BBC Beyond Paradise star rushed to hospital as co-star breaks silence
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?'" Not Going Out filming ground to a halt in a medical emergency (Image: BBC ) Lee, who had initially dismissed the severity of her condition, later found out that Sally required an emergency appendectomy the following day. Article continues below 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. Sally Bretton was rushed to hospital (Image: BBC ) 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." Article continues below Not Going Out returns on June 9 on BBC One.

Lenny Henry, review: a rusty yet thoughtful return to stand-up from a singular British talent
After a 16-year absence from stand-up, Lenny Henry 's 'triumphant return' to the stage in Perth last night consisted, in reality, of a fleeting half hour of new material, followed by a looser, more engaging Q&A. There were glimpses of the comic dynamo he once was, but this was more warm-up gig than comeback special. Performing as part of the Scottish city's Festival of the Arts, Henry's set was a mixture of personal and topical reflections on the last few years. He joked about Suella Braverman, Ozempic, and the Duke of York. None of which were groundbreaking. He was most captivating when delivering a retrospective, verbal memoir: on how humour could disarm bullies in the schoolyard, or his forthcoming film role in Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly alongside George Clooney. Along the way, mime, songs and lively impressions of Tommy Cooper, Eddie Murphy and Denzel Washington reminded the audience what makes Henry such a singular talent. This was the 66-year-old's first stand-up outing since 2009, having spent the intervening years acting on stage and screen (as well as his charity work with Comic Relief). As he put it: 'I'd been doing stand-up since I was 15. By the time I was 40, I thought, is this it? I felt like I was slightly spinning my wheels.' Host Fred MacAulay warmed up the 1,200-strong audience, at one point asking if anybody present was under 30. There were no more than four lonely whoops. Naturally, then, Henry's quippy material about getting older – from the joy of weekend trips to the garden centre to the cuts to the winter fuel allowance – went down a treat. 'I'm usually in bed by now,' he joked at 8:15pm, met with knowing laughter from the crowd. Other material was a harder sell. 'Do you know the Jamaican nod?' was answered with a silence borne not so much from disinterest as unfamiliarity. Henry delivered his jokes using presidential-style autocue screens. Understandable, perhaps, given the long hiatus, but it robbed him of spontaneity. For someone who was once one of the most physical performers in British comedy, it was a weirdly static performance. Only three times did he step out from behind the glass to deliver terrifically surreal, well-oiled routines with the fire and pacing of old. The second half of the show, a sit-down Q&A with MacAulay, was much stronger. Between the silly questions from the audience ('Do you actually stay in Premier Inns on tour?') and baffling ones ('What have Lenny Henry, Michael Jackson, Richard Attenborough and me got in common? Answer: the same birthday!'), there were some gems. A question about whether he still visits Dudley sparked a thoughtful response about growing up near where Enoch Powell gave his 1968 Rivers of Blood speech in Wolverhampton. It was in these unscripted moments that we saw the old Lenny shine through. So, though not quite a triumphant return for this national treasure, a necessary first-step. And an answer, finally: he does indeed stay in Premier Inns. No further dates

Luke Littler, 18, full of energy for Premier League Darts finals… as teenager credits cutting out live TV appearances
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LUKE LITTLER feels more relaxed heading into this season's Premier League Darts finale after cutting out the live TV show appearances. The Nuke was a boy in demand this time 12 months ago, appearing on ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show and BBC's Comic Relief following his extraordinary run to the World Darts Championship final. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Luke Littler has admitted cutting down on TV show appearances have helped his game Credit: Alamy 2 Littler appeared on the Jonathan Ross Show alongside the likes of Liam Gallagher Credit: Rex In May 2024, the teenage wonder showed his promise by shocking Luke Humphries in the Prem final, hitting an outstanding nine-darter after a key TV ad break. And then historically, he lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy in January 2025, 18 days before his 18th birthday. A conscious decision has been made by him and his team to reduce the number of times he appears on chats shows. Littler — who has more than 1.9million followers on Instagram — said: 'I did a lot of stuff for social media.

'I found out while I was doing the first Premier League that the travel was Thursday night, and then on Friday night we'd have to rush down to a European Tour. 'But this year it has been a lot more relaxing, which we wanted, in terms of the shows and stuff. 'That was good for my socials last year. This year it's all about kicking on. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'I've secured top spot in the league and playing that first semi-final is so crucial. 'This is one of the biggest ones out there.' Luke Littler and Luke Humphries play out 'best darts match ever' as Wayne Mardle says 'even they're finding it funny' On Thursday night, in semi-final one, Littler faces bogeyman Gerwyn Price, who has won six of their past eight meetings. In the other semi-final, world No 1 Humphries tackles Nathan Aspinall, with £275,000 on the line for the eventual winner at London's O2 Arena. Another chapter in the Littler versus Humphries rivalry will be a fitting conclusion to a brilliant Premier League campaign. Littler beat England World Cup team-mate Humphries 6-3 in the final in Sheffield last week — after the pair had averaged 115.96 and 110.01 respectively in the quarters for The Nuke's 6-3 triumph in Aberdeen. Cool Hand, 30, said: 'I enjoy playing Luke as I know I have to be at my best. 'I hope this rivalry will flourish, it's good for the game. When it was Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld, everyone loved it. 'Of course, we want to beat each other, we want to win everything. 'But also we get on really well.'
