«Breaking News» Actress Dame June Whitfield dies at the age of 93

Actress Dame June Whitfield has died at the age of 93, her agent has announced.

The British star enjoyed a career stretching back to the 1940s, including roles in some of of the earliest Carry On films in the 1950s. 

She was best known for her work with comedian Terry Scott, co-starring in sitcoms Terry and June and Happy Ever After, where they played a husband and wife duo.

She was made a dame in the 2017 Birthday Honours for her services to drama and entertainment in a career spanning eight decades.

Dame June's agent said she 'passed away peacefully last night'.

Following Scott's death in 1994, June went onto play Edina Monsoon's mother in Absolutely Fabulous, alongside well-loved supporting roles in Last Of The Summer Wine and The Green Green Grass.

The actress also played Jan Howard in 1980s drama Howards' Way. 

She was then awarded an OBE in 1985, followed by a CBE in 1998 and then a Damehood in 2017.  

She also recently revealed that she now lives in a care home, after ten years of living alone following the death of her husband of 46 years Tim Aitchison in 2001.

Yesterday she was in the headlines again, saying she could not stand modern day television because there was 'too much sex and swearing.' 

The 93-year-old actress also told David Hamilton on BBC Radio Sussex that political correctness means you 'can't make a joke out of anything.'

She said: 'Everything, every channel, it's either some sex scene or a killing of some kind.' 

'I do like people like [comic] Michael McIntyre , but some of them just spend the whole time swearing.'

'You cannot make a joke about anybody.'  

Television producer, Jon Plowman, who worked on episodes of Absolutely Fabulous and the 2016 film version, tweeted to say he was 'very sad' to hear that June Whitfield had died.

'There was no-one with more warmth or a better ability to just 'place' a line, always an act of utter precision. Hit after hit! Take it from Here Terry and June Absolutely Fabulous over seven decade. A great loss,' he said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
