EastEnders is lining up a huge week for Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), as confirmed in my new picture gallery, when a face from the past returns.
We are, of course, referring to Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), who only recently made a departure from Albert Square alongside wife Julie (Karen Henthorn).
She arrives back without her husband – who has seemingly gone missing from their home in Scotland.
When he's found and brought back to the Mitchell residence, Phil and Julie clash once again over what is best for him.
Will they reach an agreement?
It's a big week for the Panesars, as Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) discovers she is pregnant.
After confiding in Suki (Balvinder Sopal), she realises that her family are far too preoccupied to focus on her issue.
Dad Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has been hauled in for questioning over his drug dealing, and mum Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) is forced to take serious action to conceal his activity.
Plus, when Suki discovers that son Vinny (Shiv Jalota) is attending her daughter Ash's engagement party, she's not a happy bunny.

‘Noticeable booing' – is the ‘atrocious' Elvis Evolution this summer's Willy Wonka experience?
Name: Elvis Evolution. Age: New this week. Appearance: Up to 12 shows a day at Excel London, until December. What is it? A 'first of its kind' production, according to its creators, 'celebrating the life and work of Elvis Presley.' Celebrating it how? With a 'walk-through experience' combining 'cutting-edge digital technology, live actors and musicians, mind-blowing multimedia and heart-pounding music'. So is it holograms of Elvis and that? Not exactly, no. Can you be more specific? You really have to see it to describe it, and that will set you back at least £75. At least? VIP tickets are more like £300. And what have the people who have seen it said? Different things. Like what? 'Absolutely atrocious,' was the assessment of one attender. Not quite two thumbs up, then. 'It was a shambles from start to finish, there was no Elvis; it was just a video of him that you could watch on YouTube,' a VIP ticket holder told the BBC. Oh dear. Then again, some fans seem to have really enjoyed it, with one saying she 'loved every minute'. What about the reviews? Decidedly mixed. The Telegraph gave it one star and described it as 'a limp assembly of video, actors, a live band and indifferently recreated sets'. Time Out was much more positive, giving it three stars, but also alluding to 'a noticeable amount of booing'. How do you explain the discrepancy? It appears to be a matter of expectations. When the show was announced last year, the creators, Layered Reality, suggested it would use AI and holographic projection to create a lifesize digital Elvis, leading to obvious comparisons with the hugely successful virtual reality extravaganza Abba Voyage. But it's nothing of the kind? 'We ultimately took the creative decision not to mimic Elvis's performances,' said a company spokesperson. 'Instead, we use AI to upscale archive footage.' What does that mean? Reviews suggest they have dressed up some footage from Elvis's 1968 comeback TV special and built a show around it (which includes visits to three separate themed bars selling expensive drinks). Sounds more like an escape room. Some visitors have drawn comparisons to that Willy Wonka experience fiasco in Glasgow last year. Is it really that bad? They certainly have a problem on their hands. On Sunday, the show had to be stopped after an audience member who allegedly kept shouting 'This is bollocks!' was dragged from the venue by security. Do say: 'We're caught in a trap – we can't walk out.' Don't say: 'Elvis has left the building.'

Brit comedian with massive YouTube following lands huge deal with Apple to make first standalone TV show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHICKEN Shop Date star Amelia Dimoldenberg has landed a huge deal with Apple to make her first standalone TV show. The comedian, who launched her YouTube series a decade ago, has interviewed a string of megastars including Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lawrence and Louis Theroux. 5 Chicken Shop Date star Amelia Dimoldenberg pictured with Louis Theroux Amelia has 3.17million subscribers to her YouTube channel, 4million followers on TikTok and 2.7million on Instagram. So Apple knows it will have a ready-made audience for her show, which is expected to drop on the streamer later this year or early 2026. A TV insider said: 'The programme is all about megafans of famous people and what makes them tick. 'One of the main groups the show makers have been approaching are devotees of Taylor Swift who must be among the most fanatical fanbase of any superstar. 'It's believed the finished show will include footage from fans who attended her recent Eras tour in the UK.' Amelia also has a long list of famous fans who've been clamouring to get interviewed by her. She's also bagged herself some seriously sought-after dates too, which all take place inside a Morley's chicken shop. These include with actors Jonathan Bailey, Paul Mescal, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. It was also how Amelia was seen meeting Louis three years ago. And they have bumped into each other since as she's taken on more red carpet interviewing duties at a string of events. 'You couldn't' - Ice cold Cole Palmer shuts down Amelia Dimoldenberg in viral interview at GQ's Men of the Year awards If anyone's qualified to examine the culture of superfans, it's definitely this friend-to-the-stars. FORTUNE TELLER ON MOVE 5 Stephen Mangan reckons Fortune Hotel could be on the move Credit: Getty STEPHEN MANGAN has hinted his show Fortune Hotel is set for a location switch. The Traitors-style ITV series is currently set on the Caribbean island of Grenada, but, if a third series gets the go ahead, he reckons they will be on the move. The Password star revealed all when he was asked if he only took the hosting gig for a free exotic holiday. On the Table Manners podcast, he said: 'Of course. How is that even a question? 'It's a lot of fun. And we filmed the first series in Grenada, and then we film the second series in exactly the same place. 'But I think if it goes again, we'll go to other parts of the world.' Handy for the air miles. ITV's coverage of England Lionesses Euro 2025 semi-final victory over Italy on Tuesday was watched by a peak of 10.2 million across all devices – giving ITV its biggest peak audience of 2025 across ITV1 and ITVX. It was also ITVX's biggest day this year with 17.2m streams. OXO HAS JAMES IN A STEW 5 James Buckley was detained when he tried to bring OXO cubes into America Credit: Rex INBETWEENERS star James Buckley was detained on suspicion of drug smuggling when he tried to bring OXO cubes into America. The actor, foul-mouthed teen Jay Cartwright in the Channel 4 sitcom, found himself on the wrong side of US airport security, who were confused by the small foil cubes he had in his bag. James explained he was bringing British gravy granules to his wife Clair's Scottish auntie Dora. But after confiscating his meaty contraband he is now on a watchlist and his boarding pass for US flights is marked SSSS (Secondary Security Screening Selection). On his and Clair's The Buckleys podcast, he said: 'Anytime I go to America I have to open my suitcase, not because I was smuggling drugs . . . it's because I tried to get some OXO cubes into the country.' He added: 'I'm not a criminal mastermind by any means.' THE latest Race Across The World was an even bigger ratings hit for the BBC than its predecessors. After the 28-day consolidated figures were compiled it showed that each episode was viewed an average of 7.5m times – that's up from the 6.7m who viewed the fourth series. KAT WHO GOT THE DREAM 5 Sheridan Smith reveals how she wanted to 'do Ann Ming's story justice' Credit: Jonty Davies/Good Housekeeping UK SHERIDAN SMITH got all glammed up for her Good Housekeeping front cover, which is a little different to her appearance in her latest ITV drama. In I Fought The Law, she will play Ann Ming, who battled to bring the murderer of her daughter Julie Hogg to justice. Talking in the September edition of the magazine, Sheridan discussed meeting Ann while filming, saying: 'It's probably the hardest job I've ever done, partly because I wanted to do Ann Ming's story justice. 'She's a little firecracker of a woman who took on the establishment and won. 'She's my hero. 'I was thrilled to be asked to play her and couldn't wait to meet her. 'Her story hit especially hard as I'm a mum myself now.' 'I instantly loved her. 'She's salt of the earth. 'Tough, yet vulnerable. 'She's been through unthinkable things. 'But I was nervous because she's such a strong lady. 'She came on set one day and I was smoking. 'She said, 'Put that out! That's not very me.' 'I was like, 'Yes, Ann. Yes of course.' 'I put it out immediately. 'I felt like a very naughty girl.'

I'm A Celeb legend drops huge hint he's being lined up for Strictly – after turning down gig on under-fire Masterchef
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN I'm A Celebrity legend has hinted that he is being lined up for a stint on the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor after turning down another major show. Boxer Amir Khan, 38, caused a stir when he took up camp Down Under for I'm A Celebrity in 2017. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Boxing star and I'm A Celeb icon Amir Khan could be headed for Strictly Credit: Getty 6 The A-lister has revealed he has been approached for the show Credit: Getty 6 However, he has already said no to under-fire Celebrity MasterChef Credit: PA The star, who banked £400,000 for his first stint, later returned for the show's first ever All Stars edition in South Africa in 2023. Now, the boxing hunk has confessed that he has his eyes on more TV shows in the future but he's already had to turn some down due to his busy schedule. Confessing that he was considering learning how to dance for the BBC, Amir said: "I have been asked to do Strictly Come Dancing so maybe I would do that." But it is bad news for another BBC show as the boxing pro confirmed that he'd turned down under-fire Celebrity MasterChef after being unable to commit to the filming. The programme has been in the spotlight after both its hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode were forced out of the programme following findings in an investigation - first sparked amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour from host Gregg during his time on the programme. Amir added: "I have been asked to do Celebrity MasterChef recently, but I couldn't do the filming this year. "There are a lot of shows but it's hard to get the time. At the same time, I like doing shows." Amir starred in his own reality series, Big in Bolton, on the BBC alongside his wife Faryal and has now revealed that he is a big fan of starring on such programmes for a key reason. He said: "People get to see the real side of me and who you are. Let's see what happens but I am always down for doing things but only the top shows. "I've done a lot of the top shows like I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here twice and in my opinion it's the biggest show out there, it is massive." People started fights in cafes but terrifying gunpoint robbery was last straw, I had to leave UK, says Amir Khan Amir married his wife Faryal in New York in 2013 before returning to Bolton for a traditional Islamic wedding in front of a reported 4000 guests. The couple share two daughters together. However, their marriage has been plagued by split rumours - including a brief period where they called it quits in 2017 as well as a sex tape scandal. Last year, Amir spent more than £130,000 on a new Mercedes G Wagon for his long-suffering wife after being caught out yet again with a sexting scandal. The couple were reportedly "on the rocks" following a sexting scandal which saw the former boxing champ meet a woman for hotel sex over a period of four months. He had demanded "no holds barred" sex from the woman last year before the fling escalated. His wife found out about the betrayal before calling the woman and threatening to out her. 6 Amir has become one of boxing's most popular stars ever Credit: Getty 6 The star has also turned to TV including two appearances on I'm A Celeb Credit: Rex Features 6 Amir proved a talking point during his times in the jungle Credit: Rex Features
