“After I read these scripts, I got really emotional – I had encountered a racial verbal attack myself recently, so it brought it all back for me,” explains EastEnders star Gurlaine Kaur Garcha, aka Ash, as she talks to us about the confronting scenes her character has to deal with this week. “I was going through those same feelings I had when it happened to me, but I felt like I had a responsibility to show people that they can challenge these things. “It’s important to explain why it’s not right and not let people get away with it,” she adds. “I really wanted to do it justice; it was a shock to read the script, but something I was on board to do.” Sadly the prejudice Ash faces this…

As the second series of daytime quiz Winning Combination continues this week, host Omid Djalili talks us through his top telly… What’s been your favourite drama you’ve watched recently? I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but it’s Cobra Kai on Netflix – the reboot of The Karate Kid. I have absolutely adored every single moment of that. And what about comedy-wise? My two favourites are Curb Your Enthusiasm and Frasier – they’re the ones I watch over and over again. I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the greatest-ever comedies: there’s no better satire on metropolitan liberal society. What were your favourite shows when you were growing up? One was Cheers, with Ted Danson – I thought that was fantastic. And there was a cop show called Hill Street…

Say what you like about Bernice Blackstock – she’s never afraid to go for what she wants in life. It might often end in disaster and humiliation, but at least she’s true to herself. We love her because she makes us laugh and cringe all at once, which is down to Emmerdale favourite Samantha Giles’ playful performance.

The family loyalty – they have that like no other. They’re so destructive, but what rises above all else is the loyalty and the closeness between them. It’s an amazing quality and it’s great to play that out. “It’s been a huge year for us all as a family, and individually too,” she continues. “I’ve been really enjoying the storylines, and we’ve still got so much more to show. There’s some great stuff coming up, so keep your eyes peeled!”…
