Brooklyn Beckham returned to Instagram – but was hit by a barrage of brutal comments slamming him for how he had treated mum Victoria and dad David

Brooklyn Beckham returned to Instagram after his love declaration

Brooklyn Beckham finally returned to social media after “choosing” wife Nicola Peltz over his family – and his comments section is brutal, to say the least.

Victoria and David’s eldest son, 26, sent a damning message to his famous mum, dad and siblings last week as the Beckham family feud threatens to spiral. The estranged former photographer publicly vowed that he will “always choose” his wife Nicola Peltz after claims that she has been the catalyst behind the mass fall out.

Back on Instagram, Brooklyn took the time to promote his $16.99 (£12.61) hot sauce as he swigged on a Guinness. Unfortunately for the wannabe entrepreneur, his 16.3million followers cruelly lashed out at him for “using his dad’s name” to flog the product, accusing him of “not being a chef or even a cook” and told he would be “working in Poundland” if not for his mum and dad.

One wrote: “Using his dads name and number to promote his sauce yet dont even check his dad on a big milestone birthday.” While another remarked mockingly: “lol if it wasn’t for David and Victoria this guy would be working in Poundland.

A third commented: “Looks like bubble bath bottles, to me. Realistically, this product would be nowhere without the Beckham name attached & millions in free advertising. But keep flogging it as you don’t need it to survive

“Not a chef. Not even a cook! Just playing at trying to be a man but real men don’t treat their families like he does,” another fumed.

Others pleaded with Brooklyn to get in touch with his family, with one writing: “Brooklyn put the games aside get in touch with your Dad & Mum! You know how much they love you.” While another commented: “Reconcile with your family! You will only regret it if anything happens. I lost my mum unexpectedly. Imagine my sadness and guilt. Please do it.”

And some hit back at the brutal comments, with one raging: “Can people just mind their own business and leave the lad alone . We all love David and Victoria that doesn’t give people the right to cyber bully a young man who happens to be their son.”

Another agreed, writing: “So many comments of abuse. How does anyone know they have fallen out? Genuinely confused.”

It comes after sources close to the Beckhams suggested that Brooklyn is known as ‘the hostage’ in his marriage to Nicola following his public video declaring his love for his wife.

The video showed Brooklyn revving a motorbike alongside wife Nicola in Beverly Hills as he wrote: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”

The message appeared to be unmistakably pointed at his family feud. The clip is the first public move either Brooklyn or Nicola has made in relation to the very visible divide within the Beckham family

Earlier this month, the pair were noticeably absent from David’s grand 50th birthday celebrations, snubbing the event entirely – a move that reportedly left the Beckhams not only hurt, but also deeply alarmed.

Those close to the family have now claimed that David and Victoria’s eldest son is being ‘held hostage’ by his wife. “Brooklyn is now being referred to as ‘the hostage.’ He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola and it is heartbreaking,” one insider told Mail Online.

They continued: “Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside. He’s soppy and he’s a romantic, but that video just isn’t him. He hates all of that stuff so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it.”

According to sources, David and Victoria, now 51, have effectively washed their hands of Nicola following what they see as endless tension and detachment since her and Brooklyn’s £3 million wedding in April 2022 at her family’s $76 million Palm Beach estate.

Repeated absences and missed family events have pushed the couple to the conclusion that they are now estranged from their eldest son. Brooklyn and Nicola skipped not just David’s birthday bash, but a series of family moments including a relaxed gathering at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds retreat, a holiday in France, a dinner at upscale London restaurant Core, and even a fishing trip in the Highlands with David and brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19.

Brooklyn also failed to attend a pre-birthday party in Miami at Cipriani in March. His social circle has shifted too as he was once close to Gordon Ramsay’s son Jack and Rocco Ritchie, son of director Guy Ritchie. However, Brooklyn no longer spends time with them either according to reports.

Brooklyn’s drifting relationship with Romeo is widely known but him avoiding his youngest sibling Harper has reportedly struck a painful chord with the family.

In the early days of their relationship, Nicola shared countless sweet posts with Harper, calling her “my little sister” and featuring her often on TikTok and Instagram.

Just hours after Brooklyn’s Instagram declaration, Cruz appeared to respond in his own way, publicly showing his loyalty to their parents. “I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives,” he wrote.

An insider reflected on Brooklyn’s absence: “He and Cruz barely ever argued. And yet they haven’t seen each other in ages. You have to wonder if he isn’t allowed [to see him].”

They continued: “Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside. He’s soppy and he’s a romantic, but that video just isn’t him. He hates all of that stuff so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it.”

According to sources, David and Victoria, now 51, have effectively washed their hands of Nicola following what they see as endless tension and detachment since her and Brooklyn’s £3 million wedding in April 2022 at her family’s $76 million Palm Beach estate.

She’s collected her first jar of honey from her Pickle Cottage bees

Stacey Solomon has shared an emotional milestone with her fans as she introduced a new addition to Pickle Cottage, her very own beehive.

The 35-year-old TV star took to Instagram to reveal that she has taken up beekeeping with her family, describing the experience as “magical” and admitting she feels “emotional” about their first-ever batch of honey.

Stacey Solomon takes up beekeeping at Pickle Cottage

In a heartwarming series of Instagram Stories, Stacey was joined by her three youngest children, Rex, Rose and Belle, as they prepared for the bees’ “moving in day” at their Essex home, affectionately known as Pickle Cottage.

The family, all wearing protective beekeeping suits, excitedly welcomed their new bees.

“And now it’s time to rehome the bees. We are VERY excited,” Stacey wrote alongside a sweet snap of her and her kids posing by the hive.

Sharing videos of the bees swarming into their new hive and her holding the queen bee in a small container, Stacey gushed: “Honestly, today was magical. Seeing the kids, my sister, and Joe feel the joy and awe of seeing the bees was THE BEST! I’m just SO happy we transferred them and they’re safe and sound in their new hive ready to thrive.”

The family also enjoyed a trip to a local garden centre to prepare for the bees’ arrival, where Stacey praised the helpful staff.

“What a beautiful garden centre. I got loads for the bees. The staff were so helpful and knew so much. Which is 100% what I need when I go to the garden centre.”

‘This makes me emotional’

Later, Stacey showed off a jar of fresh honeycomb, her very first Pickle Cottage honey.

Sharing clips of the rehoming process and the leftover honey from the transferred combs, she wrote: “Helen taught us how to re-use the cones they had filled to put them into the new hives & this was the honey left over.”

Reflecting on the experience, Stacey admitted: “Our first ever Pickle Cottage honey. This makes me emotional, and I don’t know why. It just feels so special.”

Stacey’s beekeeping journey is the latest addition to her Pickle Cottage lifestyle.

She and Joe are parents to Rex, Rose, and Belle. Stacey also has sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships.

Joe is also dad to son Harry, 18, from a previous relationship.

Dannii Minogue was mocked by former X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne, and Graham Norton on the Irishman’s show in an interview, which Dannii said ‘tore her to pieces’

Dannii Minogue has reignited her feud with Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton after accusing the pair of ‘tearing her to pieces’ on TV. The Aussie, 53, was mocked on Graham’s BBC chat show in 2007, with former X Factor judge, Sharon, 72, claiming working with Dannii on the iconic ITV talent series was an “odious chore”.

Host, Graham, who has interviewed a number of high-profile stars in his career, claimed the mum-of-one ‘looked bizarre’ while also mocking her accent. Adding further fuel to the fire, Osbourne matriarch, Sharon, stood up and pointed to her behind and said “look at this” when Buffy star, David Boreanaz, asked to see a photo of the Under Pressure star.

Revisiting the uncomfortable scenes on the podcast, How to Fail With Elizabeth Day, Dannii claims the show on BBC “would never be made today”. Claiming the pair had ‘torn her to pieces’, she said she believed Graham had set up the ‘cruel’ questions in advance, saying: “I think the difference was it wasn’t being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done.”

Dannii continued: “I’d loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I’d love her on the Osborne’s. I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today.”

Dannii and Sharon have had a long-running feud ever since they started working on the X Factor together. After Dannii was rumoured to have been dating show boss, Simon Cowell, Sharon told Piers Morgan she couldn’t stand the younger sister of pop superstar, Kylie Minogue.

Graham poked fun at Dannii’s accent(Image: BBC)

Lifting the lid on their fractious relationship on the Life Stories show, she said: “I didn’t hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don’t have that time for her. She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn’t go away.”

Meanwhile, in Sharon’s autobiography Unbreakable, she openly accused Dannii of having it off with Simon. “She had an uppity attitude as she was f***ing the boss,” Sharon wrote. “She clearly felt sh***ing Simon gave her vicarious power and it was so immature, not to mention deeply irritating to deal with.”

Countering, Dannii compared Sharon to a ‘school bully’, writing in her autobiography, Dannii: My Story: “When I sat on the judging panel next to Sharon each Saturday, having seen her publicly destroy me on yet another television show or press interview that week, I felt as if I was back at primary school when I was forced to sit next to the school bully.

“Over the course of the next year, Sharon announced to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with (but never explained why); that I was only on The X Factor because of my looks, not any visible talent or contribution to the entertainment industry; and Simon employed me only because he wanted to sleep with me.”

But, clapping back, Sharon took a direct swipe at Dannii in an interview with Best Magazine a few months later, claiming that the singer had an issue with her due to her strong character – and suggested Dannii is a ‘flirt’ and gets on better with men. “We just have nothing in common,” she swiped, adding: “I love women but there are some who don’t love other women. Dannii didn’t care for me.”

The Mirror has contacted Graham’s reps for comment on this story. Sharon’s rep declined to comment.

Kelly Osbourne’s fans have been left in shock as the star shared glamorous new photos of herself in a recent Instagram post, in which she boasts a very different look

Fans of Kelly Osbourne have all been left saying the same thing in the comments section of a series of new, glamorous snaps shared by the star.

The 40-year-old star, who is set to reunite with her dad Ozzy Osbourne in an upcoming public appearance, posted two photos of herself on her Instagram page to show off her glamorous look after her plans for the day ended up being cancelled. Kelly is seen with bleach blonde locks in the photos, which are scooped back in a sophisticated up do featuring a rock chick inspired quiff.

Kelly’s makeup is simple but effective as she wears a smokey eye-shadow look along with fluttering eyelashes and bold eyeliner along with a nude lip on her plump pout. In the snaps, the daughter of Sharon and Ozzy is wearing a black velvet blazer, which she accessorised with a pair of small drop earrings and a dainty silver chain necklace and pendant.

As the star posted the photos to her Instagram page, Kelly wrote in the caption: “at through glam only to find that my day had been cancelled. #alldressedupandnowheretogo”. Fans were wowed by her unrecognisable appearance, and shared their reaction to the snaps in the comments section of the post.

One wrote: “Gifted a new head for Christmas….” while another quipped Kelly had a “Full head transplant”, remarking at how different the star looks in the photos.

“Is she AI?!,” another asked while a fourth wrote: “Looks complete different than when she was on that show the Osborne’s”. Meanwhile, many were filled with compliments as one said: “Well, this photo alone can last forever. You look beautiful!”

“Your stylist really outdid themselves – you look amazing!,” another remarked.

Kelly has been hit with claims she’s undergone plastic surgery over the years. In September 2023, she doubled down on her denial of ever going under the knife. She told the Daily Mail at the time: “It’s weird, because now that I’ve lost weight, everybody is criticizing and trying to figure out what it is that I’ve done, and I really just lost some weight.”

Kelly then insisted: “It’s just the shape of my face!” Last year it was reported Kelly had lost around six stone in weight and previously hailed diabetes drug, Ozempic, for her weight loss. Ozempic is used to treat type 2 diabetes, with one of the side effects being weight loss.

Speaking on the red carpet for a CBS special in January 2024, Kelly said: “I think it’s amazing! There are a million ways to lose weight. Why not do it through something that isn’t as boring as working out?” However, Kelly’s mum Sharon doesn’t share the same sentiment with the drug.

Sharon has been incredibly vocal about her regrets over using Ozempic, as she’s suffered adverse side effects and struggled to gain weight. Speaking on Howie Mandel’s podcast, Sharon had said: “I can’t put on weight now, and I don’t know what it’s done to my metabolism, but I just can’t seem to put any on, because I think I went too far.” Earlier, in February, the star told The Guardian she had lost “three stone [42 pounds] in four months. Too much.”

The Spice Girls’ accounts show there is still an appetite for their music amid rumours they are set to reunite for a huge world tour

The Spice Girls made more than £600,000 last year from money-spinning record sales – fuelling speculation that there could be a 30th anniversary reunion. Accounts for their firm Spice Girls Ltd show that they received £613, 275 in royalties for 2023.

The firm also retained more than £32,000 in cash in its coffers. Geri Horner and band guru Simon Fuller are said to be back in touch, with rumours the pair were meeting up in Miami earlier this year.

Victoria Beckham has told pals she is “90 percent out of the running” but Geri, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C are said to be considering a lucrative world tour next year. There have even been claims that Victoria could appear as an ‘avatar’, used in the hugely successful Abba shows in London. The Spice Girls’ debut single ‘Wannabe’ was released in 1996 and propelled them to global fame. The latest accounts show there is still an appetite for their music, and suggest a demand to see them in concert.

Mel Brown has hinted that a world tour is possible. They would follow in the footsteps of Beyonce and Taylor Swift, who enjoyed hugely lucrative ticket sales for their shows. Taylor Swift grossed £1.4bn in ticket sales.

Mel, known as Scary Spice, hinted this week that there could be plans on the horizon for the girls.

“We’ve got a year to work on them. Let’s put it that way,” she said. The group has not performed as a five piece since the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony. They did a reunion tour in 2019 without Victoria.

In April last year, all five spent an evening together as part of Victoria’s 50th birthday celebrations. It added to the hopes that they could be set to get back together again.

Band members have spoken openly of that as a possibility for next year. As a guest on Australia ’s 2Day FM in March, Mel C said: “It’s 30 years next year since the release of Wannabe. We have to do something special.

“Obviously I can’t say too much, but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour.”

In April, Geri said: “My hope is we come back together as a collective.”

Geri said they still had love and respect for each other, again sparking hopes of a reunion.

Victoria Beckham is set to follow in her husband’s footsteps with her own Netflix series – as she’s teased an appearance from her children amid Brooklyn’s feud with the family

Victoria Beckham has opened up about her own Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day to day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands.

It comes just over a year after the release of her husbands documentary on the streamer, Beckham, which followed the former Manchester United star’s meteoric rise from humble beginnings to global football stardom.

The documentary was announced by Netflix last year, teasing exclusive access to Victoria, her family, and those closest to her. Now, Victoria has further teased tears – as she reveals her children will be in the documentary following the reported family feud between eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his parents.

Teasing the new series to Bloomberg, Posh Spice said: “There are tears. And it did occur to me the other day, what am I going to think when I see those tears on a huge screen? Or on an iPhone? To be completely honest, I am in the hands of the editor now.”

Just like Victoria made an appearance in David’s documentary, she’s revealed her husband may be returning the favour. “Well, he might end up on the cutting-room floor. I mean, who knows?”

It’s not only David who will pop up on the show, as Victoria revealed her children, who are “a huge part of everything” will make an appearance. “They have filmed a little bit of David and the children because they’re such a huge part of everything,” she continued.

However, Victoria didn’t confirm whether all four children will be shown. It comes after the reported Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s reported feud with the family. Brooklyn has been notably absent from their lives for months after reports.

Tensions have been rife in the Beckham and Peltz families in recent months as their relationship continues to become strained. Earlier this week, Brooklyn made his feelings crystal clear amid his ongoing feud with his family in a cutting Instagram post.

In the video, he vowed he will “always choose” his wife Nicola after claims that she has been the catalyst behind the mass fall out.

Alongside a video of himself and his wife riding on a motorcycle, Brooklyn wrote: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”

It comes after the couple skipped David’s 50th birthday celebrations both in Miami and London. Not only that, they also stayed silent on social media during both David and Victoria’s big days.

A pal of the Beckham family recently said it was “disappointing but unsurprising” if Brooklyn’s recent Instagram post was meant as a dig at his family – as they laid the blame at his wife.

Dept. Q is arriving on Netflix today, with Downton Abbey’s Matthew Goode starring as an arrogant detective who must lead a team of misfits in cracking an Edinburgh cold case

Dept Q lands on Netflix tonight(Image: AP)

Brand new crime drama Dept. Q is landing tonight (Thursday 29 May) on Netflix – with Downton Abbey’s Matthew Goode starring in this adaptation of a Nordic hit. Based on the book series by Jussi Adler-Olsen, which has been adapted into numerous Danish films, the new series follows a detective as he’s tasked with opening a cold case unit after leading an investigation that went horribly wrong.

With the likes of Line of Duty’s Kelly Macdonald, The Game’s Chloe Pirrie and Harry Potter’s Shirley Henderson taking on roles in this new Netflix offering, the nine-part thriller will give crime fans something to dig their teeth into this evening.

Pick of the Day

Dept. Q, Netflix

Downton Abbey actor Matthew Goode stars as a bristly detective in this new crime drama, adapted from a successful series of Danish novels. The action has been translated from Copenhagen to Edinburgh, where we meet DCI Carl Morck (Goode), a gifted crime solver, whose arrogance has got the better of him.

Morck and his partner made the mistake of visiting a murder scene that wasn’t ever assigned to them. After belittling the uniformed officers holding the fort there, they examined the body, without realising that the killer was lurking in the shadows. As a result, a young copper died on the job, and Morck’s partner was left paralysed. Morck managed to make a physical recovery, but is haunted by every detail of that day and determined to seek justice.

When he returns to the station, his whispering colleagues don’t want to talk to him and getting back to work isn’t as easy as he’d hoped. His boss is under pressure to improve the public image of the force, and is strongarmed into opening a cold case unit, called Department Q. It’s a PR exercise rather than a legitimate new arm of the force, and much like Slough House in Apple TV’s hit Slow Horses, this is somewhere to shove employees who have fallen out of favour. It’s the perfect assignment for Morck – he may be unpopular, but his intellectual brilliance and unique approach could solve a few impossible cases. Also starring Kelly McDonald as Morck’s spiky therapist, Dr Rachel Irving.

Britain Under The Nazis: The Forgotten Occupation, Channel 4, 8pm

Marking the 80 ^th anniversary of the liberation of the Channel Islands, this documentary tells the story of the Brits who lived under Nazi occupation during World War 2. With actors bringing to life memoirs, diary entries and letters, we hear the voices of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney residents who were stunned when German soldiers moved onto their islands in 1940. A feather in Hitler’s cap, and a source of embarrassment for Churchill, these British territories were left undefended, and nobody quite knew what would happen next. Some anticipated the horrors to come and fled, but for those left behind they needed to decide whether to collaborate with their new neighbours or stage their own acts of resistance. With the local press under censorship, and a thick atmosphere of fear and suspicion, individual acts of courage shone through the darkness. Featuring analysis from historians, this programme is a chance to celebrate forgotten heroes.

Eamonn Holmes sparked an outpouring of concern after he fell off his chair live on air on GB News – after he’d also been taken to hospital earlier in the month after a fall at home

Eamonn Holmes has issued a heartbreaking health update days after falling off his chair live on GB News. The presenter, 65, was also taken to hospital earlier in the month after he had a fall at his home and had to ring an ambulance for help.

Sharing his dismay at his ongoing issues, Eamonn took to social media to share a picture of himself looking healthy and sprightly from just three years ago. The presenter said it ‘made him sad’ to see his decline as he told fans: “I could walk then.” In a bid to stay positive, Eamonn added that he was motivated to “redouble my efforts.”

The presenter has been working hard on his rehabilitation after undergoing spinal surgery in 2022 for chronic back pain caused by three slipped discs. Over the last year he has been seen using a walking aid and a wheelchair as his mobility has become effected.

Just last week, Eamonn sparked concern from fans when he took a tumble from his seat while presenting the GB News Breakfast show. During his Wednesday show, with his co-host Ellie Costello, a crash could be heard while the camera was focused on their guest, commentator Charlie Rowley.

Costello could be heard saying “oh my gosh” off-screen, and Holmes pleaded with Rowley to “carry on” before the presenter returned to the show following a break.

Holmes said: “Welcome back. Good to see you again. Especially good for me to see you again. I am still alive, yes.

“And they’re very wonky wheels on chairs that we’ve got here, and matter of fact, we don’t really like the chairs full stop, do we? They’re a bit slippy and slidey and I’ve slipped and slid off mine there.

“Not the first guest to have done so, we’ve had a few, they have to remain nameless because they’re well known people, but they’ve hit the floor really badly, quite frightening.

“And it was a bit of a shock for me because I’ve had a fall in my bathroom two weeks ago, which hospitalised me, and that hit me again right in the back. (I’m) really, really sore. Really sore.”

He later said the chair “gave way” which meant he was lying flat on his back. He added: “As the morning goes on, you feel aches and pains. The worst thing about this, of course, this was at a time when I was hospitalised two weeks ago for a very similar fall in the same area, back of the head, my neck, my shoulders. So it all came back, as it were.”

On X, formerly Twitter, Rowley wrote: “@EamonnHolmes YOU are the real hero for carrying on this morning. A true professional and National Treasure who I learn from each and every week. It’s a privilege working with you, @elliecostelloTV and the rest of the @GBNEWS family. Take care!”.

On May 2, in an Instagram post that included a photo from the inside of an ambulance, Holmes thanked the crew who had helped him after he fell on his bathroom floor. Eamonn said he was lucky to have his phone within reach and was able to call for an ambulance.

The former This Morning host has long battled health issues after dislodging discs in his back which he said previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg.

He has spoken about going through spinal surgery, a double hip replacement, and his struggles walking and using a mobility scooter.

Last year, Holmes and his wife Ruth Langsford announced their split, after tying the knot in 2010.

Eamonn revealed in 2022 that his health problems caused issues in his marriage to then wife, Loose Women star Ruth Langsford.

“Even my own family are bored of my moaning,” he said. “It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”

Following his split from Ruth, Eamonn has moved on and is now dating marriage counsellor Katie Alexander, 43. The pair posed for their first social media pictures together earlier this month. Katie posed for cosy selfies with Holmes, who was in a wheelchair, and her dog Dottie in the clip, which was captioned: “Lovely weather… lovely company.”

Emmerdale has aired the full return for Robert Sugden after Ryan Hawley reprised his role as one half of ‘Robron’ after six years away from the soap – and it was everything we dreamed of

Did I ever think I’d be writing about a Robert Sugden return in 2025? Absolutely not.

Emmerdale pulled off the biggest soap surprise when Ryan Hawley reprised his role after six years. There was everything from, codenames on set – Marco, Aaron’s Italian boyfriend from his travels – and secret entrances to ensure the news didn’t get out.

Even a potential leak didn’t reveal all about Robert’s return. What was described as a brief stint – and certainly framed that way – had everyone thinking Robert would just be another of John Sugden’s nightmares.

But Robert is here to stay. Ryan confirmed to The Mirror exclusively that his stay in the Dales would not be a brief one, not a passing moment, but for an extended period – leaving Robron fans, no doubt, overjoyed.

Ryan told us: “The secret is out today! My character is returning permanently and not just for Aaron and John’s wedding. I am back for good, and I am so excited to be playing Robert again.

“I have had a few calls over the past six years to see how I would feel about reprising the role, but it never felt quite right. Recently, while I was living in Brazil with my family, where we had been for the past year, Danny texted to see how I would feel. We’ve always kept in touch, and after a lot of thought, I told him, ‘Yeah, I am up for it.’ I then got a call swiftly from the producers, and it went from there. The timing felt right for us to not only move back to Britain, but also for me to come back to Emmerdale. Enough time has passed, and with this big wedding storyline, it is the right time for Robert to cause chaos and huge drama!”

Never has a soap pulled off such a cleverly kept secret. It will be something that will be spoken about for a long time amongst soap fans, as the speculation continues to grow about Robert’s true intentions and just why he is back.

Robron understandably means everything to the fans of Emmerdale, a storyline – a couple – that was cut way too short before its time. And now, there is the potential for them to finally rekindle things, but will it go back to how it was?

It remains to be seen whether Aaron will choose John for all his flaws or whether Robert will steal his heart once more. However, it ends – Aaron has a big choice to make but maybe it’s best we leave this with Robert’s words?

“I’m not asking you to choose me, I’m asking you to choose us”. And isn’t that how all great love stories truly begin…

Coronation Street fans are desperate for Lisa Swain and Carla Connor to tie the knot – and actress Vicky Myers addressed the possibility during an interview on This Morning

It’s the question on every Coronation Street fan’s mind – are Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain ever going to tie the knot? The couple have fast become the soaps most loved pairing, with Vicky Myers and Alison King awarded a nomination for Best On-Screen Partnership during this year’s British Soap Awards.

This week, This Morning’s Sharon Marshall has been touring soap sets across the country, and today she stopped off in Weatherfield to chat to Vicky Myers and Calum Lil, who played Joel Deering until his character’s death earlier this year.

Giving the fans what they want, Sharon was quick to ask Vicky whether a Swarla wedding would be on the cards anytime soon. In recent episodes, Lisa proposed to Carla after a difficult day in Weatherfield following news of PC Craig Tinker’s death at the hands of villain Mick Michaelis.

Vicky Myers spoke about the possibility of a Swarla wedding on This Morning

While grieving the death of Craig at home, told Carla: “Why do we put off things we really want cos we think there’s more time?” Telling Carla there wasn’t always more time, she shared how both Craig and her former wife Becky would have had no idea that their time would run out.

Lisa then asked Carla to marry her, and although Carla didn’t say yes, she didn’t say no either. She told Lisa it will happen one day (in Ibizia), just not yet. The couple made their relationship official around Christmas time meaning they’ve only been together around six months.

Desperate to know what’s next for the couple, soap expert Sharon Marshall asked Vicky: “There was a proposal. She didn’t say no, but she didn’t exactly say yes. Is there a wedding coming up?”

Vicky, who didn’t shut down the possibility responded: “It’s definitely love. For Lisa definitely, Carla’s her soulmate. I think it would be very nice if we all packed our bags and went to Ibiza what do you think?”

Of course, Sharon was down for the trip, as was Calum Lill, however, it may prove quite difficult seeing as his character Joel Deering is long gone.

Following his exit, Calum is up for Best Villain during the British Soap Awards, as he goes up against Navin Chowdhry (Nish Panesar, EastEnders), Ned Porteous (Joe Tate, Emmerdale) and Tyler Conti (Abe Fielding, Hollyoaks).

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
