Emmerdale’s Rhona Goskirk to share smooch with Marlon Dingle


'Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk is set to get revenge on her cheating husband Paddy Kirk by sharing a passionate smooch with his best friend Marlon Dingle.
The heartbroken vet -portrayed by Zoe Henry - finds herself falling back into the arms of her ex-lover (Mark Charnock) after she discovers her deceitful spouse (Dominic Brunt) had been having an affair with her young son Leo's teacher Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson) before she was brutally mowed down and killed in a tragic drink-driving hit-and-run.
Zoe explained: "What we're still filming now is a roller coaster of emotions. Rhona is shocked and angry. Through that journey, she looks back at the crossroads in her life. She thinks, 'If I hadn't left Marlon, this would never have happened and never have hurt as much as it has.' So she questions that inevitably and I think it freaks Marlon out a bit. She tries to kiss him."
However, after Marlon, with whom Rhona has son Leo, knocks her back, the mother-of-one is forced to face up to her broken heart and leans on the pub chef for support.
Zoe told the Radio Times: "She realises it would just be adding fire to fire and not resolving anything."
Meanwhile, fans were left gripped to the edge of their seats in last night's episode (11.02.16) after they saw Kirin Kotecha (Adam Fielding) plough into Tess just as she was about to reveal her affair to Rhona.
The twisted storyline will coincide with Adam's departure from the soap next week after he announced he was leaving in order to focus on other ventures.

Noel Edmonds begs stalker to leave him alone


Noel Edmonds has received death threats from a stalker.
The 'Deal or No Deal' host has admitted he's fallen victim to harassment for over three decades and has now begged his stalker, who he believes to be a woman, to leave him be and stop sending him messages of intimate nature or he'll have no choice but to report the incident to the police.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (12.02.16), he said: "If you are watching now, please stop because this is only going to end very unpleasantly for you. I will have to go to the police."
The 67-year-old presenter held off involving the law for many years as he believed the harassment "was a price of fame" but he's been left fearing for his life and career after the 'woman' began to accuse him of having an affair with her.
He explained: "I feel threatened in terms of the pain it's causing Liz [my wife], and the upset it's causing every time I open an email or a tweet and I don't like the idea if it goes even further with the [affair] allegations."
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Noel has been targeted by bullies as he also revealed a young man in his twenties once set up a website and claimed he wanted to murder him.
However, the situation has since been resolved after the presenter met with the perpetrator and managed to bury the hatchet.

EastEnders’ Diane Parish to celebrate 10 years on soap with bottle of booze


Diane Parish is planning to celebrate 10 years on 'EastEnders' by "quietly" swigging a bottle of booze in her dressing room.
The 46-year-old actress - who is known for playing unlucky-in-love Minute Mart manager Denise Fox in the soap - will hit a decade on the BBC One show in May and, although it's a big milestone, she's not keen on making a big song and dance about it because she's just thrilled she's lasted this long on screen.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (12.02.16), she said: "I might just do it [celebrate it] quietly, bring a bottle of something in and not tell the boss that I am drinking it in my dressing room. I feel honoured the show has kept me for 10 years and the audience have loved, or not loved, the character.
"You feel more rooted, the show changes constantly, new characters, producers, stories - but the engine is always the same."
Over the course of the 10 years, Diane has been thrown her fair share of gripping storylines and her alter-ego is set to find herself embroiled in another explosive plot this year as her long-lost step-son Jordan Johnson (Joivan Wade), the son of her killer ex-husband Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet), springs back into her life but, this time, he isn't alone.
She explained: "Jordan's got this little boy but his mother was a drug addict, she was someone who went down the wrong path and got into trouble with drug dealers. Jordan is now trying to pay those drug dealers back and is in a huge amount of trouble."

Rita Ora sparks The X Factor and The Voice bidding war


Rita Ora wants 'The X Factor' and 'The Voice' to fight over her.
The 'Body On Me' hitmaker turned her back on BBC One singing show two years ago after she was swiped by Simon Cowell to join his rival programme as a judge and, although she's yet to make her mind up about which gig she wants to return to this year, she's thrilled she's caused a bidding war.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I hope they keep fighting over me. I don't mind that at all. I don't know what is going on but I like it. I haven't made a decision [on what show I'll return to]. I've been focusing on recording my new album. I haven't started discussions [with my team] over anything."
The 25-year-old singer, who helped Louisa Johnson swipe the winner's crown last year, has sparked speculation she's decided not to return to 'The X Factor' when the new series hits screens later this year after her arrival on the panel coincided with the plunging ratings and heavy criticism.
An insider said: "'The X Factor' ratings were dismal last year so it is no surprise Rita is keen to walk away. A return to 'The Voice' is possible because she loved being a coach last time."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice', which has been aired on BBC for the last four years, will return to screens next year on ITV after it was poached in a deal worth an estimated £33 million.

Emmerdale’s Adam Fielding quits Emmerdale


Adam Fielding has quit 'Emmerdale'.
The 22-year-old actor has decided to turn his back on the long-running show, in which he's portrayed handsome college boy Kirin Kotecha since 2014, in order to pursue other projects.
Taking to his Twitter account last night (11.02.16), the hunky actor uploaded a video in which he rubbished claims suggesting he's departing the Dales due to stress.
He said: "I wanted to make this video to clear some things up. A lot of the journalists think I quit 'Emmerdale' because I was feeling stressed out.
"I mean this is not the case at all guys. In short my reason for leaving is to pursue other opportunities. You know, I'm an actor and my journey does not end with Kirin. Believe me there are a lot of opportunities in the pipeline. Obviously I can't say too much, just watch this space."
Adam's departure has been kept tightly under wraps until now to protect the shock drink-drive plot which saw his boozy alter-ego knock down and kill Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson) in Thursday night's brutal episode (11.02.16).
Kirin immediately flees the scene and, in order to keep his crime hidden from the police, he torches his car.
But as the guilt takes over, Kirin confides in his father Rakesh Kotecha (Pasha Bocarie) but a shock twist hits the village, which brings harsh consequences for all involved.
Adam's final scenes will hit screens next week.

James Norton returns to West End after four years


James Norton is set to star on London's West End.
The 30-year-old actor - who made a name for himself playing Prince Andrei Bolkonsky in 'War and Peace' - is to take on the lead role of Peter Evans, an abusive husband who is left alone after his troubled wife Agnes leaves him, in 'Bug'.
Speaking of his character, he told the Daily Mail newspaper: "He's a vulnerable soul; a conspiracy theorist gone mad, I feel like he's a time bomb. Society can become an unhealthy pressure cooker -- and he just happens to be the first popcorn that pops."
The hunky actor will take to the stage at new venue the Found111, a temporary space created on Charing Cross Road, as he stars alongside his old university friend Kate Fleetwood - who plays female lead Agnes - in the emotional story of their destructive and bitter romance.
Meanwhile, this will be the first time James has been on the West End in four years after he last appeared in 'The Lion In Winter' at the Theatre Royal in Haymarket in 2012.
James hasn't been able to do much theatre work due to filming TV's 'Happy Valley', Grantchester' and the highly popular six-part drama 'War And Peace'.
'Bug' is directed by 'The Dazzle' director Simon Evans and runs from March 24 to May 7, 2016.

Ferne McCann’s Vampire facial


Ferne McCann has been left with a bloody face after she underwent a vampire facelift yesterday (11.02.16).
The 'Only Way is Essex' star has taken a leaf out of Kim Kardashian West's book by opting to have the £750 extreme treatment - a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting the face with plasma from the blood to erase wrinkles - as her new beauty regime.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I am quite against going under the knife, so to keep looking fresh and youthful, I followed in Kim Kardashian's footsteps and had the vampire facial. I admire Kim's gruelling commitment to beauty. I think the whole world does.
"She always looks fantastic and is my beauty idol, so it's part of my new regime. The facial felt actually, really relaxing. Because of the anaesthetic, you feel hardly anything. It's a really good feeling. It feels like it's going to make you look amazing and do wonders to the skin."
Since the reality TV star's appearance on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' late last year, which saw her come third, she has admitted her busy schedule has taken its toll on her appearance.
The 25-year-old beauty explained: "I definitely worry about ageing. I'm moving in to my late 20s this year, so ageing is something that plays on my mind.
"You just have to take care of your skin. I have been super busy since I've been back from Australia which means you won't be seeing as much of this on 'The Only Way Is Essex'."

Linford Christie quits The Jump


Linford Christie has quit 'The Jump' and is being replaced by James 'Arg' Argent.
The former athlete suffered a hamstring injury but didn't recover in time to train for this week's show, forcing him to quit.
A statement said: "It is with regret that Linford Christie has to withdraw from 'The Jump'.
"Despite recovering from a hamstring injury he was not left with enough time to train for this weekend's show and reach the standard needed to compete.
"Last week's eliminated competitor James 'Arg' Argent will return to the competition to take his place."
And Arg is looking forward to being given a "second chance".
Speaking after he was reinstated, he shared: "Now I have a second chance I want to show what I can really do.
"It is an honour to be passed the baton by Linford Christie and I'll hopefully make him proud - and have fun along the way."
Meanwhile, Arg's former 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star Ferne McCann previously teased he would be making a return to the show.
She said: "I spoke to Arg, I rang him up and said 'Arg, I'm doing a bit on 'The Jump', give me the goss!' He got kicked out the competition on Sunday, he said he was loving it and learnt so much. He said 'I might be going back in!'"
