Who left I’m a Celebrity 2025? All the eliminated contestants
Just three campmates are left in the jungle.
There are now just three contestants left in the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025 jungle as the race to the final reaches its dramatic conclusion. It’s been a whirlwind journey since the famous faces first entered camp in mid-November, delivering plenty of emotional highs alongside the brutal realities of jungle life. From relentless Bushtucker Trials to stomach-churning challenges and weeks away from family and friends, the experience has tested every campmate to their limits. This week’s penultimate episode saw the return of a firm fan favourite in Celebrity Cyclone, with the final four – Angry Ginge, Shona McGarty, Tom Read Wilson and Aitch – all taking on the iconic challenge as they edged closer to the finishing line. With the final now just hours away and Sunday 7th December set to crown this year’s winner, the pressure is higher than ever. But which campmate fell at the final hurdle and missed out on a place in the last showdown? Read on for everything you need to know about the eliminated campmates so far. Who left I'm a Celebrity 2025? Aitch Aitch became the latest campmate to exit the I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025 jungle, bowing out at the final hurdle just ahead of the final. Speaking to Ant and Dec after his departure, the rapper took the result in good spirits, insisting he was "absolutely over the moon" with the outcome. "Them three are just mega," he said, before admitting his hope that close friend Shona McGarty would do well and confirming he ultimately wanted Angry Ginge to take the crown. Lisa Riley Lisa Riley swiftly followed Jack Osborne across the rope bridge as the eighth to exit the I'm a Celebrity 2025 jungle. Riley, the second celeb voted out in Friday's double elimination, made it no secret just how much she had enjoyed the experience. Speaking to Ant and Dec after her departure, she described the show as her "basket of bliss, every single second of it” before revealing she wanted Angry Ginge to win. Jack Osbourne Jack Osbourne became the seventh famous face to leave the jungle in I'm a Celebrity 2025 as part of Friday's double elimination based on a viewer vote. The 40-year-old, who is the son of Ozzy and Sharon Osborne, was seemingly ready to leave. He told Ant and Dec: "I’m tired of camp life but it’s been amazing." He backed Tom Read Wilson to win Sunday's final and be crowned King of the Jungle. Martin Kemp Martin Kemp has become the sixth person to leave the I'm a Celebrity jungle after the public vote meant it was between him or Lisa Riley. He was met at the end of the bridge by his wife, Wham! singer Shirlie Holliman. Speaking with Ant and Dec about his departure, the Spandau Ballet star said: "I feel like, coming out now, I’ve done it, done everything I wanted to do, I’ve experienced it and I’ve got some good anecdotes." He added that, despite his favourite thing about the jungle being "the other people, without a doubt," he always felt a bit of an outsider in the group because he was quiet. Ruby Wax Audiences were left shocked upon discovering that Ruby Wax was the fifth celebrity to be leaving the I'm a Celebrity jungle. Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec of her exit, Ruby said: "I’d done a show in a jungle so I thought, with people, it would be really interesting. But this is family and I’m really sad I’ve lost them. "I was the queen, not voted the queen. Suddenly they become your servants, when you’re the leader you believe… I can’t believe I’ve been voted out." Kelly Brook Kelly Brook became the fourth campmate to be voted out by the public and therefore out of the running to be the next Queen of the Jungle. Speaking of her time in the jungle, Kelly said: "What a fabulous group of people. It's been brilliant but I am so ready to come out. "It's a dream and so beautiful in there. It would have been nice to get to the final but there are people in there that want it more than me." Vogue Williams Despite being a late entry into the jungle, Vogue Williams left the competition early and became the third celebrity to be eliminated from I'm a Celebrity 2025. The podcaster said it felt "good" to be out of the jungle, admitting that: "It was getting pretty hard, I'm so hungry, but it's such a weird thing, because you kind of want to stay as well, because it's so fun in there." She added: "You’re just doing so many random things, and like everyone is such good fun. And yeah, I’ll be sad to leave." Eddie Kadi Eddie Kadi became the second campmate to be eliminated from I'm a Celebrity, following a public vote. "What a great time," Kadi said as he reflected on his journey on I'm a Celebrity. "I've made amazing friends, I’ve faced some fears, and to be fair it still feels surreal to be on such an iconic show." He added: "It's literally changed my life. Coming from the Congo, where we have a massive rainforest, I feel like I’ve had a taste of what my grandparents experienced, and I realise now why they were so humble. They were joyful regardless of any situation." Alex Scott Alex Scott was the first famous face to be eliminated from the I'm a Celebrity camp. Hosts Ant and Dec revealed to the camp that Alex and Kelly Brook were in the bottom two following a public vote. After a tense moment, the pair revealed that Alex had been eliminated. The former Lioness said she felt "free" to be out of the jungle, adding that she found the experience "incredible".

We can all feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for something to watch in the world of streaming, so if you're in need of some help, you've come to the right place. This week on Netflix: it might not be a huge stretch for him, but George Clooney puts in a roundly entertaining performance as a Hollywood A-lister undergoing a crisis of confidence in Jay Kelly, the latest comic drama from film-maker Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story). It’s Adam Sandler, though, who takes the acting honours as the star’s long-suffering manager. In The Roses over on Disney+, Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch get their claws out as the married couple whose relationship collapses in a new adaptation of black comedy The War of the Roses. Meanwhile: prepare for the unfamiliar experience of booing Gillian Anderson. In The Abandons, a new drama set in the nascent United States in the 1850s, she’s ruthless landowner Constance Van Ness who’s at war with the plucky locals in the semi- lawless Northwest. Fresh to Disney+ is The Beatles Anthology, an eight-part documentary series that was first broadcast in 1995 but has been digitally refreshed for a new generation. Long-term fans will flock to the ninth episode made up of unseen footage of Paul, George and Ringo in conversation. And in the unlikely event you missed it, we’re back to the 1980s for one last time, as the first part of the final season of blockbuster Netflix sci-fi drama Stranger Things sees the plucky kids of Hawkins, Indiana, face off with interdimensional monsters and the US military to save their home town. Expect horrifying creatures, horrifying haircuts and plenty of 20th-century nostalgia. There's no shortage of streaming options, and so to give you a bit of a hand, RadioTimes.com has collated some of the best new offerings: from Netflix and Disney Plus to Prime Video, BBC iPlayer and Apple TV, here are the latest highlights across the services.

Twisted Emmerdale villains Celia Daniels and Ray Walters evade justice after April Windsor confession in ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Friday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
Warped Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) have struck again in Emmerdale, after threatening the entire Dingle-Goskirk family and knocking over Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) – sending him into a coma. It came after April Windsor (Amelia Flangan) bravely confessed to parents Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) about her ongoing ordeal. However, before they could act on a solution, Celia barged her way into Smithy Cottage and said she would go to extreme lengths to silence them – houses would be burnt, cars would crash... and throats would be slit. She then grabbed Rhona by the face, digging her fingernails into her cheeks. In today's episode, Marlon came to the conclusion that the only thing that could save them would be if the police knew. After some persuasion, April agreed to join him. As they sat down in the interview, the teen began to suffer flashbacks to when she envisioned Marlon's death at the hands of Ray, and found the whole situation too much to bare. Unfortunately, the officer dealing with their claims brought some bad news. She explained that there wasn't enough physical evidence to even bring them into the station, and even if they did, they would have to release them before more proof could be collated. The father and daughter returned home, shocked to find that Ray was holding Rhona hostage. He'd researched her ex-husband Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather), and knew that she'd been sexually and physically assaulted by him. Constantly saying his name and referring to the situation was immensely triggering for her, and wanted to assert his control over the family. When he left, Marlon came to the conclusion that the only way they would be able to gain control over their lives again would be to find a moment when they weren't being watched and flee the village. Will the family go through with the plan?

Since then, he has served as the receptionist and client co-ordinator on Celebs Go Dating. Tom is rather scared about heading into camp, admitting he is as "fearful as a porcupine". He said: "My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror. But I have got a very strict rule in life. If the only reason that you don’t want to do it is fear, you must do it whatever it is. I’m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells won’t dance properly in camp, too. "At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don’t have a lubricant for it. I can be vague at times and I don’t want to scatter brain cells over the camp!" Angry Ginge Age: 23 Job: Media personality Instagram: @angryginge13 Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, is a content creator who rose in popularity for his live streams surrounding FIFA and football-related content and has amassed over three million followers across social media. Despite having only ever been away from social media for a week, the content creator knew he couldn't turn down the opportunity to appear on the show when he was first approached. "I’ve watched the show on the sofa with my mum ever since I was a kid," he said. "To take part in it this year is something I couldn’t pass up on. “But my whole life is spent on the phone. I’ve been away once for a week. And so, two to three weeks without it is going to be very educational to see how I will do!" Jack Osbourne Age: 39 Job: Media personality Instagram: @jackosbourne Jack Osbourne is a media personality and the youngest child of Sharon Osbourne and the late Ozzy Osbourne. Over the years, he has starred in a number of programmes fronted by his family, most notably The Osbournes in the early 2000s. Despite feeling nervous about what lies ahead in the jungle, Jack said he is looking forward to throwing himself into the I'm a Celebrity life. He said: "I definitely had to think about doing this programme. It’s an absolute commitment but the real reason why it is popular is people sit at home saying, 'Could I do that?', so I think a lot of why I’ve said 'yes' is the intrigue and how would I survive that? I am very nervous though!" Shona McGarty Age: 34 Job: Actress Instagram: @shonabmx Shona McGarty is an actress best known for her portrayal of Whitney Dean on EastEnders. She left the role last year, and has been working in theatre since. The actress has "always wanted" to do I'm a Celebrity and is looking forward to finding her voice outside of the script and character she grew up playing. She said: "Everyone expects me to wear massive gold hoop earrings and have a ponytail while eating chicken nuggets! But I am nothing like that. I’m looking forward to using this experience to be completely myself, which nobody has seen." Aitch Age: 25 Job: Rapper Instagram: @aitch Aitch, real name Harrison James Armstrong, is a rapper who rose to fame in 2018. He released his debut studio album in 2022, which reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and has since released 20 Top 10 singles in the UK. The rapper is hoping to inspire young viewers that it is possible to achieve anything in life as well as raise awareness about Down Syndrome, a genetic disorder his sister Gracie has. Aitch admitted he cancelled gigs to take part in the show, and said: "On a personal Harrison level, this show is something I grew up watching in our house. It would almost be disrespectful to say ‘no’. Why would I not do it? "On an Aitch level, I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down Syndrome and I feel that’s the perfect place. Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. "You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool. I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time." Lisa Riley Age: 49 Job: Actress Instagram: @lisajaneriley Lisa Riley is an actress and comedian, best known for her role as Mandy Dingle on Emmerdale. She decided to finally say yes to I'm a Celebrity because she is turning 50 next year. She said: "It's 30 years on and off playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale and 10 years of being sober. It’s like a big baguette where everything I wanted was in it! And it’s I’m A Celebrity’s 25th series anniversary too."

"He told me to go in and enjoy it all," Kemp said. "He said it's the most fun he has ever had and he said, 'I am really jealous; I know how much fun you are going to have.'" Just as Martin voted for Roman to do the "worst trials", Roman has promised to do the same! Ruby Wax OBE Age: 72 Job: Presenter and comedian Instagram: @rubywax Ruby Wax is a presenter and comedian who shot to fame in the '90s thanks to her popular chat shows. She was also a script editor on the popular BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. But the comedy legend is looking to show the public the "real her" while in the I'm a Celebrity camp. "It hasn't actually sunk in that I am doing this but I am really looking forward to meeting my fellow campmates," Ruby said. "In my personas before, I looked quite aggressive and pushy, and I think it was just my nerves. I am not aggressive, it's the way I talk. I'm not confrontational and it looked like I was." Kelly Brook Age: 45 Job: Model and radio DJ Instagram: @iamkb Kelly Brook is a model and actress, and has appeared in a number of films and TV programmes including Survival Island, Smallville, Celebrity Juice and Britain's Got Talent. She recently starred alongside her husband Jeremy Parisi in Celebrity Race Across the World. The radio DJ had always vowed to never take part in I'm a Celebrity, but had a change of heart after running the London Marathon, admitting the race made her realise she can do things she never thought possible. "I have said I will never do I’m A Celebrity… several times. I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and bushtucker trials. But since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by," she explained. "We did Race Across the World and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me. I’m such a fan of the show that I thought, ‘Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.’ I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it." Vogue Williams Age: 40 Job: Podcaster and TV presenter Instagram: @voguewilliams Vogue Williams is a media personality and presenter, who first rose to fame in Ireland after appearing on Fade Street, before then participating on the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars. Since then, she has gone on to host My Therapist Ghosted Me with Joanne McNally, and her own titles Never Live It Down and Vogue & Amber which she co-hosts alongside her sister. After recently turning 40, Vogue admitted she had become too "comfortable in life" and decided I'm a Celebrity was the right step out of her comfort zone. She added: "I always thought I wouldn’t do it, because I've gotten too comfortable in my life. I like to have eight hours of sleep, I like to eat nice things, I like to just chill out and I never put myself out of my comfort zone. "Then when I turned 40, I started to get scared of ridiculous things. I didn’t want to be this person. Doing this is such a massive life experience and it is not something you can pay to do. So now I am 40, I think it will be pretty cool to do I’m a Celebrity!" Eddie Kadi Age: 42 Job: Comedian Instagram: @comeddiekadi Eddie Kadi is a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian and radio presenter, and was the first black British comedian to headline the O2 Arena in London.

In 2023, he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and was paired with Karen Hauer. Speaking of taking part on I'm a Celebrity, Eddie said: "I have had a few friends who have done it like Oti Mabuse and Babatunde. They have all come back with such great stories. You only live once and I said 'yes' immediately. "Raising a daughter is a beautiful thing and my daughter is extremely excited. It’s going to be a story for her every single day. And if I were to be crowned ‘King of the Jungle’, my daughter would be the proudest daughter in the world." Alex Scott MBE Age: 41 Job: Sports presenter Instagram: @alexscott2 Alex Scott is a former professional footballer turned pundit, and has been the presenter of Football Focus since 2021. A self-described introvert, Alex shared she will need to "push" herself to "speak out around all of the different and big personalities". She explained: "Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge. People see you on TV and they assume you are outgoing, that loud person, but take me to red carpets or events and I am the one in the corner going, ‘Talk to me, please give me a plus one so I don’t have to be that person who walks in on my own’. It’s going to be a challenge." I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs nightly on ITV1 and ITVX. Add I'm a Celebrity...

Major Emmerdale character left for dead as the truth about Celia Daniels and Ray Walters is revealed in ITVX release
Warning: Contains spoilers for Thursday's episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 7.30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.
Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) are now privy to Celia Daniels and Ray Walters's (Jaye Griffiths and Joe Absolom) vile operation in Emmerdale, and have subsequently realised the full extent of their capabilities. It was the moment young April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) had nightmares about. She was finally coming clean about her ordeal, having been forced to deal drugs and sleep with men. In a way, the admission didn't pan out how she expected. In harrowing scenes last month, she envisioned Ray turning up and shooting Marlon dead, though on this occasion it was Celia doing the dirty work. She strolled into Smithy Cottage and whipped out her phone, promising to show the family what they were prepared to do to silence them – and if April stopped working for them. In Ray's car, after thinking he'd made a breakthrough with him, April's boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) was heading to the police station to report Celia. This was just moments after he realised that Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) was being forced to work for them. Ray asked him to go and open the gate and clear the road, though with his back turned, he slammed his foot on the accelerator and sent poor Dylan flying through the air. As he lay unconscious on the ground, Celia told the Dingle-Goskirk clan that they were also at risk should they decide to spill. She knew their every movement, all of their family, and if there was anymore trouble, houses would be burned to the ground, cars would be crashed – and throats would be slit. When Rhona went to challenge her, she grabbed her by the face and dug her nails into her cheeks until she bled. Luckily for Dylan, he was found on the roadside – albeit in a bad way – and had been rushed into hospital. Will he survive the ordeal, and what will Marlon and Rhona's next move be?

Coronation Street legend's future with soap revealed as they 'sign contract' for 28th year in role
They were just 15 when they joined the soap.
One of Coronation Street's longest-running characters will be on our screens for another year of cobbles drama. Alan Halsall, who first appeared on the ITV soap as Tyrone Dobbs in 1998, has reportedly signed on the dotted line with a big storyline ahead. The character arrived alongside adoptive mother Jackie (Margi Clarke), though soon became somewhat of a surrogate son to Jack and Vera Duckworth (Bill Tarmey and Liz Dawn). He was at the centre of the 50th anniversary, when first wife Molly Dobbs's (Vicky Binns) affair with his business partner Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) was exposed, and Tyrone realised that he wasn't the father of their son. More recent storylines have included finding his drug addict birth mother Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) and harridan grandmother Evelyn (Dame Maureen Lipman), fathering a child during an affair, and suffering a severe spinal cord injury following a hit and run. The latter incident has seen him require the use of a wheelchair for mobility, while wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) has been left to juggle his care and looking after their three children. In the last week she checked into the Chariot Square Hotel for a break, under the guise that she was visiting unwell mother Cilla Battersby-Brown (Wendi Peters) in Wolverhampton. Now, The Sun reports that Halsall has signed his new contract for at least another year, with a source claiming there are "big things coming up for the soap and Tyrone" in the next 12 months. Little does Ty realise, his accident was caused by Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard). The meddling brother of Kevin has been manipulating his sister Debbie's (Sue Devaney) dementia diagnosis, has coupled up with sister-in-law Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) and is secretly sleeping with neighbour James Bailey (Jason Callender). As this is Weatherfield, things tend not to stay secret for long! Could Tyrone by the one who brings Carl down?

Coronation Street is lining up a special, standalone episode following Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) abuse of Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce). The instalment has been filmed through hidden cameras and police body cams, as a domestic incident is reported on the cobbles. Meanwhile, Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) is hot on son Will's (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) heels when he heads to the hotel for an afternoon in the sheets with Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). Elsewhere, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) has some news, and there's drama for Abi and Carl Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine and Jonathan Howard). Here's a look at everything happening in Weatherfield between Monday 15th and Friday 19th December. 5 Coronation Street spoilers 1. The police intervene after another Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton incident In a single strand instalment, police swarm the cobbles after reports of a domestic incident. A series of flashbacks then take us to a moment when Theo's abuse escalates, through the point of view of Todd's hidden camera, CCTV and police body cams. Is this the end of the road for Theo? The next day, Todd cleans up the breakages in the flat as he comes to terms with how bad things have got. Bernie has seen just how bad the scene was, and tells George that she thinks there's more to the situation than meets the eye. Alongside Christina, he decides to pay the couple a visit and offer Todd his job back. He puts on a brave face when questions about the row are posed, but will the truth be outed? 2. Will Driscoll is caught in the act with Megan Walsh Will tells Bernie that he hasn't got any mates in Weatherfield, and she calls in Brody to strike up a friendship. Megan puts a smile on his face when she promises him a training session, and Daniel notices how besotted he seems. Brody calls by and invites himself along to the training session, something which frustrates Will. He's even more infuriated when he suggests asking Megan out. Later in the week, it's Will's birthday. Ben and Eva pretend they haven't organised anything special, so he heads out to meet Megan instead. They secretly spend the afternoon in one another's arms at the Chariot Square Hotel, unaware that his family have pulled out all the stops to make his 16th a memorable day. As Will confesses his love for Megan, Maggie is confused as to why he's ignored her calls. Steve tells Ben that he saw his son heading into the hotel, and he charges over – hammering on the door. Is his game up? 3. Dee-Dee Bailey is moving on – and brother James isn't happy Dee-Dee has to deal some news to Ed – she's got a new job. He's delighted for her and plans a meal for everyone at the bistro. However, when she drops another bombshell, the family are shocked to the core. James is in disbelief and fails to show up to the event, leaving Dee-Dee saddened. 4.

Just as Fiz, Hope and Ruby arrive, Joanie knocks over the Christmas tree and angrily tells Sally that she'll never replace her mum Lou. 5. Abi Webster notices something strange on Carl's phone James makes a drunken mistake and texts Carl, something which he later regrets and instructs him to ignore it.

5 Emmerdale spoilers: Celia Daniels brainwashes Laurel Thomas as fury erupts with Moira Dingle
Charity is worried about her baby secret, Ruby causes chaos and Bear suffers an injury.
Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) tightens her grip on Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) in Emmerdale this month, ordering him to end his relationship with Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy). He's clearly losing faith in his relationship with his 'mother', firstly debating whether to follow her wishes regarding Laurel, and secondly wondering whether to disobey her and take Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) to hospital. Ray isn't the only one in Celia's firing line, as Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) finds out about some of her criminal behaviour.

Here's everything happening in Emmerdale between Monday 15th and Friday 19th December. 5 Emmerdale spoilers 1. Celia Daniels deals an ultimatum to Ray Walters concerning Laurel Thomas Celia springs some big news on Ray – she's joining him and Laurel for dinner, and it's not long before she starts lording herself over the couple.

Laurel is deeply hurt by her words and lays her cards on the table about how affected she feels. He's upset and storms out – something which is noticed by Rhona, who is worried. When he arrives home, Ray can see that Celia is jealous of his closeness with someone else and is gobsmacked when she makes him promise to end things. 2. Moira Dingle is wary of her new business partner Moira discovers that Celia has been forging her signature on invoices for turkey purchases, something that she had previously decided against. When she confronts the criminal over her fraudulent behaviour, Celia quickly covers and defuses her accusations. Moira is beyond furious and slaps her, but soon worries that she could be facing legal consequences as a result. Later, she's determined to bring her shady business partner's operation down. 3. Ruby Miligan kickstarts a new venture – and it backfires Ruby gets drunk and decides to kickstart a new enterprise importing wine, with Manpreet having a brainwave to get rid of the surplus stock.

Richard Armitage confirmed as "reckless" pathologist in "compelling" new police drama – and he's joined by a favourite from The Split
Filming is due to begin during early 2026.
PBS and ITV have commissioned a “compelling” police procedural starring Richard Armitage and Annabel Scholey. Based on the long-running French crime series Balthazar, Winter stars Armitage as Ethan Winter, an unconventional forensic pathologist, and Scholey as DI Lauren Bell, a no-nonsense detective, who are working together on a case in Bristol. “Together they make a formidable team, as Winter’s genius and insight into the victims is invaluable to Bell and her murder squad detectives,” the official synopsis teases. It continues: “Yet, Winter is harbouring a secret. The unsolved murder of someone close to him still haunts his every move, and he’s intent on unofficially investigating the death to bring the murderer to justice.” Winter is the latest collaboration between PBS and ITV, following in the footsteps of Downton Abbey, Professor T and Grantchester. ITV Studios-owned Eagle Eye is producing and ITV Studios is distributing. Armitage said in a statement: “The team behind Winter are second to none and the ambition of David Allison’s scripts is very exciting and will attempt to shake up the genre that we’ve grown to love. "Ethan Winter is a compelling character treading the line between diligent professional and reckless maverick. He has a painful secret and a fatalistic self-destruct button over which his finger constantly hovers. I’m thrilled to be returning to ITV." Scholey added: "I am thrilled to be joining ITV and Eagle Eye Drama as part of the Winter team, and to be working alongside the brilliant Richard Armitage on these fantastic scripts. Our characters’ tempestuous relationship will be a total thrill to explore, and I am excited to step into the wonderfully dry shoes of DI Lauren Bell." Winter will be directed by Dries Vos (The Couple Next Door, Professor T) and Kaat Beels (Professor T, The Twelve), while Matt Baker (Professor T) will produce. Jo McGrath and Walter Iuzzolino will executive produce the series on behalf of Eagle Eye Drama. David Allison (The Couple Next Door) and Mark Greig (Ashes to Ashes) are penning the adaptation. Filming is due to kick off in Bristol and Belgium during early 2026. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Coronation Street writer reveals how much longer Debbie Webster will remain on the ITV soap amid tragic dementia story
It's the story that has received intense backlash from Coronation Street fans - one of the ITV soap's most beloved characters, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), has been diagnosed with young-onset dementia. Tragic scenes saw the hotelier struggle with memory loss, and after seeking private medical attention, her worst fears were confirmed. Debbie has subsequently been manipulated by brother Carl (Jonathan Howard), making her feel as if her cognitive ability is rapidly declining so that she will handover the financial side of her businesses to him. Last night's episode saw her bravely reveal to some clients at the hotel about her condition, before heading off for an afternoon of drinking and merriment with several Weatherfield women. The refreshing, uplifting scenes saw the group run-in with a police officer in the carpark of the local Freshco branch, with Debbie jokingly sat in a shopping trolley. Legendary Corrie scriptwriter Jonathan Harvey shared a snap of the leading ladies on set on social media, alongside a caption that gave an insight into how long the dementia storyline could run for. "The Unusual Suspects! I’ve written the second half of tonight’s Corrie, and very proud of it I am too," he said. “Debbie and her best girlfriends down a few cocktails and have a scream and bond. So lovely to have been given an episode celebrating female friendship and to be able to play it with all these brilliant Corrie women. “As Debbie’s dementia progresses over the next few years she’s going to need the strength of Debbie’s Angels to steer her through.” While this means that the fan-favourite will continue to appear into 2027 and possibly beyond, it doesn't come without turmoil. Aside from her memory worsening, we also know that a shock death will hit the Webster family this Christmas. There'll also be some happiness, as she walks down the aisle with Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan). However, the event may turn sour as it's highly likely that it could form the basis for the upcoming Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover episode Corriedale. Dales wedding planner Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) has already mentioned a 'bridezilla' in Manchester who wants a choir to perform at her ceremony, something which Debbie has also directly referenced in her own soap.

Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover special releases explosive first-look trailer and confirms more key cast
The crossover's plot line has been revealed.
ITV has unveiled a first look at the dramatic Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover episode that is due to air in the New Year. The instalment, which will kickstart a new daily broadcast pattern for both flagship soaps, will see our much-loved Weatherfield and Hotten locals come together for one special evening. Details on how this will be facilitated have been pretty scarce up until now, with a new trailer showing that a multi-vehicle pile-up will be at the epicentre of the action. It's pretty safe to assume that criminal John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) will crop up in some respect, given wanted posters have been spotted in Weatherfield Police Station. It's also been strongly implied that Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) is the 'bridezilla' that wedding planner Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) is dealing with in Manchester. Whatever happens, it's bound to be a night that changes lives forever. Lives are on the line as a horrific storm hits a dark, country road in Hotten, as a few familiar voices cry out... Alongside the already confirmed Vicky Myers and Danny Miller, who play Lisa Swain and Aaron Dingle, the trailer shows that David Platt (Jack P Shepherd), Tracy McDonald (Kate Ford) and Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) as the latest cast members to join the line-up. What exactly causes the disaster remains to be seen, but it's not one to be missed. New pictures, alongside a combined logo, show a fire ball erupting from an overturned vehicle as someone lies on the floor. View oEmbed on the source website Another shows a silhouette of a man strolling past another overturned car, as a fire engine races towards the scene in a cloud of smoke. ITV has promised that Corriedale is "just the start of the drama", with the aftermath giving us "murderous intent, death, destruction, closely-guarded secrets, and lies". In October, Corrie producer Kate Brooks teased what was ahead. "Filming's been brilliant and we've got a brilliant director and scripts. The actors are loving it because it's so different and unique from what they've ever done before," she revealed. "The mood and camaraderie is really infectious!" She continued: "I can't help but imagine what my mum is going to be like watching this episode. She'll be so beside herself because as a soap fan, the idea of sitting down with your two favourite shows with all your favourite characters in this massive, unmissable piece of tele, it's amazing. "Everyone's worked so hard on this behind the scenes. The cast have been amazing, but behind the scenes, it's been quite a feat logistically to get everything in the right place. "It's a testament to how hard and how passionate all people are. Everyone's put their hearts and souls into it."

5 Emmerdale spoilers: Kim Tate accepts death as Jason Donovan arrives in the village
Sam clashes with Joe, Bob puts on a show and Vinny is left frustrated.
Another big week is approaching in Emmerdale, as Kim Tate (Claire King) suffers an injury while alone in the woods – and fears that she will die. The majority of the villagers are preoccupied by the Christmas Fayre and a private Jason Donovan concert at The Woolie, while Sam Dingle (James Hooton) is organising an illegal shoot at Home Farm. Meanwhile, Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) is shocked to receive a sudden windfall, and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) tries his upmost to get some alone time with Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches).

Kim Tate suffers a devastating injury while walking alone Sam stands up to Joe, though with their bills mounting, Lydia encourages him to make amends and get his job back.

Desperate for cash, Sam plans a secret shoot on the Home Farm estate behind Kim's back, while Lydia plans to distract her. She's blissfully unaware that she's organised a special surprise at The Woolpack for her. Vanessa spots the shoot taking place and when Kim goes to investigate, she injures herself in the woods. She's unable to move her leg, and begins to accept that she may never be found. 2. Jason Donovan swaps Ramsay Street for The Woolpack Kim instructs Lydia to the pub – where she's pulled a few strings and made Jason Donovan play a very special, intimate concert just for her! It's a dream come true and Jason's overjoyed to receive such a warm welcome from the villagers. 3. Pollard reveals his latest scheme to Kerry Wyatt Kerry's baffled when a bank account is set up in her name with a whopping £15k in it. Jacob tells her that it could be a mistake, or a fraudulent scheme, and she's best not to spend it. Later, Pollard is alarmed to hear about Kerry's sudden cash flow, and when he's alone with her, explains that he's the one who's set up the account. Pollard intends for her to be the middle man in a plot to siphon tax-free money to Jacob.

The residents worry about the Christmas Fayre Lydia, Claudette and Nicola are dismayed when none of the villagers buy tickets for their Christmas Fayre.

Emmerdale airs double exit from the village for iconic couple in early ITVX release
**Warning: Contains spoilers for Friday's (28th November) episode of Emmerdale, which airs at 7:30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed now on ITVX.** Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) have left Emmerdale village after a particularly eventful week. The two can't be blamed for wanting a break. Less than 24 hours ago, they were held hostage by Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill), who made a desperate final attempt to reunite with Robert, his prison husband. Robert made it explicitly clear on a number of occasions that their relationship couldn't go any further and that his heart belonged to Aaron – something which Kev didn't take too well. He looted a pawn shop and obtained a sword, which he then threatened to use in yesterday's episode. Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), who was his unwilling getaway driver in the robbery, turned up at the right time as Robert required medical attention. Aaron was in the sword's firing line, but it hit Robert in the arm. The police also came knocking, though were unaware of the situation unfolding inside of the flat and were actually there to find Caleb Milligan (William Ash). Kev was spooked, but after realising that the trio hadn't contacted authorities, glided out of the village and into the sunset. However, in today's episode, the threat of his return loomed large. Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) was worried that her brother remained at risk, and until Kev was tracked down by authorities, the waiting game could prove lethal. Aaron agreed, and told Robert that they should head off and lay low for a bit. When will they return, and will we ever see Kev again? The door has been left firmly open, so there's certainly opportunity!

Major Emmerdale character leaves after sword attack and holding three villagers hostage – but will they be back?
The end of an era for the very popular character.
Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) has left Emmerdale village for a fresh start after failing to win over Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley). The convict has spent several months trying to win back his hubby, having been granted compassionate leave from prison due to a supposed incurable heart condition. It later transpired that he was actually expected to live for several decades should he follow an appropriate course of treatment. But Kev faced an almighty issue – Robert had rekindled a romance with former spouse Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) – and decided to use his illness as a way of keeping him by his side. Robert, still under the belief that Kev's condition was terminal, put the breaks on a Robron reunion. However, some weeks later, Rob eventually decided to come clean and admit that he'd fallen out of love with his jail buddy. There was simply no way for them to move forward. Kev spiralled, returning to his life of crime and committing a robbery on a pawn shop. Armed with cash and a number of items he intended to sell – including a sword – he headed back to the village. Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) had become his unintentional getaway driver, and decided to join a plan to rid him from the area. This backfired, as Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) overheard, and tipped him off. She wanted Kev to be spared from another stint at His Majesty's Pleasure so that he could form a relationship with son Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches). However, in today's episode, he decided to commit yet another crime, holding Robron hostage in The Mill, wielding the sword and attempting to woo Robert for one final time. An unknowing Liam then arrived, and just in time too – Kev swung the weapon and it cut Robert's arm. He wasn't alone, as the police were right behind, except none of the trio had called them. They were actually swarming the building to look for Caleb Milligan (William Ash), who they suspected knew something about drugs being pushed through the depot. Kev refused to let them in, and eventually accepted that Aaron, Robert and Liam were incapable of reporting him. Walking out of the cottage with his loot over his shoulder, he cheekily spoke to the officers and wandered off into the sunset. However, one last interaction with Lewis made us wonder whether he'd ever attempt to form a relationship with his estranged son. Will we see Kev again? The door has certainly been left open...
