Emmerdale and Coronation Street facing major changes to cut costs, ex-soap boss warns

Talking on The TV Podcast, Peter said: 'You've got Coronation Street being made in Manchester, Emmerdale in Leeds. 'Big savings' 'Could you imagine, rather like the daytime consolidation, that ITV will decide to have them both made in the same place under one umbrella? Big savings. 'You still keep Emmerdale set in Yorkshire, but it could be made in Manchester and Salford, which is a bigger hub for ITV. I don't think that's inconceivable — it might be being planned as we speak.'

New Irish Love Island star unrecognisable in old modelling snaps
Megan Forte Clarke is on the new season of the dating show The 24-year-old Dubliner joined the cast of the ITV dating show as it returned to screens last night. The brunette beauty has a host of snaps from throughout her life on social media site Instagram. Megan starring in Snow White at a production in Tallaght Pictures of the musical theatre lover show her as she played Snow White in a production at the Civic Theatre in Tallaght. More recently, she played one of the Ugly Sisters in a production of Cinderella. Other snaps show her as a teenager, modelling in grungy make-up and clothing. Megan Forte Clarke / Instagram Forte's look has been compared to that of fellow Irish Islander Maura Higgins who appeared on the programme in 2019. An insider previously told MailOnline that the show's producers are hoping she will be just as popular as the Longford model. 'Megan is a gorgeous girl, she's funny, and right now, couldn't be unluckier in love, making her the perfect Islander. 'Comparisons to Maura are inevitable and if anything, Megan will see it as a huge compliment.' Ahead of the show's return on Monday, June 9th, Clarke opened up about the type of man she's looking for in the villa. Megan Forte Clarke 'Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus,' she said. 'I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. 'I'm 5ft1 so any height really.'When asked about her 'claim to fame', the theatre lover said: 'Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. 'Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I've also done Panto.' Read more She joined 11 other contestants, hoping to find love in the sun this summer, including fellow Irish singleton Conor Phillips. The Limerick rugby player has played for both Ireland and Munster. Ahead of his debut on the ITV dating show, he said he is looking for a 'dominant woman.' 'Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman.' Conor Phillips When asked if he would be hired or fired by presenter Maya Jama based on his flirting skills he said 'definitely hire.' 'I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby,' he said. 'It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!' The Limerick man said his biggest ick was someone who was 'too needy'. 'I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.' Megan Forte Clarke / Instagram News in 90 Seconds - Tuesday June 10 When asked to finish the statement 'You're a 10 but…', he confessed: 'I don't like to answer to anyone else. 'I like to do my own thing. It's something I'm working on for a relationship. Hopefully I've improved!' During the first episode of the series, Conor coupled up with 29-year-old Londoner Helena Ford, while Megan went with 22-year-old Tommy Bradley.

Carol McGiffin hits out at Loose Women's ‘exhausting' wardrobe rules as she reveals body part they banned from showing
CAROL McGiffin has blasted Loose Women again as she revealed its strict wardrobe rules - and slammed ITV bosses amid budget cuts. The broadcaster, 65, officially left the ITV Daytime show in 2023 following a contract dispute. 3 Loose Women has a strict wardrobe policy, according to a former pannelist Credit: Rex 3 Carol McGiffin says the panel were told what to wear and everything needed to be 'coordinated' Credit: Rex While she's still pals with her former co-stars, she hasn't got many good things to say about the higher ups. Taking a swipe at her former employers, Carol wrote in her Best magazine column: "If those in charge had spent less time obsessing over wardrobe policy and allowed presenters to be themselves, allowing them to say what they think rather than what they wanted them to think, they might not be losing 200+ jobs." She went on: "TV bosses, in my experience, love telling their 'on-screen talent' what to wear, as well as what to say. "I did Loose Women for almost 20 years and the mandated dress codes used to exhaust me." READ MORE ON LOOSE WOMEN Carol, who first appeared on the series in 2000 before she quit in 2023, said one fleeting rule they enforced was a ban on bare arms being shown on screen. She said: "We went from wearing our own clothes to being bought stuff to adhere to ludicrous wardrobe policies like 'no arms on show' ... "Presumably because our ageing biceps were morphing into bingo wings which the (male) boss at the time had decided were offensive. "Another female(!) boss once ordered all the women to wear high heels as well. Most read in Reality "I always loathed being 'dressed' or 'styled' as they preferred to call it. "You always had to be coordinated up to the eyeballs in nice slacks, wrap dresses or boiler suits."
