Emmerdale star quits ITV show ahead of explosive scenes
Emmerdale star Oliver Farnworth to leave ITV soap opera in explosive scenes
An Emmerdale source said: 'It's the beginning of the end for John. He's got away with so much, but he's about to make a fatal mistake that sees him exposed for what he is."
According to The Sun, they added: 'Obviously, Oliver knew that a character like John had a shelf life and that's rapidly approaching.
'He's loved his time on the show, but there's still plenty of twists and turns coming before he departs for good.'
This comes after it was revealed that Mackenzie Boyd would be murdered by John in upcoming scenes.
A source with the ITV show said at the time: 'The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch.
'Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions, but this time it looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew.
'Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens.'
The scenes, which are meant to air later this year, will take place after Mackenzie discovers the truth about John.
Actor Lawrence Robb has already filmed the final scenes for his character.
The insider added: 'There are huge twists and turns coming throughout this storyline, and it's going to run for months and months.
'Nothing can be ruled out - bosses are really going for it and doing everything they can to keep the audience on their toes.'

'I won £10,000 on Tipping Point but nothing on Pointless - I love being on quiz shows'
'I won £10,000 on Tipping Point but nothing on Pointless - I love being on quiz shows' Dan Farmer won ITV's Tipping Point in 2022. He put the funds towards furnishing a new property Tipping Point sees contestants answer general knowledge questions to earn counters for a giant arcade-esque machine (Image: ITV) A train driver has scooped a £10,000 windfall on ITV's Tipping Point and put his triumph down to Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert (MSE). Dan Farmer, from Hull, claimed the programme's top prize in 2022, having previously left BBC's Pointless empty-handed three years earlier. His remarkable victory followed reading MSE's guidance on 'how to play your cards right'. He explained that his mum had always been a 'massive Martin Lewis' fan, and that's where it all began. "One day I was browsing the site and saw the blog about boosting your chances to get on a TV game show and just thought, 'why the hell not?', so I started applying for multiple shows," he told the publication last year. "I remember reading the line [in the MSE blog] which said, 'sending off application forms and having telephone interviews isn't that scary – because you are just talking about yourself'. It took away the fear for me because it was so simple; all you really have to do is be yourself and let your personality shine through – so that's what I did." Presented by Ben Shephard, Tipping Point sees contestants tackle general knowledge questions to earn counters for a massive arcade-style machine. The more counters they manage to push out, the greater their winnings. Throughout the Tipping Point audition process, Dan reminded himself to remain authentic in accordance with MSE's guidance, which helped calm his anxiety. Fast-forward to 2024, and he not only secured £10,000 but had put this towards furnishing a new property. Article continues below Ben Shephard is the presenter of ITV's Tipping Point (Image: ITV) Dan stressed that he always encourages his friends to try game shows and continues to remind them of MSE's life-changing advice. But what exactly does it say? Beyond promoting authenticity, MSE has suggested it's worth going for the lesser-known shows before the big hitters. Even if you're dreaming of a chance to win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, securing a spot on a show like this is quite a challenge. According to Leicestershire Live, prospective contestants shouldn't dismiss the opening application form or video submission either. Similar to a CV or covering letter, it's vital to ensure yours catches the eye. The MSE blog has also previously maintained that most game shows recycle identical questions during this stage, whether they centre on pastimes and pursuits or professional ambitions. Therefore, crafting your responses beforehand might prove the secret to achieving your quarter-hour of celebrity. Initially posted in 2015, the advice adds: "Be as bubbly and upbeat as you can and use the potential to win cash and prizes as your driving force to show them how much you want it. If you are memorable for any reason, you will be in with a good chance of getting on the show." Article continues below What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.

Wayne told The Sun in 2015: "In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life. "They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward.

I'll always be his number one fan." 8 Gary knocked back booze at his son Harry's Ibiza wedding Credit: Instagram 8 Wayne later got his turn, tilting his head back and catching the drink in his mouth Credit: Instagram 8 Wayne and Gary fell out in 2008 Advertisement

A-level student fulfils promise to dying mother by securing place at Oxford
Gabrielle Morgan, 18, said she 'could practically hear (her mother) celebrating' with her when her offer came through to study modern languages at the University of Oxford. Gabrielle, from Newcastle, secured her place after achieving straight A* grades in English literature, Spanish and chemistry, along with an A* in an extended project qualification (EPQ), and will go on to study Spanish and beginners' Portuguese. It comes a year after her sister Francesca achieved straight A* grades and secured a place at Cambridge to study natural sciences. The sisters were both home-schooled by their mother, Faustina, before joining Dame Allan's Schools. Ms Morgan, who moved from Malaysia to the UK in her early 20s, died from lung cancer in April last year. Gabrielle said: 'My mum was incredible, strong, organised, inspiring and a person of great faith. 'She supported every interest we had, helped us through our GCSEs and pushed us to work hard. 'She made me promise to keep working hard on my Oxford application no matter what happened. 'I could practically hear her celebrating with me when the offer came through. 'I know just how proud of me she is and I know she helped a lot, even though she wasn't here physically.' Gabrielle's promise to Ms Morgan carried her through an emotionally turbulent year – including a school trip to Valencia, during which she boarded a high-speed train to Madrid with director of sixth form Karen Fletcher to sit her Oxford admissions test. Gabrielle, who is bilingual in English and Mandarin, said she has been passionate about languages and storytelling from a young age, and dreams of becoming an author. 'The literary world has always been central to my life,' she said. 'Tolkien is my favourite author – he studied and taught at Oxford and wrote the books that shaped my love of reading. That's why I decided to apply there.' Gabrielle said her standout moments at Dame Allan's, an independent school in Fenham, Newcastle, include performing Visiting Hours and Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran at school concerts in memory of her mother. 'She loved hearing me sing, so it felt special to sing for her in front of others,' she said. 'Those songs encapsulate what grief feels like.'
