Two Emmerdale icons arrested as vicious new feud explodes
Ruby then witnesses something she'd rather not see, and it cements the fact that the feisty fiercely protective Ruby we haven't seen of late is set to make a comeback. Ruby is like a tiger mum when it comes to her family, and Manpreet finds herself on the wrong side of that.
Caleb (William Ash) is grateful as Ruby offers to cover him at the depot, but though she's got work to do, she can't help herself but go and confront Manpreet about what she saw.
Manpreet is mortified at the confrontation and later responds by showing up at the depot to turn it back on Ruby.
Ruby is unbothered but Manpreet refuses to not be heard and makes her point by dramatically and somewhat dangerously hijacking a forklift.
She holds the forklift hostage and refuses to get off until Ruby hears her out. More Trending
Ruby couldn't be less bothered when Manpreet tries to get her interest by bringing up her awful affair with Cain (Jeff Hordley), but Manpreet has Ruby's full attention when she utters the S word – Steph.

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, 41, looks slimmer than ever as she shows off her physique in a patterned bikini during family trip to Greece
Natalie Cassidy appeared to be in the shape of her life while showcasing her slender frame during a lavish family holiday to Crete on Sunday. The actress, 41, best known for her role as the trumpet playing Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest trip. Natalie looked incredible as she sunbathed in a green and cream two piece bikini during the idyllic summer break. In another snap, the actress can be seen enjoying some personal time in the pool with her fiancé, cameraman Marc Humphreys. She appeared to be in top spirits during her sunny trip as she shared a smiley selfie while wearing a pair of tinted sunglasses and a white beach dress. Natalie appeared smitten in her post as she lovingly gazed at Marc while they enjoyed an Aperol Spritz. The actress best known for her role as the trumpet playing Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest trip Alongside her album, she penned: ' Crete. 10 days of pure family time. UNO, clear seas, gorgeous people and beautiful food. 'I love you all so much and feel so blessed. NOT AN AD AT ALL NO DISCOUNTS NO NOTHING but thank you to @_oliverstravels_ as the villa and everything about this break were fabulous. Would recommend them for a trip.' Natalie has recently bagged herself a brand new job at Virgin Radio, ahead of her long-awaited exit from EastEnders after three decades. She has starred as Sonia Fowler on the popular BBC One soap for 32 years, first appearing in 1993 when she was just 10 years old. However, she announced she would be bidding goodbye to Albert Square for good in January after returning last year for the 40th anniversary, with her final scenes set to air on the show on Thursday's episode. But it seems she's already made huge strides with her post-EastEnders career, taking to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal she's taking to the airwaves with her own Easter show. Speaking from the Virgin Radio studios, Natalie told fans that she would be hosting a special one-off show on Easter Monday from 1pm until 4pm. She already has won many fans with her foray into the podcast world with Off The Telly, which she hosts with Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page. Natalie appeared smitten in her post as she lovingly gazed at Marc while they enjoyed an Aperol Spritz Natalie has recently bagged herself a brand new job at Virgin Radio, ahead of her long-awaited exit from EastEnders after three decade Ahead of the show, the soap star explained that she was trying to 'branch out' this year and be 'brave', as she gushed she was 'honoured' to get the opportunity. Natalie said: 'I'm very excited. This year I'm trying to branch out and do brave things, and this is one of them. 'I feel very honoured to have been given a chance on Virgin Radio. I'm a very big fan of the station and music in general. 'So to actually come in and do my own show feels very daunting, but there's a first time for everything.' She added: 'I would love to play Oasis for my first show, just a track, because I love them to pieces. Amy Winehouse is always a good one as well. Valerie, it's a karaoke family classic.' While Dennie Morris, Director of Audio at News Broadcasting said: 'It's an honour to welcome national treasure Natalie Cassidy to Virgin Radio for this special show – and I'm delighted she's such a big fan of the station.' The exciting news comes just one day before EastEnders viewers will have to say farewell to Sonia, with her exit from Walford being shown in the next episode. It will see her father Terry Cant (Glen Davies), return to the Square to invite her and her newborn daughter Julia to go live with him in Bali. Natalie first joined EastEnders in 1993 and remained on the show until 2007, but made returns in 2010 and again last year. It's not the first time she has branched out beyond Albert Square in her career, previously using her breaks from the show to star in theatre productions of The Vagina Monologues and Bedroom Farce. She also released a fitness DVD Natalie Cassidy's Then and Now Workout in 2007 and appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012. After announcing her departure, she admitted she was 'extremely sad' about the decision to move on and that she would 'never forget' the show. In a statement given to The Sun, she said: 'I feel extremely sad to be writing this, but also very excited. After another 11 solid years back on The Square, I have decided it's time to move on to pastures new. 'EastEnders is in my bones so I will never forget where I started my career and I will continue to love the show. 'Thank you to Chris Clenshaw for the opportunity to be such a big part of the 40th anniversary – it's an honour. See ya, Sonia, going but never forgotten.' However, she admitted in March that the door has not been permanently closed for Sonia, with the writers allowing the possibility of her making a return. During an appearance on Saturday Kitchen, Natalie confirmed she had not been written out permanently, adding: 'I'm very, very grateful that the door's been left open. You never know. But it's nice to rest characters as well.' Reflecting on her long association with the soap, she said: 'Sonia's been around since 1993. People have grown up with her. It's nice to have a rest.' Referencing her previous eight-year break from the show, she quipped: 'Who knows, maybe another eight years now'. She also spoke about life in the public eye, saying fame was never something she actively pursued, but has become her normal after landing the role of Sonia at 10.

I followed a dusty path in Ibiza and found the island's most iconic hotel
Metro Checks In to Pikes Ibiza, an institution of the infamous 'White Isle' that is as famous for its Sunday roast and A-list DJ sets as its juicy history. There's a lot to say about Ibiza and its contradictions. On one hand, the island is a blissful escape from modern life, with its beautiful beaches and Instagrammable landscapes. On the other, it has bone-shaking beats and mega clubs, pool parties and, as of this month, Ibiza Final Boss vibes. But there is one place that strikes the right balance of party and peace. I am talking, of course, about Pikes, an Ibiza institution that sits in the countryside, just beyond the buzzing 24/7 town of San Antonio at the end of a 500m-long rubble-filled path. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. At a glance, the entrance suggests 'unassuming and rustic' – after all, it used to be a 15th-century finca – and offers little clue to what awaits inside. The brainchild of island legend Tony Pike, who opened it in 1980 and lived there as a guest until he died in 2019, the venue has long been a much-discussed 'must-visit' for a night out on the White Isle. While there's no doubt it's chaotically charged fun once the sun goes down, by day, this boutique hotel comes to life in a very different way – as I discovered on a recent trip. Walking through the beautifully kept gardens with the hot Ibiza sun beating on my back, a clutter of well-looked-after cats slink around me. One of them, Romana – said to be the Queen of Pikes – sits regally in reception. At check in we're met by our hostess Audrey, who shows us to our room and delivers us to the iconic poolside area, which featured in Wham's Club Tropicana video. We're told that all new arrivals get a free welcome cocktail from the bar – aptly named Club Tropicana – and we're handed an ice-cold paloma. As birds chirp in the trees and the poolside DJ gets to work, there's no escaping that this place is a world away from the super-size hotels that have infiltrated the island. Huge day beds are dotted across the tiles of the multi-level terraces surrounding the pool, and there's enough for everyone — no sunbed wars here. Once we settle in, it's hard to move again. To be fair it's only a few steps to the pool for a dip, but with friendly staff on hand to take drink orders, find you some shade or simply have a chat, there's really no need to do anything else. It's a friendliness that extends between guests, as conversations about last night's DJ to today's plans dance through the air. The hotel boasts an A-list guestbook, from Kylie Minogue to Rita Ora and the Blessed Madonna, while DJs such as Fatboy Slim, David Guetta and Roger Sanchez have graced the decks. Freddie Mercury was also regular, even throwing his infamous 41st birthday party at the hotel. He always stayed in the Marrakech Suite, which has since been turned into a tiny club called Freddie's in his honour. With such big names hanging about it is easy to assume that everyone will look like a superstar, but the reality is – and maybe due to Pikes over-27 'rule' – guests come in all shapes and sizes. Everyone is welcome. In fact, there's only one thing that might get someone turned away, hostess Audrey confides. 'If they're a c***', she says matter of factly. Being a guest means you get to see Pikes in all its glorious daytime technicolour. In the Plaza Mayor, disco balls sparkle and specks of light dance off them onto the garish pink walls and eye-popping fuschia, violet and magenta flowers. There's 26 rooms in total and we're staying in one of the Garden Junior Suites, where a black and white picture of Debbie Harry hangs on the wall and bottles of fancy tequila sit next to the mini bar. It's sleek, comfy and cool. Outside there's a fully mod-con bath, just in case you fancy a soak in the sunshine. The doors are soundproof, so once you've had enough, you can easily switch off for the night. At breakfast, coffee is poured into a Pikes mug that sits on every table. As it flows, my server smiles and says 'life is good, eh'. While a few decades ago the food might have been hit and miss, Pikes is now known as a place to eat as well as party. Portion-sizes are generous – there's no chance of going hungry. The Sunday roast is almost as famous as some of its guests. With prices starting at €28 for the vegan and €32 for the meat version – which are all served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, mixed greens, roast carrots and parsnips with agave syrup and gravy – it's so delicious, it's worth every penny. As you explore, you can see that every corner is a nod to the legacy of Pikes. There's the uber-Instagrammable pink tennis court from the 80s, complete with giant rollerboot. Then there's the tiny bathroom just along from Freddies, with a tub filled with balls ready for some merriment. I've partied in there and it's just as much fun, if not more, as any other superclub on the Isle. There are nooks and crannies to explore and hang out in, from the easily missed Potting Shed to a place where you can have a singalong while someone plays Freddie Mercury's piano. Plus, the club's no photo policy means that you can let your hair down without fear the morning after. The best bit though? More Trending As a guest of the hotel, when you're done there are no taxi dramas or fears of fomo, as you can just head back to your rooms (and then go back out again if the desire takes you). Of course, staying at a place like this isn't cheap. But if you ask me, it's worth it. So many people we met were repeat Pikes guests, booking up well in advance. Plus, I learned, if you happen to order a drink while the poolside DJ plays Club Tropicana, you'll get it for free. (Think about it.) Claie Wilson was a guest of Pikes Ibiza. Rooms at Pike's start from €229 per night for a 'Pikes Room' and €389 for a Garden Suite. Breakfast included. For exclusive offers, customers can sign up to the Pikes newsletter here.

Inside the life and home of south London's most notorious brothel keeper
Neighbours of a house once owned by the notorious Madam Cynthia Payne says she helped put their suburban enclave 'on the map'- and even helped to drive up house prices. The large property in Ambleside Avenue, Streatham in south London, was turned into luxury flats in 2021 but was once a hotbed of vice – with Payne hosting a cast of characters reportedly including a peer of the realm, barristers, ex police officers bank managers and priests. Despite being well-known among her clients and locals in the area for a number of years, it wasn't until 1978 when she shot into the spotlight after police raided her home while a sex party was in progress. During a trial in 1980, a court heard that Payne had been charging her elite clientele £25, which was exchanged for a 'luncheon voucher' – a token that entitled the bearer to have sex with women provided by Payne. Madam Cyn, as she was known, was convicted of running a disorderly house at her trial in 1980 and ended up serving four months in Holloway prison after her 18 month sentence was reduce to a fine and a six-month jail term. She was released on August 17 1980, 45 years ago today, and was pictured leaving the prison giving photographers the v sign – which she said was 'V for voucher, v for victory' – with her pet dog Sandy. Cynthia went on to become a TV personality, and was regularly seen sitting on the sofas of chat shows, including the Dame Edna Experience. Her life was also turned into two films, with Julie Walters portraying a character based on her in the 1987 film Personal Services, and the 1987 film Wish You Were Here, which was based on her childhood growing up on the Sussex coast. She later died in November 2015 aged 82, with the house in Ambleside Road fetching in the region of £1 million when it was sold and converted into six flats, later put on the market at around £399,000 each. Despite the notoriety of the house, the current residents told Metro they were in debt to Payne for giving the area an identity. Folashade Alade told Metro: 'She is very famous around here. I remember when it was her funeral. Obviously she had an interesting life and put the area on the map. Everyone knows about her and is interested in the house. 'I remember going to renew a passport at the passport office in Victoria and the man who was processing the documents saw the address and said excitedly 'Ah, you live next door to Cynthia Payne!' 'It's her who this area is known for, it's incredible. We were all very sad when she died.' Enrique Viana, 43, a statistician, said: 'I'm originally from Spain but I heard of Cynthia Payne from the film about her. Now I live here and it's a lot of fun that I'm in the area where she was. 'Everyone knows about it and it is a bit of London history. I think it's good for the area – I tell all my friends about it. 'It's an expensive area now with character, I'm sure she helped it become somewhere special.' A resident of one of the newly-converted flats in the former brothel added: 'It's nothing like it was inside but you do get tourists having a look from the outside. It's a bit of fun and London life.' Locals said Cynthia used to drink in local called Pratts & Payne, on Streatham High Road, which has now closed. There is no family connection but she was a well known face there. One neighbour said: 'Cynthia used to go there. I don't know if it was because of the name but she was a regular and I'm sure had many tales to keep regulars amused.' Following her death, her funeral saw mourners dressed in French maid outfits, policemen while her coffin was decorated with flowers spelling out 'SEX'. Patrick Littlemore, chief executive of Marsh & Parsons, marketed the new flats built at Payne's former home and emphasised the history of the impressive detached building. More Trending At the time, he said: 'It's fair to say that this building has a somewhat colourful past but that said, who wouldn't want to live in a home with history? 'These newly refurbished apartments have been finished to an incredibly high standard with interiors that are a far cry from their questionable décor of the seventies – and prospective buyers will be glad to see that there's not a red light in sight! 'We have no doubt that they will attract buyers who will enjoy living within walking distance of all the amenities that Streatham has to offer, in what has become a highly desirable area.'
