Actress disturbed by fan selfie request at funeral

EastEnders actress Tameka Empson shared her discomfort after being asked for a selfie at a friend's mother's funeral. She described the situation as disrespectful and emphasized that funerals are not appropriate places for such requests. Empson recounted the incident on BBC Radio London, noting that a fan approached her while she was grieving. Despite her polite refusal, the fan persisted, asking for a picture outside the church. Empson, known for her role as Kim Fox, joined EastEnders in 2009 and has received multiple awards for her performances. Her character recently left the show for a new adventure, taking a cruise with her partner.
