EastEnders' Suki Panesar's 'exit sealed' as actress makes huge career announcement
It was another dramatic night in EastEnders tonight as Suki's baby plan was rumbled after Eve took Avani to have an abortion - and now fans think an 'exit' is on the way There were emotional scenes in EastEnders tonight as Eve Unwin took Avani Nandra-Hart to have an abortion behind Suki Panesar's back. Now, fans fear an exit is on the way for Suki, as actress Balvinder Sopal shared some huge career news earlier today. Over recent weeks, Avani confided in her grandmother Suki that she had fallen pregnant with Joel Marshall's baby. Avani expressed her desire to have an abortion, however, Suki persuaded her to keep the baby, telling her she would raise it as her own. Avani seemed to be keen on the plan, although recent episodes saw her opening up to Eve saying she wanted a termination. Tonight, Eve took her to the clinic behind Suki's back, and the teen went through with the termination. It comes after EastEnders confirmed Ben Mitchell's return with first look funeral pictures. READ MORE: Strictly Come Dancing announce EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal as fifth star to join 2025 line-up At the end of the episode, viewers saw Avani in tears at home with Eve and her parents, Ravi and Priya - as it became apparent they were aware of what had been going on in the previous weeks. "Do you want to tell me what the hell you think you've been doing?" a furious Ravi said to Suki - as the episode dramatically ended. Earlier today, it was revealed Balvinder Sopal would be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Sharing the news with fans, the actress said: "This is gonna be the ride of my lifetime! I can't wait!" Although Balvinder said she'd be working alongside the competition, fans are certain she'll need a short break at some point, and they think they know exactly where she'll go to get away. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "So with Bal confirmed for #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing Does this mean that Suki will go and visit Ash in Canada in an attempt to patch things up with her following the aftermath of Avani's termination?" Another agreed: "Working alongside it? That is going to be one tired diva! But if we get more Suki content I'm here for it. If she did have any kind of break, it will probably link to that, maybe go and make up with Ash." In recent weeks, we've heard updates from Ash, as Eve learnt that she had gotten engaged without telling her estranged mother Suki. Her brother Vinny headed over the Vancouver to her engagement party, leaving Suki fuming.

Jeremy Clarkson slammed by fans for controversial pub change
In the latest season of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video, the main focus for Mr Clarkson and co was getting his pub - The Farmer's Dog - up and running. Clarkson announced last August that his pub would be all British, but admitted he was struggling to find certain ingredients. Despite the initial quick turnaround of getting his pub up and running, his attempts to go "all British" hit a wall. It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "We are attempting to go all British for the food at my pub. But we are struggling to find black pepper grown here. Can anyone help?" Following this, the latest series depicts signs up in the pub declaring that the pub is 100% British, which means there is no ketchup served there. However, Condimaniac took up the challenge to create a 100% British ketchup and then aimed to get it stocked at the Farmer's Dog. The condiment company behind the creation of a 100% British-sourced ketchup has declared victory in its bid to provide a ketchup for Jeremy Clarkson's pub. On Instagram, co-founder Kier Kemp said he was really impressed by the pub. "It is not just a gimmick for them they do really live and breathe this 100% British thing," he said. Mr Kemp also added it was one of the 'best wholesale clients I have ever dealt with'. "The team there, the Diddly Squat farm shop that's on site and the pub, everyone I have met is super lovely," he said. "I am glad that I can report they are actually nice people. It is not always like that." However, fans took issue with the fact that the Diddly Squat seemingly made them relabel their product to include their own brand. Recommended reading: On a recent TikTok showing the creation of the sauce and bottle, fans blasted the decision. One said: "Hate that they made you get a new label for it". Another commented: "As if they made you relabel it" Whilst someone else replied: "I don't think it's right to make the label change, it's YOUR sauce promoting HIS business, he doesn't need to be on the label that big anyway. Newsquest has approached Diddly Squat Farm for comment.
