Emmerdale star 'leaving show' as character to be killed off
It will be Sugden's latest victim, having last killed Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
Fan-favourite Mack, has been on the ITV soap for five years, and it is rumoured his death will be "harrowing".
According to The Sun, John will kill again in an attempt to hide his long list of crimes after Mack discovers his secrets.
A source told the publisher: "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 on the ITV soap are reportedly set to air later this year, with Lawrence Robb already filming his death scene.
The source 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."
There have already been a few exits on Emmerdale so far in 2025.

The actress first arrived on the programme permanently in 2023, after a brief appearance in 2019 when she went on a date with Ryan Stocks (James Moore).
Brenda Walker, who is played by Lesley Dunlop, has also left screens.

Fans of the Yorkshire-based show learned that Dunlop would be bowing out after nearly two decades.
Her departure played its course on-screen in April with her character leaving the village for a three-month cruise.
This exit came after Paula Lane (Ella Forster) departed the programme on the previous epsiode.

Death in Paradise star returns to screens in 'highly entertaining' detective drama
Death in Paradise star returns to screens in 'highly entertaining' detective drama The second season of the detective drama is set to air on ITV tonight with stars from Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and Call the Midwife. Ridley is returning for season 2 (Image: ITV) ITV is set to premiere the second series of its hit detective show tonight, boasting an impressive ensemble of actors. The network has dubbed the new series of Ridley a "gripping crime thriller", with Adrian Dunbar of Line of Duty fame reprising his role as the eponymous Alex Ridley. Georgie Glen, known for her role as Miss Millicent Higgins in Call the Midwife, joins the cast as Dr Wendy Newstone. Bronagh Waugh, familiar from Death in Paradise, will appear as DI Carol Farman, acting opposite Dunbar. The series also welcomes George Bukhari, recognised for his role as Sammy Farr in Coronation Street, playing DC Darren Lakhan, and Julie Graham from Midsomer Murders portraying Annie Marling. Described as a "twisty" and 'highly entertaining' drama, Ridley follows the story of retired detective Alex Ridley who returns to the force as a consultant, using his vast experience to crack complex cases. Ridley has a star-studded cast (Image: ITV) BBC Death in Paradise star shares heartbreak after being fired and losing job READ MORE: After being greenlit by ITV in 2022, the eagerly awaited second series of Ridley is expected to captivate audiences once again when it airs tonight, reports the Express. The opening episode of Ridley's second series, 'A Sleeping Tiger', kicks off with a two-hour special and is the first of four feature-length episodes. In this instalment, Ridley delves into a high-profile jewellery robbery that escalates into a perplexing homicide investigation. The character of Ridley is also portrayed dealing with personal loss, mourning his wife and daughter, a backstory which Adrian Dunbar has discussed as significant for shedding light on men's mental health issues. He shared with Digital Spy: "I think a lot of men feel that they should just be able to kind of deal with stuff on their own and bury it and somehow work their way through it. "But it takes a big toll on yourself. So you'll see him [Ridley] crumble quite a bit, especially when he's on his own. He finds it very difficult, and I suppose getting back to work is the start of a healing process. "I think people should [take that away]. Isolation is a big deal, especially in rural areas. A lot of men in particular who are isolated if they're alone. They do suffer greatly." A Call the Midwife icon will star (Image: BBC) Despite garnering a fan base, the first season of Ridley was met with mixed reactions from critics, with the Daily Telegraph delivering a harsh critique, as they wrote: "If you were playing a detective drama drinking game while watching Ridley, you'd have needed your stomach pumped by the second ad break." The Sunday Times described the show as: "A curious mix of the formulaic and the flamboyant, plodding conventionality and vaulting ambition - rendered all the weirder by its central reliance on a strange blend of wine-bar karaoke and bland Irish balladry." Meanwhile, the Metro commented: "By the time the first episode is over, you'll be begging Monday morning to save you." On the other hand, some reviews were favourable, with The Guardian noting: "All the pieces are smoothly set in motion." The Wall Street Journal offered its take, saying: "Let us say that the oft-times convoluted plot and the occasional absurdity are worth enduring for the personalities - Morse, Thursday and the wonderfully dry police pathologist, Dr. Max DeBryn (James Bradshaw)." Article continues below One enthusiast of the show shared their thoughts, adding: "The show has its shortfalls and aspects of detective work and precinct accessibility that do not ring true, but it is entertaining with twists & turns, serious and lightheartedness blended with sentimental moments." Reflecting on the series, a viewer commented: "Broad in its sweep and stirring in its storytelling, Ridley represents a person's search for justice, no matter the personal or professional cost." The eagerly awaited second season of Ridley kicks off tonight at 8pm on ITV1, and viewers can binge all four episodes on ITVX post-broadcast.

Meanwhile, Rochelle - who was in The Saturdays band with Frankie since 2007 - uploaded an equally thought-provoking message about "choosing partners wisely." Frankie's mystery message was also also posted after her feud with Myleene Klass came to light - after a row over the Hear'Say singer's "cheating" ex. We then reported how ITV has stepped in to manage strained relations between Frankie, Rochelle, and Myleene. Yet now Rochelle has appeared to support Frankie in a rare move, hitting the heart-shaped like button on her recent Instagram upload.

Roy Keane reacted exactly as you'd expect when fan tried to hug the ITV pundit
Roy Keane offered a priceless reaction when a YouTuber and fan tried to hug him before the Community Shield in 2024, with the Manchester United legend and Ian Wright both left stunned Roy Keane reacted in hilariously typical fashion when a fan tried to hug him before last year's Community Shield clash. Keane and Ian Wright appeared as pundits on ITV for the 2024 fixture between Manchester United and Manchester City. Keane's former team United went a goal up in the 82nd minute thanks to Alejandro Garnacho, but conceded just seven minutes later to Bernardo Silva, before going on to lose the first Manchester Derby of the season on penalties. Prior to the match at Wembley Stadium, Wright and Keane were pitchside preparing for their television roles when YouTube personality Harry Pinero and fellow content creator CultureCams appeared and approached the football legends. They greeted Ian Wright warmly, hugging the Arsenal legend and laughing as they enjoyed a nice chat. They then met Keane, who shook Pinero's hand initially, and then CultureCam's, in a relatively friendly manner. But the latter, immediately after introducing himself, attempted to show the Irishman the same affection he had shown Wright. Yet, that was a step too far for the intimidating and notoriously no-nonsense former midfielder. The ex-Red Devils captain was clearly caught off guard by the personal nature of the greeting. Keane didn't seem too impressed as CultureCams embraced him and awkwardly stood still without putting his own arm around the YouTuber, all while sporting a puzzled facial expression. His reaction left Wright and Pinero in heaps of laughter as the former England striker said: "We all love him bro, but you can't come in like that." Keane, still stunned at the audacity, then gave a slight smile as the YouTuber corrected his error by offering him a simple handshake. Later, CultureCams didn't appear to regret his brazen move and seemed well aware that the Irishman was not a fan of hugs, writing on X: "I did it for all of us." There will be no such misunderstandings on Sunday as FA Cup winners Crystal Palace take on Premier League Champions Liverpool in the 2025 Community Shield at Wembley. The broadcast rights have moved to TNT Sports, meaning ITV will not show the fixture and Keane and Wright will therefore not be on punditry duty. The clash marks Palace's first appearance in the annual fixture, which has been a staple of the football calendar for nearly 120 years. Arne Slot's side, meanwhile, have lifted the shield 16 times. Both teams will look to begin their respective seasons on the right track ahead of next weekend's Premier League 2025/26 season openers. Liverpool have bolstered their squad by spending around £265million on new signings in the summer transfer window, which could shoot up to £400m if they manage to secure Alexander Isak. Meanwhile, Palace have been disappointing in the transfer window while they await their European fate after appealing their demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League.
