David and Victoria Beckham UNFOLLOW estranged son Brooklyn, 26, as it’s revealed he’ll spend Christmas with wife Nicola Peltz’s billionaire parents amid family feud

David Victoria Beckham are no longer following their estranged son Brooklyn on Instagram after it was revealed he would be spending Christmas with wife Nicola Peltz‘s family.

The devastated parents, who are said to be feeling their eldest son’s absence more than ever as Christmas looms, have removed him from their following list.

Brooklyn, 26, is also no longer following his mother and father on the picture-based sharing platform.

It is the most public sign yet that there has is no communication between them amid their spiraling family feud.

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria. They no longer follow her either.

The move comes after Brooklyn’s friends told Daily Mail in July that his brothers Cruz and Romeo had blocked both him and his wife Nicola on the social media platform.

Brooklyn, 26, is also no longer following his mother and father on the picture-based sharing platform

Daily Mail exclusively revealed how Brooklyn has snubbed his family’s attempts at reconciliation in the run up to the festive period as he will spend this Christmas with Nicola and her family in Miami, Florida.

A source said: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them.’

Brooklyn and Nicola arrived in Miami earlier this week, with the hot sauce owner posing for a picture with her brother Bradley in the back garden of the incredible Palm Beach mansion.

His decision to spend Christmas with his in-laws will come as a blow to his parents and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14.

In recent weeks, David has appeared to offer a public olive branch to his son, in an apparent bid to put an end to their very public family feud.

The former footballer had shared a throwback picture of himself with Brooklyn and his younger brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20.

Cruz also made sure his brother knew he was thinking of him by sharing a sweet snap of the pair with brother Romeo on the beach in Brazil.

Brooklyn was seen wrapping his arm around his youngest brother Cruz as they posed on the beach.

Relations between Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckham clan unraveled completely when they did not attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s knighthood in November.

Last week, Daily Mail revealed how Brooklyn’s nans are devastated they won’t be seeing their grandson this Christmas.

Victoria had shared a festive picture from her parents Jackie and Tony Adams’ house as they placed twelve stockings in a row on their fireplace, one for each grandchild. In pride of place was one reserved for Brooklyn.

The family feud has taken a particularly acute toll on Jackie, as well as David’s mother Sandra.

Some argue that hanging up Brooklyn’s stocking, regardless of the feud, is a sign of hope on Jackie’s part that – somehow, despite everything – Christmas might finally persuade her grandson to put aside his grudges and step on a plane to rejoin the family.

Friends of the Beckhams say Jackie and Sandra are ‘extremely sad’ about the situation.

The source added: ‘They’re not getting any younger and the cold truth of it all is that nobody knows when they will see Brooklyn next. It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for.’

David and Victoria will spend some of the festive period in the £60million home they recently bought on Miami’s waterfront.

It was where they were joined last year by Brooklyn and Nicola, and photographs

of their Christmas celebrations show everyone having what appeared to be a lovely time.

Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper, 14.

They said: ‘Hi everybody! We did it!

‘We can’t, I honestly, we can’t believe it, but we just want to say thank you so, so much for all your support, all your votes, all your kind words, it means everything to me and Carlos.

‘So thank you. Thank you so much.’

Before the result was announced, Tess and Claudia received a special tribute VT after this year’s series highlights were aired.

However, they were left blown away as Craig Revel Horwood read out a special letter from Her Majesty The Queen.

It said: ‘Tess and Claudia, as you prepare to take your final twirl, I just want to say thank you on behalf of the millions who watch you each week.

‘I have often thought that Strictly is not so much a show about dancing as about friendships, the bonds forged, the struggles overcome, and the joy shared in undertaking a joint endeavour.

‘If that is true, then perhaps yours has been the greatest strictly partnership of all. The warmth, compassion, and sheer happiness you have radiated with and from each other has been at the heart

‘I think I speak for everyone when I say you have been utterly fabulous. I wish you both every success in wherever life’s journey takes you next, but as one who has appreciated its lifelong benefits, do promise us one thing, keep dancing.

‘With the warmest gratitude and admiration, Her Royal Highness, Queen Camilla.’

The show had opened as Claudia wore her trademark black jacket with a white blouse and revealed how ‘keep dancing’ had been stitched onto the back – a nod to her and Tess’ famous slogan.

Tess opted for a stunning rose-gold sequined dress that featured a daring thigh-high slit and shoulderless design.

The pair emotionally said: ‘Thanks to our cast and choreographer Jason Gilkison for that spectacular opening to the show, and thank you for joining us for one glorious last night in the ballroom.

‘Back in September, 15 celebrities took to the dance floor, and after one. Of our most exciting competitions ever, just three remain.

‘Amber, George, and Karen are your finalists, and tonight you decide who will be crowned strictly champions.’

Amber opened the show with her pro partner Nikita, performing a Paso Doble that was picked by head judge Shirley Ballas.

Following the dance, to Dream On by Aerosmith, the judges gave the couple 39 out of 40 – with Craig Revel Horwood’s nine stopping them from achieving a perfect score.

Up next was George and Alexis and their Viennese Waltz, dancing to Queen’s Somebody to Love.

Their judges’ choice was picked by Anton Du Beke.

Just like his scoring with Amber, Craig was reluctant to award a 10, despite Mosti, Shirley and Anton dishing out 10s so far. With Craig’s nine, George’s judges’ choice was scored 39 out of 40.

“He Didn’t Win the Crown… But He Won the Room”: Tom Read Wilson Lands Major ITV Role Just Days After Leaving the Jungle

Tom Read Wilson may have missed out on being crowned King of the Jungle —
but just 72 hours after stepping out of camp, he has secured something even bigger:
a brand-new presenting role on ITV’s This Morning.

And according to insiders, ITV bosses didn’t just invite him…
they chased him.

 A New Star Is Born on Daytime TV

Viewers fell in love with Tom’s warmth, poetic charm and soothing voice during I’m A Celebrity 2025, and now ITV has snapped him up faster than any finalist this season — even faster than new Jungle King AngryGinge.

On Thursday morning, Tom appeared on This Morning’s famous sofa, not as a guest… but in his debut as the show’s new “Agony Uncle”, answering viewers’ dilemmas in the emotional run-up to Christmas.

And he absolutely nailed it.

Ben Shephard told him:
“In camp, you were the person everyone went to. You were born for this.”

Tom blushed — then proved them right.

 Tom’s Advice Goes Viral

When a viewer asked whether he should confess a crush at the office Christmas party, Tom delivered a line that instantly trended on X:

“Sow the seeds before the wine does it for you.”

Cat and Ben burst out laughing — and then offered him the job on air.

“Would you come back?”
Tom didn’t hesitate.
“I would absolutely love to.”

Just like that… a new daytime star was made.

The TV presenter, 39, was reportedly headhunted by ITV bosses shortly after finishing as runner-up behind new King of the Jungle AngryGinge (L-R Tom, AngryGinge, and Shona McGarty)

 From Late Arrival to Final Two: The Tom Effect

Tom entered the jungle as a late arrival, an unknown quantity among fan favourites — but within days, he became one of the most popular campmates of the entire season.

His gentle nature.
His ability to listen.
His hilarious turns of phrase (“I try to be a shoulder… and a bosom”).
His emotional honesty.

He didn’t just compete.
He connected.

And fans reacted — HARD.

The finale received over 13 million votes, the highest in at least a decade, with many insisting Tom was the true winner.

 Fans Are Still Furious He Didn’t Win

Social media hasn’t calmed down since:

“Tom should’ve won. Full stop.”

“Ginge has TikTok fans — Tom had the nation.”

“I’m not watching next year. Justice for Tom.”

But while the Jungle crown went elsewhere, the careers crown is clearly Tom’s.

 “I Shared More in That Jungle Than I Have in Years”

Speaking on ITV2’s Unpacked, Tom opened up about the intensity of camp life:

“If you add up the waking hours, I spent more time with these people than with my own loved ones this year.”

And in true Tom fashion, he described himself as:
Best fashion retailers
“Disbosoming everything — I surprised even myself.”

 The Future Looks Golden for Tom Read Wilson

He may have walked out of the jungle without a crown,
but he walked straight into a primetime job, a national fanbase,
and a brand-new chapter on one of the UK’s biggest TV shows.

Sometimes you don’t need to win the game
to win the nation.

Emmerdale SHOCK: April meets a man named Tim, and instead of trying to “touch her,” he hands her a phone: “Someone wants to see you, but once you leave this room, you can’t tell Ceila or Ray.”

 

In a shocking twist on Emmerdale, April encounters a mysterious man named Tim who hands her a phone with a cryptic message. As the drama unfolds, she learns that someone wants to see her, but she must keep it a secret from Ceila and Ray. Discover the implications of this encounter and what it means for April’s future in the village.

The world of Emmerdale is no stranger to unexpected twists and turns, but the latest development involving April has left fans both intrigued and concerned. In a shocking encounter, April meets a man named Tim, who presents her with a phone and a cryptic message: “Someone wants to see you, but once you leave this room, you can’t tell Ceila or Ray.” This moment raises numerous questions about April’s future and the potential consequences of her actions.

The Mysterious Encounter: What Does Tim Want?

April’s meeting with Tim is shrouded in mystery. Who is this man, and what does he want with her? As viewers, we are left to speculate about the intentions behind his sudden appearance. Tim’s demeanor suggests that he is not just an ordinary villager; there is an air of secrecy surrounding him. The fact that he instructs April not to inform Ceila or Ray adds another layer of intrigue to the situation.

The implications of this encounter could be far-reaching. Is Tim a friend or foe? What kind of information does he possess that is so critical that it must be kept from Ceila and Ray? As the plot thickens, fans are eager to see how April will navigate this unexpected twist in her life.

The Impact on April’s Relationships

April’s relationships with Ceila and Ray have always been central to her character development. Ceila, who has been a guiding figure in April’s life, may feel betrayed if she discovers that April has kept such a significant secret from her. Similarly, Ray, who has been protective of April, might react negatively to the news that she has been in contact with a stranger.

This situation places April in a difficult position. On one hand, she may feel compelled to explore the connection with Tim and the potential information he holds. On the other hand, the risk of alienating those she cares about could weigh heavily on her mind. The tension between her curiosity and her loyalty to Ceila and Ray is sure to create compelling drama in upcoming episodes.

As viewers, we can only speculate on how this storyline will unfold. Will April choose to confide in Ceila and Ray, or will she keep the secret to herself, leading to further complications? The choices she makes will undoubtedly shape her character arc and the dynamics of her relationships within the village.

What Lies Ahead for April in Emmerdale?

The revelation that someone wants to see April opens up numerous possibilities for her character. It could lead to new friendships, alliances, or even adversaries. The mystery surrounding Tim and the phone call could be a catalyst for significant changes in April’s life, pushing her to confront her fears and take risks she might not have considered before.

Moreover, this encounter could serve as a pivotal moment for April’s growth. As she navigates the complexities of trust and secrecy, viewers may witness her transformation from a sheltered young girl into a more independent and assertive individual. The choices she makes in the wake of this encounter will define her journey in Emmerdale.

The writers have a unique opportunity to explore themes of trust, loyalty, and the consequences of keeping secrets. As the story unfolds, fans will be eagerly watching to see how April’s character evolves and how her relationships are tested.

Fan Reactions and Speculations

As with any major plot twist in Emmerdale, fan reactions have been varied and passionate. Social media platforms are buzzing with theories and speculations about Tim’s true identity and his intentions. Some fans believe he may be a long-lost relative or someone connected to April’s past, while others suspect he could be a villain with ulterior motives.

The excitement surrounding this storyline has reignited discussions about the importance of character development in soap operas. Viewers are invested in April’s journey and are eager to see how her encounter with Tim will shape her future. The unpredictability of the plot keeps fans engaged and eagerly awaiting each new episode.

Conclusion

April’s shocking encounter with Tim in Emmerdale has set the stage for a thrilling storyline filled with suspense, intrigue, and emotional depth. As she grapples with the implications of this meeting, viewers are left wondering what lies ahead for her character. Will she choose to keep the secret from Ceila and Ray, or will she confide in them? The choices she makes will undoubtedly have lasting effects on her relationships and her personal growth.

Emmerdale rocked at Christmas as Celia’s wicked escape plan is revealed — “Celia doesn’t mark Christmas,” she declares, ready to sacrifice everything as her criminal empire collapses

Emmerdale Star Confirms Wicked and Game-Changing Celia Plan for Christmas

Christmas in Emmerdale is rarely a season of goodwill, but this year the festive fallout is set to be darker, more dangerous, and more explosive than ever. At the centre of the storm is Celia, a character who has spent months hiding monstrous crimes behind the mask of a tough, respectable farmer. Now, as the walls close in and the truth threatens to spill out, Celia is preparing a final, ruthless move—one that could change everything for the village and mark her last chapter in the Dales.

Since her arrival, Celia has presented herself as blunt, no-nonsense, and hard-working. To the casual observer, she is simply another farmer trying to survive in a tough rural economy. But viewers know the horrifying reality. Behind closed doors at Butler’s Farm, Celia has been running a calculated operation built on fear, exploitation, and control. Vulnerable people have been trapped in modern slavery, their lives reduced to tools in Celia’s profit-driven empire. With the help of her son, Ray, she has orchestrated suffering on an industrial scale—cold, methodical, and utterly remorseless.

That empire, however, is now beginning to collapse.

The police are closing in, suspicions are mounting across the village, and Celia knows that time is running out. Christmas, traditionally a period of reflection and family, represents something very different for her: a deadline. If she does not act soon, this could be her last Christmas as a free woman.

Actor Jay Griffiths, who joined Emmerdale in late June 2025, has already confirmed her departure from the soap, signalling that Celia’s storyline is racing toward a dramatic conclusion. The question gripping fans is not whether Celia will leave the village, but how—and whether she will escape with her life and freedom intact.

Speaking about Celia’s mindset as the festive season approaches, Griffiths makes one thing clear: this is not a woman capable of nostalgia or sentimentality. Celia “doesn’t mark Christmas” at all. There are no decorations, no traditions, and certainly no warmth. This year, instead of celebration, she is planning an exit.

For Celia, the Dales have become too dangerous. Too many people are asking questions, too many threads are unravelling at once. April’s family, in particular, have become a major irritant—one she no longer has the patience or time to deal with. Meanwhile, her criminal operations are facing scrutiny from multiple directions, turning what was once a tightly controlled business into a liability.

Moira Dingle has emerged as one of Celia’s most immediate threats. Sharp, perceptive, and unwilling to be intimidated, Moira’s suspicions were first raised when she uncovered fraudulent invoices linked to Butler’s Farm. What began as a financial irregularity has grown into something far more dangerous, with Moira increasingly convinced that Celia is hiding something serious. Every question Moira asks tightens the noose, and Celia knows it.

Then there is Marlon, whose determination to protect April has put him on a collision course with Celia and Ray. Marlon will not stop until April is free from the county lines drug dealing that Ray groomed her into. His relentless pursuit of the truth threatens to expose the full scale of their crimes, drawing attention from both the authorities and the wider community.

And looming over everything is the risk that Paddy will discover the horrifying truth about his own father—kept as a slave on Butler’s Farm. If that secret comes out, it will ignite outrage unlike anything Celia has faced before. An angry village, combined with police pressure, could turn deadly. Fleeing the area may be the only option left.

Celia’s plan, then, is simple in concept but brutal in execution: disappear. Find another farm, in another location, and start again. It is heavily implied that this is not the first time Celia and Ray have done this. Their operation is mobile by design—exploit, extract profit, vanish, repeat. For Celia, people and places are disposable. Survival is all that matters.

But this time, there is a complication Celia did not anticipate.

The greatest threat to her escape plan comes not from the police or the villagers, but from the only person she trusts: her son. Ray has fallen in love.

Ray’s relationship with Laurel has introduced an unexpected emotional fracture into Celia’s carefully controlled world. Laurel, widely regarded as one of the kindest and most genuine people in the village, represents everything Celia despises—softness, empathy, and moral integrity. Yet Ray’s feelings for her are real, and through him, viewers have glimpsed a softer, conflicted side to a man previously defined by cruelty and manipulation.

This emotional connection threatens everything. Love makes Ray unpredictable. It makes him hesitant. And hesitation is something Celia cannot afford.

Celia’s response is chillingly practical. Rather than confront Ray’s feelings, she plans to remove him from the situation entirely by relocating their operation. Distance, she believes, will sever his attachment and restore control. It is a solution rooted in her belief that emotions are weaknesses to be eliminated, not understood.

What makes this even more unsettling is Celia’s history. This is a woman who has already demonstrated that loyalty—even to family—means nothing when self-preservation is at stake. A violent confrontation has been confirmed for the new year, and Celia’s capacity for cruelty is well established. The idea that she might sacrifice her own son to save herself does not feel far-fetched—it feels inevitable.

As Christmas approaches, tension builds on every front. The village edges closer to the truth, Ray’s loyalty wavers, and Celia becomes increasingly cornered. Her plan to flee may be bold, but it is also desperate, and desperation often leads to mistakes.

Will Ray choose love over loyalty? Will Laurel discover the truth before it is too late? And will Celia manage to escape the Dales, or will her crimes finally catch up with her in a spectacular downfall?

What is certain is that Emmerdale is setting the stage for a festive storyline that is anything but comforting. This is Christmas as a battleground—a final stand for one of the soap’s most chilling villains. As alliances fracture and secrets explode into the open, Celia’s great escape promises to be wicked, game-changing, and unforgettable.

Whether she runs, falls, or drags others down with her, Celia’s reign of exploitation is coming to an end. The only question left is how much damage she will cause before the curtain finally falls.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s ultimate humiliation: Epstein’s sex trafficker girlfriend poses in outrageous outfits and exposes herself in dozens of photos released from the billionaire paedophile’s files

From wrestling on a sofa to frolicking with celebrities and pulling suggestive poses, Ghislaine Maxwell portrays the ultimate life of frivolity with her paedophile financier boyfriend, newly-released photographs from the Epstein files show.

In one, smirking Maxwell – who is currently serving 20 years for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein – can be seen wrestling on a sofa with French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel.

The close associate of the late US financier was later arrested on suspicion of raping  and trafficking minors, before being found hanged in his prison cell in Paris, France, in 2022.

Photographs of Maxwell and Brunel show them apparently lying on top of a fur coat or blanket and engaged in a playful tussle, resulting in her stomach becoming exposed.

In another more explicit photograph, Maxwell pulls down her white vest top and exposing her chest, while another individual out of shot places their foot between her cleavage.

A series of photographs goes on to show Maxwell frolicking with celebrity magician David Copperfield, with the pair appearing to be dressed only in white towelling robes.

In one image, the 63-year-old poses in front of Copperfield with the pair entwining their arms around one another, while in another, the famed illusionist lifts his leg around Maxwell’s waist, as the convicted sex trafficker laughs for the camera.

Evidence of Maxwell’s pampered life with the paedophile billionaire can be seen as she poses from behind the wheel of a luxury sports car while appearing to be wearing little other than a white silk robe.

A second, which appears to have been taken in France, shows an adoring Maxwell leaning in to kiss Epstein on the cheek. He looks straight on rather than at his partner.

Elsewhere, Maxwell can be seen posing in an ostentatious red hat with feathers while pulling a suggestive pose.

Among the newest photographs, Maxwell can also be seen right outside the door of the Prime Minister’s office at 10 Downing Street, London. The context in which the picture was taken is unknown, as is the date of the photograph.

The latest released images come as Maxwell formally asked a federal court to throw out her sex trafficking conviction on Wednesday, just 48 hours before the Epstein files were expected to be published.

Maxwell claimed ‘substantial new evidence has emerged’ which shows she did not receive a fair trial, according to the filing reviewed by ABC News.

Maxwell wrote: ‘This newly available evidence – derived from litigation against the Federal Bureau of Investigation, various financial institutions, and the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as from sworn depositions, released records, and other verified sources – shows that exculpatory information was withheld, false testimony presented, and material facts misrepresented to the jury and the Court.’

The disgraced socialite’s last-ditch effort, submitted without an attorney, comes after she has exhausted all of her direct legal appeals.

Hundreds of thousands of documents, including court records, footage and images, were uploaded on Friday night to the US Department of Justice website, which held users in a queue as it experienced an ‘extremely high volume of search requests’.

The trove includes images from Epstein’s homes, including rooms adorned with nude photographs and distinctive bright blue carpeting. However, the DOJ did not provide any context for the images of people included in the files.

Some records detail Epstein’s associations with high-profile figures such as Michael Jackson, Sir Mick Jagger, Kevin Spacey and other famous individuals.

Former president Bill Clinton features prominently in the files, appearing in photographs smiling at parties and swimming with women. He has since issued a blistering response, denying having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

More than 600,000 pages related to the pedophile have now been released this year, prompting the Trump administration to describe itself as the ‘most transparent in history’ following Friday’s disclosure.

The data dump came after US deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said ‘several hundred thousand’ documents from the so-called ‘Epstein files’ would be released ahead of a legal deadline, but the need to protect the sex offender’s victims meant thousands more would be released over the coming weeks.

US President Donald Trump signed the legislation last month to ensure the release of the files, despite previously resisting disclosure and claiming the issue was a ‘Democrat hoax’.

The paedophile financier Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.

The law has some exemptions tied to it, including allowing Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold certain records if their publication could interfere with an active prosecution or criminal investigations.

Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 after prosecutors presented evidence that she procured girls as young as 14 for abuse by Epstein. She is serving a 20-year sentence in Florida.

Vicky Pattison is engaged (again!) as husband Ercan Ramadan surprises her with a huge diamond ring – after her £200k rock was stolen

 

 

Vicky Pattison has revealed her husband Ercan Ramadan has surprised her with a dazzling new engagement ring.

The former Geordie Shore star, 38, married Ercan, 32, at London’s Marylebone Town Hall in August 2024 before they continued their celebrations a few months later with a big Italian party in Puglia.

But the Strictly star, who first got engaged in 2022, was left devastated after her stunning emerald cut diamond ring, estimated to have cost around £200,000, was stolen just weeks before her wedding.

The emerald cut diamond ring was inside a bag which was stolen off a train in her native Newcastle.

Four wedding dresses, two weddings and a whole year married later – Vicky has finally got a dazzling, big rock back on her finger.

She wrote in an Instagram post on Friday: ‘Christmas came early in our house… ✨

‘It’s been a mad old year and I couldn’t have got through it without my incredible husband and having him by my side through the highs and the lows has made everything just that little bit better!

‘Tonight, at home, in our pjs with the dogs we had a cute little surprise date night and @ercan_ram gave me the most beautiful new engagement ring and wedding ring.

‘As some of you may know mine got stolen just before our wedding and this gesture has absolutely made my year! And he got it in a new colour way too! It’s so perfect! I love you so much and I would choose you in this life, and the next.’

The former Queen of the I’m A Celeb Jungle has described her Italian wedding as the most ‘special’ and ‘magical’ day of her life.

She was thankful to be stress-free walking down the aisle, which the star thought was unlikely a week before the life changing day.

Vicky has previously spoken openly about suffering from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a mood disorder that causes severe emotional and physical symptoms before a woman’s period.

And in the run-up to her wedding, Vicky admitted to feeling ‘depressed’, ‘anxious’ and ‘self-critical’ as she approached the celebration.

After overcoming her PMDD and focusing on her new life ahead, Vicky says she felt calm and was rid of her ‘usual anxieties’.

She added: ‘I wasn’t nervous at all. I have spent a lot of this year a bit stressed and I was so worried I’d ruin the wedding week for myself by just being in my own head and panicking about little things that really didn’t matter.

‘But in all honesty, I have never felt so calm about everything. I suppose I just knew I was doing the right thing for me, with the right person surrounded by all my favourite people. That feeling was special and just overrode any of my usual anxieties.’

Vicky and Ercan met after being introduced by mutual friends and started planning their wedding following their Dubai engagement in 2022.

After dreaming of wearing a white gown since childhood, Vicky knew she wanted as many elaborate dresses as possible.

And she succeeded after saying her vows wearing a long-sleeved lace gown from Leah Da Gloria before changing into a shimmery gold dress which accentuated her curvaceous figure by Kyha Studios for her first dance.

Ahead of the ceremony, Vicky and Ercan hosted their guests at a welcome dinner, where the bride wore a Vivienne Westwood gown, which delicately draped on her shoulders and highlighted her bronzed décolletage.

She danced the night away wearing a statement flower dress from Nicole + Felicia Couture, putting her hair up to allow room for hours of partying.

Vicky told Daily Mail: ‘Ever since I was little I would hang a pillow case off the back of my head and pretend I was getting married.

‘I’ve always dreamed about being a bride. As I got older, that dream sort of changed and I wanted to be loved and have a nice, healthy relationship with a lovely man.

‘But I’d be lying if I said my Italian adventure wasn’t a young Vicky’s dream. And every dress was so different including my London one… it felt like I ticked every single box.’

Emmerdale TV series: When pain, guilt, and anger collide.

 

Emmerdale has never shied away from exploring the darkest corners of human control and emotional survival, but this chapter marks a chilling new high point. In an episode heavy with rain, regret, and long-suppressed truth, the ITV soap delivers a powerful meditation on power, abuse, and the quiet courage it takes to finally say no. At the centre of it all are Celia Walters, her long-suffering ward Ry, and a broken labourer known as Bear — three lives bound together by fear, silence, and the slow erosion of compassion.

For weeks, viewers have watched Celia tighten her grip on Ry’s life, particularly as his feelings for Laurel Thomas have deepened. Laurel represents everything Celia despises: warmth, independence, and the possibility of a future Ry might choose for himself. Determined to destroy that possibility, Celia has worked with ruthless precision, undermining Ry’s confidence and poisoning Laurel’s perception of him. Her manipulation is subtle but devastating — a well-placed comment here, a strategic humiliation there — all designed to remind Ry of his “place.”

Celia’s cruelty is not loud. It is measured, elegant, and all the more terrifying for it. She belittles Ry not in fits of rage, but with calm certainty, stripping away his sense of worth until he begins to believe her version of himself: small, dirty, undeserving of love. Yet this episode signals a shift. For the first time, Ry begins to see the pattern clearly. Celia is not protecting him. She is consuming him.

 

 

When Bear suffers a serious hand injury at work, Celia’s response is chillingly familiar. She orders Ry to bandage it and send him straight back to the fields, dismissing the blood and pain as inconveniences to her schedule. In the past, Ry would have obeyed without question. This time, he doesn’t.

 

The moment is quiet, but monumental. Haunted by memories of Anna — another worker whose untreated injury led to fatal infection — Ry makes a choice that changes everything. He disobeys Celia and takes Bear to hospital. It is an act of rebellion, compassion, and guilt all at once. Ry has grown fond of Bear, seeing in him not weakness but resilience. Celia calls that affection “pitiful.” Ry now understands it is human.

 

The drive to Leeds is tense and symbolic. Bear’s confusion at recognising the city name is heartbreaking. He realises, with dawning horror, that he was never as far from home as Celia led him to believe. His captivity was not geographical, but psychological. The lie runs deeper than forced labour — Bear is a man erased.

 

At the hospital, Ry’s desperation leads to an impulsive lie that becomes the emotional core of the episode. To protect Bear from scrutiny and Celia’s inevitable retaliation, Ry tells the staff that Bear is his father. It is meant as a shield. Instead, it becomes something far more profound.

 

Medical examinations reveal the full extent of Bear’s suffering: untreated fractures, chronic nerve damage, scars of long-term neglect, and a dependency on painkillers — pills Ry himself has been giving him to survive Celia’s brutal demands. The guilt is crushing. What Ry thought was kindness has contributed to Bear’s addiction. The truth lands hard, forcing Ry to confront the cost of survival under Celia’s rule.

 

Yet in the stark, sterile quiet of the hospital room, something unexpected grows. Bear, frail and exhausted, offers Ry something Celia never has: fatherly wisdom. Their conversations are tender and restrained, filled with things neither man has ever been allowed to say. Bear speaks of a son he lost without naming him. Ry speaks of a childhood stolen — a life before Celia, before his grandfather died and his identity was reshaped to suit her needs.

 

For Ry, calling Bear “Dad” — even as a lie — unlocks something deeply buried. It is the first time the word has ever felt real. And in that space, Bear encourages him to dream again. When Ry admits that his dream includes Laurel, and the possibility of becoming a stepfather to her children, Bear urges him not to let Celia’s shadow define the rest of his life.

 

While this fragile bond forms in Leeds, the walls of Celia’s empire begin to crack back in the Dales. Moira Dingle, sharp-eyed and relentless, uncovers evidence of Celia’s deception in their shared business dealings. Alongside Cain, whose simmering presence promises consequences, Moira prepares to confront the woman who has destroyed lives to build her fortune.

 

The timing is exquisite. Celia, unaware of Ry’s defiance or Bear’s revelations, sits alone in her farmhouse — a queen in a kingdom built on fear. But the silence she relies on is breaking. Ry has spoken. Bear has been seen. And the Dingles are no longer willing to look away.

 

By the episode’s end, Ry stands changed. He is no longer merely Celia’s obedient shadow. He is a protector, a son in spirit, and a man beginning to believe he might deserve love. The road ahead is dangerous — returning to Celia will mean confrontation, retaliation, and reckoning — but the transformation has begun.

 

Emmerdale delivers this story with unflinching intensity, reminding viewers that true power does not lie in domination, but in defiance. When pain, guilt, and anger finally collide, even the most carefully constructed empire can fall. And when the broken find their voice, silence becomes impossible to maintain.

 

Celia faces Cain and Moira’s wrath in Emmerdale ITVX release as the end ‘confirmed’ for her and Ray

 

It may finally be the beginning of the end for Celia Daniels in Emmerdale, as her carefully constructed reign of control starts to crumble under the weight of suspicion, anger and rebellion. Once operating from the shadows, Celia now finds herself exposed, with two of the village’s most formidable figures firmly in her sights: Moira and Cain Dingle. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, the ITVX release suggests that Celia’s downfall could be imminent—and Ray may be dragged down with her.

For Moira, the betrayal cuts especially deep. Only weeks ago, she was grateful to Celia for offering her a lifeline during one of the toughest financial periods she and Cain had faced. The turkey-rearing business promised stability and a much-needed boost to the farm’s struggling finances. Celia presented herself as a savvy businesswoman with the resources and experience to help Moira succeed, and Moira, worn down by months of worry, allowed herself to trust her.

That trust begins to unravel with a single phone call. A disgruntled client contacts Moira with complaints that make little sense, leaving her confused and unsettled. Certain that there must be some kind of misunderstanding, Moira heads to Celia’s farm to get answers—only to make a discovery that changes everything.

Strikingly, Moira has never previously visited Celia’s home, a detail that already hints at how distant and guarded Celia has been despite their business partnership. When Moira arrives, she finds the place eerily empty. Letting herself inside, she is confronted with a scene that immediately raises alarm bells. The house is in a state of shocking disrepair—far removed from the image of success Celia projects. But it’s what Moira finds next that truly rattles her.

 

Among scattered paperwork, Moira comes across a pile of invoices bearing her signature. At first glance, they appear legitimate—but the figures are wildly unfamiliar. The amounts don’t match any agreements she recalls signing off on. The realisation hits hard: someone has been manipulating the books, and Moira’s name has been used to do it.

Furious and feeling deeply betrayed, Moira storms straight to The Woolpack, where she finds Celia enjoying a quiet drink. Wasting no time, Moira confronts her, accusing her of doctoring invoices and dragging her into something potentially illegal. Celia, however, is well-practised at deflection. Calm and composed, she brushes off the allegations, blaming a client error and promising to “look into it.”

But Moira isn’t fooled. Her anger builds as Celia continues to dismiss her concerns, and the situation quickly escalates. Caleb, witnessing the heated exchange from the bar, attempts to intervene, urging Moira to calm down before things spiral out of control. It’s at this moment that Celia reveals just how cruel and calculating she can be.

Leaning in, Celia quietly suggests that Moira’s behaviour might be linked to her past brain tumour, implying that her illness has returned and is affecting her judgment. The remark is devastatingly personal—and it pushes Moira past breaking point. Seeing red, Moira lashes out and strikes Celia, sending shockwaves through the pub.

Chaos erupts as shocked onlookers rush to intervene. Celia collapses into tears, playing the role of the innocent victim with chilling precision. To everyone else in the room, it appears as though Moira has violently attacked a defenceless woman without provocation. Sympathy floods toward Celia, while Moira is left isolated and condemned.

Cain arrives to find his wife at the centre of the storm and swiftly ushers her away as villagers gather around Celia, offering comfort and support. The damage, however, has already been done. Moira’s credibility has taken a serious hit, and Celia has successfully flipped the narrative in her favour.

Back at Butler’s Farm, the reality of the situation sinks in. Moira confesses to Cain that she deeply regrets ever going into business with Celia. The unease she’s felt for weeks now makes sense, and the pieces are finally coming together. Cain, already suspicious, admits that he never trusted Ray either—especially after the bizarre incident involving Marlon and the mysterious car crash connected to Ray.

United in their resolve, Moira and Cain decide they won’t let the matter rest. They agree to confront Celia at her farm the following day, determined to ask the questions Moira should have asked much earlier. As Moira grimly mutters that Celia should “brace herself,” it’s clear the Dingles are preparing for war.

Meanwhile, Celia is anything but shaken. Behind closed doors, she fumes about Moira’s outburst, but her confidence remains intact. She believes she has already secured her position—and Moira’s silence. Calmly, she lays out her leverage to Ray: there’s a dead body on her land, Moira’s signature is all over fraudulent invoices, and now Moira has physically assaulted her in public. If Moira pushes too hard, Celia could easily shift the spotlight onto her instead.

Yet cracks are starting to form in Celia’s operation. The pressure is mounting, and even she can sense that things are becoming dangerously complicated. In a rare admission of vulnerability, Celia tells Ray that it may be time to shut everything down and leave the area altogether. Running has always been her contingency plan—but this time, it may not be so simple.

Ray, increasingly conflicted, is no longer the obedient accomplice Celia expects him to be. Earlier that day, he had already defied her by taking Bear to the hospital to have a wound stitched—directly against Celia’s orders. The act may seem small, but it signals a shift in Ray’s moral compass and a growing resistance to Celia’s control.

Adding to her frustration, Ray has also reached out to Laurel, seeking another chance at their relationship. By following his heart instead of Celia’s commands, Ray is quietly asserting his independence, and it threatens the foundation of their partnership. Celia may command fear, but her grip is slipping.

With Moira and Cain closing in, Ray beginning to rebel, and secrets piling up faster than Celia can contain them, the walls are finally closing in. What once felt like an untouchable operation now looks fragile and exposed. The ITVX release strongly hints that this convergence of forces could mark the end of Celia Daniels’ time in the village—and Ray’s future alongside her is far from secure.

As Emmerdale builds toward this explosive reckoning, one thing is clear: Celia’s enemies are no longer in the shadows. And when the Dingles come for answers, they rarely leave empty-handed.
