Hard to put into words what he meant to us all. From day one, he welcomed me with open arms. Endless chats about the nature of the world. Endless hilarity. So many funny stories. He was so talented: actor; writer; drummer; artist; philosopher. But more than that: he was so loved.
On what would have been his 10th birthday, thinking of this little Spider-Man today. Thinking of the joy he brought to everyone he encountered and of his giddy laughter. Thinking of our prince Harry with love and happy memories. Xxx
Terrible news today. We’ve lost one of the truly good humans. Being around
#Leah
always made the day better. One of the kindest, sweetest, loveliest people you could wish to meet. There isn’t enough space here to list her qualities. She’ll be missed always.

God, I love the NHS. I know that’s an obvious thing to say, but it truly amazes me time after time. It is peopled by the best of us. Those who seek to undermine it need to have a word with themselves. We must protect it with everything we’ve got.
What a mad night at rhe

Thank you SO much to everyone who voted. Thanks to the whole

Very hard to put into words what the remarkable Freddie Jones meant to us all. Was lucky enough to share a dressing room for over a decade. The laughs, wisdom, anecdotes, the blazing, wonderful personality, the enormous talent. Above all things, he was our lovely

Apparently 3 new payees from unregistered devices have been set up on my HSBC account this week. Scary. And it’s SO reassuring to get a heads up. Thank you, HSBC security team, you’re the absolute best and if I ever actually open an account with you, I’ll thank you personally.X
Proper heartfelt thanks to everyone for their kind words over the last few nights of

One of the most positive aspects of it all is seeing people bravely sharing their very moving personal stories about strokes and supporting each other. You’re all amazing & inspiring.X

Right. Don’t judge me: Somehow, I’ve NEVER watched an episode of
#Gogglebox
Halfway through my first viewing and I’ve nearly died laughing twice. Why didn’t any of you tell me?
In my rearview mirror saw an old man had fallen.He’d cut his head badly. Got out to help.There was no need.Within just a few seconds he was surrounded by a group of concerned, caring people helping him,bringing towels and calling ambulances. Sometimes human beings are just great.
Oh yes, you beauties!

God, that was distressing. The devastated Danish players forming a human shield around Christian Ericksen are heroes. The ref, the medics and the crowd were all extraordinary. Thank everything he’s conscious.
Profound thanks to all of you and you know why. You’re amazing, you really are. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: You. Us. We are

@SoapAwards
Every now and again you encounter pointlessly petty, small minded, nasty people on here. I don’t engage, but on the rare occasions I’m tempted, I check their timeline first and they’re ALWAYS littered with bigotry and hate and you realise that’s ALL they do. Send out spite.
4 years of that orange tool are over. It felt longer. Every day, he actively tried to make the world worse. What an absolute toilet of a human being.
#TrumpsLastDay
Got back from the supermarket to realise my debit card had fallen out of my pocket. Went back a couple of hours later to find someone had handed it in. Thanks whoever you were. You win the good human of the day award. X
Honestly, if I hear one more thing about a witch hunt....he crafted the rules whereby people had to watch loved ones die on FaceTime, stay away from family funerals, and then he did what he wanted. How does he NOT have a case to answer!?!?
Blimey. Bowled over by your kindness. So supportive and so lovely. Thank you. There’s some absolutely belting stuff coming up in
#Emmerdale
Seriously. Stay tuned. Please accept a gangling hug each. X
Recently went for my first ever (very early morning) wild swim, in what appears to be a magical realm. Had it all to myself. One of the best experiences of my life.
Massive thanks to everyone who voted all things

at the
@InsideSoapMag
awards last night. You are amazing. It’s safe to say the last few days have been a bit surreal. Xx
Some taxi chats down the years:
“I had Zak in here the other day.”
“My wife likes that Cain.”
“Is Sam like that in real life?”
“My girlfriend likes that Cain.”
“Can you really cook?”
“I like that Cain.”
“How long have you been in Eastenders?”
Thank you for all the loveliness being expressed about all the stories unfolding in Thursday’s episode. Your response means everything. There is so much great stuff over the coming months in
#Emmerdale

Thanks for all the kindnesses about the show tonight. So lovely. So supportive. Absolute kudos to

You know a bag of Liquorice Allsorts, yeah? The speckly pink or blue ones are clearly the best, right? Obvs. ONE! I ONLY GOT ONE! Somebody call the police. I’ve been robbed.
Before I drink all of the wine in Britain, I just wanted to wish all of you a happy new year. It’s got to be better, right? RIGHT? It’d have to be an absolute toilet to be worse. Here’s to all the best parts of human nature stepping up. Love, love, love and lanky hugs all round.
Very, very sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful actor
Michael Jayston.He graced
#Emmerdale
with his performance as Donald De Souza some years ago and worked extensively in film,tv & theatre. Completely charming and blessed with a beautiful voice,he was an absolute gent.
Tonight (Fri),for the 1st time in the show’s history,

@ITV
was excellent. Superb performances throughout by a tremendous cast, brilliantly written and directed. An astounding story, expertly told.
Today I left a cafe to take a call. I walked straight into a man. Then I walked back in through the wrong door into what turned out to be a different shop, then corrected that by walking into the cafe’s toilet instead of the actual cafe. But how was YOUR day?
Hope you can tune into

once made my year. I saw him at an event and I took ages building up the courage to speak to him. I finally headed over and I as I approached he looked up and said “Hello, Marlon”. I didn’t stop beaming all night. So sad he’s passed. What a loss.
The great
#SheilaMercier
has left us. What an iconic character Annie Sugden was. Used to watch it with my grandparents as a boy, so to meet her in later years was a thrill. I was star struck and she was so lovely to me. RIP.
Dear Person From This Morning,
If you’re driving at 30 in a 60 zone FOR MILES,that’s fine,but when the road finally widens out & I go to overtake you, maybe don’t at that point speed up to try and cut me off out of spite,because it’s dangerous,yeah?That’d be great.
Love you!x
Ah,
#BarbaraWindsor
was so very, very lovely. And when you were lucky enough to meet her, she never ever let you feel like you were talking to a legend, even though you were. RIP x
Ah, no. Not

First glass of Vimto in about 20 years and I’m right back to childhood. Later, I plan to eat a packet of Spangles and watch a Goodies box set. Happy Boxing Day everyone. X

They voted it down. They essentially voted to keep kids hungry rather than help. I’m staggered. What have we left when we subtract empathy from everything?
Blimey !! What a lovely response to tonight’s prison stuff. Sincerely touched.

is off the scale good. Monumental thanks and admiration to directors

When you vote today, ask yourself this: Why has Johnson evaded the key interviews? Why is their manifesto so flimsy and vague? What are they hiding? 10 years of cuts to public services. Hundreds of thousands in poverty, including countless children. We can all do better.
Was lucky enough to meet one of my childhood heroes, Bobby Ball, on a few occasions down the years and he was always kind enough to make time to talk. On every one of those occasions, without fail, he had me creased with laughter. What a sad day. What a loss. What a legend.
My brain is spinning watching ‘anti maskers’ blabbering “..blah blah..something nonsensical about freedom..blah..a metaphor about seatbelts that doesn’t make sense...blah.”What a pathetic little hill to die on.Literally. It’s not a big ask & it’s not just about YOU
#WearADamnMask
I haven’t left the bounds of my property for over a month, but I woke up at the crack of dawn and decided to go for a quick run. I was nearly home when a huge rat ran across my parh. I’d like to apologise to anyone in the neighbourhood woken by the VERY BAD WORDS I screamed. Soz.
OUR FEARLESS LEADERS:
“Oh my god,we’ve lost £4.3 BILLION to Covid fraud!”
“Really? How embarrassing. Write it off…?”
“Yeah, sod it.”
“People can’t afford to pay basic household bills.”
“Bung ‘em £200 each. They’ll love that.”
“Sigh. Fine.”
“…They’ll have to pay it back, mind!”
Oh dear. I decided to pick a random head from my bag of heads tonight. So I closed my eyes, stuck my hand in and it turns out I picked my drinking head.
Happy 50th birthday,
#Emmerdale
An amazing place peopled by amazing human beings. What extraordinary luck to be part of that. Thanks to everyone who watches and supports the show. You’re the absolute best. ❤️❤️❤️Tonight’s episode is jaw-dropping. Hope you enjoy it. Love you! Xxx
Just did an extended workout. Absolutely shattered. Saw my very elderly neighbour through the window and waved before quickly realising it was a mirror.
Today I underwent major surgery: A Mulletectomy. A team of skilled surgeons laboured for 8 long hours to cut away my lockdown party hair that was corkscrewing below my neckline, turning it into a 1980s free-for-all back there. My thanks to each of them.
Knee hurting after a session on the exercise bike and then a walk today. Nothing seemed to help until I tried this natural remedy and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The guy in the shop kept calling it “wine” which I think must be its informal name.
Loved being back filming a fantastic
@Emmerdale
episode yesterday with

@aaron_ants

@ianbevitt
for his brilliance.The team’s done a truly jaw-dropping job of keeping everyone safe.Blimey,but I’ve missed it!
You know that “Mind The Gap” thing on the tube? Well, I didn’t mind the gap. I didn’t mind that gap at all and fell flat on my face and now I’m covered in bruises and shame.
