Kat chilled to the bone in EastEnders as she makes discovery about Tommy
Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) has made a chilling discovery about son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) in EastEnders.
As viewers of the BBC One soap have seen, the youngster has become entwined in a dangerous friendship with newcomer Joel Marshall (Max Murray).
He'd arrived from Australia earlier in the year alongside dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and Ross' partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), bringing with them a tonne of baggage.
And not in the literal sense!
It soon transpired that Joel had upskirted a pupil in his class, and her family had ordered him to leave the country in exchange for their silence. They'd also accepted a hefty $50,000 sum.
The teen showed no signs of changing – recording himself sleeping with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), and introducing Tommy to pornography.
More recently, Joel showed his new mate videos from an influencer, who spoke about women in a derogatory manner.
Tommy was clearly spooked by the words, and with Kat and Alfie uncovering sexually explicit videos on the family laptop, he knew that it was time to refrain from hanging around with Joel.
In yesterday's episode, he purposely skipped school so that they wouldn't have to bump into one another.
Feigning an illness, he was stunned to see Joel arrive under the pretence of being his study partner. Kat went out to work, and the lads soon began watching dodgy videos again.
Joel then branded his mum a 'slapper', and said he'd always been made to feel unwanted, especially Down Under where his new schoolmates had mocked his British accent.
Tommy told him that not everyone was like that – prompting Joel to want to explore more of London.
However, when the lads were on the tube home, he exacted yet another sex offence on a fellow passenger.

In tonight's instalment, Tommy rushed home and didn't want to open up to Kat about what had happened. She encouraged him to open up, but after making a disparaging comment about a woman's place being in the kitchen, she began to wonder if something more sinister was at play. More Trending
When she asked about Joel, Tommy stayed silent. It became obvious by his silence that her worst fears had been confirmed.
However, when she reached out to husband Alfie (Shane Richie) for help, he was nowhere to be found.
Tommy used a tracker on his dad's phone to find him, and Kat raced over. What she didn't realise was that inside the flat she was her estranged daughter Zoe (Michelle Ryan)!

Wimbledon's The Hill in New York brings free tennis watch parties and Rita Ora to NYC next month
The strawberries, scones and serve-and-volley drama of Wimbledon are crossing the pond again this July, and this time, they're bringing Rita Ora. Wimbledon's The Hill in New York is back for its fourth year, transforming Brooklyn Bridge Park into a free, weekend-long tennis garden party with a distinctly British flair—and some serious star wattage. The celebration kicks off Friday, July 11, with a sunset concert by UK pop powerhouse Rita Ora, presented by American Express. Just 5,000 lucky fans will score free tickets via online ballot, and doors open at 6 p.m. sharp. Ora, who's no stranger to Centre Court herself, will headline the waterfront stage with songs from her latest album You & I, including summer-ready banger "Ask & You Shall Receive" and her U.S. dance radio chart-topper "Praising You." 'Get ready for some heat,' Ora teased of the one-night-only show. But the real main event begins the next morning, as the park morphs into New York's own version of Wimbledon's iconic Henman Hill (a.k.a. 'The Hill')—complete with florals, white picket fences and plenty of fish and chips. Gates open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 12, and Sunday, July 13, with live broadcasts of the doubles and singles finals starting at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., respectively. After the matches, stay for 'sunset screenings' of classic Wimbledon showdowns. Presented by the All England Lawn Tennis Club, the weekend experience offers New Yorkers a chance to get a taste of the Championships without the airfare to SW19. Expect quintessential British fare, oversized screens with skyline views and all the grass-court intensity you can handle. Admission is free, but you'll need to enter the official ballot by July 1 to snag tickets. Winners will be notified on July 8, and a limited number of walk-up spots will be available on the day.

EastEnders confirms Christmas storyline as all hell breaks loose for key family
Christmas may still be six months away, but EastEnders is set to kick off a surprise festive storyline next week amid more drama for the Mitchell family. Recent weeks have seen the clan's lives as they knew them were blown apart, after it was revealed Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) murdered her son Harry's (Elijah Holloway) girlfriend Shireen. This triggered a series of explosive events that culminated in another of Nicola's big secrets being uncovered, as her youngest son Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) discovered that Zack Hudson (James Farrar) is his biological father, not Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian). While the family have tried to get back on track, Barney is still struggling with his paternity bombshell, and the stress causes him to fail a chemistry exam next week. Wanting to cheer him up, a concerned Nicola hits upon the idea of resurrecting their family 'Half Christmas' tradition, where they celebrate in June. Harry is scathing about the idea and later stirs the pot by inviting Zack along, lying that Barney wants him there. As Nicola goes all out to decorate, Teddy delivers some brutal home truths, prompting her to trash the room just as Barney and Harry arrive. The celebrations eventually get back on track, but there's a shock in store when Zack arrives. Having caused chaos, Harry revels as a furious Nicola throws Zack out, as Barney also rushes out.

Diana Ross in rare interview - 'My five children really take care of their mum'
Music legend Diana Ross opens up ahead of her hotly-anticipated UK tour about family, fashion, and why performing live is her 'life force' When it comes to dramatic entrances, there is no doubt Diana Ross reigns Supreme. Sweeping down the navy-blue carpet in an extraordinary, floor-grazing white gown, the legendary star lit up the Met Gala last month. With a feather-boa trimmed cape and hat - not to mention several assistants carrying the train up the stairs - she marked her first appearance at the fashion event for 20 years with a bang. And the Grammy-winning legend aims to make a similar splash when she takes to the stage of her UK tour next week. In a rare, exclusive interview, Diana says how fashion - and numerous dazzling costume changes - will be at the heart of the new dates. Not least, she says, because us Brits have such a keen sense of style. 'I'm really looking forward to coming to the UK...I love the country and the British people have elegance,' she explains. Diana is determined to build on the last series of shows here, which included the Queen's Platinum Jubilee concert and her unforgettable turn on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage, in 2022, as well as the Royal Albert Hall the following year. 'I'm bringing my live band and I've added an orchestra and a choir that will really make these shows almost two hours of memories, dancing, and dazzling costume changes,' she says. All of her gowns for these shows have been custom-made, with Diana personally designing each one and working with a seamstress to bring them to life. 'Fashion and music are both forms of self-expression—it's really a part of who I am and how I connect. On this tour, I want every gown and every song to reflect a spirit of being fun and elegant,' she says. 'Music and fashion go hand and hand - dressing up feels wonderful, and I want to inspire everyone coming to the shows - to do the same.' As well as fashion, family means everything to Diana too, who has five kids, and eight grandchildren. 'My family is really my greatest joy and blessing. [Eldest daughter] Rhonda travels with me on tour and will be at the shows. My five children really take care of their mum,' she says. Diana had Rhonda, 53, with Motown legend Berry Gordy in 1971. The same year, she married her first husband, music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, and they had two more daughters: Tracee, 52, and Chudney, 49. Diana split from Silberstein in 1977 and went on to marry Norwegian mountaineer Arne Naess Jr. in 1986. The former couple had sons Ross, 37, and Evan, 36. Diana says she was determined to pay homage to all her kids by sewing all their names into her Met Gala gown. 'Fashion, like music, tells a story,' she explains ' The Met Gala was a special moment for me. My son Evan and a young designer Ugo Mozie and I collaborated on the gown and cloak that I wore. We wanted something meaningful. The 18-foot train stretches across generations with the names of my adult children and grandchildren beautifully embroidered on it. It's beaded and has crystals— the details celebrate my family, and our love.' Born in Detroit's Brewster-Douglass Housing Project - America's first federally funded housing for African Americans - Diana was one of six children and grew up singing at family parties and in a Baptist church gospel choir. Her life changed forever when she met Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson and in early 1959, the three girls along with Betty McGlown, started The Primettes', an all-girl singing group. 'My love for singing became my life and my moments really gave me hope. It was the beginning of this beautiful, incredibly blessed journey,' she says. The trio auditioned for the fledgling Motown label and in January 1961, they were eventually signed as The Supremes. By 1965 they had racked up five consecutive number one hits with songs such as Baby Love and Stop! In the Name of Love. In 1967, the band's name was changed to Diana Ross and the Supremes, before Diana went solo three years later. With such a huge body of work, Diana is spoilt for choice when it comes to curating a special set-list. 'The audiences have requested songs that were big: I'm Still Waiting, Love Hangover and Chain Reaction. UK, here I come,' she says. In preparation for the shows, Diana has a few strategies to stay performance-ready including steaming her throat, drinking hot tea with honey and breathing exercises. And despite a career spanning six decades, Diana says she still gets as much of a thrill from performing live to audiences as ever. In fact, she describes it as her 'life force.' 'There is nothing more magical than performing. When I go out on stage, I feel alive. That's pure magic to me,' she says. 'Performing on stage brings me a lot of joy. It's fun for me as well as the audience. I can feel the exchange of energy with the audience as I perform. I love seeing the beautiful, happy faces from the stage. The audiences are such an important part of all my shows.' It is with them in mind that she has enlisted three of the most prestigious UK orchestras for her shows. She is performing five times with the Manchester based Hallé Orchestra, before being joined by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra for London. 'I want everyone to feel like they're part of something truly special. They are just as much a part of the shows as I am — each show is a night I hope they'll never forget. Music. Memories. And Dazzle,' she says.
