Stars of huge noughties drama send fans wild as they reunite 15 years after show was axed
THE stars of a huge noughties drama sent fans wild when they reunited this weekend 15 years after the show was axed.
Viewers were left gutted in 2010 when the popular series came to an abrupt end after four seasons.
And last night Vanessa Williams was back together with her Ugly Betty co-star America Ferrera.
Actress and singer Vanessa, 61, is currently starring as Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wears Prada musical and was thrilled when America, 40, went to see the show.
She took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of them posing together and wrote: “Look who stopped by Runway Magazine!
“@americaferrera definitely had some deja vu remembering our Mode Magazine days together on #uglybetty.
“We were all thrilled to have you in our audience on a Saturday night in the West End at @pradawestend.”
Excited fans rushed to comment, with one writing: “I don’t think you understand how much the world would love for Ugly Betty to come back.”
Another said: “Somebody! Give us the Ugly Betty reunion movie we all want!”
And a third added: “This is iconic!!”
America starred as main character Betty Suarez in the series, which focused on the highs and lows Betty faced while working at fashion magazine Mode.
Most of the lows were thanks to the scheming ways of creative director Wilhemina Slater, played by Vanessa.
The show also starred the likes of Ashley Jensen as seamstress Christina McKinney, Eric Mabius as editor-in-chief Daniel Meade and Becky Netwon as receptionist Amanda Tanen Sommers.
Becky, 46, and Michael Urie – who starred as Wilhemina’s assistant Mark St James – recently teamed up to launch rewatch podcast Still Ugly, breathing new life into the beloved series.
And Ana Ortiz, who played Betty’s sister Hilda, has insisted the entire cast is on board for a reboot.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Ana, 54, said: “There’s been so much talk about it, thank you for asking.
“We’re very, very close and we’re all really wanting to do a reunion.”
Wynne Evans’ Strictly Come Dancing probe to be pushed back over mental health concerns
WYNNE Evans’ showdown with the BBC has been put back by weeks over concerns for his mental health.
The Welsh tenor was sacked from the Strictly live tour and suspended from his BBC Radio Wales show last month following accusations he used inappropriate language.
Wynne, 53, had vowed to fight to save his reputation and told friends he would take the BBC to a tribunal if he lost his radio job.
But a planned meeting with the Beeb to discuss his future has now been put on hold.
A source said: “Wynne was due to meet the BBC last week to talk about the concerns raised against him and how, if they could, move forward.
“Wynne was ready to fight but in recent weeks he has been struggling mentally.
“The stress of what has happened to his reputation has been weighing heavily on his mind.
“The decision has been made to postpone the meeting by a couple of weeks to allow Wynne time to get his head straight.”
The Sun told earlier this month that Wynne felt he had been knifed by the BBC over his Strictly tour axe.
The Go Compare singer was sacked over a sexual comment during the tour’s press launch.
Those close to him said Wynne’s remark was not, as alleged, aimed at Strictly pro Janette Manrara, and was an in-joke.
They said: “Wynne knows the meaning behind his comment and, to his frustration, so do many of the dancers and celebrities on the tour.
“He is heartbroken by how this all played out and is upset that no one has spoken out to defend him publicly. The comment didn’t offend anyone and no one complained.
“Wynne feels badly let down.”
Following his tour exit Wynne said he had agreed to step away from his role on BBC Wales.
It was later claimed there were two other times concerns were raised to the BBC about his choice of words — once on his Radio Wales show and another while filming BBC1’s All At Sea with Gavin & Stacey’s Joanna Page.
EastEnders confirms key member of Fowler family IS returning – following Martin’s tragic death
EASTENDERS has confirmed a key member of the Fowler family IS returning – following Martin’s tragic death.
The character – played by James Bye – passed away in tragic scenes during Thursday’s live episode to mark EastEnders’ 40th anniversary.
Following his death, fans have speculated over which remaining members of the Fowler family will return for his funeral, which was pictured for the first time earlier on Sunday.
Bosses of the BBC soap went on to confirmed that Vicki Fowler – Martin’s niece – will be returning, but with a new actress taking on the role.
Now, EastEnders has confirmed fans’ hopes that Bex Fowler, Martin’s daughter, will return to Walford for his funeral.
Following a first look clip released on Sunday, showing Bex’s mum Sonia calling her daughter to give her the devastating news, Bex will jet in after years spent travelling the world to be with her mum and the rest of the family as they lay Martin to rest.
The tragedy will hit Bex hard as she tries to adjust to everything that’s happened in her absence, including Sonia’s incarceration for murder and the arrival of her newborn sister.
Actress Jasmine Armfield will reprise her role as Bex for a short stint, five years after leaving EastEnders in 2020.
Speaking of Bex’s return, EastEnders Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jasmine home to EastEnders as part of Martin’s farewell.
“There’s no way that Bex would miss her dad’s funeral, and Sonia needs her eldest daughter more than ever.
“It’s been five years in which Bex has gone out into the world, so she’ll come back with renewed wisdom and experience.”
On her return as Bex Fowler, Jasmine Armfield said: “It’s wonderful to be back at EastEnders and to see so many familiar faces.
“It’s amazing for me to come home, but for Bex, it’s an absolutely devastating time because she’s lost her dad.
“She’s grown up a lot, having spent the past few years travelling, so we’re going to see a much more mature and grown-up version of Bex this time around.”
