BBG News

Natalie Cassidy has claimed Paloma Faith used to bully her when they were at school together. 

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this fascinating tidbit: Just like Paloma Faith, two of my favorite celebrities, the EastEnders actress and the pop singer, were my senior classmates at Islington Green School! They were a year above me, Natalie. What a small world, isn’t it?

Natalie hails from Islington, while Paloma grew up in Hackney; they’re originally from similar neighborhoods.

On her podcast, Life With Nat, Natalie reflected upon her old school days, bringing up an unpleasant encounter she had with Paloma during that time.

She asserted: ‘Paloma Faith allegedly bullied me during our school years. She attended Islington Green School, a grade above mine. Since then, we have discussed the matter, and she has expressed her regret for her actions. I’m really disappointed by this revelation.’

Previously known as the City of London Academy Islington, Paloma’s educational journey was significantly distinct from what most students usually encounter.

She shared that she had an incredibly wonderful encounter. Despite some negative feedback, the instructors were simply outstanding.

‘It was really creative, with really great art, music and dance departments. I really enjoyed it.’

TopMob has contacted a representative of Paloma Faith for comment. 

Despite enduring challenging times during her school years, it seems that the soap opera actress has a promising outlook ahead.

It’s been said that the actress might earn a significant amount after leaving EastEnders, as industry experts speculate numerous opportunities may come her way.

The actress who portrays the character of Sonia Fowler, aged 41, who has been in this role since she was ten years old, will depart as a component of the show’s 40th anniversary festivities. Industry insiders are referring to her as the upcoming figure similar to Stacey Solomon.

According to brand specialist Nick Ede, speaking with The Sun, Natalie’s earnings are expected to soar dramatically, as he disclosed a strategic move that could propel Natalie, fresh off her stint as Bush on The Masked Singer, towards unprecedented success post-competition.

It’s clear that working on EastEnders offers a substantial wage, and shows such as Strictly, where she participated back in 2009, are also known for their generous paychecks.

Stepping beyond the confines of the BBC, I’ve found myself with exciting opportunities for brand partnerships and commercial ventures. Leveraging my social media presence allows me to showcase products and services that align with my values and lifestyle, fostering a meaningful connection with my audience.

It’s intriguing to learn that she will be presenting several documentaries on Channel 4, as she’s well-liked by many.

He determined that her fame would grow further, and she might earn a few more million dollars, given her potential to participate in I’m A Celebrity since she has previously been on Strictly Come Dancing.

In a recent interview following her announcement, Natalie shared that reaching the age of 42 prompted her to seize the moment and venture into fresh possibilities, demonstrating courage.

She shared with The Sun, “This year, I turn 42, and I feel it’s the right moment to be bold. I wouldn’t want to reach 70 and have regrets about things I didn’t attempt.

As a devoted admirer, let me tell you, this series has held a special place in mine since I was ten years old. It runs deeper than just bones; it resonates within the very core of who I am – right down to the heartstrings!

Six months ago, the choice to depart was made following a sincere conversation with the producer of EastEnders, Chris Clenshaw.

The star expressed: ‘For some time, I’ve pondered over it. I had an engaging conversation with Chris during the summer. It’s simply thrilling!’
