Corrie’s Rula Lenska breaks down on DNA Journey

CORRIE legend Rula Lenska breaks down as she makes a shocking discovery about her great aunt in an emotional episode of DNA Journey.

Countess Rula, 74, was joined by her co-star and friend Dame Maureen Lipman, 75, to explore their DNA journeys in the heartwarming ITV show on Tuesday.

As the famous friends – who met on Coronation Street – travelled to Warsaw in Poland, Rula came to a startling discovery about Rula’s great aunt.

An emotional Rula broke down in tears after finding out her great aunt helped an orphanage escape the Warsaw ghetto in 1940.

The historian and genealogist guide explained to Rula the history of her family during the time of the Warsaw ghettos.

They learned that more than 400,000 Jews, nearly a third of the city’s population, were forced to live in the conditions, enclosed by a 10-metre wall and barbed wire.

Anyone who tried to escape was shot on sight, and a quarter of the civilians died of starvation and disease.

Rula’s great aunt, Maria Hutten-Czapska, was a member of an underground movement helping to rescue Jewish orphans imprisoned inside.

Coronation Street veteran fired after taking sneaky selfie

A CORRIE extra who has worked on set for 36 years has been fired for using his mobile for a selfie with Andi Peters.

Matthew Davidge, 54, had nipped to the loo during filming on Friday when he spotted the Good Morning Britain host, 52.

Andi, who was filming a competition, agreed to pose for the photo as a GMB film crew colleague took the picture.

But on Monday Matthew was fired from his acting agency, Industry Model Management.

The agency said he breached the terms of his contract which bans actors from using their mobiles on set.

Matthew said: “I’m speechless. I’ve worked on the set of Corrie on and off since 1986. I’ve never had a complaint and I’ve loved every minute of it. Now, it’s all over.

“You’re not supposed to have your phone out on set but everyone does. It’s a rule that’s never really been enforced.

“When I asked him for a photograph it was all a bit of a laugh and he smiled and said, ‘No problem’.

“The whole interaction took less than a minute.

“Now I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills.”

Fans think Ben had a lucky escape from following the men and getting into a fight.

One wrote: “I’m not a fan of Ballum but I think they did good in showing the different sides in dealing with the attack.

“Ben is scared of even holding hands, of being targeted again and Callum is simply saying ignore them.”

A second said: “Proud of Callum! Although to be honest, his tolerance of Ben is mega high.”

EASTENDERS’ Ben Mitchell will be exposed as a vigilante after making a fatal mistake with one of his victims.

The murderer – who killed Heather Trott over a decade ago – let his temper get the better of him again in recent scenes on the BBC soap.

The Albert Square local – who is played by actor Max Bowden – let his violent streak back out in the wake of the attack.
