Moira forced to accept devastating loss in Emmerdale
It's not been a great year for Emmerdale's Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), what with the brain tumour, cheating husband, and the death of her daughter-in-law. But there's more being slung at her, and this is one thing she may not overcome.
Moira's life is her farm and having already had to fight to save it once in the not-too-distant past, the latest threat to her livelihood is this time insurmountable.
The awful slurry spill that happened during John Sugden's (Oliver Farnworth) stag do and saw the local water supply contaminated resulted in young Harry getting sick from drinking the water. He was rushed to hospital and had to remain in their care due to the severity of his condition.
This has had huge ramifications – not only has it rocked the village's trust in Moira, but her business has tanked as a knock-on effect.
Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) has taken the fall and is swamped with guilt about the incident, but things get worse when he learns that Moira's insurance company have poo-pooed any idea of them paying out due to the incident seemingly being due to recklessness.
It's the nail in the coffin and a defeated Moira realises that this is the end of the line – Butlers will be no more after 16 years. She's fort valiantly, but in the end, it wasn't enough. As far as she is concerned, Mackenzie is to blame. More Trending
John is burdened with the weight of his own guilt and takes it out on Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). Little Harry, the victim of the slurry spill, is still ill in hospital on a drip and Mack breaks down in John's arms at the gravity of what he's done.

But Moira cannot bear to look at her brother as she watches her whole life go up in flames. She accepts her fate, the farm is finished.

Lewis Hamilton gives lucky F1 rival a lift home on his private jet after finding out he was booked on EasyJet
It was Franco Colapinto's first time riding on a private jet. COME FLY WITH ME COME FLY WITH ME Lewis Hamilton gives lucky F1 rival a lift home on his private jet after finding out he was booked on EasyJet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEWIS HAMILTON took rookie Franco Colapinto on his private jet following the Spanish Grand Prix, instead of flying EasyJet. The seven-time world champion put a message in the F1 drivers' WhatsApp group following the race in Barcelona offering a free flight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Franco Colapinto rode in style in Lewis Hamilton's private jet instead of EasyJet after the Spanish Grand Prix. Credit: EPA 4 Lewis Hamilton sold his candy red private jet he purchased for £25m in 2013 4 Hamilton bought the jet shortly after leaving McLaren for Mercedes 4 The 40-year-old sold it for environmental reasons but still hires jets to some Grands Prix 22-year-old Argentinian Alpine driver Colapinto said he was headed to London - but with budget airline EasyJet. So Hamilton told him to cancel his plans and hitch a ride onboard his swanky jet instead. Colapinto said it was a "dream come true" given he has always been a huge admirer of the Ferrari driver and he had never been on a private jet. Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, Colapinto said: "Yeah it was nice, 'Lewis is a great guy and I had the best flight of my life with him. It was very special and very unique. "You all know that he was my idol since I was very young, with Senna as well, and to be able to fly with him and have a bit of a chat. 'He asked if anyone was flying to London and I said I'm going to London but on EasyJet. "And he came back saying he had a lot of space on his plane and invited me to go.

'He's a great guy and I was very, very impressed by how he is as a person and how he is as a professional. Lewis Hamilton devastated after hitting RODENT in Canadian GP as damage to Ferrari derails F1 star's race "A lot to admire from the personal part from the sportsman. It was great, a dream come true and didn't have to fly on my EasyJet flight.' In 2013 Hamilton purchased a £25million luxury Bombadier Challenger 605 in a striking cherry red colour, shortly after leaving McLaren for Mercedes. He sold it in 2019 so it is likely the jet that Colapinto travelled on was rented by Hamilton. Hamilton sold the jet on as it did not make financial sense and it was also not in keeping with his views on sustainable living.

Esther Rantzen's daughter blasts sickening fake AI photos showing star in coma
The former That's Life host Esther Rantzen is battling lung cancer. Her daughter has blasted cruel trolls who put up fake AI photos online. The daughter of Dame Esther Rantzen has blasted 'appalling' online trolls after they posted fake AI photos online claiming to show the TV host in a hospital bed looking close to death. Becca Wilcox appeared on BBC One's Morning Live show to insist her mum was doing as well as she could be dealing with lung cancer at home, and did not look anything like the fake photos, reports the Mirror. She said: 'I was just appalled by them. And I just want to say, first off, obviously these are not real pictures, they are fake pictures of what mum supposedly looks like. 'There is one I really hate because I think she is supposed to be dead or in a coma. It is an extraordinary thing to do I mean, a weird and horrible thing. She doesn't look like that. 'She's been very private about her battle with cancer. She knows that this is something that people are probably interested in, and she tries to do as much audio as possible. But for her, this journey is one that she wants to take with the privacy of her family, like lots of her friends haven't seen her for months and months, so that's the first thing they're seeing. 'I've had to warn my brother to tell his kids that these pictures are out there, that they're not they're not real. That's not what she looks like.' Giving an update on Esther's health, Becca added they had a birthday celebration for her last weekend and showed new unseen photos of her mother alone and alongside her. Becca added: 'She looks great. You know, she has terminal cancer. She looks different to how she didn't fall but she looks incredible. 'What I'm really grateful is to show you these pictures, which is how she really looks. This is her Sunday (showing photos on screen). It was her birthday party. We had a huge half pavlova cake. And you know, this is, this is her walking around her garden, completely different. Yes, some people are in hospital beds, some people are unwell, but that was a fake picture. This is what she looks like. This is literally last Sunday. I wanted you to see Mum looking well. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'I just want to put the record straight that she if she's not on a hospital bed, she's not dead. They're not real, they're not real pictures.' In May 2023, Esther Rantzen has revealed her lung cancer, which she was diagnosed with in January, was in stage four. In as about her health, Dame Esther told the Mirror: "I'm on one of the new medications, and nobody knows if it's working or not. But I will have a scan fairly soon which will reveal one way or another." At the time she explained she had gone public with her lung cancer diagnosis "because I find it difficult to skulk around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise'. Since then she has been a prominent supporter of the bill giving terminally ill adults in England and Wales the right to an assisted death. Stage four is the most advanced stage of lung cancer, and means the cancer has spread beyond the lungs or from one lung to the other. Dame Esther, who turned 85 on Sunday, enjoyed a successful TV presenting career which included hosting BBC consumer show That's Life! for 21 years. In the segment on Morning Live, presenters pointed out that fake photos are becoming more of a problem online.
