Wedding news for major Coronation Street couple as the big day grows near
Dev left his beloved corner shop in the hands of his son Aadi (Adam Hussain) while he was away, and it turns out that the young entrepreneur isn't going to be winning any businessman of the year awards any time soon.
In fact on his watch the business has run up £12k of debts.
Not wanting to admit to his dad that he made a mess of things, Aadi staged a robbery, getting Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to pretend to steal cash from the shop so he could claim on the insurance.
Bernie quickly realised there was something suspicious about this 'robbery,' and under pressure Aadi admitted what was going on. For the sake of Aadi's relationship with Dev and Brody's with Kit (Jacob Roberts), Bernie agreed not to go to the police.
When Dev, newly arrived back in Weatherfield, hears about the robbery he's sympathetic and reassures Aadi that the most important thing is that he's safe. He says he did the right thing by handing the money over and not risking himself by trying any heroics.
Aadi responds that at least the insurance company have confirmed that they'll cover the loss. Again, eagle-eyed Bernie notices that Aadi looks shifty and she realises he's not telling the truth. Aadi admits to her that he missed an insurance payment and they aren't covered for the fake robbery. They won't get a penny.

Bernie tries to think of a solution to this problem, and a plan neatly presents itself when Dev tells her that one of his aunts is giving the £25k towards their wedding. More Trending
After all, Dev doesn't do weddings on the cheap as anyone who recalls his 2004 wedding to Sunita (Shobna Gulati), when he arrived on a white horse, will know.
Realising this sum would nicely plug the gap that Aadi has created, Bernie makes a suggestion that they should bring the wedding forward.

Will Dev agree? And would he still agree if he knew what was behind Bernie's apparent keenness to tie the knot at the earliest opportunity?

Sir Tom Jones, 85, makes triumphant return to the stage after suffering illness
Sir Tom Jones has returned to the stage a week after being forced to cancel a show due to health issues. Last week the singer, 85, announced he was unable to perform in Bremen, Germany due to an upper respiratory infection. At the time he explained he 'needed treatment and rest', also apologising to fans for the 'disappointment and inconvenience'. A few days after the cancellation, Sir Tom had been due to headline a festival at the Dundee Waterfront this weekend. However, the organiser of Discovery Festival was confident the show would go on as planned, saying: 'We have no concerns ahead of Tom Jones' show on Sunday, July 27.' Their reassurances were luckily correct, with the crooner recovering in time to be able to delight fans at the event last night. Photos and videos from the festival show Sir Tom – best known for hits including It's Not Unusual, Sexbomb and Delilah – looking fighting fit, standing up on stage and swinging as he sung. Posting a clip on X, fan Anne Marie wrote: 'Tom Jones in Dundee yesterday, just wow! 85yrs old and he still has it.' Sir Tom's cancelled show had been part of his Defy Explanation tour, which kicked off in June and is set to run until the end of August with dates across the UK and Europe. During a recent show at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, he joked: 'Is my voice still working? Yes? So as long as it's here, I'm here.' Last year, Sir Tom told Metro the only way he would retire would be if he completely lost his voice. 'I wouldn't like to shortchange an audience, 'he said. Being old, you can't do what you used to do. 'I mean, I can't walk around like I used to, but I wouldn't want to now. When you're young you're full of p*** and vinegar and you're giving it plenty. Now I concentrate more on singing than I do anything else.' After releasing It's Not Unusual in 1965, the following year Sir Tom won best new artist at the Grammy Awards. More Trending Throughout his career, he's sold over 100 million records, with 36 Top 40 hits in the UK and 19 in the US. He also won an MTV Video Music Award in 1989, two Brit Awards: best British male in 2000 and outstanding contribution to music in 2003 and got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989. In 1998 Sir Tom was awarded an OBE, before being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 for services to music. Got a story?

Alan Ford's most legendary roles as gangster icon stars in Mr Bigstuff season 2
Alan Ford, 87, is best known for his role as Brick Top in Guy Ritchie's Snatch and has since gone on to star in a number of TV and film projects. Mr Bigstuff returns to Sky with Danny Dyer and Ryan Sampson resuming their portrayals of feuding siblings Lee and Glen. The second series has welcomed some remarkable guest appearances, featuring Coronation Street icon Rula Lenska as the quirky and flirtatious Rita. Viewers were equally delighted by the EastEnders reunion that saw Dyer and Linda Henry share the screen again, with Henry adopting the character of Pam. Among the guest performers for Mr Bigstuff's second series is Alan Ford, an 87 year old thespian hailing from Camberwell, London. The eldest child of a dressmaker and cab driver, Ford was raised in Elephant and Castle. Upon departing school at 15, he undertook numerous positions before completing two years of national service with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. He secured a role as one of the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451, subsequently gaining admission to East 15 Acting School for a three-year programme, reports the Manchester Evening News. The performer is most recognised for his parts in Guy Ritchie's criminal underworld films Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. In 2024 he became part of the EastEnders ensemble as Billy Mitchell's (Perry Fenwick) alienated father Stevie, whilst the Mitchell clan braced themselves to bid farewell to Aunt Sal (Anna Karen). The actor's cinematic journey has featured him delivering some legendary performances, with his portrayal of Brick Top in Snatch standing as one of the most unforgettable. Admirers posted footage of the character on a Facebook group titled Classic TV Moments, describing the performer as an "absolute legend". One admirer chimed in: "Alan made Snatch a great film, I would love to sit and have a pint with him!". Another fan expressed: "Brilliant character. Brought to life by Mr Ford." A third echoed: "One of the best British gangster roles ever played. Watch it time and time again hits the same every time. Funny as f***." He also had a memorable part as the cabbie in An American Werewolf in London, where he famously comments on the murders around London, uttering the iconic line: "It puts you in mind of the days of the old demon barber of Fleet Street, doesn't it?"
