Emmerdale fans left fuming as they point out huge Robert Sugden blunder
The character, played by Ryan Hawley, made a surprise comeback to the ITV soap opera when he was briefly released from prison.

But instead of checking in for a probation hearing, he instead decided to storm his ex Aaron's wedding to his brother John Sugden.
He begged Aaron to get back with him and the pair even shared a tender kiss before Aaron told him to back off and that his heart lied with John and went through with his wedding.
Amid a showdown, Robert was later arrested and sent straight back to prison for violating the terms of his early release.
It later emerged that Aaron reported him as he confessed he could not trust himself knowing Robert was out there.
In the latest episode of the ITV soap opera, fans were left complaining however, as they called out a huge blunder with Robert's prison stint.
They were left baffled to realise he had been able to see three visitors across two days - including two on the same day.
Having seen Victoria, the following day he was able to secure two last-minute visits.
One in the morning with his ex-husband Aaron and then another in the afternoon with John.
Picking up on this unrealistic occurrence, one fan wrote online: "How can Robert have 3 visitors in 2 days? Surely it doesn't work like this #Emmerdale."
Someone else penned: "Ffs how many visiting orders does Robert get."
Another highlighted the truth of the real jail system as they wrote: "How are they getting to visit Robert every day , real life your lucky to get once a month and definitely not three separate people."
The comments did not stop there as they soon continued to flood in with one penning: "How many visits is Robert allowed?
Before someone else quipped: "Victoria visiting the easiest prison in Britain to get a VO for."

Emmerdale airs Aaron and Robert reunion in ITVX release and reveals their future
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed (time and time again if you're a fan of the characters we're about to mention) on ITVX. Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) have briefly reunited in Emmerdale, and it's very possible they're going to do it again in the future. When Robert returned to the village earlier this year, he tried to stop Aaron's wedding to his distant brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Outside, Robert admitted that he still had feelings for Aaron, and they shared a kiss. Aaron felt that his future was with John though, which meant he had to put his connection with Robert to the back of his mind. As a result of this and not wanting to make John jealous, Aaron has tried to keep his distance, but that was impossible in today's episode. On Friday, John orchestrated a situation that made Robert shout at their nephew Harry. John had asked the young lad to play his toy drum around Robert, knowing the loud banging would trigger him. The plan worked in John's favour, because Robert snapped and scared the boy. John arrived right on time and hugged Harry, acting like the hero once more. With Harry out of the room, John made a great effort to tell Robert that his behaviour is totally unpredictable. John used this to his advantage again by telling Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) all about it. She confronted her brother in the latest instalment of the ITV soap, saying that she can no longer leave Harry alone with him. Prior to this, John had handed Robert a business card for a therapist but as far as he was concerned, Robert was beyond help. John twisted the knife in further by calling Robert a waste of space so when Vic confronted him, her words made him spiral even more. Unleashing his emotions, Robert completely trashed his bedroom. He ripped shirts up, smashed mugs, and very nearly hit Aaron with a vase, who had arrived after hearing the commotion outside. Aaron managed to calm Robert down. A while later, he spoke about his time in prison and how he's now accepted it has impacted him more than he realised. Robert and Aaron, dubbed Robron by fans, kissed shortly after this conversation. They ended up in bed together, and neither of them really wanted to leave, basking in the glow and enjoying the quiet, safe environment. As they chatted, Aaron missed a call from John, and failed to realise that he was outside the house. John was chatting to Vic, but neither of them entered due to other distractions. Back in the bedroom, Aaron and Robert chatted. They concluded that thinking about the sex and their chemistry wasn't the main priority now, because they are both living complicated lives. But, unlike Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), there was a little bit of hope. 'God knows I've made you wait', Robert said. 'It's my turn to be patient'. Aaron put his hand on Robert's shoulder. They didn't really say much, but they didn't need to. It's obvious the connection they have still hasn't dissipated.

Can you solve it? Are you a matcha for these tasty Japanese puzzles?
Japan is a world puzzle superpower. Its grid logic puzzles – like Sudoku, Kakuro, KenKen and many more – are played across the world by millions every day. The country also has its own culture of mathematical puzzles, nurtured by the Academy of Recreational Mathematics, Japan, which was founded in 1979. Today's problems are by Yoshiyuki Kotani, a founder member of the Academy and a professor of engineering at Tokyo University. They are taken from his new book, Tasty Japanese Morsels in Recreational Mathematics. 1. Squid game Two octopuses will face off in a boxing match. Each octopus requires eight gloves. (There is no distinction between left and right gloves.) The rules of octopus boxing stipulate that an octopus must only wear gloves of the same colour. There is a bag containing 16 red gloves and 16 green gloves. Find the minimum number of gloves that must be drawn at random from the bag to guarantee that the colours of the gloves of the two octopuses are (a) the same. (b) different. (c) either the same or different. 2. Sum-o wrestling. The diagram below represents a multiplication in which all but two of the digits have been replaced by stars. Reconstruct the computation. 3. Another boxing puzzle A restaurant uses 4 × 4 and 5 × 5 Bento boxes each divided into exactly eight square sections, as shown in the diagram below The chef has asked you to create Bento boxes with rectangular boxes. Each Bento must still have eight square sections, even though, as in the example, the square sections do not have to be all of the same size. Design a 4 × 6 Bento box, a 3 × 9 Bento box, and a 5 × 6 Bento box. I'll be back at 5pm UK. PLEASE NO SPOILERS. Please discuss your favourite Japanese things. Tasty Japanese Morsels in Recreational Mathematics by Yoshiyuki Kotani s published by the American Mathematical Association. All the diagrams above are taken from the book. I've been setting a puzzle here on alternate Mondays since 2015. I'm always on the look-out for great puzzles. If you would like to suggest one, email me. PS: Might anyone with computer skills be able to help me create a web page for a puzzle that involves dragging shapes around the screen? I hope to use the puzzle in a future column. If you think you can help, email me.

Peter Andre's son Theo asks heartbreaking question amid Princess 'feud'
Peter Andre has revealed that his eight-year-old son Theo asked him a tough question during a family holiday last week, amid the 'feud' between him and ex-wife Katie Price. Peter Andre has revealed that his son Theo, eight, put him on the spot last week during their family holiday with a heart-breaking question. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, took to his weekly New! Magazine column to share an update after his trip to Cyprus with wife Emily MacDonagh and their children, revealing how Theo asked if they could move abroad permanently. The request comes as Peter has been hitting the headlines this week for his strained relationship with ex-wife Katie Price, after their daughter Princess took to the screen with her own ITV show - which Katie claims to be blocked out of by Peter and his management team. While Princess Andre recently declared she's 'independent' from parents as she broke her silence amid the row. Taking his mind off of the drama, Peter said of his holiday: "We're home from beautiful Cyprus and life is back to normal. It's always incredible spending time with the family, especially in our Cyprus home because they have been going there since they were babies. It actually got too hot because there was a heatwave and it knocked us for six – even I struggled with it. But Theo in particular was very sad to leave and, as always, asked if we could stay or even move there." "Sadly, life doesn't always work like that and school is starting again soon! But he'll be counting the days until we can return – hopefully when it's a bit cooler." Peter shares Theo, Amelia and Arabella with his wife Emily, and eldest children Princess and Junior with Katie. While he kept quiet on the recent controversy surrounding Princess, he did share in the column how proud he is of the 18-year-old. "I'm extremely proud of Princess and her show. I think she's absolutely smashed it. She's come across just how she is and how we know her to be – funny, quirky and kind. The response to The Princess Diaries has been phenomenal," he said.

Hopefully, she can do season two, three, four – whatever she wants to do– and soar like an eagle because she's a great kid and I'm so proud of her." While Katie often talks publicly about her children and ex Peter, the latter often stays silent on his former marriage. However, after Katie claimed on a recent podcast that their children live with her, amid other accusations, Peter took to Instagram with a statement. He wrote: "For 16 years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.' "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.' He added, 'I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' He went on to state that the courts found Katie 'had made false claims' on two separate occasions, in 2011 and 2015, and that 'she was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management'. In a parting shot, Peter implied this was just the start of his fight-back, writing that her 'baseless accusations' would be 'dealt with in the coming months'.
