MobLand star Lisa Dwan announces the tragic death of her beloved dad on Father's Day as co-stars and famous friends pay tribute
MobLand star Lisa Dwan shared a bittersweet Father's Day post as she announced the death of her beloved dad Liam on Sunday The Irish actress, 47, who plays lawyer O'Hara Delaney in the Guy Ritchie series, took to her Instagram with the sad news. No cause of death was given. Alongside snaps of herself and her father, who died aged 85, Lisa wrote: 'Liam Dwan always knew how to make an entrance and today on Fathers Day of all days an exit. My Dad 1939 -2025 RIP'. Co-stars and famous friends rushed to the comments with Joanne Froggatt posting support heart emojis while This Morning's Clodagh McKenna wrote: 'Oh darling.... I'm so sorry May he rest in peace. Sending love xxxx'. Liam was known as an amateur actor in his home town of Athlone, in County Westmeath, Ireland. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Sharing insight into her theatrical family, she told the Irish Times in 2021: 'I had an Aunt Rita who was an amazing actress. I had an Uncle Dennis who was an opera singer, and there was Pauline … They were all on the stage.' As well as an award winning stage career, Lisa has also starred in BBC's Bloodlands with James Nesbitt and Netflix's Top Boy. In the ten-part Paramount+ drama MobLand Tom Hardy plays the fixer Harry Da Souza to Pierce Brosnan 's crime boss Conrad Harrigan and wife Maeve, played by Dame Helen Mirren. As well as his dodgy dealings Harry is trying to salvage his marriage and avoid couples' therapy with his wife Jan (Downton Abbey 's Joanne Froggatt). Tom told Radio Times: 'He's a dad, he has a partner and kills people, the compartmentalisation is what makes him fascinating because nothing spills into other compartments'. In one scene Harry threatens a man in hopistal and quips: 'I, or possibly one of my associates, depending on my availability, will find you'. Speaking about the unlikely comedy in the show, he said: 'I think making something very pedestrian or civilised can turn the tone of a scene into something with an element of comedy'. The action star, whose father Chips Hardy, 75, with whom he co-created BBC series Taboo, won numerous award for writing for Irish comedian Dave Allen, was then asked if he was usually considered for straight forward comedic roles. 'The scripts that I get are fairly funny but tend to often be connected to really dark matter, Which others might find unpalatable but I find absolutely normal,' before adding: 'There's a wicked humour in sitting in pain.' Tom was then quick to shut down suggestions that the series, which co-star Brosnan, 72, described as 'twisted', glamourised violence. 'It's not glamorous, it's horrible, Violence and cruelty has existed in literature and theatre from the Iliad and the Odyssey, to the Bible and Dante's Inferno. 'I think when it comes to art, nothing is really sacred – it's a safe place to play and evoke conversation. We watch in order to better understand the human condition'. It comes after Tom opened up about his various health woes in a candid chat with Esquire magazine. He posed for a striking photoshoot to accompany the interview, which saw him share the cover with his French bulldog Blue. During the interview, he opened up about various surgeries he's undergone over the years and the way he's trying to build his strength up - but did admit one unhealthy habit - he vapes. Tom told the interviewer: 'I've had two knee surgeries now, my disc's herniated in my back, I've got sciatica as well. 'And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? [inflammation of foot tissue]. Where did that come from? And why? Why?! And I pulled my tendon in my hip as well. It's like, it's all falling to bits now, and it's not going to get better. Unless you do all the stem cells... 'This is the biopsy of where we're at: two vapes, somebody else's clothes, and a hotel room that neither of us feels comfortable in.' Tom previously revealed that he needed to undergo surgery on his knee as a result of injuries sustained from filming stunts and practising jiu-jitsu. Later in the interview, Tom was described by the interviewer as stopping mid-answer to 'wheeze' and then 'suck' on the vape before continuing. The actor has previously been spotted vaping while filming Guy Ritchie's The Fixer earlier this year. The Peaky Blinders star also revealed that he had taken Sudafed that day to fight dizziness, before suggesting that he had been losing his hair, his teeth were loose and his knees were getting weaker.

Blankety Blank viewers heartbroken as BBC announces death of star just months before episode aired
Fans of the TV comedy game show Blankety Blank were left startled when they learned that Saturday night's winning contestant had sadly passed away – before his episode was broadcast. The Liverpool-born RAF Veteran, Nathanael Hill, appeared on the show the evening of June 14th, when he walked away with the jackpot prize. But it was later confirmed by the BBC that he had passed away a few months prior to the episode's airing, aged 39 as the show's credits displayed a heartfelt tribute. The emotional segment was aired at the end of Saturday's episode - a photo of Nathanael on horseback, accompanied by the words 'Nathanael Hill 1985-2025.' Nathaniel passed away on April 25, according to the Liverpool Echo. Fans of the show were left seriously 'distraught' by the sad news and stormed X with comments as they sweetly remembered the TV's star, penning: 'RIP Nathanial fly high #blanketyblank'; Nathaniel Hill (pictured) was remembered with a poignant tribute at the end of the BBC 's gaming show as he tragically passed away just aged 40 'Who knew you could get sad at the end of an episode of Blankety Blank? RIP Nathanael ☹️'; 'Oh that's sad... RIP Nathaniel #blanketyblank'; 'Well I wasn't expecting that. Poor Nathaniel. RIP #blanketyblank'; 'Wow. That's so sad. RIP Nathaneal. #blanketyblank'; 'Wow Nathaniel died, wonder what happened. #BlanketyBlank'; 'Oh dear.....R.I.P. Nathaneal #blanketyblank'; 'Jesus. RIP Nathaniel . #BlanketyBlank'; 'Bit of Saturday night TV and watched #blanketyblank - kids are distraught! RIP Nathanael'. Nathaniel's cause of death remains unknown. The RAF veteran from Kirby in Merseyside was a doting dad and previously worked as an armour officer in the air force. His career was characterised by noteworthy devotion, carrying out multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and playing a part in Operation Red Flag. However, about 10 years ago, Nathanael suffered injuries from shrapnel caused by a roadside bomb in south-central Asia, that led to his discharge from the armed forces, on medical grounds. Following the incident, Nathanael's struggle with PTSD led the RAF to deem him unable to return to service. Life post-service presented medical difficulties for the veteran; he was faced with a diagnosis of late-onset type 1 diabetes, that doctors suspected had been privately developing for some time. He then contracted three bouts of sepsis and had an above-knee amputation on his leg in October 2022. But Nathanael's tenacity and perseverance did not falter, as he voiced his intent, to the Liverpool ECHO last year, to commit to his triathlon training. He dreamed of becoming a GB Paralympian, and scoring gold at the LA 2028 Paralympic games. Nathanael was known in his home, Kirkby, Liverpool, Merseyside, for his participation in his Liverpool Tritons Rugby Club, where he was a committed player and coach. The Tritons RUFC shared a somber and touching tribute back in April, following the news of his passing. "It is with deep sadness that Liverpool Tritons RUFC announces the passing of our dear friend, former player, and coach, Nathanael Hill – known to many simply as Nate. "Nate was a cherished member of the Tritons for several years. As both a formidable player on the pitch and a passionate, dedicated coach off it, Nate brought skill, heart, and a contagious enthusiasm to everything he did. His commitment to inclusive rugby and to our community helped shape the club into what it is today.

Blankety Blank viewers in shock after discovering winning contestant died after filming show
A BLANKETY Blank contestant has sadly passed away, with viewers finding out in a tribute at the end of the episode he starred on. Fans tuning into Blankety Blank on Saturday night were left in shock when they learned that the winning contestant had sadly died. 3 Nathanael Hill had passed away after filming for the hit show took place. A tribute flashed up on screen to commemorate his life at the end of the episode hosted by Bradley Walsh, which aired on Saturday night (June 14). Nathanael was seen winning the show's main prize at the end of the programme tonight. And fans were devastated when his passing was revealed and they learned he had died months ago. After the show's credits ended, a memorial screen appeared. The tribute screen simply read: "Nathanael Hill 1985 - 2025." After the tribute flashed up on screen at the end, one person penned: "Jesus. RIP Nathaniel." A second then said: "Well I don't normally bother with the credits at the end of #blanketyblank but that was a sad way to finish a jolly show." "Well I wasn't expecting that. Poor Nathaniel. RIP," said a third. A fourth then penned: "Rest in perfect peace, Nathanael Hill." The Vivienne's final TV appearance aired just days before tragic death aged 32 While a fifth added: "Aw that was a beautiful touch at the end." At just 39 years of age, Nathanael died in April 2025, according to a Liverpool Echo report. The game show star was from Kirkby in Merseyside, and was a doting dad. He worked as an armour officer in the air force and during his time he completed six tours of Iraq, four tours of Afghanistan and worked on Operation Red Flag. During a stint in south-central Asia, Nathanael got injured by shrapnel from a roadside bomb. The bomb was remotely detonated and was medically discharged. Four years after leaving the military Nathanael was diagnosed with late-onset type 1 diabetes. Doctors also found a blood clot in his leg amid the coronavirus pandemic. He then contracted three bouts of sepsis and decided to have an above-knee amputation on his leg in October 2022. After the amputation Nathanael began coaching and got back into triathlons. He was also on the UK paratriathlon pathway with a goal of competing for Team GB. Nathanael's cause of death is not known. Tributes were paid to Nathanael after news of his death broke two months ago. Tritons RUFC shared a touching tribute for their "dear friend and former player". The tribute read: "It is with deep sadness that Liverpool Tritons RUFC announces the passing of our dear friend, former player, and coach, Nathanael Hill – known to many simply as Nate. "Nate was a cherished member of the Tritons for several years. As both a formidable player on the pitch and a passionate, dedicated coach off it, Nate brought skill, heart, and a contagious enthusiasm to everything he did. "His commitment to inclusive rugby and to our community helped shape the club into what it is today." The tribute added: "More than his achievements in the game, Nate will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humour, and the unwavering support he showed to teammates, new players, and friends alike. "His loss will be felt deeply across the club and far beyond." Before his death, Nathanael revealed his dream of achieving gold for Team GB at the 2028 LA Paralympics. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo last year about his Team GB dreams, Nathanael said: 'If I get to represent Team GB it would just be a full circle. It would be a swan song for me. "My last engagement for the Air Force was opening the London 2012 Olympics games and the 2023 Olympics is going to be in LA, America, where I was recognised for saving two American officers' lives. "Now, I can be seen as overcoming this next challenge and to be competing in their country." 3
