Coronation Street and Emmerdale pulled from schedules again tonight as part of shake-up
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?

I'm a Celebrity South Africa 2026 cast: Confirmed line-up of contestants
I'm a Celebrity... South Africa is back for an exciting second season on ITV, as a new cohort of famous faces return to the jungle for a chance to become the ultimate legend. Among the celebrities giving the jungle another go are Seann Walsh, Beverley Callard, Mo Farah and Sinitta – and tonight, they are in for the shock of their lives. As teased by ITV, tonight (14 April) Ant and Dec explain that the campmates will all be leaning over the cliff edge, suspended by five individual ropes while asked general knowledge questions. But who else stars in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa 2026? Here's what you need to know. I'm a Celebrity South Africa official 2026 line-up: Confirmed celebrity contestants Adam Thomas Ashley Roberts Scarlett Moffatt David Haye Beverley Callard Seann Walsh Sinitta Sir Mo Farah Gemma Collins Craig Charles Jimmy Bullard Harry Redknapp Scroll on to find out more! Adam Thomas Age: 37 Job: Actor Instagram: @adamthomas21 Adam Thomas is best known for playing the role of Donte Charles in Waterloo Road. He was originally a contestant on I'm a Celeb back in 2016, where he had a podium finish of third place. Adam said that one of his biggest motivations for going back on the show is to make his children proud: "To do this show and let them watch it and go to school - that’s one of the reasons why we do these things, so we can put a smile on our kids’ faces." Ashley Roberts Age: 44 Job: Singer and radio presenter Instagram: @iamashleyroberts Ashley Roberts first rose to fame as part of the girl group Pussycat Dolls, who she performed with between 2003 and 2010. In 2012 she was the runner up on the 12th series of I'm a Celebrity, only beaten by Charlie Brooks who has crowned Queen of the Jungle. Ashley credits being on the ITV show for her career now in the UK, where she has now worked as a DJ for Heart Radio since 2019. "Since doing the programme, I’ve gone on to have so many different life experiences," she said. "Some tough ones, some amazing ones and I will be walking into the jungle now as an older version of myself. It will be interesting to see what it’s like this time." Scarlett Moffatt Age: 35 Job: TV presenter Instagram: @scarlettmoffatt Scarlett Moffatt first appeared on our screens as part of the cast of Gogglebox and quickly became a fan favourite, landing her TV presenting jobs. She won I'm a Celeb in 2016 and has now gone back on the show, candidly admitting, that she needs to pay for a new bathroom. I'm a Celeb was the first TV show Scarlett did on her own, having starred on Gogglebox with her parents Mark and Betty. On how she felt to be asked, Scarlett said: "I was a bit overwhelmed. Out of all the people they could pick, I felt grateful that I was even a thought because so many people have done it. I watch the show religiously and I was so happy to be asked." She continued: "I am ten years older now and it is a big challenge for me. I do feel apprehensive as I watched the first Legends series and the trials and challenges were like all the Australian trials combined - so a level up. "I hope I can do them. I am going to give it my all, but I have everything to thank this show for." David Haye Age: 45 Job: Boxer Instagram: @davidhaye David Haye secured himself a bronze medal during his first stint on I'm a Celeb in 2012 when he finished in third place and made headlines after showering naked in the jungle. David shared that what got him to sign up to the all-stars series of the show is the urge to travel to somewhere new. "I’ve never been to South Africa before and when they asked me if I’d like to take part, I thought ‘perfect, lets go’. It’s also half the distance to get there (compared to Australia)," he said. "After I did the Australian series, I went out to Costa Rica for three months and did something similar living in the jungle. I enjoy the serene nature." Beverley Callard Age: 68 Job: Actress Instagram: @beverleycallard Beverley Callard is known for playing the iconic Liz McDonald on Coronation Street and first appeared on I'm A Celeb during the pandemic, so was locked away in the damp and dreary Welsh castle. The 68-year-old actress is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer but had filmed for the new series before treatment begun. For Beverley, it was a no brainer to go back on the show as she felt as if she didn't get the true I'm a Celeb experience being stuck in a rainy castle in Wales. "I was really flattered when I got the call," she said. "In fact, I was gobsmacked! But I said ‘yes’ because Wales was so different. We didn’t get to experience the Australian jungle and the bedroom was minus one. To be part of the South Africa jungle is going to be a very different experience." Seann Walsh Age: 40 Job: Comedian Instagram: @seannwalsh Comedian Seann Walsh is a more recent contestant of I'm a Celeb, having only competed for the first time in 2022 alongside the likes of radio DJ Chris Moyles, Lioness Jill Scott, who then went on to win the show, and MP Matt Hancock. Seann said he has the most amazing memories from his first time on the show, even if he did find it an utterly "surreal experience" to be in the camp with Hancock, so couldn't turn down the opportunity to do it again. "I had so much fun the first time around, I didn’t have to think for very long about whether I should do it or not," he confessed Continuing, Seann said: "When you cross that bridge after you are out in the original series, anything difficult about the experience completely disappears and you are left with these wonderful memories that you get to keep for the rest of your life. Then as soon as you agree to go back in, all the things that were difficult return! "I’ve still got phobias. The programme only cures you of your phobias when you are in there. As soon as you are back home, they all return! I’m feeling both nervous and excited." Sinitta Age: 62 Job: Pop icon Instagram: @thesinittaofficial Sinitta first took part in the ITV show 15 years ago for only a short stint after she was the second to be voted off. She's back again to give it another go and is hoping to last longer her second time around. Sinitta is hoping that taking part in the South African version of the show will make her braver, boldly admitting that she is afraid of "everything". She said: "I thought doing the show would cure me of all my phobias, but it didn’t. It desensitised me for while as I can remember watching a spider crawling across the ground on my last day. "Instead of running to the other side of the camp, I just sat and watched it because I had experienced so much. But as soon as you get back to the London environment and there is a big spider in the bath, you are cowering again because it’s so unnatural. "I’m hoping the South African jungle will cure me of my phobias, because it is quite debilitating being afraid of everything." Sir Mo Farah Age: 42 Job: Olympic legend Instagram: @sirmofarah The long distance runner and gold medalist Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah came fifth on his series of I'm a Celeb back in 2020. Despite feeling nervous about what lies ahead in the South African camp, namely the snakes, Sir Mo said he is looking forward to throwing himself into the I'm a Celebrity life. Similarly to Beverley Callard, he is excited to swap the Welsh castle for some sunshine, adding that he "would love to win". “It was so much fun doing I’m A Celebrity... in Wales but mentally, you always knew you were in the UK,” explained Sir Mo. "It was also very cold. Being in South Africa is going to be different. It’s sunny, warm, and as soon as I got the call inviting me, I knew I wanted to be part of the series. "I have always wished I could be in a jungle abroad and now I am! I did watch the first Legends series and it looked fun. "I’ve been to South Africa before many times to do training, but I’ve never been in a rural place like this jungle. It’s going to be exciting." Gemma Collins Age: 45 Job: TV personality Instagram: @gemmacollins It's fair to say that TOWIE icon Gemma Collins struggled the first time around on I'm a Celebrity 12 years ago in 2014. She was scared of most things and was frequently reduced to tears, so decided to return the show for a redemption arc, saying that going on the South African version was the "best decision I've ever made". Craig Charles Age: 61 Job: Actor and DJ Instagram: @craigcharlesfunkandsoul Actor Craig Charles, most recognised as David Lister in Red Dwarf and Lloyd Mullaney on Coronation Street, had to leave the jungle after only four days in 2014 after the sudden death of his brother Dean. He's returned to the show in the hope of finally getting the full I'm a Celeb experience. Jimmy Bullard Age: 47 Job: Ex-footballer Instagram: @1jimmybullard Jimmy Bullard is remembered for being one of the funniest camp mates in I'm a Celeb history. During his time in the jungle back in 2o14, he struck up a bromance with Carl Fogarty, who went on to win the show. Harry Redknapp Age: 79 Job: Football manager Instagram: @harryredknapp Harry Redknapp will be joining the cast of I'm a Celeb South Africa as one of the late entries. He was crowned King of the Jungle in 2018 and at 71 was, and still is, the show's oldest winner. Add I'm a Celebrity...

5 Emmerdale spoilers next week: Charity Dingle undergoes a dramatic childbirth
Jacob reports Dr Todd and Moira struggles to adapt to her freedom.
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 outside Moira is trying to adjust after being released home following the emergence of fresh evidence. But without a place of her own, she’s finding it difficult to settle. Grateful when Lydia offers her some time alone in Wishing Well, Moira looks forward to reconnecting with Cain. However, the moment is tainted when Sam jokingly lets slip to Cain, leaving him feeling ambushed and exposed.

Misreading the situation, Cain becomes frustrated, convinced Moira has shared his private fears, and storms out. She's left reeling, opening up to Lydia that her plan has backfired. Struggling with her loss of purpose away from the farm, Moira's left feeling increasingly adrift, while Robert quietly wrestles with guilt over the role he’s played in her current predicament. 3. Charity Dingle's life hangs in the balance after going into labour Charity throws herself into organising Sarah’s baby shower, going all out to make it a day to remember. But when the cake supplier lets her down at the last minute, Charity and Mack set off to collect it themselves. Disaster soon strikes when, after a quick stop, their car refuses to start - leaving them stranded in the middle of nowhere without phones. Matters take a dramatic turn when Charity’s waters break. True soapy drama! Spotting a passing car, Charity flags down Ross, who reluctantly agrees to drive them to the hospital. Back at the baby shower, Sarah makes her entrance and begins to wonder what’s keeping Charity and Jacob. When she discovers a string of missed calls on her phone, panic sets in. At the hospital, events spiral further when the lift carrying Charity, Mack and Ross grinds to a halt. Trapped inside, Charity’s panic intensifies as her contractions worsen. The confined space also triggers Mack’s lingering trauma from the bunker, while Ross desperately tries to raise help via the intercom. When Sarah arrives at the hospital, she's told there’s no record of Charity, leaving her fears spiralling. Elsewhere in the same building, Jacob is in the midst of his HR meeting, his anxiety peaking as he recounts Dr Todd’s alleged bullying - completely unaware of the life-or-death drama unfolding just floors away. When a midwife receives an emergency call about a woman in labour trapped in a lift, Sarah fears the worst. With no time to lose, the midwife talks Ross and Mack through delivering the baby via the intercom. Jacob emerges from his meeting and is horrified to discover a barrage of missed calls. When Doctor Todd attempts to confront him, Jacob finally finds the courage to stand his ground. Back in the lift, Ross successfully delivers the baby, but relief quickly turns to alarm when he notices a growing pool of blood. 4. Kammy Hadiq is invited to a Dingle family function Belle is buzzing after sharing a kiss with Kammy and eagerly anticipates their upcoming date. However, Kammy’s nerves begin to surface when he realises he’ll be attending a Dingle family gathering, and he can’t help but wonder if he’s bitten off more than he can chew. How will he cope? 5. Paddy Dingle and April Windsor deal with some bad news Concern grows for Paddy when Zara arrives with troubling news. Bear has been moved into solitary confinement following a fight in prison, and with his chances of release hanging by a thread, Paddy is left fearing the worst. There's also the possibility that both he and Dylan could also face time behind bars to contemplate. As April declares her unwavering commitment to stand by Dylan should he be sentenced, Dylan quietly resolves to push her away in a bid to spare her. Meanwhile, Paddy takes comfort in Mandy’s support at the salon, though her worried demeanour suggests all is not well. And when Marlon reveals Dylan’s plan to cut ties, the question remains: will April really let him go without a fight? Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and from 7am on ITVX.

Coronation Street stars Alison King and Vicky Myers tease "difficult" start to married life for Carla and Lisa
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!" Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. Let's face it, the beloved couple could do with some happiness after the last 12 months. Lisa's late wife Becky (Amy Cudden) rose from the ashes after spending a number of years in witness protection, drugged Carla and held her hostage in an airing cupboard before attempting to flee to Spain with her family. Myers hopes that this marriage will be very different to Swain's first. "I think it's the age that she is, the job that she does, the life that she's had, and including when her dead ex-wife came back," she said. "All of that means she wants it done. But it's not just a case of wanting it done, she wants to be married to this woman who she's fallen madly in love with, who feels like home to her. "The complete antithesis of the relationship she'd had before. It's not just about the wedding day, it's about the marriage itself, and she can't wait to start that." King, meanwhile, is glad that Carla is getting a more lowkey affair: "The surprise reception at Underworld was Carla's favourite bit. She likes to feel that even though she shouts at everybody, they still love her - all the workforce. And she likes that, she likes being part of it, because she's always, always been left out in the whole Connor clan." "She was always the one that was taken the mickey out of. So she likes to be part of something. Those factory workers are Carla's family. It is her safe place." Very aptly, the wedding is taking place during Lesbian Visibility Week. "This relationship promotes understanding and change, especially considering the persistent issue of homophobia and the current gradual retraction of rights despite past progress," Myers reflected. "To champion this couple, their family unit, and their commitment by having them marry on Coronation Street is an honor and a truly beautiful, history-making moment. Their sexuality doesn't define them, but they are proud of who they are. They offer crucial visibility by confidently showing public affection, their life is not kept behind closed doors. "Their frequent presence on screen holds the power to prompt lasting change."

Coronation Street releases killer trailer ahead of flash-forward murder reveal - who will die?
Who will perish on the day of Carla and Lisa's wedding?
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.

Two of the best teams in world football – England and Spain – face off at Wembley on Tuesday evening in a pivotal Women's World Cup 2027 qualifier. The visitors are the world champions and beat the Lionesses in the final of the 2023 tournament, but Sarina Wiegman's side got their revenge to claim their second consecutive continental crown at Euro 2025. Though it is just a qualifier, there is plenty on the line as the pair, who are level on points after two games, battle for Group A3 supremacy. Only the top team will qualify automatically for World Cup 2027, with the side in second forced to navigate the UEFA play-offs to reach next year's tournament. The Lionesses could be without captain Leah Williamson due to injury, which is a significant blow given the strength of Spain's attacking options.

Gemma Arterton says she didn't understand Quantum of Solace while filming the 2008 James Bond movie
Arterton played Strawberry Fields in the unpopular entry to the spy franchise.
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." Tune into The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X weekdays, 6:30-10am, and on Global Player. Secret Service is coming to ITV1 and ITVX soon.

Downton Abbey and Slow Horses favourites to lead ITV drama from Unforgotten writer based on "extraordinary" true story
Penelope Wilton and Jonathan Pryce will lead the cast of Mavis Eccleston.
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 their family endured. "I felt their story, told with care and humanity, could be a powerful drama and a worthy contribution to a debate that remains urgent and deeply complex. Having worked with ITV, I knew they’d be the perfect home as an institution that champions powerful, social justice stories." Meanwhile, Lang added: "From the moment Mavis and Dennis’s extraordinary story was told to me, I knew I had to write the script - but maybe not for the reasons one might suspect. "Although their story does ask profound questions about how we live and end our lives, for me, their story was always about something simpler and more enduring. For me this was always about love. Unconditional love." "Mavis was devoted to her husband, Dennis, their enduring love for each other clear to see to all," Wilton said. "They lived life on their own terms and when the time came, she wanted to respect his wishes. "The fact she then faced the very real prospect of spending the rest of her life in prison for acting out of love is simply unimaginable. To be asked to bring her experience to life is a huge responsibility and true honour." Pryce added: "This is a powerful and timely story of an extraordinary, devoted couple as they face the painful dilemma of assisted dying. We will hopefully honour their deep love for each other and their bravery." Mavis Eccleston will begin filming in Bristol in June 2026, with news of further casting to be announced in due course. For information and support, please visit Samaritans or SOS Silence of Suicide. Mavis Eccleston will air on ITV1 and ITVX.

Coronation Street airs tragic Todd Grimshaw scenes as Theo Silverton commits worst act yet in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Monday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 8.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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.

Theo walked towards the bathroom, pretending to be taking a shower, but was actually watching Todd from afar. He desperately searched around the flat to find the door keys, unaware that they'd been hidden. Todd slowly backed into a corner as an enraged Theo made his way towards him. That night, Sarah told Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) that she felt she'd failed Todd, and hadn't done enough to stop him leaving with Theo. She was shocked when the intercom phone began to ring, and Todd was on the other end of the line. He screamed out in pain, telling her he was unable to climb the stairs to her flat. Sarah and Kit rushed down, finding him as he collapsed in agony on the floor. They realised that he'd been forced to lie in order to protect himself, and Kit went to fetch the car to take him to hospital. Todd bravely told Sarah that he wasn't going to seek medical attention – he wanted to go to the police instead. Is this finally the end of Theo?

Emmerdale airs crushing Moira Dingle update after new evidence is found in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Monday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 8pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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.

They attempted to try and locate it themselves, before realising that there was over 100 boxes on the land. Back at The Woolpack, the residents gathered to decide what their next move would be. Paddy and Marlon Dingle (Dominic Brunt and Mark Charnock) remembered a key that they'd found on Celia's land last week, which was marked 'HSU'. Wasting no time, Robert, Aaron, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) made their way back to Hotten. The security guard activated an alarm as they unlocked the unit, finding the car number plates and several other artefacts that could help prove that Moira wasn't responsible. This gave Moira's husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) a glimmer of hope, and he rushed to the prison - where she was making her way to court - to tell her not to plead guilty. However, back at the storage site, DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) warned that her solicitor would have to contact the CPS to try and adjourn the court, as it would take time for them to log all of the new evidence and the jury could reach a verdict before that point. Will Moira be sent down for good?

Grace episode 3 features nail-biting danger for Glenn – as his family also comes under fire
It was a traumatic episode for Roy's trusty partner.
*Warning – contains full spoilers for Grace season 6 episode 3.* The third episode of Grace season 6, Dead Man's Game, saw John Simm's Roy and Laura Elphinstone's Bella investigating a murder on a council estate, while Richie Campbell's Glenn and Brad Morrison's Nick investigated an armed robbery carried out by four masked men. 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.

Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw learns horrifying truth about Theo in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Sunday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 7.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. Charging over to the corner shop flat, she asked him about Billy's final moments. It was a painful moment for Theo, who quickly tried to cover his tracks and revealed that his time in Weatherfield was running out - he and Todd intend to move to Belfast tomorrow. Later, Summer cornered Todd for a drink and voiced her suspicion that Theo was the one who killed Billy. He was stunned by her words, though before he had opportunity to respond, Theo ordered him to return home. The atmosphere was frosty - made even worse when Todd made the decision to not go to Belfast after all. He said that Summer needed his support, and that he would join him there further down the line. Theo wasn't impressed. He saw Todd wandering off to the bedroom to unpack his suitcase, and quickly locked the door behind him and taking his phone. A terrified Todd smashed on the door, asking to be allowed out. Will he ever be able to escape Theo?

Doctor Who icon Christopher Eccleston has recalled the TV moment which had an impact that he couldn’t have imagined
"I don’t think either of us could have imagined the effect that it would have," Eccleston said of himself and the show's writer Jimmy McGovern.
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."

Coronation Street and Emmerdale in schedule shake-up this weekend with another unusual episode slot
Fans can expect next Tuesday’s episodes a little earlier…
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.

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.

Emmerdale airs Robert Sugden's emotional revenge on Joe Tate in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Friday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 8pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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". Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. In today's episode, Robert was forced to start the plan alone due to Ross's incompetence. He snuck into Home Farm to grab Joe's laptop and delete the video of Vic, but was promptly caught by Dawn. She, understandably, had a lot of questions - though the video explained a lot. She helped Robert remove it, much to his relief, before confronting Joe. Appalled by his behaviour, Dawn began to tear strips off her boyfriend, and refused to believe that he was acting in their family's best interests. Joe couldn't believe it when she packed her bags and announced the fact she was going to spend the night with ex-husband Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle). Is this the end of Joe and Dawn, and a new beginning for Robert? Or will Joe take further revenge?

Coronation Street airs horrifying discovery for Summer Spellman about villainous Theo in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Friday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 8:30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) is one step closer to discovering who killed her father figure Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) in Coronation Street. 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.

He tried to reassure her that he had no issue with Todd's friends calling by, but that evidently wasn't the case. Gary Windass (Mikey North) is another resident who wants nothing more to do with Theo, and today told him to collect the rest of his tools from the builder's yard. Theo plans to move to Belfast next week - with Todd in tow - and Sarah realised that she had to act fast to stop them. Meeting up with Theo's ex-wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson), she abruptly asked whether he was ever violent towards her. Deeply offended, Danielle went to march out of the Bistro, but was stopped in her tracks by Todd and Theo. They couldn't believe Sarah's actions, and Theo warned her never to contact his family again. She felt terrible when Todd explained that she'd only made matters worse. Meanwhile, Summer spotted Carl leaving the shop and launched into another tirade about his mother Debbie being released from prison following her plea hearing. Debbie was wrongly accused of causing Billy's death, with police assuming her reckless driving was to blame. Carl admitted that he is a liar, and not a good person, but on this occasion he could assure her that neither he nor Debbie had any involvement in the death. Summer looked puzzled as he told her to start looking closer to home for answers. What will Summer do with this information?

Emmerdale teases Robert Sugden revenge on Joe Tate with new ally in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Thursday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 8pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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.

Robert was left guilt ridden, and stormed over to Home Farm to confront Joe. He told him that it was time to stop, and that they could tip off the police about Moira being framed and hope that their attention turned back to late Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) – the person actually responsible. Joe wasn't happy with the suggestion. He said he wasn't prepared to throw his life away to save Moira, and quickly shut down the conversation. Ross Barton (Michael Parr) then arrived, and told Robert that Joe was also getting under his skin. Robert proposed taking him down a peg or two, and said that he would make it worth his while. What will Robert and Ross do, and will they succeed in bringing down Joe?

Coronation Street airs tense scenes for Todd Grimshaw as evil Theo catches secret visitor in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Thursday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 8.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. When Sarah began to ask questions, and was clearly looking to see if he'd been physically abused, Todd became defensive and asked her to leave. Before she could make a hasty exit, Theo returned home and she had to rush into the bedroom. He could see that Todd was hiding something from him, and began frantically searching the flat to discover what it was. Todd vehemently denied his suspicions, though when two mugs were spotted on the kitchen counter, Theo knew that there was someone else in the flat. Theo insisted that he had no problem with Sarah visiting, and the trio sat down for an incredibly awkward cuppa. The expression on Todd's face cemented to her that he was probably going to face some form of punishment when she left. Moments after Sarah left, Theo lunged towards Todd. He promised that nothing was going to happen to him – for now. How will Todd escape his living nightmare?

Emmerdale's Kerry Pollard makes grave mistake in Jacob Sugden and Dr Todd story in early ITVX release
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. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. In today's episode, Kerry was becoming increasingly concerned about Jacob's wellbeing and decided to pop by at Hotten General to check in on him. She overheard Todd tearing strips off Jacob, and decided to confront her. Marching over to the desk, Kerry reminded Todd that Jacob probably shouldn't be working under such stress. She also said she was appalled by the way she'd spoken to him, and wondered whether she truly knew how troubled his life was. After mentioning wife Sarah's (Katie Hill) life-limiting illness, as well as the baby they're expecting, Kerry accused Todd of being "power mad" and of exploiting him. She also let slip that he'd been manipulated by a woman before... This piqued Todd's interest, and during a later conversation with her old mate Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker), she asked for more details. Manpreet divulged basic details about his relationship with Maya Stepney - Liam Cavanagh's (Jonny McPherson) ex-wife - the school teacher who groomed Jacob. Todd told Manpreet that it explained a lot, and that she'd keep it in mind for future. Is Dr Todd about to use Jacob's abuse as a new way to bully him?

Stephen Fry opens up on drug addiction and marriage in powerful episode of The Assembly
Nicola Sturgeon faces questions in tomorrow night's episode.
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 Sturgeon, followed by comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry, actor Anna Maxwell Martin and BRIT award-winning rapper and I'm A Celebrity star Aitch. There is also a surprise in store for viewers, as a sixth and final celebrity to round off the star-studded cast is yet to be announced and will be confirmed at a later date. The first season of the show, featuring Danny Dyer, David Tennant, Jade Thirlwall and Gary Lineker, received critical acclaim. The Assembly continues on Friday 10 April at 10:05pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Coronation Street airs upsetting scenes for terrified Sam Blakeman in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Wednesday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 8.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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.

As viewers know, he's still secretly meeting up with her, and is convinced that one day they can run away to be together. Sam - who has begun to speak to a counsellor about his worries - was targeted by Will at the conclusion of yesterday's instalment. He was innocently strolling down the cobbles when Will began to give chase, and he tripped over onto the ground. Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) rushed over to check on Sam, though by the time he could provide some sort of explanation, Will was no longer in sight. In today's episode, Sam had yet another run-in with Will, who was this time joined by Megan. He rushed home to tell Nick, Leanne and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) about what he saw at the precinct, and they promptly told Eva. She summoned Will into the Rovers back room, asking him to confirm whether Sam was telling the truth. Of course, wanting to protect his groomer, Will insisted that he hadn't left the pub all morning and that it had been fabricated. Sam couldn't believe that he was being made to look like a liar, and retreated to Leanne's flat. Alone on the sofa, he began to sob, clearly stressed that truth was not prevailing. Will his family realise the devastating effect this is having on his mental health?

Emmerdale reveals Cain Dingle's fate and whose car hit him in dramatic early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Wednesday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 8pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
Following on from yesterday's dramatic Emmerdale cliffhanger, we finally know who knocked down Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) with their car. 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 troubling ultimatum. Cain revealed that he would ensure Jacob evaded tough questioning from the police if he managed to bring forward his op, but also told Kerry that if his cancer was to metastasise, he would hold Jacob personally responsible. With such a dilemma on his hands, what will Jacob do?

Why has Gemma Collins returned to I'm a Celebrity 2026?
I'm a Celebrity has returned for a new all stars edition this spring, featuring famous faces who have dared to enter the jungle before and are now giving it another chance. 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. "I can't remember many who were in there with me because it was such a traumatic time," Gemma said of her previous time on the show. So, just why is Gemma Collins back on I'm a Celebrity? Scroll on to find out more. Who is Gemma Collins? Age: 45 Job: TV personality Instagram: @gemmacollins Gemma Collins is a TV personality who rose to fame during her time on reality series The Only Way Is Essex, which skyrocketed her into reality TV superstardom. 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 show on Essex people, because none of us have really left Essex! The fact I am now here is amazing." How long was Gemma Collins on I'm a Celebrity in 2014? Gemma Collins lasted just 72 hours in the I'm a Celebrity jungle. "There were no highlights for me," Gemma reflected. "I just hated it from the minute I got in there and I couldn't wait to get out." Gemma spent so little time in the jungle she didn't do any trials, saying: "Being in the jungle jail was the worst possible scenario for me." I'm a Celebrity...

Coronation Street's Sam Blakeman haunted by Megan Walsh and Will Driscoll ordeal in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Tuesday's episode of Coronation Street, which airs at 8.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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.

In today's episode, Will was taking a stroll with new mate Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall) when they bumped into Sam. Liam, understandably, had a lot of questions about his friend's relationship with their PE teacher. Will tried to shut down his questions, and when Sam asserted that he wasn't going to allow anymore bullying, he pretended that he had no idea what he was talking about. He then headed home and told Eva that Sam was accusing him of intimidation. Wanting to clear his name, Eva charged over to the Viaduct Bistro to tell Leanne that Sam was making the situation a lot worse for himself. Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) – Sam's dad – overheard the altercation between the sisters and warned Eva to keep Will away from Sam, as it was clear he wouldn't lie about such a thing. That night, after grabbing some chips from For Your Fries Only, Sam spotted Will across the road. He began to follow him, and when Sam took his eyes off the road in front, he tripped over a cobble and was sent flying. Nick raced over to check he was ok, but with Will nowhere to be seen, Sam was forced to quickly cover. How far will Will go to shut Sam down?

Emmerdale's Cain Dingle knocked down in car crash horror in early ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Tuesday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 8pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
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... Who hit Cain Dingle with their car in Emmerdale? Suspects revealed 1. Kerry Pollard It's been a whirlwind week for Kerry Pollard (Laura Norton), whose fling with Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) has been revealed to devastated husband Eric (Chris Chittell). Although their marriage was a sham – set up as a way for Eric to squirrel money to grandson Jacob Sugden (Joe-Warren Plant) – it became clear that he was developing real feelings for Kerry. Amid his suspicions, he bought a device that would alert her when he was suffering with side effects of his Parkinson's disease. He discovered that Kerry and Jai were spending time together, and pressed the button to call her away from the encounter.

Kerry is now aware that Eric knows everything, and suggested that they get a divorce and move on. She also told him that she would be packing her bags and moving out of his house, leaving him devastated. After the emotional conversation, she jumped into her car. 2. Graham Foster Graham Foster's (Andrew Scarborough) heart has been broken into a million pieces after ex-girlfriend Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) chose to stay with husband Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock), rather than pursuing a relationship with him. She explained to Marlon that her underlying feelings for Graham were as a result of a lack of closure following his fabricated death six years ago. Marlon offered an apology to him in the caff, though it was clear that Graham wanted to put the whole ordeal behind him and forget about baring his heart to Rhona. After ignoring a call from Joe, he also climbed behind the wheel in the moments prior to Cain's incident. 3. Jacob Sugden It's been another nightmarish day at work for Jacob, who ignored a patient's DNR (do not resuscitate) and performed CPR. The patient was none other than fearsome boss Dr Todd's (Caroline Harker) father, who is in the late stages of dementia and had put the agreement in place while he still had capacity. She was not present when he went into cardiac arrest, and was furious that Jacob had taken his wishes in his own hands. She explained that despite his tiredness and desire to make things right for her, he'd committed a grave error. At the conclusion of his shift, he prepared to drive home. But has the turmoil of the day taken its toll?

7 Coronation Street spoilers next week: Todd Grimshaw reports evil Theo to the police, plus Roy Cropper left in grave danger
Todd makes a brave move, Debbie confronts Carl and Mal reports Kit.
One of Weatherfield's finest institutions goes up in flames next week, as an oblivious Roy Cropper (David Neilson) sleeps nearby. The Coronation Street residents are horrified to see smoke flowing out of the windows, but will he be ok? Meanwhile, in a standalone episode, a badly beaten Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) heads to the police station to report Theo Silverton (James Cartwright). As we approach the big Corrie 'murder week', could he be the one who meets his maker? There's trouble for Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) when son Carl (Jonathan Howard) deals a dilemma, and Mal Roper (Tim Treloar) reports Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) to the police for his assault. Here's everything you need to know about the episodes of Coronation Street airing between Sunday, 12 and Friday 17 April. 7 Coronation Street spoilers for next week 1. Todd Grimshaw reports Theo Silverton to the police in special episode Still reeling from Carl’s claims that someone else may have been responsible for Billy’s death, Summer heads to question Theo about Billy’s final moments - but she’s blindsided when she discovers that he and Todd are planning a move to Belfast. Later, over a drink, she shares her growing suspicion with Todd that Theo is the real culprit. The revelation leaves Todd with everything to process. Concerned, Sarah fills George in on the situation and the pair join Summer in a bid to reach Todd. However, Theo thwarts their efforts, using the ring doorbell to spin a convincing lie that they’ve already left, with Todd supposedly paying for petrol. Inside the flat, Todd attempts to regain some control, persuading Theo to let him call Sarah to corroborate the story. Managing to convince her all is well, he bides his time while Theo steps away for a shower, seizing the opportunity to attempt an escape. But will he make it out? Back at Redbank, Sarah is mid-conversation with Kit when the buzzer sounds. But who’s on the other side? Sadly, pictures seem to suggest that Todd doesn't manage to get away. In a powerful standalone episode, he finally takes a stand, reporting Theo for assault and opening up to Lisa and Kit about months of coercive abuse. Meanwhile, as the truth about Theo’s violent behaviour begins to spread across Weatherfield, he realises his time is running out and becomes increasingly desperate to flee. Knowing that video evidence from Theo’s tablet could prove crucial, Sarah takes matters into her own hands, searching his van for the device. She finds what she’s looking for - but could her actions make an already dangerous situation even worse?

Later, George offers to accompany Todd back to the flat to collect his belongings, but when the buzzer sounds, Todd is sent into a panic and flees in tears. At No.11, Christina and Mary rally around him, but it’s Summer’s embrace that reveals the full extent of his ordeal, as Todd winces in pain. Is this finally the end? 2. A fire rages through the cafe as Roy Cropper sleeps Feeling under the weather, Roy returns early from his bat watch meeting to find the flat without electricity. Sending Jodie home for the day, he heads upstairs to rest. However, danger soon brews when Carla, Dev and Bernie notice smoke billowing from the flat above the café. With everyone assuming Roy is still out, the alarm is raised too late - and inside, Roy lies unconscious as smoke fills the room. Will he be found in time? 3. George Shuttleworth considers selling the undertakers At the funeral parlour, a downbeat George confides in Glenda that he may be forced to sell the business to RestEasy at a knock-down price. Unbeknownst to him, Christina is already hatching a secret plan, but what does she have in mind? 4. Debbie Webster demands answers from Carl Debbie gathers Christina, Glenda, Sally and Bernie with plans for a girls’ getaway, but the mood quickly sours when Bernie reveals Carl’s shocking offer to trade information about Billy’s death for a share of his life insurance. Furious, Debbie confronts Carl over the allegation. After being summoned to the Streetcars flat, she pressures him for answers, but while he admits to hearing someone confess to Billy’s murder, he refuses to give names. Disgusted, Debbie throws him out - but the stress takes its toll, and as she stares blankly ahead, Ryan realises she’s suffering another episode. Later, he fills Ronnie in on the confrontation and its aftermath, leaving him to decide how to respond. Carl seeks Ronnie out at the hotel to revisit his earlier offer. 5. Mal Roper reports Kit Green for assault At the station, Lisa informs Kit that Mal Roper has accused him of assault. Kit attempts to brush it off, insisting Mal is unhinged and targeting anyone linked to Bernie. Though Lisa appears to accept his explanation, it’s clear she’s not entirely convinced. Is this the end of Kit's policing career? 6. Eva Price tries to mend the fracture between Ben and Maggie Driscoll In a bid to make things right, Eva gathers Ben, Ollie, Will and Maggie at the bistro, hoping to broker peace. When Steve and Cassie arrive, Ben extends an olive branch, inviting them to join as family tensions simmer. Eva delivers a heartfelt speech in the hope of uniting everyone, but will it be enough? Later, plans clash when Maggie announces a coffee morning with her friends at the Rovers, only for Eva to reveal she’s already booked a pamper session for Susie and her friends. Backed by Ben, Eva’s decision leaves Maggie deeply hurt. Steve attempts to question Maggie about her past with Jim, but she shuts him down. Ben then encourages Steve to join him for a drink and a game of darts - though it’s clear he has more on his mind than just friendly competition. 7. Jodie Ramsey causes a Platt family fallout Still searching in vain for her missing police badge, Lisa heads off to work unaware of what’s brewing elsewhere. At No.8, David chats to Gail on the phone, wishing her a happy birthday, but admits they can’t afford the new tablet Lily wants.
