Former EastEnders actress Melanie Clark Pullen has died following a battle with cancer.
The star, who played Pauline Fowler's niece Mary Flaherty, was diagnosed with cancer in January 2019. In 2020, she was given the all-clear, telling The Irish News: "I got the all clear. I'm cancer free, which is great, so now it's all about recovery."
However, just a year later she revealed she had a brain tumour. At the time she said: "I was only given the all clear from cancer 18 months ago and it's a cruel blow to think that I will now be starting into some kind of treatment again and that this time it will be long term and a permanent fixture of my life."
