Pity they didn't just cut his b***s off!
EastEnders star Jo Joyner has offered her backing to a pet fostering scheme organised by dog welfare charity Dogs Trust.
The actress spoke out in support of the idea, called the Freedom Project, after being informed of how fears for a pet's safety can often prevent a domestic violence victim from seeking refuge away from home.
Under the Freedom Project, volunteers care for dogs while their usual owner concentrates on starting a new life away from an abusive partner. Those who accept the responsibility do not incur any costs as Dogs Trust provides pet food and covers any veterinary bills.
Speaking of the scheme, Joyner - best known as Walford's Tanya Branning - commented: "I've been lucky and haven't had first hand experience of domestic violence, but I was appalled to learn that pets can be used to intimidate and control victims in an abusive situation.
"Our family had rescue dogs when I was growing up and I can totally understand how victims of domestic violence could find it so hard to leave their pet, especially if they've been their only source of love and comfort in bad times. I'm appealing to animal lovers and asking them to consider becoming a foster carer."
The Freedom Project was set up six years ago and more than 700 pets have been fostered since then. Prospective carers must have experience with dogs and live in Greater London, Hertfordshire or Yorkshire.
Digital Spy soaps editor Kris Green is to join the production team of EastEnders next month.
Kris, who has been with DS for more than seven years, will work as part of a new team of storyliners at the soap. The role will see Kris help develop future story arcs, in addition to storylining specific episodes.
Bryan Kirkwood, EastEnders executive producer, said of Kris's appointment: "If anyone knows what it takes to make a good soap storyline, it's Kris Green. He has been the audience's representative on Digital Spy for the last 7 years, so it's a real coup to have him on board the EastEnders storylining team. I'm really looking forward to working with him."
Neil Wilkes, Editor of Digital Spy, said: "I am terribly sad to see Kris leave us after all this time but couldn't be happier for him in landing this new role. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him publicly for being an instrumental part of developing not only our soaps offering but also the shape of DS at large over the last decade. He's going to be an amazing addition to the 'Enders team - and if he has any sense, his first order of business will be to lobby for the return of Dr. Legg."
Kris said: "The past seven years with Digital Spy have been nothing short of incredible. It's been a privilege to work alongside such a hardworking and dedicated group of people who I'm proud to call my friends. In particular, I'd like to thank Neil Wilkes and James Welsh for affording me such a vast opportunity from the outset. I'll miss DS tremendously.
"I'd like to thank press officers, cast members, producers and most importantly readers for their continued support over the years.
"However, I'm so honoured to be joining the story team at EastEnders and to be working alongside some of the greatest minds in continuing drama. EastEnders is a national institution and I can't wait to embark on this exciting new challenge."
Daniel Kilkelly, Digital Spy's longest-serving reporter, will replace Kris as soaps editor from mid-July.
IT’S handbags at dawn as gay soap stars John Partridge and Anthony Cotton launch a full-on bitch fight.
Partridge, 38, who plays Christian Clarke in EastEnders, branded Cotton’s Corrie character Sean Tully a “teatime gay”.
He also thinks Christian has got edgier storylines.
He said of his character: “What I didn’t want as a stereotype was what I call a teatime gay, the Sean Tully type.
“I’ve worked in theatre for 20 years and there are lots of queens in the West End that look and act like that.”
But Cotton, 34, hit back: “This is from a man who on the same day goes on Elaine Paige’s show and reveals how he hoovers dressed in a catsuit.”
Oh he can come roujd and hoover my floors any time
Coronation Street star Antony Cotton has reportedly hit back at John Partridge after the EastEnders actor branded his Weatherfield character a "stereotype" of a homosexual man.
In a magazine interview earlier this year, Partridge admitted that he did not want his Walford alter ego Christian Clarke to be anything like Cotton's character Sean Tully, explaining that it was important to represent other members of the gay community.
Speaking at the time, Partridge remarked: "What I didn't want as a stereotype was what I call a teatime gay. The Sean Tully type of character is the reason my character is here.
"I've worked in theatre for 20 years and there are lots of queens in the West End that look and act like that."
According to the Daily Star, Cotton has now responded to Partridge's comments by saying: "This is from a man who on the same day goes on Elaine Paige's show and reveals how he hoovers dressed in a catsuit."
Partridge's character Christian is currently involved in a high-profile gay storyline with practising Muslim Syed Masood (Marc Elliott).
Antony Cotton has denied that he is involved in a feud with EastEnders star John Partridge.
The Coronation Street actor responded to an earlier report that he had hit back at comments Patridge made earlier this year.
In a message on Twitter, he wrote: "And contrary to a report in the Daily Star - there is no war of words going on with me and Johnny Partridge. End of. As you were please..."
The 34-year-old also revealed that he was alarmed to be informed of a message calling for him to be shot.
"What you think of me is none of my business. But when a friend alerts me to a post requesting someone to shoot me I am naturally alarmed," he wrote.
Cotton previously used his Twitter to deny tabloid reports that he and co-star Katherine Kelly did not get on.
EASTENDERS star Barbara Windsor can't hide her disgust as a bird drops a nasty surprise over her hair and down the back of her neck.
Babs, 72, screamed: "It burns, get it off me," after the direct hit during a filming break.
A costume assistant rushed over to clean her up - but couldn't wipe the scowl off her face.
