9pm, BBC TwoThis New Zealand/Ireland-set crime drama moves slowly at times – Aileen and Derry's wander through the woods in this episode may try your patience somewhat – but it's still darkly intriguing. When search-and-rescue teams locate the pair, they think a breakthrough is near. But before long, they have another homicide on their hands. Phil Harrison

9pm, Sky WitnessHere's a seventh season of a straight procedural co-created by Dick Wolf of Law & Order fame.

Shock Emmerdale exit as star leaves the show a year after joining – but there's a twist
EMMERDALE'S Steph Fox-Miligan has quit the village after a year. The businesswoman - who is played by actress Georgia Jay in the ITV soap - arrived last year and was immediately thrust into the spotlight as it was revealed she was the product of her grandfather raping her mother. 2 2 The trauma sent Steph spiralling but recently she's been on an even keel after discovering her mum killed her grandfather. This week viewers watched Steph reunite with Ross Barton with things finally going well for her. But when she discovered Ross had slept with Manpreet Sharma months ago, she decided she was done. Booking a ticket to Rome, Steph announced she was going travelling and would be back in the future. In reality, actress Georgia has left the soap to go on maternity leave. A source said earlier this year: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready. 'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion. 'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.' Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy earlier this year after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen. In the Instagram caption, she penned: "As you've probably guessed, I've got some news to share! "I know some of you have been wondering if you've been seeing a little bump on screen lately… well, it's not your imagination... "I'm having a baby," she exclaimed. "We've never been so excited and a little nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support."

Russian model, 25, is latest crime victim of lawless London as she reveals burglar broke in and ransacked her home in the capital
A Russian model known as the 'Bentley Girl' has had her home ransacked as she becomes the latest victim of lawless London. Alla Bruletova, 25, took to Instagram to share an image of the aftermath of the break-in with her 2.6 million followers. It showed a shattered window glass on top of a chest, and a pile of clothes on the floor after a burglar had forced their way into the property. The 5ft 2inch model said a thief broke in, but a passer-by noticed and alerted the police. Taking to Instagram, she said: 'Someone on the street noticed a thief trying to break in through the window and called the cops. 'Shoutout to London police for acting super fast. 'Stay safe, everyone.' In a further post, she added: 'Never expected to be the victim. 'Thank you Metropolitan Police for keeping me safe.' Ms Bruletova was a child gymnast who got into modelling at the age of 13. She dropped out of Vladimir Putin's Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration where she studied journalism, to try her chances in acting and then video blogging. In July 2023 her Bentley video went viral when it amassed 5 million views on the first day, becoming a viral sensation. In the promotional video for a Bentley car at a Russian dealership, she appeared in a hypnotically soft-spoken ASMR‑like commercial for Jet Car dealership. She gently caressed parts of the car — the grille, door handle, steering wheel — whispering the word 'Bentley' in a sultry tone. The influencer has also modelled for major labels around the world and has appeared as a minor character in Russian TV shows Unprincipled and Ivanko. She previously launched her own brand LookForever, but the business has since closed down. Last week, ex-Premier League star Tammy Abraham, who now plays for Besiktas in Turkey, also took to Instagram story to share shocking footage of a burglary at his London home. Clearly shaken, he also told his followers that some valuables were taken. 'A bunch of low lifes came to burgle my home couple days ago and took some valuables,' Abraham captioned the video. 'Thank God my family are all OK. 'If anyone knows or heard any info, please let me know. I will find out soon.' He then clarified the incident took place at his property in London, rather than Turkey. The footage appeared to show three masked individuals moving around the garden. Abraham was seemingly able to watch the break-in via an app, which alerted him to the fact that there were people detected inside the property at just after 3am BST. At one point, two of the intruders dragged away a heavy white object. Earlier this year, the Daily Mail revealed London's swanky Mayfair and Soho neighbourhoods as the burglary hotspots of England and Wales. The sector built around Regent Street, one of the capital's most famed areas because of its breadth of shops and restaurants, recorded 282 break-ins last year. The West End area, with its 2,280 residents, therefore has a burglary rate of 123 per 1,000 population, the highest in England and Wales. Home to just 2,280 residents, our in-depth analysis suggests the West End area, which includes Oxford Street, New Bond Street, Carnaby Street and Saville Row, saw 123 burglaries for every 1,000 people. For Londoners living in an area where the average house price is more than £1million, it is just another problem in a place where crime is around every corner. The constant crowds mean thieves can hide in plain sight, stealing phones straight out of the hands of unsuspecting tourists. Locals are used to the dangers and know not to walk around with phones in hand, make sure doors are locked and keep in touch with neighbours. One log-time Soho resident said everything in her small patch of London 'keeps getting worse'. Javier Mejuto, 52, known as 'Huby', has been a porter for 17 years. His place of work on Gilbert Street in Mayfair was once occupied by residential flats, but increasingly the flats have been changed to AirBnbs, which Javier says has made the job of keeping the building safe much harder. He said: 'What we see quite often is people trying to follow others into the building, or having parties and you don't know who is in the building. 'I have done this job a long time here and other places and this is the worst I have ever seen it. 'We get it quite often, at least eight complaints a month people knocking on the door, trying the keys, buzzing on buzzers and inviting people to parties. 'It's the opportunists which comes from the AirBnb people, they are not looking out for their neighbours. 'I remember the building being residential, you would know your residents, you would know who was in the flats. 'Now you haven't got a clue and every other day it is changing.' Last year, Westminster City Council, which includes Soho and Mayfair was named the UK's worst area for pickpockets. The council received 28,155 reports of theft from the person between March 2023 and March 2024. Popular tourist areas such as Covent Garden, Soho, and Mayfair are also hotspots with gangs known to be targeting mobile phones and jewellery including watches. For Jane Doyle, 79, witnessing street thefts and shoplifting has become all too common. 'It is rampant,' she said, 'People running through pubs and cafes, seeing what they can collect from tables. 'I take care not to use my phone in public unless I have to. 'I feel relatively safe here but I don't go out very much late at night. 'But people do remarkably stupid things, leaving doors open, leaving laptops sitting on the desk and then wonder why it is stolen.' Ms Doyle is a member of the crime panel in Soho and believes issues of theft and anti-social behaviour are getting worse. She added: 'I have lived her for 50 years. 'But more than 35 per cent of Westminster's crime is in Soho, the West End and St James. 'Since covid, everything has got worse. 'There were fewer people around then and there was less opportunity.' In the five years in which Andrew Campbell has lived in Mayfair, he has seen robberies, thefts and even the aftermath of a machete attack. He told the Daily Mail that although he feels safe behind the gated apartment block where he lives, both he and his girlfriend are beginning to 'hate' their home due to the constant risk of robbery. As the burglary capital of the UK, designer shops and unique retailers become targets for criminals trying to break in to steal expensive items. Locals have also noticed an alarming rise in shoplifting in the area. In 2024, thefts were the most common crime in Westminster according to Met Police data, in particular theft from the person - which includes phone and watch thefts. In total, the Met recorded nearly 60,000 theft offences, making up nearly two thirds of all crimes last year. David Bieda said thefts were the main issue for residents in Soho. He said: 'Thefts are the biggest thing, it is people stealing from shops that happens all the time here. 'You see it all the time.' He also had an experience where a man tried to enter his house by jumping over his fence. He said: 'Thefts are the biggest thing, it is people stealing from shops that happens all the time here. 'You see it all the time.' He also had an experience where a man tried to enter his house by jumping over his fence. He said: 'They found someone jumping over all the garden walls, they climbed over my side walls but he was quickly caught by police.'

Danny Dyer says Bafta win was ‘very emotional moment after 35 years in the game'
The former EastEnders star, 48, won the male performance in a comedy award for his role playing Lee in the Sky Max series Mr Bigstuff. Dyer told the PA news agency: 'I would like to think that I could maybe inspire some people that feel that they don't stand a chance, being from a working class background, that you can, if you're committed and you have belief in yourself and ambition, that you can certainly be and do whatever you want to do, whatever you want to achieve in life. 'I think me maybe winning that Bafta was a moment of going, 'Oh, OK, you know what? Anyone can do it.' 'I'm not knocking what I've done, or my achievements or my hard work I've put in, but I do think that it's quite an elite thing, that Bafta thing. 'I think that to give me my flowers after 35 years in the game was a very emotional moment for me and I hope it's inspired a lot of other young kids coming through to just keep at it. Keep at it and never give up.' Speaking about a lack of working class people in the TV and film industry, Dyer said: 'I don't know why it's changed so much. It's a real shame. We need to do something about it.' Dyer also said 'there's room for another series' of Mr Bigstuff, which follows brothers Lee and Glen, played by Ryan Sampson, who are look for their estranged father in series two, after finding out he is alive. 'The character Lee is quite relevant at the moment, in the sense of, the whole masculinity thing, what's going on at the moment with men, and what's true masculinity and what's toxic masculinity,' said Dyer. He added: 'Lee is quite lovable, and he's got no filter, and he does stand up for what's right… it's a funny little layer to Lee.' A post shared by Deliveroo (@deliveroo) Dyer has had a busy past year or so, having starred in Disney+ series Rivals and as the protagonist in Nick Love's comedy-drama Marching Powder. Reflecting on life in the limelight, he said: 'It's really odd to think of what people's perceptions are of me. I don't know what that is. I think I represent different things to different people. 'I think, living in this world of social media, which is really quite destructive and not very nice, it doesn't breed happiness, and people commenting on stuff… I feel like places like Facebook, you might get a lot of hate, obviously Twatter or Twitter, or whatever the f*** it's called, just an awful place to go. 'Instagram's a bit kinder. Only really dabble with Instagram. So for me, there's reality, which is the real world, and then there's the online world, which I feel is a load of bollocks. 'I can walk the streets and no one will give me no f****** aggravation, I get nothing but love. If I was to just look at, say Twitter (now called X), then I would never leave my house.' Dyer is the new star of a Deliveroo advert in which he proclaims to be a 'tosser', asking viewers to join him in eating salads as well as vegetables and other fresh produce.
