Fresh horror for The Six in EastEnders as destructive report set to be filed
18 months on from Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) death, the women are once again fearing that they'll end up behind bars.
As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu with a meat thermometer to prevent him throttling best mate Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).
Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) then helped the ladies to conceal the murder, burying his body under the caff.
Eventually, twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) went to his grave with authorities believing that he was the one who committed the crime.
But that wasn't before the grizzly truth was revealed to Keanu's grieving sister Bernie (Clair Norris).
In the months that followed – now trustee of the Panesar business empire – she swindled the family out of thousands, placing fake invoices for repairs to their GP practice.
It wasn't long after Vicki began some accountancy work on Bernie's behalf that her dodgy dealings were exposed.
She threatened to tell the Panesars what Bernie was up to, unless she coughed up half of the cash so that she could pay off her debts to sister Sharon and ensure she had a roof over her head.
Bernie reluctantly went along with the plan, but then turned the tables by framing Vicki.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) knew that something suspicious was afoot after threatening Vicki and her partner's son Joel Marshall (Max Murray), and planted spyware in Bernie's laptop.
The technology proved what she was up to – but before he could stop her, she fled to Spain.

In upcoming scenes, Vicki meets with her aunty Kath' to discuss her problems, and says that she's considering reporting Bernie to the police.
Now, as you can imagine, the last thing The Six need is further questioning and Bernie wouldn't hesitate to spill the truth if trouble came her way again.
Desperate to find a resolution to their problems, Kathy calls Sharon to convince her to let Vicki stay put.

Scenic town where King Charles enjoyed fish and chips named Scotland's top coastal view
The town was ranked fourth in a UK poll for its stunning harbour and scenic coastal views A new study has named the scenic harbour town of Portree, on the Isle of Skye, as the location with the finest coastal view in Scotland. Ranked fourth overall in a national poll commissioned by Haven Holidays, Portree's picture-perfect harbour, colourful seafront and dramatic backdrop secured its spot among the most breathtaking coastal scenes in the UK. Portree is the largest settlement on Skye and is known for its charming pastel-painted buildings that line the waterfront, as well as its peaceful harbour, nestled beneath steep cliffs, Scottish Daily Express reports. The view from the quay stretches across Loch Portree towards Ben Tianavaig, a 413-metre hill classed as a "Marilyn" for its prominence. From its ridge, visitors often spot golden eagles or sea eagles soaring overhead in the blue Highland skies. The nationwide survey asked 2,000 people to name the most stunning seaside locations across Britain. Cornwall's St Ives took the top spot, followed by Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, and Padstow, also in Cornwall. Tenby in South West Wales completed the top five behind Portree, whose inclusion in the list cements its reputation as one of the country's most beautiful and tranquil coastal spots. In September 2021, King Charles and Queen Camilla experienced the view for themselves during a visit to the town, where they enjoyed fish and chips from local fisherman Dan Corrgiall's harbourside shop. The royal couple, dressed in traditional tartan, were serenaded by Gaelic singer Robert Robertson, lead vocalist of folk-rock band Tide Lines. 'It just felt like a really nice conversation, and it was a real pleasure,' he recalled of meeting them. Simon Palethorpe, chief executive of Haven, said: 'You don't need to go far from home to get picture postcard views and scenery. "There's nothing better than starting and ending your day with a sunrise and sunset view over the sea, even more so when it's on home soil. Brits are still so surprised by the breathtaking coastline we have in the UK.' The poll also revealed that coastal surroundings remain a top priority for holidaymakers.

Some 87 per cent of respondents said a seaside setting was important when booking a staycation, with most willing to travel an average of 159 miles from home to reach it comfortably. In addition, 85 per cent of those surveyed said they would happily pay more to stay somewhere with a sea view. Relaxation (60%) and a sense of escapism (36%) were the top reasons given for choosing coastal locations, with many citing the mental and physical health benefits of being near the sea. According to the survey data, more than two thirds of people believe that the coastal views found across Britain easily rival those abroad.

Fiona Bruce's prime-time BBC series makes comeback and it's 'full of twists'
A hit BBC One series is due to return to TV screens in a matter of days, with Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould set to team up as hosts The beloved BBC series Fake or Fortune? is gearing up for its 13th outing, with Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould at the helm. The art investigation programme is set to grace our screens once more on BBC One, featuring Antiques Roadshow 's Fiona alongside art expert Philip as they embark on a fresh quest through a new trove of artworks. Produced by BBC Studios Entertainment Productions, this season promises an unprecedented twist: revisiting previous artworks to discover their fates since first appearing on the show. The dynamic duo will be exploring pieces linked to illustrious figures such as Churchill, Renoir, and Frances Hodgkins. The season kicks off on Monday, 21 July, with carer and budding art collector Barry joining as a special guest, reports the Express. In the opening episode, Barry brings a painting he snagged at a Sussex antiques fair, which bears a clue on its reverse suggesting it was crafted by Winston Churchill in June 1916 at Herstmonceux Castle. Together, they delve into the mystery of whether Churchill truly painted it and what value it might hold. Art dealer Philip, who also co-created Fake or Fortune?, expressed his excitement about the new series, stating: "Each series of Fake or Fortune? continues to surprise me with the unique challenges and complexities involved in authenticating art. "Breakthroughs in information retrieval and forensic science have dramatically broadened the scope of our research and the resources available to us, making the procedure more thorough—and more captivating—than ever before. It's been an absolute delight encountering the contributors featured in this newest series; the stakes and emotions have never been more intense. Viewers are in for a genuine treat with these investigations." Meanwhile, journalist Fiona, best known for fronting Antiques Roadshow, remarked: "As always, our investigations in this series have been full of twists and the most unexpected turns. With some of the biggest names in the art world, the outcomes have been potentially life changing for the owners. "From an unloved picture hidden in a cupboard to one picked up by chance as part of a job lot at auction, the series continues to uncover hidden treasures." Robert Murphy, Series Editor at BBC Studios Entertainment Productions, commented: "Audiences are in for a rollercoaster ride with the intriguing new cases in our thirteenth series. "It's always a pleasure to bring new works of art to the screen and to explore how the art world is changing at rapid speed due to technological advances. It takes a heady mix of investigative research, forensic science and art world politics and to solve these puzzles - and with forgers lurking in the shadows, there is always a risk that a fabulous treasure might not be quite all that it seems." The latest series of Fake or Fortune? comprises six episodes, with each one showcasing a fresh investigation.

The Epping unrest proves far-right violence never went away
My heart raced. I kept hearing sounds that weren't there. Getting out of bed, I peered out of the window, looking for any unfamiliar noise or lights. Nothing. I climbed back into bed and stared at the ceiling; while images of people lighting fires and attacking people of colour on the streets flooded my mind. The UK race riots – which saw thousands of fascists take to the streets to intimidate and attack immigrants – brought on these kinds of feelings in the summer of 2024. But this was happening to me last night. My anxiety had peaked and I was terrified again. Yesterday, I read the news that far right, anti-immigration protestors had taken to the streets in Epping, Essex, outside of a hotel housing asylum seekers and they had become violent. Last year, it didn't take long before the riots that initially began in Southport following the murder of three young girls there, went nationwide, and so, of course, I panicked. After an immigrant was detained in Epping for alleged sex offences, days after arriving in the UK, which he denied in court on July 10 – protestors gathered outside of the accommodation that they believed housed him for demonstrations over a number of days. Last night, anti-racist organisation, Stand Up to Racism, heard about far-right elements in the group and formed a counter-protest, meeting them outside of the hotel with placards. Then chaos ensued. Fireworks were reportedly used in the crowds, eggs were thrown at people and even the police were assaulted. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It was almost a perfect, and chilling, echo of last year's riots. When stabbings in a Southport dance studio saw the murder of three children and a further ten injured, by 17 year old Axel Rudakubana, far-right agitators organised and caused hell. Last year, living in Hounslow – a heavily immigrant borough – I was terrified. Reports of riots entering my area came flooding in via social media. Friends and family who lived nearby texted me in a panic of misinformation, via forwarded WhatsApp messages. One claimed that Hounslow was completely taken over by fascists. Another said local boys were sitting around the town center holding baseball bats. We were all tense. My anxiety was deepened with the silence that enveloped me in my empty house and I twitched at every creak, as I waited for the windows to crash in with hordes of angry racist mobs not far behind. My dad texted me 'We lived through NF (National Front), same again', and told me not to leave the house. But I felt infuriated. Under the anxiety a stubborn frustration bubbled, and I realised I wasn't scared of them, but of how they have controlled me. So I left the house; quietly grinding my teeth, my eyes shifting, sweat forming all over my body. And just like that I was back home, triumphant in having taken a bus to the shops. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video But that frustration never really left. Because deep down, I knew things would forever feel terrifying. A friend confessed to me a month later that she was attacked during the riots and had been house-bound since, too terrified to walk outside. It took months for her to start to recover, but she still looks over her shoulder when she's alone. The guise under which the far-right have used to attack migrants – the protection of women and girls – is hypocritical, because it is the women around me who have been hurt. A year on, I can't shake the feeling that the far-right are running the exact same playbook. And they have been emboldened to continue by the action of some politicians, and the inaction of others. At least one local Reform councillor joined demonstrators yesterday in Epping, with another quoted as saying 'they're trying to dilute the Englishness out of us.' Meanwhile, the Conservative leader of Epping Council and two local Tory MPs have called for the migrant hotel to be shut down, a key demand of rioters. There have been no words on the Essex unrest from Keir Starmer either – instead, he is busy tweeting about how he is actively working to stop migrants from entering the country and how 'angry' small boat crossings make him. It was only two months ago that Starmer referred to current levels of immigration as causing 'incalculable damage'. More Trending Even after the riots last year, at Labour conference in September, he didn't make an explicit link between the riots and rising anti-migrant rhetoric – instead, he refuted it, saying he would 'never accept the argument … that millions of people concerned about immigration are one and the same thing as people who smashed up businesses'. Meanwhile, many of us are living in fear again. In fact, we never stopped. I look into the eyes of people I walk past in the street and wonder whether they want me gone. I wonder if they would happily attack me, and that no one will save me. These riots, I fear, are now becoming common-place. And while people of colour and immigrants have always persisted against fascism, we need our government to support us, instead of adding to the fear. We can't live like this forever.
