Hollyoaks star 'ties the knot with businessman fiancé she met on aeroplane'
The actress, who is best known for her role as Katja on the long-running soap, went public with her relationship six years ago Hollyoaks star Caroline Koziol has reportedly married her fiancé Phil Thornett after first meeting him on an aeroplane. The actress, who is best known for her role as Katja on the long-running soap, went public with her relationship six years ago and has now walked down the aisle with her closest friends and family attending the ceremony. According to reports, the gorgeous couple tied the knot in the countryside at a ceremony attended by their family and friends including former Hollyoaks co-star Rory Douglas Speed, who is known for his role as Joel Dexter in the Channel 4 series. Caroline and Rory became close friends on the set of Hollyoaks. As per The Sun, Caroline reportedly met her now-husband Phil on the plane and quickly fell for him. The Mirror have contacted Caroline for comment. The actress appeared on Hollyoaks for a short stint in 2021 where she portrayed a Polish immigrant named Katja. Her character was the unsuspecting van driver of laptops that Warren Fox, Felix Westwood and Brad King were going to steal from. As their plan unfolded, Felix - dressed as a policeman - directed her into a garage but she soon became weary of him when she noticed he wasn't wearing a proper stab vest. Felix panicked about what to do and tied her up before placing her in the back of the van. During the chaos, Katja managed to escape from him. While escaping in her van, she accidentally hit Maxine Minniver. Meanwhile, outside of Hollyoaks, Caroline appeared as Mariana in Line of Duty in 2019. Not only has she appeared in over 20 Bollywood films, she also received a nomination for Best Actress at the Los Angeles Film Festival for her role in the short film, Dream Catcher. The actress also has almost 200,000 followers on TikTok and entertains fans with her endless, unique sketches and posts. Speaking about content creation, she previously said: "My followers give me so much, and I've built a community with them. I read every comment, and I'm incredibly grateful for the support I receive. "However, it wasn't easy to start with. I tried to succeed on TikTok for the past two years, but none of my channels were successful. I kept posting every day for nine months, and through consistent effort, I finally managed to build an audience. "I found it tricky at the beginning because my videos barely got any views, but I read that consistency is key, so I decided to keep going."

'Line of Duty was on my mind when creating Netflix's latest thriller'
Netflix has a new mystery waiting to unfurl on your screens today, which will be perfect for those hankering after a slice of Line of Duty. Scott Frank, the writer and director behind Netflix's runaway chess hit The Queen's Gambit (an unlikely combination of words), is back on the streamer with the twisty crime thriller Dept Q. The new nine-part show dives in at the deep end with a shooting in the first scene that leaves one copper dead, our protagonist detective Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) traumatised and his partner paralysed. Speaking to Metro, Frank explained how certain British TV thrillers played a huge part in his inspiration for the show, which has dropped all nine of its episodes to binge in one go today. Following the events of the opening scene, Morck is still adjusting to his new normal months later, when his superior exiles him to a newly established department – the name's in the title – down in the basement.

He's joined by a couple of fellow police misfits and tasked with cracking a long-unsolved cold case. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Based on a series of Scandi-noir novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, the show's creator Frank, 65, said he'd been sitting on the book rights and waiting to make the show for 15 years. It was his love of crime dramas, 'especially' the British variety, that he said finally got him doing something outside his wheelhouse with this show. He told Metro: 'I just love these kinds of shows myself anyway. They're my guilty pleasure, not even guilty, my pleasure to watch. 'I hadn't really made anything like this before, and so it seemed like a really, really fun idea.' When asked which crime dramas he had in mind when making the show, Frank had a laundry list: Broadchurch, Happy Valley, Prime Suspect, Cracker, as well as Line of Duty. 'I love Line of Duty, just because of the way it moves and the way it keeps turning,' Frank said. 'You have these 20-minute interrogation scenes that are like plays. I just love that.' Frank hopes that viewers tuning in to Dept Q take away 'a full meal' from the show. He said: 'I hope they have a good time and they get lost in it the way I like to get lost in these shows where you're pulled along and second guessing, but the character reveals are so satisfying.' He only has one small plea to TV viewers: don't watch the show on your phone. 'I don't know how they do it,' he said. 'I feel terrible for the filmmakers, because they're watching Outlander on their cell phone. 'Even my own wife sometimes will be watching, and she'll look down to do something, and then she'll look up and she'll have missed a key plot point. 'I don't know how to control that. I only know how to write a good story and then just hope that enough people realise that it's one they should probably lean in for.' And if he does happen to see you watching Dept Q on the tube? 'I would be both mortified and resigned at the same time,' he laughs. Matthew Goode, 47, told Metro he didn't think Frank would choose him for the role of Morck, but Frank said he wrote the scripts with Goode specifically in mind. More Trending Goode said: 'I was thinking he can pretty have whoever he wants. Why question him? He's one of the most intelligent men around. So he came back and he said, 'I think I'd really like you to do it'. 'It's just such brilliant, nuanced characters. It's dark, it's hilarious. And that's something you don't necessarily always see within this genre. I just wanted more scripts. I wanted to know where it was going. 'So I felt very, very, very lucky and delighted, because it's the second time that Scott has given me a role that I don't think many other directors would necessarily have thought of me for.'

Netflix's remake of hit Nordic crime drama with Line of Duty star airs tonight
Dept. Q is arriving on Netflix today, with Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode starring as an arrogant detective who must lead a team of misfits in cracking an Edinburgh cold case Brand new crime drama Dept. Q is landing tonight (Thursday 29 May) on Netflix - with Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode starring in this adaptation of a Nordic hit. Based on the book series by Jussi Adler-Olsen, which has been adapted into numerous Danish films, the new series follows a detective as he's tasked with opening a cold case unit after leading an investigation that went horribly wrong. With the likes of Line of Duty's Kelly Macdonald, The Game's Chloe Pirrie and Harry Potter's Shirley Henderson taking on roles in this new Netflix offering, the nine-part thriller will give crime fans something to dig their teeth into this evening. Pick of the Day Dept. Q, Netflix Downton Abbey actor Matthew Goode stars as a bristly detective in this new crime drama, adapted from a successful series of Danish novels. The action has been translated from Copenhagen to Edinburgh, where we meet DCI Carl Morck (Goode), a gifted crime solver, whose arrogance has got the better of him. Morck and his partner made the mistake of visiting a murder scene that wasn't ever assigned to them. After belittling the uniformed officers holding the fort there, they examined the body, without realising that the killer was lurking in the shadows. As a result, a young copper died on the job, and Morck's partner was left paralysed. Morck managed to make a physical recovery, but is haunted by every detail of that day and determined to seek justice. When he returns to the station, his whispering colleagues don't want to talk to him and getting back to work isn't as easy as he'd hoped. His boss is under pressure to improve the public image of the force, and is strongarmed into opening a cold case unit, called Department Q. It's a PR exercise rather than a legitimate new arm of the force, and much like Slough House in Apple TV's hit Slow Horses, this is somewhere to shove employees who have fallen out of favour. It's the perfect assignment for Morck – he may be unpopular, but his intellectual brilliance and unique approach could solve a few impossible cases. Also starring Kelly McDonald as Morck's spiky therapist, Dr Rachel Irving. Best of the Rest Britain Under The Nazis: The Forgotten Occupation, Channel 4, 8pm Marking the 80 th anniversary of the liberation of the Channel Islands, this documentary tells the story of the Brits who lived under Nazi occupation during World War 2. With actors bringing to life memoirs, diary entries and letters, we hear the voices of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney residents who were stunned when German soldiers moved onto their islands in 1940. A feather in Hitler's cap, and a source of embarrassment for Churchill, these British territories were left undefended, and nobody quite knew what would happen next. Some anticipated the horrors to come and fled, but for those left behind they needed to decide whether to collaborate with their new neighbours or stage their own acts of resistance. With the local press under censorship, and a thick atmosphere of fear and suspicion, individual acts of courage shone through the darkness. Featuring analysis from historians, this programme is a chance to celebrate forgotten heroes. Interior Design Masters With Alan Carr, BBC1, 8pm It's the final, and either teacher John or visual merchandiser Rita is set to win a fabulous prize – the opportunity to design their own homeware range with John Lewis. The deciding challenge takes them to Portmeirion, the location of classic TV series The Prisoner, and a quirky Welsh village famed for its enigmatic architecture and design. Drawing influence from the colourful local buildings and artwork, John and Rita must each renovate a two-bedroom holiday cottage. They have a budget of £6500, three days to work and the help of former competitors Craig and Briony to get them across the finish line. John is channelling the Mediterranean with lemons on the wall and bold colours, while Rita wants a cosy chocolate box vibe. Guest judge, designer Sophie Robinson is famed for her vibrant maximalist designs, so she'll be looking for a cottage that screams 'more is more'. But who will she name the winner? EastEnders, BBC1, 7.30pm It's been a shocking week in Walford, but there's much more drama in store. The consequences of the car crash are still playing out and the survivors are coming to terms with what has just happened to them. Meanwhile, back in Albert Square, shockwaves continue to ripple in the wake of Vicki's bombshell at No. 1. The impact of her outburst floors Barney, who already has a lot to get his head around after the kiss with Avani. Emmerdale, ITV, 7.30pm Jacob insists that Sarah is selfish for wanting a baby at this point in her life. He's shocked to learn that nobody else knows the reality of her situation. John's mental torture continues, as he panics that the wedding won't go ahead. Moira worries about the truth coming out, and fears that Lewis has too much power over her future freedom. The tension between Dawn and Billy is taking its toll. Joe has a plan to make life easier.
