Diane Parish sends fans wild with behind-the-scenes Soap Awards snaps
EastEnders icon Diane Parish took to social media over the weekend to share a fun-fuelled video of highlights from the 2025 British Soap Awards - which did not give away any of the winners Diane Parish was in a celebratory mood on Saturday night as she joined her EastEnders castmates and headed to Hackney for the British Soap Awards 2025. The 55-year-old soap icon, famous for playing Denise Fox on the BBC show since 2006, had been on the long list for one of the show categories. The star had been initially nominated for the Best Leading Performer gong, but did not advance to the second round of nominations for the prestigious award. Instead, EastEnders co-stars Lacey Turner and Kellie Bright were nominated for the gong alongside Emmerdale stars Beth Cordingly and Eden Taylor-Draper. Stars from Hollyoaks and Coronation Street were also at the glitzy awards show on Saturday night, which was hosted by singing sensation and cruise ship enthusiast Jane McDonald. The full list of winners was announced on Saturday night, but some fans are waiting to find out who took home which prize when highlights from the ceremony are broadcast on ITV on Thursday night. With this in mind, Diane took to social media on Sunday to share her own highlights from the night, which did not give anything away. She shared a two-and-a-half-minute-long video from the celebrations, which included footage of her partying with fellow soap stars before, during and after the event. Uploading the footage to her main grid, Diane wrote: "NO SPOILERS for those who don't wanna know. But I am sooooo PROUD of everyone who works on @bbceastenders What a night!" Clips showed her laughing and chatting with co-stars, encouraging members of the public in the live audience to cheer, spotlighting Anita Dobson in the crowd, and partying at the after party. Soap stars were thrown into a panic at the party, however, as the after-show venue was hit by a bomb hoax. The event was held at London's Hackney Town Hall after the main awards. But attendees were suddenly asked to leave the venue shortly before 1am after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat. "We all got evacuated just before 1am. No reason was given at first and security came round and told us we had to leave immediately," a source told The Mirror - recounting the nerves shredding experience. "As we all waited in the street outside, security told us there had been a bomb threat. We weren't allowed back in the building so people started making their way home." In a video shared with The Mirror, some of TV's biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate - with the likes of EastEnders' Tameka Empson and former Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan among them. A show source also told The Mirror: "Owing to a security alert after the recording of the awards, it was necessary to evacuate the after party venue. Everyone was cleared from the building safely." Meanwhile, fans of soaps took to social media to slam ITV for failing to broadcast the event live - with many annoyed that they would have to wait until Thursday before being able to see who would take to the stage. Taking to X to slam the delay in broadcast, one fan raged: "It's ridiculous that the British Soap Awards isn't live… there's more hype for the soap stars arriving outside for something not even airing on tv for another week than there is the Britain's Got Talent final… sort it out for next year please @itv." The British Soap Awards 2025 will be broadcast via ITV1 and ITVX on Thursday 5 June 2025 at 8pm.

What Happened On Young and the Restless Today? Michael Quits Victor—for Real This Time
On the May 23 episode of The Young and the Restless, Michael faces off with Victor, Kyle plays with fire, and Diane and Jack make big plans. At the Abbott house, Diane (Susan Walters) showed Jack (Peter Bergman) some travel plans for their long-overdue honeymoon. Jack loved everything she picked and was thrilled by the idea of whisking her away. At the office, Kyle (Michael Mealor) was more distracted by a gift basket of sweets from Claire (Hayley Erin) than his parents' plans. When Diane stopped by, she mentioned their trip could stretch to a month. Kyle assured her he could hold down the fort at Jabot, but Diane worried that his obsession with Audra (Zuleyka Silver) might become a bigger issue than business. Diane could see that Claire wasn't comfortable with Kyle's scheming, and Kyle didn't deny it. He admitted that the more he thinks about Victor (Eric Braeden) and Audra, the more it eats away at him. Kyle said he struggled to be the man Claire believed he could be. Diane urged him not to become like Victor and reminded him of how far Claire had come. They shared a touching moment before Kyle got a text from Audra asking to meet. He told his mom he planned to surprise her with a counterattack. Diane wasn't thrilled but warned him to be careful. READ THIS: Here's why Noah left Genoa City. Meanwhile, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) showed off her new locket to Lauren (Tracey Bregman) at the GCAC and revealed it was just the beginning of her birthday celebrations. Lauren shared that Michael (Christian Le Blanc)had finally told Victor he was done. When Jack joined them, they all agreed Victor wouldn't take the news well. Lauren warned she'd kill Victor if he dragged Michael back in, and Nikki noted no other lawyer could rein him in. Over at the new ranch, Michael broke the news to Victor. He explained it was time to put Lauren first. Victor said he understood…until he didn't. Victor refused to accept Michael's resignation, insisted Michael would always come back, and tried to strong-arm him into staying. Michael stayed firm, said goodbye, and left. When Nikki walked in, Victor fumed and forbade her from ever mentioning Michael again. Back at home, Jack filled Diane in and promised that if Victor brought the fight to them, they'd hit back hard. At the jazz lounge, Michael met Lauren and told her he'd done it. She promised to stand by him and make sure he never regretted it.

Riddle family release grief memoir as support tool for others diagnosed with rare brain cancer
A raw and heartfelt account of a local family's journey through a rare cancer diagnosis and anticipatory grief has been released to serve as a guide and support tool for others. Hayley Riddle and her mum, Diane, have released The Road Through Glioblastoma Multiforme, a memoir that chronicles Diane's caregiver journey at her husband Lance's side after he was diagnosed with grade four of the rare, aggressive brain cancer. Written from Diane's perspective with the support of Hayley, the book aims to provide a road map and offer connection, insight and comfort to others — having found little support on their own journey. 'We hope that by sharing this story publicly, others walking a similar path will feel less alone,' Hayley said. 'Mum had the idea of sharing our story, not just the journey itself, but how she processed her grief and rebuilt herself because she had been married to my dad for over 35 years. 'Because I'm a psychologist, I really wanted to help her dive into the nitty gritties of her emotions, rather than it just be like a regurgitation of events. 'I wanted it to be quite insightful and talk about the things that maybe people don't mention when they're grieving or going through this sort of weird space of being a caregiver and feeling the fear yourself. 'It's also been a healing process for my mum and me to work on together over the last few years and a way to honour my dad's courage and spirit.' The book details how Diane and Lance navigated the medical system and how she coped with the anticipatory grief, knowing loss was around the corner. 'It's her perspective of being a carer and supporting my dad through his terminal illness,' Hayley said. 'It's all about the treatments he went through, the ups and downs of that and my dad's fighting spirit, as well as my mum's battle with that anticipatory grief and the battle between having hope but also the inevitable. 'When we were going through it we hadn't heard of anyone else going through this and we had so many questions — what do we expect? What does this look like? What is going to happen? What does a typical journey look like? 'I was trying to find books and things like that, and that's where we came up with this idea. 'I would say it's helpful for anybody going through a cancer diagnosis from a carer's perspective, not just this cancer, because . . . my mum talks a lot about the anticipatory grief and being stuck in being a carer, trying to have hope, but also fearing the worst. 'So I think anyone can relate to that who's going through a cancer or terminal illness. 'It's just a bit of a guide or support tool so people don't feel alone in that space.'

Former Miss World Rosanna Davison opens up about mother's cancer journey
Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has opened up about her mother's cancer diagnosis. The beauty queen revealed her mother Diane was diagnosed with cancer in 2023. Rosanna revealed the devastation her family felt when they were told of her diagnosis but said she is now in remission. She told us: "It was a big shock and a big cry. She's the healthiest person in the world. Really health conscious. It just goes to show it can happen no matter how healthy your lifestyle is. "It takes no prisoners. It can happen to anyone." But the mum-of-three said her mam was able to travel with her dad, singer Chris De Burgh, to Australia on his latest tour. "She's great. She was able to travel with my dad. She's in complete remission now from cancer. "She's absolutely living her best life. Which is amazing to see. She had a rough couple of years. "I think she's just such a great success story. Of a cancer survivor. She fought it early because of a routine check. "I think the message, the reason why I spoke about it, I guess, is because of the importance of routine checks, checking your blood. "I'm trying to keep up to date now. I'm due to go in the next couple of weeks for an annual blood check. "It's just to keep you on top of your health checks, whether it's smears or mammograms or blood tests. Just to keep you on top of your health. "She's someone who caught their cancer early, went through the chemo but is through the other side of it now. Great success story." The Dubliner also told how her 76-year-old famous father is showing no signs of slowing down and retirement is not on the horizon. "He just did a tour of Australia. He kind of kept it low key. He was like 'me and your mum popping off to Australia.' "And then he did the Opera House in Sydney one of the nights. So he did like a six or eight-day tour in two weeks. "I don't know how (he does it). They were getting flights in between from coast to coast. He's 76. "There's no sign of him stopping. "My granny, though, is about to turn 99. So there's something in the genes there," she added.
