EastEnders Shirley Carter star Linda Henry reunites with TV son Danny Dyer
Danny Dyer's EastEnders mother Linda Henry is joining him for the second series of Mr Bigstuff.
Soap icon Danny, Brassic favourite and series creator Ryan Sampson and Big Boys star Harriet Webb return in series two of the comedy, premiering this July on Sky and NOW.
Series one earned Danny his first-ever BAFTA TV award for his performance as Lee Campbell, the estranged brother of Glen, played by Ryan.
Set in suburban Essex, the series was a huge hit with audiences, becoming Sky Max's highest-rated new original comedy in three years.
Series two picks up two weeks after the shock news that the brothers' dad's not actually dead, and Lee and Glen are handling it very differently.
But, with chaos mounting and questions piling up, the brothers unite on a mission to track him down.
Meanwhile, Kirsty's taking charge in the bedroom and the boardroom, but one badly timed kiss - and a mysterious blackmailer -threaten to bring it all crashing down.
With secrets spilling and tempers flaring, it's only a matter of time before the family blows up - again.
The brothers aren't the only ones bringing chaos – first-look images tease guest stars including Danny's former EastEnders co-star Linda as Pam.
Known for her portrayal of Shirley Carter in EastEnders, Linda reunites with Danny to play Pam, a no-nonsense, hands-on mechanic at the family haulage firm.
Fellow EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson, who played Barry Evans, will also make a guest appearance as an angry clown in episode five.
Guest-starring in episode two, Rula Lensk, renowned for her roles in Coronation Street and her memorable appearance on Celebrity Big Brothe, delivers high comedy as Rita, an eccentric and flirtatious woman the brothers believe is connected to their missing dad, Don Campbell.
Also joining series two are Ryan's Brassic co-stars Tom Hanson and Parth Thakerar, as well as Shobna Gulati (Coronation Street) David Mumeni (Stath Lets Flats) and Alan Ford (Snatch).
Returning cast include Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey), Fatiha El-Ghorri (Taskmaster), Victoria Alcock (Bad Girls), Ned Dennehy (Peaky Blinders) and and Clive Russell (Ripper Street).

Coronation Street's Nina ‘works out' what she and Summer did in spoiler video
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A newly released Coronation Street spoiler clip reveals the growing tension between Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) as they grapple with the lingering effects of the drug-fuelled night they can barely recall. Still shaken, the girls are haunted by hazy memories and rising panic. As they try to piece together what really happened, a terrifying thought begins to take hold: What if the figure they vaguely remember was Gary Windass (Mikey North), and it wasn't just a hallucination? Could they have unintentionally hurt him…and is that why he's now missing? Nina is clearly consumed by guilt, fearing that they could be somehow involved with Gary's disappearance. She voices her concerns to Summer in Roy's, but Summer urges her that they must move on and try to forget about that night, and it was possibly just a hallucination as a result of the drugs. But Nina can't let it go. Meanwhile, Gary's disappearance becomes official when Maria reports him missing to the police. DS Kit reveals that a man has been admitted to the hospital in a coma, sparking Lisa's suspicion that it could be Gary. However, hopes are dashed when Kit later confirms the patient isn't him, though he promises Maria he'll do all he can to find her husband. More Trending With Gary now officially missing and no explanation for his absence, the weight of the unknown begins to take its toll on Nina. Her sense of dread deepens when she overhears Maria confiding that Gary hasn't made any bank transactions since June 23rd, the very night they're concerned about. Summer attempts to reassure her, pointing out there's been no police report of an assault. But Nina remains unconvinced. At the hospital, Gary lies unconscious as a nurse tells a visitor that 'Chesney' is improving, but who is this mysterious woman sitting by Gary's bedside? And why is she keeping his identity a secret? As the mystery deepens, a series of flashbacks start to unravel what really happened that night, one things for certain the truth will come out in the end.

SAS star becomes dad again aged 48 as baby arrives 5 weeks early
Jason Fox and his wife have announced the birth of a baby boy, five weeks prematurely. The SAS: Who Dares Wins star, who has daughters Honor, 14, and Amy from previous relationships, and his third wife, Jules Fox, welcomed Jack into the world on June 8. Expressing their joy, they shared a series of sweet photos that showed them bonding with the newborn. Captioning the picture carousel that was posted on Jason's Instagram account on Thursday, he revealed the little one's full name. 'Jack Conrad Fox. 8th June 2025. Five weeks early.' Heaping praise on his other half, he declared: '@julesfoxter has been and is amazing!' Jason described his baby boy as 'epic' and joked that he's already 'brilliant at immobilising [him]' by lying across his chest, sleeping soundly. Many of the 48-year-old ex-Royal Marine and Jules' celebrity pals congratulated the couple on the birth of Jack in the post's comments section. Saira Khan, 55—who, in 2023, took part in the celebrity version of the Channel 4 show that sees stars be put through the Special Air Services screening process to test their mental, emotional, and physical strength—wrote: 'Huge congratulations!' Reality TV star Ferne McCann, 34—who starred in the 2022 series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins—penned: 'So so happy for you and @julesfoxter. He is absolutely gorgeous.' And former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley, 41, said: 'Oh so gorgeous!! Huge congratulations xx'. Jason's fans also jumped into the carousel's comment section to fawn over baby Jack, declaring him 'a little cutie' and voicing their happiness for the growing family. Jason, whose teen daughter came from his marriage to second wife Lucy Culkin, has previously opened up about his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)—a mental health condition that is caused by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. He developed this following his two decades in the British Army, having joined the Royal Marines Commandos in 1992 at the age of just 16. In 2001, he joined the Special Boat Service and reached the rank of Sergeant. However, in April 2012, he was medically discharged from service due to his PTSD diagnosis. Irrespective of his own struggles, though, Jason would support his children if they wanted to join the military. He told Metro in March: 'I'd tell them to think long and hard about whether it was right for them. 'Once I'd made sure they had thought about it properly, I'd be fully behind them, as my parents were with me.' Jason, aka Foxy, has also openly admitted that his life in the military took a toll on his home life as he tried to juggle his army commitments with being a present father and husband. More Trending Speaking to Spencer Matthews on his Big Fish podcast, Jason reflected on the drive and passion his military stint gave him: 'It gave me a lot of confidence; it taught me that I've got more confidence than I thought I had.' 'My 'why' [in life] was my love for being a soldier. I enjoyed the craft of soldiering. There's a lot more to it than just running around shouting and stuff.' However, the imbalance in his high-intensity, stressful professional life and his home life contributed to his mental health struggles. View More » 'It had a massive impact on me mentally … but the reason it had an impact on me is because I didn't know how to balance my work life with my home life. And I was a great soldier—I was a s**t husband and a s**t father because I didn't know how to balance it.' Got a story?

Danny Dyer and Vicky McClure lead the way as Oasis reunite after 16 years
A string of famous faces have been spotted at Oasis' first reunion gig in Cardiff, the first time the brothers have been seen together on stage in 16 years A string of famous faces are in the crowds as Oasis reunites after 16 years. Tonight's gig in Cardiff marks over a decade since Noel and Liam Gallagher performed with one another. The band were seen walking to the stage with their song 'F**king in the Bushes' before they then started performing their song 'Hello'. The crowd welcomed them with cheers at the sold out gig. In the audience was the likes of EastEnders star Danny Dyer as well as Line Of Duty actress Vicky McClure. Vernon Kay also posed for pictures outside Principality Stadium. "Hey, beautiful people, it's been too long," Liam told the crowd, which has also included the likes of Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis as well as Dominic Mohan and Andy Goldstein. Click here for the Mirror's live updates on the Oasis tour. Meg Mathews - Noel's ex-wife - was also spotted at the gig, The Mirror can exclusively reveal. Noel and Meg's daughter Anais was also seen at the venue. Earlier today, Meg shared a string of snaps of her and Noel, writing alongside it: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here ….OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge. "It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life. To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history." Referencing the photo, she added: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then." Meg had recently been forced to deny they were back together after she posted snaps of them kissing. During a 2020 interview with the Irish Mirror, Meg admitted she used to get terrible PTSD. She said: "I came through the marriage. Everything was public. At the end of the day I did not have the cog or the PR world that that person (Noel) had. "I was just the ex-wife. I had nobody. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a press agent, wasn't famous, I just had a daughter. I used to get terrible PTSD. In 1997 I was the third most written about woman. It was Lady Diana, The Spice Girls and me." For those fans hoping to get a last minute ticket to Oasis' reunion gigs, the band are set to release a few final tickets. In a statement, they said: "As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days."
