EastEnders star Melanie Clark Pullen has died at the age of 46 after a battle with cancer. The actress played Mary Flaherty, Pauline Fowler’s niece, on the show between 1997 and 1999.
Melanie was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2019, and received the all-clear in 2020. She told The Irish News at the time: ‘I’m cancer free, which is great, so now it’s all about recovery. ’ But the soap star revealed in June 2021 that she had a brain tumour.
