Coronation Street icon robbed in horror showdown
It wasn't that long ago that Coronation Street's Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) was being accused of being a little bit boring.
Since Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) went away to India, Aadi has been in charge of his dad's business and has been determined to make a success of it. That left little time for socialising or fun.
That all changed recently, of course, as Aadi decided to throw a party. This went disastrously wrong when Nina (Mollie Gallagher), Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Lauren (Cait Fitton) ended up taking LSD.
Lauren – who was unaware she'd taken the drug – wandered off and was terrified by hallucinations of Joel Deering (Calum Lill). She ended up falling and being badly injured.
In the aftermath of this Aadi has tried to make amends with Lauren, and in upcoming episodes it's clear to others – but not to Aadi – that Lauren has growing feelings towards him, unaware that it was indirectly his fault that she ended up taking the LSD.
Lauren is obviously angry and upset that she was apparently spiked at the party. Aadi had a chance to tell her what had happened but bottled it. His guilt has led him to try to help Lauren by lending her money and she's been grateful for his help, but her attitude would definitely switch if she knew the truth.
At this point Aadi is probably wishing he could go back to being boring again, but he's in for more drama when the corner shop is robbed by a masked intruder. The thief escapes from the shop and is seen by Lisa (Vicky Myers) and Carla (Alison King) as he flees. More Trending
A shaken Aadi tells Asha (Tanisha Gorey) that the robber threatened him with a wrench and forced him to empty the safe. His sister reassures him that he's the victim of a crime and he shouldn't blame himself.

When the police arrive, Aadi tells officer Jess Haywood (Donnaleigh Bailey) that he thinks the robber took about £6k in cash, but luckily their insurance will cover it.
Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) notices that his behaviour is quite shifty as he says this. Is he hiding something?

What is Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters? All you need to know
A brand new death-defying reality series begins on Monday night, with Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters premiering at 9pm on ITV. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to watch big-name celebrities like Helen George, Lucy Punch and Rachel Riley share the sea with a bunch of sharks, then look no further. The six-part series will see seven celebrities pushed to the limit as they face one of humanity's biggest fears, all while trying to help dispel the stigma surrounding the prehistoric creatures. The Bahamas might be a luxury holiday destination, but they're also home to more than 40 different species of shark, earning it the title of 'Shark Capital of the World'. The famous faces jetting off to The Bahamas will be getting help from the show's shark experts, but they will still have to face parts of the challenge alone. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Sir Lenny Henry is perhaps the biggest name in the Shark! Celebrity Infest Waters cast list, with the veteran comedian and TV presenter, 66, ready to take on the challenge. Speaking about signing up (via Radio Times), he said: 'I didn't have that cartoon special effect where my eyeballs jumped out of my head. I considered it and thought, 'Actually, I'd love to do that.'' McFly bassist and I'm A Celeb winner Dougie Poynter, 37, who's joining Sir Lenny in The Bahamas, told Metro and other media that the show left no room for any 'egos' in the camp. 'We supported each other while doing something so dangerous,' he said. 'There was no room for ego. We had a buddy systemit was literally our job to make sure our gear was on right, and our mates' gear.' Despite the ITV show's intense premise, Rachel Riley, 39, told us that the series is 'warm and funny' and promised viewers that, while the series has a message, nothing would be 'rammed down your throat'. However, the Countdown star also revealed the danger that the celebrities put themselves into: 'It's mentioned in the programme there was a fatality in [the place we were swimming through] in 2024.' TV and film star Lucy Punch, 47, said that, while 'traditional wildlife shows preach to the converted', the family focus of Shark' Celebrity Infested Waters will 'bring in a whole new audience'. Comedian and actor Ross Noble, 49, concurred with Dougie and Lucy, saying that the entire cast 'just got on' with one another, adding to the family spirit of the show. Speaking to Metro, CBBC presenter and wheelchair basketball star Ade Adepitan, 52, called Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters a 'genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience'. 'I feel I could travel and spend all my life going around meeting people – and very, very few of them would be able to say they've swum with tiger sharks.' However, he revealed that watching Steven Spielberg's classic shark attack film Jaws before he was a teenager might have been a little bit of a mistake. 'I watched Jaws when I was nine years old but I shouldn't have watched it. If someone had told me back then that decades later I would be diving with sharks… even when I hear [the Jaws music] my blood pressure goes up.' Celebrity number seven, 41-year-old actress Helen George, said that taking part in the reality show was an 'incredible experience' after pushing herself to confront her fear of swimming. The Call the Midwife star told Metro and other media 'I was terrified of putting my head underwater. I have a real deep-rooted fear. I used to love the water when I was really young, but I went to a swimming party when I was six. 'They put those weird 90s foam mats down. They're massive yoga mats, really. I just remember this moment of being stuck underneath one and not being able to get out. There was that fear of being trapped.' She continued: 'From then, I got it in my head about not putting my head underwater… The mats were on top, and no one knew I was down there.' While Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters will focus on seven celebrities swimming with sharks, producers of the show hope that viewers will learn a few lessons as well. The celebrities will be accompanied in their challenges by shark scientist Dr. Tristan Guttridge, marine biologist Danni Washington, and shark-attack survivor Paul de Gelder. 'Coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of Jaws, the show will challenge ocean-fearing celebrities to face nature's most terrifying underwater predator – sharks,' ITV previously said about the show. More Trending The producers explained: 'With the 50th anniversary of Jaws acting as a timely cultural touchpoint, the series sets out to reframe the shark narrative – from fear and sensationalism to fascination and conservation. 'Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters has a dual mission: deliver thrilling entertainment while deepening public understanding of sharks and their fragile ecosystems.' ITV is aiming for their latest celebrity shark swimming reality show to be more serious than the 2005 show Celebrity Shark Bait, which saw four celebrities face sharks in South Africa.

Coronation Street fans want awkward relationship to stop
Some have said Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) should 'pack it in' on the ITV soap, as they described their new relationship as 'forced and awkward'. Kit and Sarah became an item a few months ago after his connection with Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) no longer had sparks flying, and Sarah's marriage to Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) came to an end following her affair with Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths). In a post discussing Kit and Sarah's chemistry, someone wrote on the subreddit r/coronationstreet: 'Anyone else think how forced and awkward this entire relationship is? 'They have zero chemistry and when they do interact it's like watching paint dry. They need to pack it in.' This viewer replied: 'I commented when he first arrived that they would end up together. It was when she planted evidence about something. Should they be together? No. Put her back with Adam. But it won't happen.' Another said: 'It feels a bit weird that she's pursing a relationship after he nearly wrecked her brothers marriage.' One person shared: 'Pretty much all of Sarah's relationships now are forced and awkward. The writers have a thing of getting her together with bad boys and having it make no sense too.' A Reddit profile also responded: 'I agree with you kit and Sara doesn't have chemistry they are so blah together don't know why they paired them up for anyway.' Meanwhile, others think Sarah still has 'amazing chemistry' with Gary Windass (Mikey North) and hope they end up together again. As this fan revealed: 'I've said it before and I'll say it again…Sarah and Gary are Endgame. They had insane chemistry.' Another agreed: 'To me Sarah still has amazing chemistry with Gary and they should have those two have ab [an] affair and eventually get back together.'

Speaking about Sarah's daughter Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) set to appear on the cobbles again in the near future, this account wrote: 'Bethany is back soon. I hope they don't do some affair/ one night stand storyline with Kit and Bethany.' Do you love or hate Kit and Sarah's relationship on Corrie?
