description: The soaps are off air again today.
encoded: There's some bad news for Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans looking to tune into the next slice of drama tonight - neither of them will be on air. Both shows are typically broadcast every weeknight for 30 minutes, in a new soaps "power hour" scheduling pattern that was launched in January. However, over recent weeks, a number of episodes have been dropped and shunted to a rare Sunday outing instead. Tonight (April 14), they make way for ITV coverage of the England v Spain FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 Qualifier. Seema Jaswal presents the match, with analysis from Karen Carney and Anita Asante live from Wembley Stadium. Viewers will be pleased to hear that the episodes will air in their usual slots from tomorrow. Following a dramatic cliffhanger in Monday's Corrie - which saw a badly beaten Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) turn up on Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) doorstep wishing to report his violent husband Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) to the police - a special episode will see him bravely detail the months of abuse he has been subjected to. News of his ordeal will spread throughout Weatherfield, but will he finally be able to escape Theo?

Meanwhile, with new evidence found to help Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) in Emmerdale, Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) hopes that it will also support dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards). However, matters take a terrifying turn for the worse when fearsome DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) lays out a new theory: that Bear was his captor Ray Walters's (Joe Absolom) partner in crime, who murdered him to take control of his operation. Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and from 7am on ITVX. Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm and from 7am on ITVX. Check out more of our Soaps coverage or visit…

description: Jacob reports Dr Todd and Moira struggles to adapt to her freedom.
encoded: Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) gives birth in Emmerdale next week, and it's safe to say that it doesn't exactly go to plan. The pregnancy has been a complete and utter farce thus far, with Charity originally intending to carrying granddaughter Sarah Sugden's (Katie Hill) child. She fell pregnant herself, and has been left to conceal the secret for months. Now, after heading out to retrieve a baby shower cake, her waters break and she's rushed to Hotten General. Trapped in a lift, she goes into labour – but will she be ok? Meanwhile, Jacob Sugden (Jacob Gallagher) bravely reports Dr Todd (Caroline Harker) to HR, and newly-released Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) adjusts to her new life at Wishing Well Cottage, now that Butler's Farm has been handed over to the Sugden clan. Here's everything you need to know about the episodes of Emmerdale airing between Sunday, 19th and Friday, 24th April. 5 Emmerdale spoilers for next week 1. Jacob Sugden confronts Dr Todd, and raises a complaint Jacob finds himself under mounting pressure this week, after realising that Dr Todd has been manipulating him using his past - and has even moved into Tug Ghyll. With tensions running high both at work and at home, and the added strain of being called as a witness in Bear’s trial, Jacob is clearly struggling under the weight of it all. Sensing something is wrong, Ross checks in and is taken aback when Jacob reveals his boss a woman. He encourages him to confront the situation head-on, and the advice prompts Jacob to seek out Dr Todd for a conversation. However, the situation quickly escalates, and before long Jacob makes the bold decision to raise a formal complaint with her employers. Keeping Sarah in the dark about his meeting with HR, Jacob presses on, despite colleague Rich warning him that taking such action could amount to career suicide. When Dr Todd spots Jacob heading into a meeting with HR, it’s clear this battle is far from over. 2. Moira Dingle struggles to cope with life on the out…

encoded: Grab your best hat and some confetti, Coronation Street's first ever sapphic wedding is set to air next week. Well, the first ever nuptials between two women to actually go ahead. Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) jilted Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) at the alter in 2011, and eight years later a factory fell on top of Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia) before she was able to wed Kate Connor (Faye Brookes). Fortunately for Swarla, they actually make it to the reception. The only hurdle the couple have to overcome is a flooded venue, but with thanks to some quick-thinking from Lisa, the ceremony goes ahead in the bar of the Chariot Square Hotel. Oh, and there's a murder. As teased in February's flash-forward episode, Lisa's daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) will stumble across the body of one of their neighbours that night, something which actress Myers has described as "a trial" for the couple just hours into their new beginning. "They think the scream is a fox and just carry on watching the fireworks, so it just ends nicely," she explained. "They are oblivious but it's a great hook. And also it's a trial for them at the start of married life as Betsy is the one who found the body so they have got something difficult to deal with from day one of married life. "As a family, after what they have been through I think they feel very equipped now to be able to deal with things as a team." King laughed: "I thought, 'Haha Great! Now that's drama.' That's how it has to be. I'm just glad it wasn't our drama and that the wedding happened and they had their day!"

description: Who will perish on the day of Carla and Lisa's wedding?
encoded: A dramatic week on the cobbles is fast approaching in Coronation Street, with a stylistic new trailer showing the five potential murder victims walking towards George Shuttleworth's (Tony Maudsley) funeral parlour. The countdown is on, and it won't be long before we find out who meets their maker in the aftermath of Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain's (Vicky Myers) wedding day. As viewers will recall, the latest non-linear storytelling device saw one episode in February flash-forward to April, and the point in which Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) discovered a body. She told Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) that she knew the victim - meaning that one of her neighbours had met with the Grim Reaper. Paedophile Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon), meddling grandmother Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), abusive Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), enigma Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) and scheming Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) were revealed as those at risk, but who will die? View oEmbed on the source website And even more importantly, which resident will be left with blood on their hands? Let's be real, there's a long line of Weatherfield locals who would be happy to see them depart. In the new promo, which has been directed by Suri Krishnamma - who has worked on Corrie for the last decade - sees the five taking a slow stroll down the famed cobbles, dressed in funeral attire. The group then turn the corner into Victoria Street and towards George, who is stood outside of the undertakers and loading a question mark shaped floral arrangement into the back of a hearse. He takes a quick glance towards the five, before carrying on his duties. While Swarla's wedding will take place next week, we won't actually find out who Betsy found dead until seven days later. A special week of standalone episodes will take the viewer back to the day of the ceremony, each following an individual story strand.

description: Arterton played Strawberry Fields in the unpopular entry to the spy franchise.
encoded: Gemma Arterton is returning to the spy genre with new ITV series Secret Service, after one of her first film appearances was in a James Bond film. Arterton played Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace, the oft-maligned 2008 entry into the franchise, which was Daniel Craig's second time in the role. Now, reflecting on that film, Arterton has revealed that she didn't understand the film's plot as she was filming it. Appearing on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, Arterton said of Quantum of Solace: "No one understood that film." When asked by Moyles's co-host Dominic Byrne whether she understood it while filming it, she said: "No. No. I didn't know what was going on." Byrne then said he had tried to watch the film two or three times, to which Arterton said that that's more than she has. This conversation led Rafe Spall, Arterton's co-star in Secret Service, to reveal that he has never seen a Bond film, saying he gets that "it's part of the fabric of our culture" and that it's "fantastic", but "it's a bit like Star Wars", in that "It just doesn’t get me going". Secret Service is based on the novel of the same name by ITV News anchor Tom Bradby, and stars Arterton, Spall, Mark Stanley, Alex Kingston, Roger Allam, Amaka Okafor and Khalid Abdalla. The synopsis for the series says that it follows "senior MI6 officer Kate Henderson (Arterton). On the surface, her life appears ordinary—a civil servant married to Stuart (Spall) with two teenage children". The synopsis continues: "However, to those who don’t know her well, Kate’s true role is heading the Russia Desk at the Secret Intelligence Service. "When her undercover operations reveal alarming evidence that a high-ranking UK politician may be a Russian asset, Kate finds herself in a desperate race to uncover their identity. "As a brutal murder thrusts her team into the spotlight, Kate must navigate the dangerous world of espionage while trying to hold her family together and protect her reputation."

description: Penelope Wilton and Jonathan Pryce will lead the cast of Mavis Eccleston.
encoded: This article contains discussion of subjects including suicide that some readers may find upsetting. ITV has announced the commission a new drama four-part drama series, Mavis Eccleston, which comes from Unforgotten and I, Jack Wright creator Chris Lang. The series will star Downton Abbey's Penelope Wilton and Slow Horses star Jonathan Pryce as Mavis and Dennis Eccleston, respectively, and it will depict the tragic and extraordinary true story of the real-life couple's joint suicide pact. Mavis and Dennis, who had been together for almost 60 year, decided to end their lives together when 81-year-old Dennis received a terminal cancer diagnosis and declined treatment, having had cancer twice before. Their decision caused anguish for their adult children, Kevin and Joy. The synopsis for the series says: "Truly heartbreaking events unfold as the family desperately try to dissuade Dennis and Mavis from taking a lethal cocktail of medication, but they remain steadfast in their belief that they should leave the world together." The synopsis continues: "Having taken an overdose together, they are both rushed to the hospital, where Dennis passes away, but Mavis survives. Following a confused and disorienting interview with hospital staff, the Police are alerted, and Mavis is arrested. "In the midst of such tragedy, Mavis and her family, whilst trying to process the grief of having lost their father, now face the very real prospect of their mother spending the rest of her life in prison." ITV has confirmed that Mavis Eccleston and her family have given their blessing to the drama, and have been available to Chris Lang and the production team throughout the script process. The series was brought to production company Corestar Media by Grantchester star Tom Brittney, who has collaborated on the development of the series. Brittney said in a statement: "When I first read about Mavis and Dennis in 2018, I was struck by the extraordinary love at its heart and the profound injustice…

encoded: Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) has been left horrified after a badly beaten and bloody Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) arrived on her doorstep in Coronation Street. It comes after Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) expressed her concerns about Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) involvement in her dad Billy Mayhew's (Daniel Brocklebank) death. As viewers will recall, amid a devastating multi-vehicle pile-up, Theo clipped Billy's seatbelt back into the buckle and allowed the van to ignite. He then was left guilt-ridden, and openly spoke about his sins ahead of Billy's funeral. Little did he realise, Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) was in the other room, and heard everything. Last week, Carl warned Summer to "look closer to home" when pointing the finger at him for causing the road traffic collision. Theo was planning to move to Belfast today, though when Todd explained that he couldn't join him – needing time to help grieving Summer – he locked him in the bedroom. The latest instalment, which can be streamed now on ITVX, showed that Todd had spent the whole night begging to be allowed out of the room. At one point, Theo told him that he wasn't prepared to lose him and that he loved him, but in his next breath, he said that he hated him and couldn't bear to even look at him. It was only when Sarah expressed her concerns about his wellbeing and turned up at their flat that Theo caved and let him out. Trying to regain his trust, Todd called Sarah to tell her that they were already on their journey to Northern Ireland.

encoded: A race against time took place in Emmerdale today, as the residents scrambled to find some crucial evidence that could help Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). She's currently facing the prospect of spending the rest of her life behind bars for double murder and human trafficking - crimes that were actually committed by evil Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray Walters (Joe Absolom). Moira was framed by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who was being blackmailed by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), so that the Tate clan could purchase Butler's Farm. Robert has since been left guilt-ridden, after learning that Moira was prepared to plead guilty to lessen her sentence. She couldn't bare the thought of being apart from her family for such a long time, and hoped that the guilty admission would only see her locked up for around four years. Robert knew that he had to do the right thing, and after managing to delete incriminating footage that Joe was using as leverage over him, he contacted Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) to ask if he remembered anything about Moira's involvement with Celia and Ray. Bear was imprisoned on their farm for months, and was used by the mother and son on a number of occasions to dispose of evidence. During a chat with Robert, he explained that he was once asked to clean blood off a car and remove some number plates that were being kept at a storage unit. As viewers will recall, this was from when Ray mowed down Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) in a bid to stop him spilling about their crimes. Robert and partner Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) charged over to Hotten, where they met a disgruntled worker who was unwilling to allow them to view Ray's unit. He said that no container was under Ray's name, and as they couldn't provide any documentation to prove that they were his family, they wouldn't be able to gain access.

The two investigations came to a head at the end of the episode, in a terrifying scene which saw Glenn being chased by Chris's murderer Seb, as he transported John to provide information about his stepdad Damian, the ringleader behind the whole operation. Seb ended up taking both Glenn and John hostage at gunpoint, while Roy and Bella tried to get Damian to call Seb off over the phone. As Damian spoke to Seb, he betrayed Roy, Bella and John's mum at the last moment, and told Seb to kill them both. Thankfully, Glenn managed to disarm Seb, and they both got out of there alive. However, even as Damian and Seb were arrested, that wasn't the end of the terror for Glenn. He was called by his wife Ari, who had heard what had happened to him from Roy. As she spoke to him on the phone from their living room, alongside their children, someone pulled up outside on a motorbike. At that moment, they threw a molotov cocktail threw the winder, engulfing the room in flames. Hearing this over the phone, Glenn scrambled to action alongside Roy, and the two arrived at the house soon after. Thankfully, Ari and the kids had got out ok, but it was a close call. Glenn and Roy then shared a knowing look. It seems very likely that this new threat came from someone related to Albazi and the Benchdale gang, after Glenn went to Munich to investigate Sandy's apparent murder. Can they get enough evidence to convict Albazi and his accomplices, and put this threat behind them once and for all? We'll have to wait and see, as the season continues with one final episode next week. Grace season 6 will continue on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 19 April at 8pm. Seasons 1-5 are availabl…

encoded: Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) has been left shaken after realising the truth about Billy Mayhew's (Daniel Brocklebank) death in Coronation Street. Poor Billy met his end earlier this Corriedale crossover episode with Emmerdale in January, driving a minibus home from Debbie Webster's (Sue Devaney) wedding and crashing into a number of vehicles. When he attempted to escape, twisted abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) clipped his seatbelt back into the buckle and allowed the vehicle to ignite. Billy was then only one who knew about what Theo had subjected Todd to, and the situation has only worsened over the months that have followed. Theo spent a brief period feeling extremely guilt-ridden by his actions, and even boldly confessed his regrets when stood over Billy's coffin. Little did he realise, someone was listening from the next room - Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard)! Carl had already allowed Debbie to be sent down for causing death by dangerous driving, with their neighbours conflicted over who to support. Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Billy's grieving daughter, firmly pinned the blame on Debbie and lashed out several times. Earlier this week, upon Debbie's release following a plea hearing, Summer had a confrontation with Carl in the street. He confirmed that he was the one driving, not his mum, though said she should look "closer to home" for who to blame for Billy's early demise. With alarm bells ringing, she decided to confront Theo in today's episode.

encoded: Doctor Who icon Christopher Eccleston has recalled how an iconic moment from ITV crime drama Cracker came about. The 1990s drama, which was created and written by Jimmy McGovern and followed a team working for Greater Manchester Police as they tried to solve crimes, starred Eccleston as DCI David Bilborough. Bilborough was eventually murdered by Albie Kinsella (Robert Carlyle), leading to a landmark moment in British TV as the character bled out while giving a “statement of a dying man” over his radio. Speaking to Radio Times magazine about his new Netflix drama Unchosen, the actor was asked about his departure from Cracker. He explained: “They wanted me to sign for three series but I said I’d sign for one, see how it went. When it went well, I said I’d go back, but I wasn’t going to hang around and support Robbie Coltrane, bless him, for three series." He continued: "That handed Jimmy [McGovern, who wrote it] a provocation. Nowadays, major characters are killed off constantly, but it had never been done before he did it in 1994." "I don’t think either of us could have imagined the effect that it would have, but back then there were four channels and we were getting 13 million viewers. If it’s a brilliant performance, it’s for one reason and one reason only: the writing." Speaking about how he owes his career to McGovern, he added: “Without Jimmy McGovern, I wouldn’t have a career in television. I did Cracker, a film called Heart, Accused… And I did Hillsborough, which is the most important thing I’ve ever done." He continued: "It provoked questions in Parliament and got me over my silly guilt that being an actor isn’t a real job. "I will always want to work with McGovern and I’m hoping that one day he’ll employ me again, maybe in an old people’s home."

encoded: Fans of Coronation Street and Emmerdale better brace themselves for another big schedule shake-up next week. Both shows typically air every weeknight for 30 minutes, with Emmerdale usually airing at 8pm and Corrie following at 8:30pm. But neither show will air in their usual slots next Tuesday (14 April) to make way for ITV coverage of the England v Spain FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 Qualifier. Instead, the episodes have been moved forward to this Sunday, with Emmerdale set to air at 7pm on ITV that day, followed by Corrie at 7:30pm. Fans will be pleased to hear that the episodes will air in their usual slots from next Wednesday. Next week’s episodes of Corrie will see one of Weatherfield’s finest institutions go up in flames, while Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) is set to go to the police station to report Theo Silverton (James Cartwright). There'll also be trouble for Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) on the horizon as she confronts Carl. Next week on Emmerdale, meanwhile, things will start to look up for Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) as evidence is found to support the fact she wasn't involved in Celia Daniels's human trafficking operation. There’ll be bad news for Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt), however, as DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) reveals a new theory that Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) deliberately killed Ray Walters (Joe Absolom), among other big developments.

encoded: Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) has been left furious after becoming privy to the devious deeds her partner Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has enacted in Emmerdale. It all kicked off when Joe decided he wanted to acquire Moira Dingle's (Natalie J Robb) home and business, Butler's Farm. He struck lucky in acquiring 50 per cent of it, by stumbling across Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) killing her brother John (Oliver Farnworth), and recording some sneaky footage. He then used this video to blackmail her brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) into handing over his share. Joe then made a promise that he would given him opportunity to become tenant farmer, as long as he could help him convince Moira to sell her share. In doing so, the two framed her for modern slavery and double murder. Pushed to her limits on the inside, and after hearing that husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, she called up Kim Tate (Claire King) and agreed to sign the papers. Despite Robert setting up home at Butler's, and renaming the land to Emmerdale Farm to honour his family's legacy, Joe has retained a tight grip over him. This hit home earlier this week, when he realised that Vic had no intentions of returning from Spain as she was fearful that Joe could still expose the footage of her murdering John. After learning that Moira intended to plead guilty to lessen her sentence, Robert headed to Home Farm to try and reason with Joe, but it became clear that he wasn't prepared to show any remorse. Desperate for a way to make things right, Robert cornered Ross Barton (Michael Parr) – someone as equally irked by Joe – and asked if he wanted to "knock him down a peg or two".

Brocklebank's 11-year stint on the ITV soap came to an end during January's crossover episode with Emmerdale. Billy was driving a minibus home from Debbie Webster's (Sue Devaney) wedding and crashed into a number of vehicles. When he attempted to escape, twisted abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) clipped his seatbelt back into the buckle and allowed the vehicle to ignite. He was initially left guilt-ridden by his actions, and boldly confessed his regrets when stood over Billy's coffin. Little did he realise, someone was listening from the next room – Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard)! The two had an explosive argument following the funeral, where Theo told Carl that if he told his partner (now husband) Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), he'd "end up in a box" just like Billy. Now, with Theo's abuse of Todd unravelling, and the pay-off of Corrie's flash-forward episode approaching, it seems like he should be the one worried about ending up 6ft under! In today's episode, Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) told Summer and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) about the awkward encounter she had with Theo and Todd earlier in the week. She'd shown up at the corner shop flat unannounced, and Todd had to cover the doorbell camera to ensure Theo didn't see her entering. Sarah was then forced to hide in the bedroom when Theo arrived home early, though he knew that there was something suspicious going on and discovered her.

encoded: Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) has gained a potential new ally amid his war with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) in Emmerdale. It's been a disastrous year for Robert, who is being blackmailed and was forced to frame Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) for modern slavery and double murder. This followed Joe recording footage of Robert's younger sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) killing their brother John (Oliver Farnworth), and if he didn't comply, it would be sent to the police. Although John's death was ruled as suicide, Vic concluded that life would never be the same again and she fled for Spain with young son Harry. Joe has since got his hands on Moira's homestead, Butler's Farm, and installed Robert as tenant farmer. Although he was initially on cloud nine after restoring the Sugden family legacy and renaming the land to Emmerdale Farm, Joe attempted to sell the cattle from beneath him and has made it clear that he still pulls the strings. In today's episode, Robert was saddened after getting a call from Vic. She'd made it clear that she had no intentions of returning to the village anytime soon, and especially not with Joe breathing down their necks. Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) said that he was sick of Joe calling the shots, but understood that he effectively had Robert over a barrel with the video and therefore he didn't want to rock the boat too much. They'd also be left homeless should Joe decide to strip the farmhouse from beneath them. Later that day, the matter escalated when Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) called Aaron to inform him that Moira was intending to plead guilty. She couldn't bare the thought of being without her children for an extended period of time, and hoped that the guilty admission would lessen her sentence.

encoded: Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) attempt to make Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) open up about Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) abuse was rumbled in today's episode of Coronation Street. It comes after George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) shared his theory about Theo's sinister behaviour, and Todd's friends and family rallied together to try and make a breakthrough. Unfortunately, Todd was reluctant to open up and denied everything. He even agreed to move to Belfast to start afresh with Theo. With everyone cut off, Todd has been reluctant to leave his flat and as such, nobody has seen him. Sarah expressed her concerns to Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) in the cafe, before making her way over to ask if she could have a chat. Theo had just left, and Todd covered the doorbell camera to ensure he couldn't see Sarah slipping in the door. It was a moment of normality for Todd, who was relieved to not have to tread on eggshells around Sarah. The best friends go way back, having been a couple in the early 2000s and conceiving a child together. However, the atmosphere turned frosty when Todd commented on the amount of sugar in a biscuit, and Sarah couldn't help but notice that this wasn't something he'd ordinarily comment on. As viewers have seen, Theo has been body-shaming Todd and restricting what he can and can't eat.

encoded: Dr Caitlin Todd (Caroline Harker) has a new weapon in her arsenal in Emmerdale, amid Jacob Sugden's (Joe-Warren Plant) workplace bullying storyline. Todd is unpredictable, something which has left Jacob wondering whether her attitude is just a response to the tough medical training that he's undergoing. She also seems genuinely supportive of his career, though in her next breath will brand him incapable. This week has been utterly hellish for Jacob. He'd overheard Todd shouting at a patient, though made somewhat of a breakthrough with her when she explained the elderly gentleman was her father, and that he was living with late stage dementia. She wasn't impressed that he'd questioned her behaviour, and he resolved to make things right when her dad went into cardiac arrest. With Todd on another ward, Jacob performed CPR. But, his actions completely ignored the DNR (do not resuscitate) agreement that he had in place, and Todd was furious. During the process, Jacob had broken her dad's ribcage and worsened his quality of life. After hearing that this could completely jeopardise his future, he left work and accidentally mowed down Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) with his car. Cain was told that his radical prostatectomy operation would have to be delayed until he'd made a full recovery, and he told Jacob that he would ensure the police went lightly on him if he could bring the procedure forward. However, he also told Kerry Pollard (Laura Norton) that he would hold Jacob personally responsible should his cancer metastasise.

description: Nicola Sturgeon faces questions in tomorrow night's episode.
encoded: Sir Stephen Fry became incredibly candid in tonight's episode of The Assembly, as the star faced a range of no-holds-barred questions that no chat show or press junket has ever dared to ask. Fry is the first of six famous faces taking part in the series in which a group of inquisitive interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled, put their questions to the celebrities - and no topic is out of bounds. In tonight's episode (8 April), Fry faced a number of questions about his career and personal life and in one of the early parts of the episode, he was asked by one contributor how much he has spent on cocaine, to which Fry responded: "There was a period where I was an addict to the stuff and in those days, it was was £60 a gram and I probably wasted thousands." Fry has been very open about his battle with cocaine addiction in the '80s and '90s, having documented his struggles in a 2014 memoir More Fool Me. He continued: "I wouldn't recommend anybody to do it, obviously, but I'd also recommend we all be very grown up about it and we understand why people seem to want to do it and maybe find a better answer than simply condemning everybody for doing it because in the world, the most important thing is to be effective, not to be right. But to find a way to solve a problem." Elsewhere in the conversation, Fry was asked what he says to people who dislike age gap relationships, referring to his 30-year age gap with his husband Elliott Spencer. "I feel a bit sorry for them. I don’t see why they should have such an opinion about things," he said, adding: "The only thing that should matter in a relationship is love and if you feel it." He went on to push back on assumptions about power dynamics in his marriage, telling the group: "I mean, I always say to people that in our relationship, Elliot has all the power, really," noting that Spencer "makes a lot of the decisions". After tonight's episode, up next is former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeo…

encoded: The turmoil continues for poor Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) in Coronation Street, after facing months of abuse and blackmail from vile PE teacher Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). She'd been engaging in a secret relationship with Sam's schoolmate, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), and even fell pregnant with his baby. The pair's secret trysts remained under wraps for months, with only Sam threatening to expose them. At one point he even hid a secret camera in Megan's flat, though she quickly discovered it and staged a hoax interaction with Will to throw Sam off the scent. She later told him that she'd go to the police and report him for voyeurism if he was to pursue his claims. Weighed down with stress, the teen became dependent on ADHD medication to ease his nerves around the pair - something which was exposed when he collapsed in the street, and former stepmother Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) knew that he wouldn't use the drugs to manage exam stress. With the Driscoll family now privy to Will's abuse, they were dismayed to learn that there was insufficient evidence, and therefore little that the police could do. CCTV footage of him meeting Megan at the Chariot Square Hotel had been wiped just hours before. Sam has remained insistent that something sinister was going on, despite the fact Will is adamant that his relationship with Megan was purely platonic. Earlier this week, Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) told Will to apologise to Sam for the torment, hoping that they could make amends and put the ordeal behind them. While the teens seemed to put things to one side, he later retracted his words and told Sam that things would turn sour if he was to mess with him and Megan again.

Innocently chatting to imprisoned wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) on the phone, Cain's call was interrupted when a careless driver took their eyes off the road and plowed into him. A number of suspects were revealed in the preceding scenes; Kerry Pollard (Laura Norton), Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) and Jacob Sugden (Joe-Warren Plant). An emotional Kerry had just told husband Eric (Chris Chittell) that she'd be moving out to pursue a relationship with her manager Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), while Graham was mortified after learning ex-girlfriend Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) had chosen to stay committed to her husband Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) instead of addressing the evident chemistry between them both. As for Jacob, he'd had yet another nightmarish day at Hotten General, having performed CPR on a patient that had a DNR (do not resuscitate) agreement in place. To make matters worse, the patient was none other than the father of his fearsome boss, Dr Todd (Caroline Harker). She told him that he'd committed a grave error that would reflect terribly on him, before adding that the mistake could mean he never becomes a fully qualified doctor. Tired and stressed, he was the one who accidentally hit Cain. Fortunately, the Dingle patriarch lived to see another day. He was rushed into hospital, though had only sustained minor injuries.

Cain was, however, informed that his forthcoming radical prostatectomy operation would have to be delayed until he'd made a full recovery. This would then increase the chances of his cancer spreading. Upon realising that Jacob was responsible, he dealt a troublin…

Some of this year's celebrities include former winners such as Jimmy Bullard and Scarlett Moffatt, and some who didn't have enough time during their original stint including Craig Charles and Gemma Collins. Craig and Gemma were two late entries into the jungle and for the latter, many have found themselves wondering why she decided to return given her tough time of things back in 2014.

Since then, she has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Celebs Go Dating, Dancing on Ice and, of course, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Gemma didn't have the best time during her original jungle stint and withdrew after a short time, after believing she had caught malaria and struggled with the lack of food. Why is Gemma Collins back on I'm a Celebrity? It's a question many asked themselves when Gemma Collins was announced as a returnee, but she is ready to redeem herself. "Going on all stars is a real moment for me in my career – it's redemption," she said in an interview with ITV ahead of her time on the show. "To be able to do this again is the greatest honour ever. I am going to be the best campmate and get those stars. None of us will be starving under my watch." As soon as she got the invitation to appear on the new series, her intuition told her to say yes immediately. She explained: "I've never been to South Africa before. I think that is why they made a sho…

encoded: Sam Blakeman's (Jude Riordan) mental health is beginning to suffer in Coronation Street, after weeks of blackmail from vile groomer Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) and her victim Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale). The two engaged in secret relationship, and would seemingly stop at nothing to prevent Sam from spilling what he knew. He's desperately attempted to find evidence that would support his claims, even planting a hidden camera in her flat – but was knocked back as vicious Megan threatened to expose him as a voyeur. In the aftermath, he's became hooked on ADHD medication to manage his stress levels, and collapsed in the street. Former stepmother Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) could see that it was more than jut the weight of GCSE exams that were taking its toll on the teenager, and made it her mission to find out the truth. Sam admitted everything, and the Driscoll family headed to the police station to report Megan. Unfortunately, insufficient evidence meant that she couldn't be charged with the crime. Earlier this week, Will's step mum Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) asked him to apologise to Sam for what he'd put him through, explaining that he was undergoing counselling to try and forget about the ordeal. While the teens seemed to put things to one side, much to the relief of Eva and Leanne, Will later retracted his statement and told Sam he needed to be careful. As viewers know, he's still secretly meeting up with Megan and is deeply in love with her.

encoded: If things couldn't get worse for Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), he's now been hit by a car in Emmerdale. Not only has he been diagnosed with an aggressive, yet localised form of prostate cancer and is about to undergo a radical prostatectomy, but wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) is facing the prospect of spending the rest of her life behind bars for human trafficking, after two bodies were found on their homestead Butler's Farm. As viewers know, she was framed by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who was being blackmailed by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), and Cain has subsequently been forced to move out of Butler's. Moira signed over the farm to the Tate family after learning the extent of her husband's illness, hoping that the break from the business would allow him to focus on his health. In her absence, Cain has continued to war with Joe and has even started a new agricultural venture at Wishing Well Cottage. Husband and wife were briefly reunited earlier this week, as Moira was brought into Hotten General for a routine MRI scan. Doctor Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) arranged for the two to have some alone time, and they managed to evade being caught by the waiting prison officer outside. The encounter gave Moira a fresh sense of hope ahead of her forthcoming trial, though the events of today's episode have given her a new reason to worry. During a conversation with Cain, she heard an almighty thud and the phone went dead. He'd been hit by a car. But who was responsible? The ITV soap has lined up three potential suspects...
