  6. EastEnders star Colin Salmon has teased a ‘very disturbing’ story on the BBC One soap. The 63-year old actor, who has played George Knight for the last two years, has been at the centre of several huge storylines during that time. Arriving to take over The Vic, his estranged wife Rose soon arrived to threaten his future with partner Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe). It soon transpired that Rose was actually the pseudonym of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), who had met him during her years in witness protection. When she couldn’t win back George’s affections, she turned to his son – her former step-son – Junior (Micah Balfour) instead. Yikes. While this was happening, he discovered that his parents had adopted him through a baby farming scheme in the 60s. His birth parents eventually wanted him back, and in a bid to stop them, his adoptive father brutally murdered his birth father. As the trial got underway, his adoptive mum passed away and he discovered he had two brothers still living in Ghana. Just as his life began to calm down, Cindy was brutally attacked on Christmas Day with a snow shovel and he became prime suspect, and then Elaine separated from him after she cheated. Colin’s character George has been at the centre of several huge stories (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) He recently started a new relationship with Nicola Mitchell (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) And judging by Colin’s hints, things aren’t about to get any easier! ‘Never seen before’ EastEnders story incomingColin appeared on Good Morning Britain on Friday, where he dropped several huge clues as to what the new plot could be. Speaking to hosts Rob Rinder and Charlotte Hawkins he said: ‘We’ve got another storyline you haven’t seen before. ‘I did the farming storyline, we have another storyline that is perfect for this time, it’s real, it’s really disturbing and it’s coming.’ When pushed for more details, Colin replied: ‘I can’t tell you what it is.’ Could the story be tied into Anna’s departure? (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) We do know that his on-screen daughter Anna (Molly Rainford) is set to depart in the coming months. Could it be connected to her exit? A spokesperson told Metro: ‘We can confirm that Molly Rainford will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish her all the best for the future.’ Colin confirms his future on the showColin took to social media yesterday to shut down rumours that he was moving to America to start a new life with his wife of 37 years Fiona Hawthorne. I have not given up my career or bought a house in America,’ he said on X.‘And my wife is not in her last days. Life is good and life is precious.’ He capped off the statement by using the hashtag ‘SeeYouAtCarnival2025’, referring to the upcoming Notting Hill Carnival celebrations, the annual Caribbean Carnival event that has taken place in London since 1966. Visual artist Fiona, with whom he has four children, lives with a rare condition called interstitial lung disease, and is now dependent on an oxygen tank. After her diagnosis, she was prescribed steroids and received chemotherapy treatment, which makes it difficult for oxygen to enter a person’s bloodstream. Colin’s comments online seem to contradict what he told GMB, where he said: ‘Well, I think at the time I mentioned my wife was unwell, which has been resolved. ‘My wife is well, she had the surgery, and I bought a house in America on July 1, we’re in a completely different place. ‘Being in Walford, part of the plan for me was, I always see the BBC as the university of broadcasting, so there I can learn and there I may get the opportunity to start to go down that road with really great crews to make sure I get it right.’ View full article

  15. Cook:35 Mins Serves: 4 Ingredients27g pack Asda Original Porridge Oat Sachets (or a small bowl – approx. 150g – of leftover porridge) 300ml semi-skimmed milk 90g set honey 1 tsp lemon juice (or vinegar) 2 eggs 250g plain flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda about 2 tsp vegetable oil, for frying 100g Exceptional by Asda West Country Butter, softened 1/8 tsp cinnamon blueberries (optional) MethodMake the porridge to packet instructions using 180ml milk, until thickened, or use your leftovers. Mix in a large bowl with 15g honey until melted. Stir through the remaining 120ml milk and lemon juice before beating in the eggs until light and airy (about a min). For extra fluffy results, separate the eggs, add yolks to the batter, whip the white to stiff peaks then mix through. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together until combined then whisk gently into the batter, adding a splash more milk if very thick. Add a drop of vegetable oil to kitchen paper and use to wipe the base of a wide, non-stick frying pan. Heat over a medium-high heat. Make the pancakes in batches, adding 2 dessertspoons of batter per pancake to the pan. Cook for 10 secs, then reduce the heat to medium-low for 4–5 mins, until starting to set on top. Flip, turn the heat back up to medium-high for another 10–15 secs, before reducing the temperature again to cook for 4–6 mins more until well-browned and cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest of your pancakes, carefully wiping the pan with fresh oil between each batch. To make the honey butter, whisk the softened butter with 75g honey and the cinnamon for 2–3 mins, until light and fluffy. Serve 3 warm pancakes per person, dotted generously with the cinnamon honey butter and toppings like berries. Jar up any leftover butter. View full article

Add the lamb mince. Cook for 5–6 mins or until golden brown all over. Break up with a wooden spoon as you go. Don’t use oil as the lamb releases fat as it cooks.

Add the potatoes to a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 mins until cooked through. Drain well and leave to steam for 5 mins before returning to the pan. Mash with the milk and ½ butter until smooth, then season. 4.For the filling, discard the bay leaves from the lamb mixture. Transfer to a baking dish around 20x30cm. Top with the mash and use the back of a spoon to create ridges. Dot with the remaining butter and bake for 35–40 mins until golden and bubbling. Grill for 2–3 mins to get the top more golden. Leave for 10 mins before serving. View full article
