ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo
ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo Coronation Street viewers are convinced that a former cobbles favourite is going to make a comeback in order to save Todd Grimshaw from abusive Theo Silverton ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo (Image: ITV ) Coronation Street viewers believe they've figured out who will rescue Todd Grimshaw from Theo Silverton, and it's a beloved former resident of the cobbles. This year on the soap, Todd (played by Gareth Pierce) began a romantic relationship with newcomer Theo (portrayed by James Cartwright). However, it was later disclosed that Theo is actually married to Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and is a father to Millie (Kaitlyn Earley) and Miles (Lewis William Magee). In a heartbreaking twist, Theo confided in Todd about his past, revealing he had been forced to undergo conversion therapy due to his hidden sexuality. The truth about Theo and Todd's relationship was exposed when Danielle caught them in a passionate embrace. Since then, Theo and Todd have continued their affair, but it hasn't been an easy journey for the couple. The pair started dating this year Recently, Theo's teenage daughter Millie concocted a pregnancy hoax in a bid to lure her father back home. When Todd discovered the truth, he insisted she confess to everyone, reports Leicestershire Live. Article continues below However, Millie craftily spun another lie, telling her father that Todd had forced her to have an abortion - a claim that Theo eventually discovered to be false. Angered by Theo's initial lack of trust, Todd ended up drowning his sorrows with James Bailey (Jason Callender). James attempted to make a pass at Todd, who rejected him just as Theo walked in. Theo showed his dark side recently Todd found reassurance from Theo, who made it clear he had no interest in James – a sentiment that left Theo chuckling about the day's tumultuous events. Theo then struck a deal with Todd, promising to keep Millie at bay if Todd stayed away from James. However, the situation escalated when Theo later confronted James with a stark warning: back off Todd or face more than just verbal threats. Amidst fan theories of an impending grim storyline where Theo might harm Todd, some viewers are convinced a figure from Todd's past could emerge as his saviour. Fans have 'worked out' who saves Todd Discussions on a Coronation Street Facebook fan group have been rife, with one user expressing their dislike for Theo. The conversation quickly turned to speculation about Todd's ex, Karl Foster (portrayed by Chris Finch), making a dramatic return to rescue him. Comments included: "Remember Karl Foster? He needs to come back, he was def Todd's one that got away." Others reminisced, with one saying: "Aww yeah I remember him". Calls for Karl's return were echoed by another fan: "That'd be so good! He could save Todd from Theo." Another chimed in with support: "Yeah he could be the one." Long-time fans will remember Karl's introduction in 2003 as a nurse at Weatherfield General and his subsequent relationship with Todd (then played by Bruno Langley), who was romantically involved with Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) at the time. Karl's departure in 2004 led to a petition for his comeback, which garnered numerous signatures. Article continues below Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX

British DJ, 24, is in a coma after suffering brain bleed in quad bike crash on Greek party island
A British DJ is in a coma after suffering a horror quad bike accident on the Greek party island of Zante just days before he was set to return home, Kai Roberts, 24, was working his 'dream job' on a month-long residency at the Ikon nightclub before the tragic crash took place. Roberts, of Pembrokeshire, West Wales, suffered a seizure and a bleed on the brain at the weekend which resulted in him being placed into a medically induced coma. Despite the severity of his injuries, he is said to be in a stable condition. His girlfriend, Kya Gillane-Heywood, 20, said the incident took place at around 5pm on Sunday while he was a passenger on a bike being ridden by his friend. The quadbike then smashed into a wall on a coastal road. Roberts was initially taken to the general hospital in Zante after waiting an hour for the ambulance, but had to be flown to the Greek mainland. His friend was treated for minor injuries after the incident. Roberts' distraught partner said she found out about the accident through a friend as she did not have her phone with her at the time. 'She came and found me and told me so I rang the other boy he was with to see what was going on,' Kya said. 'At that point they didn't think it was as serious. It turned out when he got to the medical centre, they transferred him straight to the hospital and they did a CT scan and he had a bleed on the brain.' His girlfriend called the situation 'horrible', adding that she and his loved ones are all 'still in shock' following the tragic incident. 'He came out and left his job on unpaid leave. He was DJing, and supporting (DJs) Nathan Dawe, Tom Zanetti, and Freddie Lineker at a nightclub in Zante,' she said. 'I've never seen him so happy with this chance. It was massive for his career. It was going really well. They wanted him back next year. Everyone just loved him'. Kya revealed the family are unsure whether the insurance will cover Roberts but have been focusing on cost of flying out his loved ones to be with him. Following the crash, friends have rallied around to raise money for Roberts' care and more than £5,500 has been donated within 48 hours of the fundraiser going live. Toby Ellis, station manager at Pure West Radio where Kai has a house music show, said: 'It's been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for all of us at Pure West Radio as we come to terms with the news about one of the PWR Dance Family DJs, Kai Roberts, who has suffered a serious head injury following a quad bike accident in Zanté. 'Kai experienced a seizure and a bleed on the brain and is currently in a coma, receiving urgent medical care in a Greek hospital. 'He had been out in Zanté for the month of June, landing some incredible gigs supporting big-name DJs, and was due to return home tomorrow 'His close family are now travelling to be by his side.' On Monday morning, Roberts' brother Corey, 18, flew to Greece with his family. 'We heard about the bleed on the brain, following the CT scan, that's when we were all in bits, and we booked flights out to Greece,' he said. 'My brother is my idol. 'Everyone loves him. He's well known and everywhere he goes, everyone loves him. He's just a massive character. He's got the biggest smile in the room.'

Bob Vylan claim they are being ‘targeted' for speaking up about Palestine
They were criticised after leading chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during a livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival on Saturday afternoon. The BBC apologised after the set at the West Holts Stage was livestreamed, saying on Monday describing the chants were 'antisemitic sentiments' that were 'unacceptable'. Bobby Vylan, one half of the British duo, also led his audience in chants that included 'Free, free Palestine'. Posting a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, captioned 'Silence is not an option', the group said: 'Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. 'Last week it was a Palestine pressure group. The week before that it was another band.' Bob Vylan performed on the West Holts Stage slot directly before Irish rap trip Kneecap, whose member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, appeared in court in June charged with a terror offence. A post shared by Bob Vylan (@bobbyvylan) Kneecap also led the Glastonbury audience in 'Free Palestine' chants, and on Monday Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings. The Bob Vylan statement continued: 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. 'We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. 'A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.' The statement added: 'We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. 'We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction. 'The Government doesn't want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity? To ask why they aren't doing more to stop the killing? To feed the starving? 'The more time they talk about Bob Vylan the less time they spend answering for their criminal inaction. 'We are being targeted for speaking up. We are not the first, we will not be the last, and if you care for the sanctity of human life and freedom of speech, we urge you to speak up too.' Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both the Bob Vylan and Kneecap performances, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A force spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.' The BBC has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the Bob Vylan performance on iPlayer with on-screen warnings about discriminatory language. It has since been revealed that BBC director-general Tim Davie was at Glastonbury when the pro-Palestine chants were broadcast. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' Bob Vylan have now been banned from the US, where they were due to tour in autumn with performances in Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau said the duo's visas were revoked for their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury'. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports, while his bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan. The group was formed in Ipswich in 2017, and are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class. The group are expected to perform at Radar Festival in Manchester on Saturday and at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall in August.
