show and will depart his Warren Fox role soon. Haiesha Mistry famed for her role as Yasmine Maalik has also left after seven years.

The This Morning host will this summer front new Channel 4 project Your Song, where she tours Britain giving ordinary members of the public the chance to perform a track which has special meaning to them. If it has a hint of The Piano about it that's because it's made by the same production company, Love Productions, who make the Great British Bake Off . . . co-hosted by Alison. A TV insider said: 'Alison was the natural choice to present this, with her warm personality and ability to catch unguarded moments with the singers, together with chatting to the crowds. 'Your Song will feature people who love singing — they may have been singing for a long time but not necessarily in public or on a stage. You can expect some unexpected performances.' Alison said: 'I love the power that music, and singing your heart out has. It can change your mood — put a smile on your face, make you sad, make you reminisce. So I'm excited about this new show, about real people telling us their stories through song. Let's hit the road.' The six-part series will see people with special connections to a songs step up on stage and share their story — whether it's all about a track that helped them through heartbreak, became their anthem of triumph or reminds them who they are. But Alison will have to squeeze her new job into her schedule. As well as appearing soon on Channel 4's Bake Off and Celebrity Gogglebox, for the BBC she's just made travel series Florida Unpacked and interview show Alison Hammond's Big Weekend for the BBC.

Heel to pay for angela 5 Angela Scanlon says she would never again go on Strictly Come Dancing Credit: Getty ANGELA SCANLON says she would never again go on Strictly Come Dancing because of the terrible blisters from training and performing in show shoes. The Irish TV presenter, who in 2023 made the quarter-finals of the BBC One show with pro dancer Carlos Gu, is a mum of two and reckons would sooner endure childbirth again. She revealed on her Get A Grip podcast alongside Vicky Pattison: 'I've had two children without pain relief, and would do that ten times over in a day than have raw, bleeding blisters. "You have to put the goddamn shoes on and do a Viennese waltz – my heels have never had so much action. 'You put a plaster on and, because you're sweating like a donkey, it falls off. You put socks on with your ball-room shoe and you're still rub-a-dubbing. You're raw.'

He said of the HBO series, due next year: 'It's exciting, I've already been in for a make-up and costume-fitting last week, so the ball is rolling.' Even more exciting is that his part – played in the films by David Bradley – is unlikely to be edited out post-filming like what happened to a cameo he shot for one of the Potter movies. Speaking on Irish Radio Station RTE Radio 1, Paul said of that let-down: 'The director asked if I wanted to play the role and I said I'd do it if I could bring my girls to the set. They came along and told friends I was going to be in the new Harry Potter. 'Then I had to break the news that they had cut me out and stuck me in a portrait. So I'm back for revenge.'
