September 28, 2023 by www.dailystar.co.uk Leave a Comment

Celebrity Big Brother icon Courtney Stodden looked sensational as they slipped their lithe figure into a skimpy red bikini for a series of beach shots.

The non-binary reality star and model channeled the vibe of a Baywatch icon in their bright red swimwear, 13 years after shooting to fame when they married Doug Hutchinson aged only 16.

In Courtney’s latest snaps, they knelt on the wet sands of a beach at night in a strappy red bra secured in the front with loose ties, and featuring a plunging balcony neckline.

A pair of matching bright red bottoms were hitched high on the star’s hips and tied with string, leaving Courtney’s legs and slender tummy totally bare.

They finished off the ensemble with a huge string of pearls clutched between both hands, slipping a gold pendant necklace around their throat and letting their brunette tresses flow in loose waves around their shoulders. Courtney opted to go without make-up for the stunning shoot, showing off their natural beauty while staring directly into the camera lens.

They recently confessed to “feeling free” after turning 29. The brunette bombshell wrote on social media: “Feeling free. 28, I needed you [tears emoji] You pushed me to become a stronger woman.

“Ringing in 29 with fierce independence in my own place, on my own – for the first time in my life. I have so much gratitude in my soul and immense excitement for what’s to come. I’m going to wrap up the decade of my twenties with boss moves only and additions that make ME happy.”

Courtney tied the knot with The Green Mile actor in 2011 when he was 51, an age gap of 35 years.

Their divorce was only finalised in 2020, with Courtney confirming on Twitter: “I’m officially divorced today.” TMZ reported that Stodden would keep all of their furniture and appliances as per a settlement, while Hutchinson walked away with their Italian Greyhound and Jeep Wrangler.

They split and reconciled at various points during their on-again, off-again relationship. Courtney admitted they knew the marriage was “controversial”, but Hutchinson was their “everything”.

Their marriage was “deeply affected” by the miscarriage Courtney suffered with their first child.

“There were other guys way richer than him,” they said. “I just fell in love with him. He was everything.” After a life of competing in beauty pageants, Courtney went on to appear in a string of reality shows, from Hollywood Hillbillies to Couples Therapy.

British soap success stories: As Michelle Keegan ‘makes a million’, other soap stars’ soaring successes

July 7, 2016 by www.mirror.co.uk Leave a Comment

Many young actors dream of getting a part in their favourite soap.

But for some, that dream just isn’t big enough and they set their sights across the pond and while for most, that dream ends in tears, a select few manage to claw their way up the greasy Hollywood pole and conquer the industry and live the American dream.

With former Corrie star Michelle Keegan making a fortune after leaving behind the ITV soap, and her career set to head to America to increase her fame yet more, we take a look at all the former soap star success stories.

Michelle Keegan

Michelle Keegan reportedly earned almost £1 million last year.

The 29-year-old actress broke hearts across the country two years ago when she bowed out of her role as Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street but it seems the gamble paid off as the brunette beauty is believed to be earning 16 times more than she was being paid while shooting the long-running soap.

The talented star was reportedly being paid £60,000 a year to portray the feisty barmaid in the ITV show and, as part of her contract, was banned from endorsing any other products.

However, since her departure, Michelle has managed to nab a deal with fashion brand Lipsy, which sees her earn around £250,000 a year, and become the face of Garnier’s Ambre Solaire self-tanning range, which reeled in £150,000.

America beckons…

Sam Strike

Sam Strike is one of the latest in a long line of soap stars to transfer his talent over the pond.

The actor’s agent recently revealed on Twitter that the 21-year-old had been offered the lead role in a ‘big US film’ , leading many to speculate that he’s going to be the new Spider-Man.

Strike quit his role as EastEnders’ Johnny Carter last year, saying that he didn’t feel like his character was really necessary to the soap, and it looks like the gamble paid off.

Ben Hardy

Ben joined the cast of EastEnders as Peter Beale in 2013 and became Albert Square’s musclebound hottie.

The 24-year-old spent his days selling apples and pears on his market stall in Walford, teasing the viewers with sneaky peaks of his ripped torso, all the while confusing them as they wondered how Ian Beale produced him.

Now, the actor has hung up his apron and appeared in box office smash X-Men: Apocalypse as Angel.

Patsy Palmer

It’s almost a case of ‘watch this space’ for Patsy Palmer , who exited EastEnders for the second time last year.

She now lives on Malibu beach with hubby Richard Merkell and her four children – and says she’s having the time of her life.

After appearing on an advert for a US electronics retail chain, Patsy plans to expand her showbiz repertoire to behind the camera, and is currently working on a television project with Hollywood executives.

Nathalie Emmanuel

Not a bad stint for the Hollyoaks star whose character, Sasha Valentine, went from a shy girl to heroin addiction, prostitution and being a gangster’s moll.

Nathalie Emmanuel left the soap in 2010, and apart from bit parts in Casualty and Misfits, it looked like her star was about to die, until she landed a role in the hottest drama on television.

The Essex girl walked straight onto the set of Game of Thrones – to play former slave Missandei – and saved her career. She’s now landed a roll in big budget sequel The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials and she seems set for life.

Barry Sloane

After a turn on Revenge, Barry will soon join The Whispers

Hollyoaks also has a pretty good track record of producing great actors – and Barry Sloane is testament to that.

The Liverpudlian star played serial killer Niall Rafferty for a year until 2008, and after a spell with roles in The Bill, DCI Banks and Holby City, he has finally made his jump to the states.

In 2012, he joined Revenge, on which he played Aiden Mathis for two years and he has recently been cast in The Whispers.

Ricky Whittle

Most remembered for his amazing abs and being generally hot all over, Ricky Whittle carved out a name for himself as Calvin Valentine (Sasha’s big brother) in Hollyoaks.

But since then the former soapstar has gone up and up with the 33-year-old dancing his way to second place in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009 before landing himself a role in CW drama The 100.

Leaping at the chance to show off his torso once again, Ricky plays a warrior called Lincoln who falls in love with one of the sky people.

He will soon appear in the lead role of upcoming Starz series American Gods.

Margot Robbie

Margot is arguably the hottest actress of the moment with her career flying

Over to Australia now and to the cast of Neighbours, which has produced a lot of big names over the years.

Margot Robbie is currently one of the hottest talents in the world, following her career-making performance in The Wolf of Wall Street.

She shows no signs of stopping, and the blonde star is sure to make waves as Harley Quinn when she stars opposite Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad.

There’s even a rumour that she will be getting her own spin-off.

Robert Kazinsky

Playing the part of Sean Slater in EastEnders, Robert Kazinsky spent three years as the unlucky-in-love character.

After moving to Hollywood, Kasinsky bucked the trend by joining the final season of True Blood as a vampire fairy hybrid that saw him lock lips with leading lady Anna Paquin before trying to kill her.

Then more success followed when the 31-year-old actor landed a role in the megabudget hit Pacific Rim, before signing on to play the lead role in Fox’s Frankenstein.

Liam Hemsworth

The Hemsworths have made huge inroads in Hollywood and it’s not just Thor… (

Back to Neighbours – and yet another global superstar in Liam Hemsworth .

The actor – who also starred in Home and Away – has laughed fans with dropped jaws, thanks to his ripped body and stellar performances.

Most famously, he has made his name in the Hunger Games series, but already has projects like The Dressmaker and By Way of Helena on the way.

Anna Friel

Anna Friel made British history when her character, Beth Jordache had a lesbian kiss in the channel 4 soap.

Shortly after this, 38-year-old Friel won the National Television Award for most popular actress on Brookside .

Although the actress racked up a few small parts over the pond, she’s best know for her role as Charlotte in Pushing Daisies.

Zaraah Abrahams

The former Waterloo Road star will next be seen in The Knick (

It’s been a bit of a mixed bag for Zaraah Abrahams ever since she left Coronation Street in 2007.

She followed it with a three-year stint on Waterloo Road, and then a series of bit parts in the likes of Bedlam and Scott & Bailey.

However, she has been cast alongside Clive Owen, Andre Holland and more in the upcoming second series of Cinemax’s period medical drama The Knick.

David Witts

David Witts 23-year-old did a short stint in EastEnders as Joey branning.

It obviously paid off as he went on to win Sexiest Male at the Inside Soap Awards and Most Popular Newcomer at the National Television Awards in 2013.

Sadly, David had bigger plans and set his sights on the American Drama, Recovery Road, where he plays a rehab counsellor.

Charlie Brooks

Charlie’s LA hopes rest on a new sitcom (

Charlie Brooks starred as Janine Butcher in EastEnders, but quit last year in a bid to broaden her horizons.

It’s still early days, but she has made a pilot of US TV show British Andy, which was penned by former Hollyoaks actor Andy Newton Lee.

A pilot is yet to be commissioned – although it’s hopeful it will be optioned by a TV station – but the slapstick comedy sees her as a parody of murderess Janine, who arrives in the States to find fame and fortune.

Max Brown

This handsome hunk paved his way in the acting field playing parts in Grange Hill, Hollyoaks , Doctors and Casualty.

Max then went on to play Edward Seymour in The Tudors for two years, as well as a leading role in the final series of Spooks, but he’s gone from strength to strength by landing a regular role on American telly.

The 34-year-old stars in Beauty and the Beast as scientist Evan Marks.

Michelle Collins

With her daughter all grown up, Michelle is ready to conquer American telly (

Michelle Collins is yet to make a big splash after her soap days came to an end.

Perhaps best-known for playing Cindy Beale in EastEnders, her exit from the show led to a stint as Stella Price on rival programme Corrie.

Last year, she appeared in an episode of Death in Paradise – so it could be that there’s more on the horizon.

Georgia May Foote

The Corrie beauty is auditioning for roles in Hollywood (

The world is Georgia May Foote ‘s oyster, but there doesn’t seem to be anything in the pipeline just yet.

The former Coronation Street beauty revealed her plans to leave the ITV soap in 2014 and is said to be on the lookout for a breakthrough role in the States.

She was seen dazzling on the ballroom floor in Strictly Come Dancing – but who knows what the future holds?

Meghan accused of ‘taking on Charles Dickens’ after Netflix show axed

GMB: Ice Cube talks about Meghan and Harry over ‘Compton’ remark

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has accused Meghan Markle of “taking on Charles Dickens” after recent news of their next project.

In his damning assessment, the royal expert said: “It is one thing for Meghan to narrate Elephant for Disney, another to take on Dickens!”

The couple are reportedly developing the show based on a feminist version of the famous classic.

Several adaptations have already been made, including one this year which featured award-winning actress Olivia Colman.

The news comes after speculation heightened over what the couple planned to do next following a string of recent blows.

Mr Fitzwilliams said: “Meghan’s animated series, Pearl, was cancelled by Netflix and Spotify were far from pleased with Archetypes.

“Harry’s documentary, Heart of Invictus is reportedly due out soon – but it’s reasonable to ask why have they done so little despite their high profile and expectations that their brand would have huge international appeal.”

Speaking of another of the couple’s recent releases, he added: “Harry’s judgement about what to include in his memoir, Spare, was badly flawed too.”

Earlier this month, rumours circulated that Meghan and Harry had been inspired to create an adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Meet By The Lake.

The couple even reportedly went as far as buying the rights to the novel, although this has not been confirmed.

Prince Harry and Meghan remain silent as they snub his aunt Princess Anne on her birthday

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not publicly wished the Princess Anne a happy birthday today, as the Princess Royal turns 73 just a couple of weeks after Meghan’s own birthday.

The Sussexes have remained estranged from the rest of the Firm since they stepped down as working royals in 2020 and relocated to Montecito in California.

As such there were no royal well-wishes on social media for Meghan when she turned 42 on August 4, however there may be another explanation for the silence from Harry’s family.

Royal correspondent Danielle Stacey explained to Hello! magazine : “In recent years and certainly since King Charles III’s reign began in September 2022, we have only seen public messages from the royal family’s social media accounts for working members of the royal family, such as the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior royals in 2020, and no longer carry out royal duties. Similarly, the palace doesn’t typically share messages on the likes of Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall’s birthdays nor their children’s special days.”

Meghan Markle to use new project to ‘redefine her identity’ and reclaim Hollywood role

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were confirmed earlier this month to have acquired the rights to adapt the hit novel Meet Me at the Lake for the screen.

The project marks a significant step away from their earlier production attempts for the streaming giant Netflix and could seal the complete departure from their royally-inspired blueprint.

And entertainment expert Mark Boardman argued the adaptation could help the Duchess of Sussex show off her experience in Hollywood .

Boardman said: “The reported acquisition of film rights suggests that while both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are involved, this project could particularly shine a spotlight on Meghan’s Hollywood career.

“Given her background in acting and her prior familiarity with the entertainment industry, the adaptation could provide her a platform to demonstrate her talents and redefine her identity in this new context.”

Princess Kate hailed as ‘master of royal protocol’ in sweet unearthed video clip with Anne

Princess Kate has been hailed as a “master of royal protocol” by fans after a video re-emerged of her on a joint engagement with the Princess Royal , who celebrates her birthday today.

In April last year Kate, who was then better known as the Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Anne visited the Royal College of Midwives for their first joint royal visit together.

Princess Kate ‘making late-night calls to Prince Harry’ claim pulled apart by insider

Princess Kate is not making any late-night phone calls to Prince Harry in an attempt to mend his relationship with Prince William , a royal commentator has said.

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have become gradually more and more distant from his family, particularly his older brother, after a a turbulent few years which saw the Sussexes leave royal life behind and set up home in California.

The couple have shared their more negative experiences of being royal through interviews, their Netflix series and Harry’s memoir Spare, in which he alleged William physically attacked him during arguments, and that he and Kate did not warm to Meghan.

Despite claims that Kate had been trying to contact Harry , Kinsey Schofield has blasted these rumours as completely untrue in an interview with Fox News.

She said: “My contacts at Kensington Palace have told me that this story has no truth to it…The Princess of Wales is not making late-night calls to Prince Harry .”

Sussexes dealt blow after Kate and William trounce them in new figures

New data compiled via TikTok has found that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are by far the most talked-about royal couple – but it is not all good news.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex , have been dealt a crushing blow in new figures pitting them against the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The couple recently became two of the most talked about figures on the social media platform TikTok , where videos covering them as a subject have racked up millions of views.

TikTokers have pitted the couples against one another, with tens of thousands of posts seeing people pick sides in heated debates on the Royal Family .

The figures showed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are by far the most talked about of the four, with billions of views on posts where they were the subject.

But that popularity is not all good, with Eileen Kwok, a social marketing specialist at Hootsuite who helped compile the research alongside Newsweek , noting that people are “highly critical” of the American royals’ relationship.

On TikTok , the number of posts over a 30-day period regarding the royals was nearly neck-and-neck for both couples, with 6,000 for the Duke and Duchess and Prince William and 5,000 for the Princess of Wales.

TikTokers posted 140,000 times about Prince Harry , and these posts received 13 billion views, with Duchess Meghan close behind on 115,000 and 11 billion views.

While they lead the UK-based Prince and Princess of Wales – who managed 79,000 and 65,000 posts and 11 billion and 10 billion views respectively – the discussion around them was, on average, more negative.

Ms Kwok said that terms associated with Princess Kate were “tennis”, “rude”, “paparazzi”, and “coronation”, while Meghan Markle was associated with “divorce”, “ Prince Harry ”, “being rude”, “narcissistic”, and “awkward”.

Ultimately, she said, the data shows the TikTok crowds are “searching for negative behaviour”, which bodes poorly for the couple with the most active searches.
