Emmerdale star quits ITV show ahead of explosive scenes
A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale)
An Emmerdale source said: 'It's the beginning of the end for John. He's got away with so much, but he's about to make a fatal mistake that sees him exposed for what he is."
According to The Sun, they added: 'Obviously, Oliver knew that a character like John had a shelf life and that's rapidly approaching.
'He's loved his time on the show, but there's still plenty of twists and turns coming before he departs for good.'
This comes after it was revealed that Mackenzie Boyd would be murdered by John in upcoming scenes.
A source with the ITV show said at the time: 'The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch.
'Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions, but this time it looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew.
'Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens.'
The scenes, which are meant to air later this year, will take place after Mackenzie discovers the truth about John.
Actor Lawrence Robb has already filmed the final scenes for his character.
The insider added: 'There are huge twists and turns coming throughout this storyline, and it's going to run for months and months.
'Nothing can be ruled out - bosses are really going for it and doing everything they can to keep the audience on their toes.'
According to IMDb, Oliver Farnworth is an English actor born in Yorkshire on August 5, 1982.

Emmerdale fans 'work out' who gets framed for Mack's 'death' in sick revenge
Emmerdale viewers fear a character is going to be set up for the reported murder of Mackenzie Boyd amid claims the character will bow out of the ITV soap at the hands of John Sugden With a murder said to be looming on Emmerdale, fans believe a character could be framed for the horrific crime in a sickening revenge twist. Reports have emerged that John Sugden is about to claim his next and possibly final victim, and now fans think someone else will be blamed. John has so far gotten away with murdering Nate Robinson, injuring Aidan Moore and orchestrating a string of other incidents to play the hero. Now it's claimed Mackenzie Boyd will be killed off in a brutal new twist. It comes as reports stated actor Lawrence Robb was bowing out of the ITV soap after five years, as part of a twist involving killer John. According to the rumours, Mack will rumble John's crimes and it will lead to Mack's gruesome death. But will it be poor Robert Sugden left to face punishment for the crime amid his feud with his villainous brother John? John has made it abundantly clear he wants Robert out of the way, deliberately targeting him and this is only set to continue. Amid spoilers revealing Robert and ex Aaron Dingle grow closer, sparking affair predictions, we will see Aaron's husband John desperate to keep the pair apart. So how far will he go to get rid of his brother, and could it see Robert sent back to prison? Robert was released earlier this year after six years inside over the death of Lee Posner. Fans are now concerned that if Mack is killed off, John will cover his tracks and pin it all on Robert to get him locked up yet again. One fan posted on social media: "John better not frame Robert for Mack's murder." Another viewer said: "He'll probably frame Robert and Aaron carries on being blind until next spring." It comes as actor Lawrence addressed the rumoured exit for the first time on Loose Women on Wednesday. He said: "There are lots of rumours, and rumours they shall remain", before adding: "I've always said that being in the show that I never want to be too prescriptive with it. " But when asked how he would feel about being killed off, he admitted that he would always feel grateful for the time he's had on the show, as he issued a warning to fans. He said: "I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. If, and when, the time to leave comes, whether that would be my choice or the choice of the producers, then I will be thankful for the time that I've had. Ultimately, no one is safe in the show", before quipping: "Especially not in that village!" On the future for Mack amid a row with his wife Charity Dingle and the stuff with John, Lawrence recently remained coy but did hint at bad things ahead. He simply said: "It's not looking good." Lawrence went on: "Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he's also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things."

Princess Andre's 'dark' world as Katie Price's ex Kieran Hayler issues grovelling statement
Katie Price's marriage to her third husband was marred by toxicity, persistent infidelity and a 'Mucky Mansion' - now Princess Andre has spoken of her childhood pain Princess Andre has a new reality show and The Princess Diaries is already giving us plenty of insight into her relationship with mum Katie Price. One of the big takeaways from the the ITV show is that the 18-year-old influencer's admission that Katie's troubled past had led her to experience things 'kids shouldn't see'. "I wish I could have had a happier childhood," she said. "I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind." Princess, who is the daughter of Katie's first husband Peter Andre, was 10 when her mum split from third husband Kieran Hayler after five years together. "Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there, she wasn't there because she had her own problems," the teenager said on the show. "I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then." Katie, 47, and Kieran married in Weston-Super-Mare in 2013 and went onto have two children together, Jett and Bunny. They renewed their vows in Barbados in 2016 on what was said to be a make or break holiday, with Kieran cheating on Katie multiple times throughout the course of their relationship. One of Kieran's mistresses was Jane Pountney, Katie's friend of 20 years and he cheated on her with a second pal, Chrissy Thomas. The vow renewal didn't work - in 2017 the former glamour model found out Kieran had been unfaithful once more with their children's nanny, Nikki Brown and the following year they went their separate ways. "He did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything kind of went downhill," said Princess. "My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that the best way. She went through a very, very like dark time, which is understandable." Katie later opened up about her 'toxic' marriage to Kieran, blaming him for the 'disgusting' state of her home and her depression, which saw her want to stay sleep all day. The 38-year-old reality star told the Daily Mail this week he would love to apologise in person to Princess for the impact his troubled relationship with Katie had on her. "I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation," he said. "Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do." But Kieran, who revealed he longer has a relationship with his former step-children, also told the publication he had been the best step dad he could be. "I regret the way things happened but at the same time those are issues I never put around the children, they were put around the children by everything becoming so public," he said. Kieran moved on with Michelle Penticost and they had son Apollo before they split earlier this year. In 2019, Michelle secured a restraining order against Katie for harassing her.

Lucy Mecklenburgh admits she sleeps in separate bed to Ryan as she fumes over wedding planning
Lucy Mecklenburgh has spoken about her relationship with Ryan Thomas, including revealing their sleeping arrangements at home and an update on them planning their wedding Former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh has revealed that she is sleeping in a separate bed to fiancé Ryan Thomas, branding him a "nightmare". She has also spoken out about the real reason her wedding planning has stalled and admitted the situation had been "quite hard". Lucy, 33, and former Coronation Street cast member Ryan, 41, who have been in a relationship since 2017, now live in Manchester with their two children. The couple, who got engaged two years after they began dating, gave an insight into their relationship whilst on a podcast together recently. Ryan's fiancée was a guest on the latest episode of the At Homes with the Thomas Bro's podcast, which was released earlier today. Lucy spoke to Ryan and his twin brothers Scott Thomas and Adam Thomas, both 37, who co-host it. Asked about their sleeping arrangements at one point, Lucy said on the podcast: "Basically we sleep in separate bedrooms because Ryan is a nightmare sleeper." She went on to say that her fiancé snores and talks in his sleep. Scott teased: "He always wants a cuddle." Lucy responded: "I mean, that is annoying." Sharing her reasons for sleeping separatedly from her partner, she then shared: "Basically, Ryan snores, he sleep talks, he whacks me in his sleep." She added: "Just to get a good night sleep and that's just become normal now." Lucy later shared that she isn't always alone though, with her saying that she sometimes has the couple's five-year-old son in the bed with her. Earlier on the podcast, Lucy said that she considers the couple's sleeping arrangements to be "normal". Speaking about sleeping separately from her partner, she said: "I've spoken to other people and it's pretty normal in their house [too]." Later sharing his thoughts though, her brother-in-law Adam, who's been married to his wife Caroline Thomas for eight years, said: "I couldn't imagine not sleeping in the same bed as Caz. Like, I go to bed holding her hand sometimes." Elsewhere on the podcast, Lucy was also asked about her wedding plans after getting engaged to Ryan in 2019 whilst on holiday in Italy together. She that they "do talk about" getting married but that plans got "pushed aside" once she realised that she was pregnant with their eldest child. Lucy said: "Now we've got kids, it's valuing that money for other things more than a day. [...] I would love it but then, I don't know, I find it quite hard." Reflecting on their relationship, she said: "Well fell pregnant the night we got engaged." The reality TV star continued on the podcast: "I was planning the wedding from then." Lucy recalled looking at venues and dresses for the special occasion shortly after getting engaged to Ryan six years ago. She however said that it only last 10 days as she then halted her planning once she discovered she was pregnant. She shared that she had suspected she was pregnant on flight home from Italy, where they got engaged, after feeling nauseous. She said: "That was it. So then my dream ... planning my wedding lasted 10 days and then I knew that once I had a child it wouldn't mean as much as I was really upset about it. I kind of just knew that everything would revolve around the kids after that and that's kind of what happened."
