Home & Away actor Nicholas Cartwright issues warning to his female fans over bizarre scam
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Home & Away actor Nicholas Cartwright has taken to social media to issue a warning to his fans. The Australian TV star posted a rare video to Instagram on Monday to address claims that he's been in contact with numerous fans. The actor revealed that scammers have been pretending to be him, tricking fans into believing they are in a relationship, before asking for money. 'Just thought I'd make a really quick video,' began the soap star. 'I don't normally like to make these sort of announcement things but a lot of women are getting catfished using my pictures on Facebook.' Home and Away actor Nicholas Cartwright has claimed that scammers are pretending to be him and contacting female fans of the show. Picture: Channel 7 He continued: 'All sorts of bizarre stuff is going on. I've been getting messages about it and now I've got people contacting my family and my manager. This is my only social media. I hardly use social media.' Cartwright went on to share his heartbreak to fans whom have been getting tricked by scammers, and doubled down on his insistence that he only has one social media account on Instagram, urging people to not fall for further tricks. Cartwright revealed that a fan in New Zealand had been made to believe he intended to marry her. Picture: Channel 7. 'Long story short, I apologise to anyone getting scammed. Not that it's my fault. I hope that you're OK. I'm not asking for money, or trying to get married to anyone in New Zealand!' Last year Cartwright hit headlines after it was revealed he lashed out at one of Home & Away's former bosses in a heated social media exchange. 'I'd seen him promoting an upcoming storyline about the River Boys coming back,' Dan Bennett told Daily Mail Australia. 'The show's trying to re-energise that whole crime tone – the drugs and the devilishness – and all I've done is send him a message saying, 'zzz' – as in, 'that's a bit boring, we've seen all that before'. 'Of course, that's just my view; I'm just a fan these days. But next thing you know, I've got Nicholas Cartwright – one of the supposed stars of the show – sending me DMs and calling me 'a c**t'. 'I don't know Nicholas, I've never met him … so to think that's how he talks to fans is deeply concerning,' he said, adding that he'd been in contact with Seven about the heated exchange.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HER Hollywood star dad and her famous stepmum are convinced she has what it takes to become a huge star. And this aspiring actress and filmmaker appears to have the whole package: brains, beauty and artistic flair. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 This aspiring actress has a very famous dad Credit: Instagram / @audreypurcell 5 The up and coming talent has been working hard on some short pictures Credit: Instagram / @audreypurcell The starlet's Instagram grid is full of shots of her living the high life from one sunny, luxury location to the next. Among them is a glam bikini snap as she relaxes on board a boat anchored in turquoise waters. Just this week her Prison Break star dad, Dominic Purcell, wished her a sweet happy birthday message in which he made it clear her fame would one day eclipse his. Sharing a throwback snap of Audrey as a toddler, he wrote: "My beautiful daughter @audreypurcell … believe she's 1-2 years old here. I love you always in my heart. Hold strong, keep the course, your loved deeply by all of us and your bloke is a tremendous fella has my blessing. Haha. "You're a tremendous talent, actress, producer, film maker. I believe in you! You will achieve your goals. Smell the roses on your journey, take the good and bad that's life and it's to be respected. Remain humble, thankful. Things I'm starting to learn at the ripe old age of 105. Haha. "I'll be begging to work with you soon.!!! You legend. Love. Dad." Dominic's wife, Tish Cyrus, echoed his sentiment and commented: "Love you @audreypurcell ….. your going to be a star darling." Tish is of course mum to pop super star Miley and her famous musical siblings Noah and Trace. Audrey is at the start of her career but is making moves to emulate her dad's success. She's involved in two short films: Shellbound and Amos' Bride. Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell return for season 5 of Prison Break Her dad is the perfect man to provide guidance having weathered a successful 34 year TV and film career. Dominic made his screen debut in Aussie soap Home & Away but had to wait a further six years for his next role in Raw FM. It was the start of a purple patch that saw him break into films in the early noughties beginning with Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible II, which he followed with Sci-fi favourites Equilibrium and Blade Trinity. In 2005, he got the role he's most known for, Lincoln Burrows, in Prison Break. Since the series came to an end in 2009, notable TV roles include parts in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. His love life has got headlines over his acting work in recent years after he struck up a romance with Tish after her divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus in 2022. Tish told Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper that when she would watch Prison Break with her daughters Miley and Brandi, she was always on "Team Lincoln," a nod to Purcell's character, Lincoln Burrows, on the hit 2000s show. She had even jokingly referred to Purcell as her "hall pass" throughout her nearly 30-year marriage. Their relationship started in a rather unconventional way for the older couple – on Instagram. Newly-single Tish slid into Dominic's DMs to pitch a TV idea for her production company Hopetown Entertainment. Dominic wasted no time admitting he had a crush on her and a business lunch quickly developed into something much more. The duo got engaged over Thanksgiving 2022 and officially tied the knot less than a year later on August 19, 2023. 5 Audrey Purcell with dad Dominic Credit: Instagram / @dominicpurcell 5 Dominic is married to Miley Cyrus's mum, Tish Credit: Instagram

Novocastrian is bringing home the bacon as Daddy Pig on tour
Performing at Newcastle's Civic Theatre on Wednesday will be a homecoming for one of the stars of Peppa Pig's Fun Day Out LIVE! Benjamin Richards, who plays the role of Daddy Pig, grew up in Seahampton and was a student at Barnsley Public School. His family now lives in Heddon Greta, while he is based in Melbourne. Peppa Pig is the No.1 children's show on Nick Jr. and No.2 on ABC Kids Australia. The stage show is based on the much-loved animated series, with the addition of singing, dancing, games ... and plenty of puppets. "I fell in love with musical theatre when I was living in London at the age of 21," Mr Richards told the Newcastle Herald. "I came from a very sporty family and was never really exposed to the arts. "I was working at a pizza restaurant in London's West End when I saw my first musical. It was Kinky Boots, and basically I walked out of the theatre and was, like, 'I can do that'. I've always been able to sing, but until then, sport had always been my focus." In 2023, Mr Richards graduated from Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University (now QAEMT) with a Bachelor of Musical Theatre. He also holds a Diploma of Musical Theatre from Sydney's Brent Street. "I started theatre much later than most people, at 23, but it's worked for me. I've had to work really hard to catch up," he said. "I'm doing auditions here and there. Honestly, I want to do it all: film and TV, musical theatre. The Lion King. "My dad [the late Ian Richards, who used to play for Broadmeadow Magic] used to say, 'I want to see you on Home & Away'. So if I make it on the show, I know I've made it, in his eyes." Mr Richards wasn't expecting to learn the art of puppetry however is enjoying adding to his skill set. In addition to playing Daddy Pig in this show, the 29-year-old also plays the Scarecrow. "The show is very fast paced and I do a lot of singing," he said. "Being Daddy Pig in itself has been pretty cool - when he comes out on stage he gets the biggest cheer every time [laughs]. "The kids just go absolutely wild at this show. It's really interactive, not like regular theatre where they have to sit still. Here, they can be up and dancing the whole time, having fun."
