Emmerdale confirms huge Charity and Vanessa twist in early ITVX release
The following article contains pretty major spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that has not aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Right, that's your warning. Now onto the news. Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) have shared a kiss in Emmerdale, and Vanity fans are losing their minds. The popular former couple split in 2020 after Charity cheated on Vanessa with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), who she is now married to. Meanwhile, Vanessa went on to embark on a relationship with Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), but she died in the ITV soap's epic limo crash stunt earlier this year. Vanessa was supported by Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) in the aftermath of Suzy's death, although flashbacks revealed she'd shared a kiss with Suzy before she died. For most of this year, Charity and Vanessa have been sharing quite a few scenes together, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. In recent weeks, Vanessa has been supporting Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill), who wants to become a mum through surrogacy. The agreement is that Charity will carry Sarah's baby for her, but their journey took a turn yesterday. At the start of the week, Charity fell over in the woods while walking with Mackenzie. She then suffered bleeding, which made her realise the recent embryo transfer probably hadn't worked. Vanessa was the first person to discover this and supported her, and continued to do so in this evening's episode. After Sarah discovered Charity's fall, she left Jacobs Fold. It allowed Mackenzie to try and be there for Charity, but he made a terrible mistake when he tried to suggest that losing the embryo was for the best. Because of Mack's previous comments about Charity being the surrogate, she believed it looked as though Mack was pleased about this development. The couple had an intense argument, and it ended with Charity walking out and heading to the pub. There, Charity got very drunk and was found by Vanessa. She was making a bit of a show of herself, so Vanessa took her back to her house. Charity spoke about the surrogacy and Mack and Vanessa was kind to her. She listened and offered advice, all while making pasta and offering Charity water to sober her up. Just as the instalment ended though, Charity potentially took things a little too far. Vanessa had told her that she can sleep in Tracy's (Amy Walsh) bed, and Charity said that she should join her. The two characters ended up kissing, but the credits rolled before we could see a reaction from the both of them. What will happen next? Was Vanessa just being friendly to Charity, or does she feel something more for her ex? Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, previously reflected on the impact her character's relationship with Vanessa had on fans. 'A lot of people took to that and it resonated. The fact it was two women, it made a brilliant impact for a lot of people.' More Trending 'I think when they do have scenes together, there's always that potential for an opening again, of reconnection, because they get on so well as friends,' she said. 'There's always that spark and you never know in soap properly what they choose to do from one moment to the next, and it's always a joy to work with Michelle. 'So either way, it's going to be a win-win. Even if they just have a lovely friendship, because there is a friendship there to be had.'

Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova famous ex and devastating reason for split
Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova famous ex and devastating reason for split Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova has had a colourful love life, including multiple engagements and high-profile relationships - take a look inside Nadiya has had a rocky road through love (Image: Getty) Nadiya Bychkova, the Ukrainian-born dancer, has been making waves both on the Strictly Come Dancing stage and beyond. Known for her elegant moves, exceptional talent, and mesmerising performances, she's a firm favourite among fans. However, behind the sequins and spotlights, her personal life is a tale of love, heartache, and unwavering commitment to her profession. She split with her footballer fiancé Matija Škarabot, who is also the father of her daughter, Mila, choosing instead to concentrate on her burgeoning career. This isn't the first time Nadiya's romantic life has taken a backseat to her professional pursuits. From multiple engagements to high-profile relationships, Nadiya's personal journey has been anything but calm, reports the Express. Nadiya and Matija Škarabot with their daughter, Mila (Image: instagram ) We delve into her past romances, revealing the passionate and often stormy path that has shaped her. Nadiya and Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot seemed to be going strong, even welcoming their daughter Mila into the world. However, the demands of a long-distance relationship eventually took their toll. While Matija stayed in Slovenia with Mila, Nadiya's career kept her in the UK, competing on Strictly. The pressures of distance and work commitments ultimately led to their split, with Nadiya quietly deciding to end the relationship. During a particularly difficult period, Nadiya found solace in her close bond with fellow Strictly professional Kai Widdrington. Amidst the emotional strain of her breakup, insiders disclosed that Nadiya was determined to concentrate on her professional life. "She's fiery, passionate, and stunningly sexy," an insider confided to The Sun. Nadiya split from dance partner Miha (Image: Getty) "She approaches her love life the way she approaches the dance floor." Nadiya's romantic history has been closely linked with her fervour for dancing, starting with her initial romance with Miha Vodicar. Together, they not only shared a personal connection but also dominated the dance floor, securing the world champion title in 10 Dance in both 2014 and 2015. Yet, their union faced challenges in 2010 when Nadiya took part in Slovenia's version of Strictly, Star Dance. After their split, Miha later conceded their relationship was "tempestuous" and it "broke [his] heart." Despite the upheaval, Nadiya and Miha continued their dance partnership even as she navigated through the pregnancy with Mila. Miha reflected on the experience: "It took maybe a year for us to really get past it." Ultimately, Nadiya's unwavering commitment to her craft led her to move forward from Miha in both her personal and professional life, maintaining their dance partnership well beyond the end of their romance. Kai Widdrington provided her with much-needed support during this challenging time (Image: Getty) In a touching letter penned to Miha whilst expecting Mila, Nadiya poured out her profound respect and appreciation for their partnership. "When we first danced together, I knew we could succeed," she wrote. "We reached high, more than that, basically everything. In the most beautiful embrace, we danced to the very top. "Now, when our paths diverge, I want you, from the bottom of my heart, to achieve all the goals that you have set yourself," Nadiya penned. Nadiya's love life has witnessed numerous relationships and matrimonial ventures. Following her separation from Peter Klinc, she embarked on a brief romance with renowned Slovenian musician Jan Plestenjak, although their connection proved fleeting. Before long, Nadiya discovered romance once more, this time with Russian performer Sergey Konovaltsev. Their passionate courtship culminated in a spectacular proposal when Sergey theatrically dropped to one knee at a dance competition prize-giving event. Caught off guard by his audacious gesture, Nadiya said yes, subsequently declaring: "I think I've found everything." Nevertheless, their union proved short-lived and the pair separated in 2015. Following this, she sought comfort with businessman Anzet Cerin, although their liaison was similarly fleeting. Article continues below Professing her affection for him openly, Nadiya posted on Facebook: "Since I've met you, there's no one worth thinking about." Yet within 12 months, the relationship had ended.

Kelly Clarkson postpones Las Vegas residency after sudden crisis with ex-husband
American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson has had to make the tough call to postpone a full month of her Las Vegas residency due to family matters Kelly Clarkson has had to postpone a number of concerts last minute after making a sad family announcement. The former American Idol winner made the tough call on Wednesday evening as she told fans her Las Vegas residency was being cancelled throughout August. The Because Of You songstress, 43, began her residency in Caesars Palace last month, but is needing to postpone this month's offerings. It comes as she announced her ex-husband and father of her kids, Brandon Blackstock is sick. The duo share two children together, River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, nine. Kelly and Brandon called time on their marriage in 2020, finalising their divorce two years later. Taking to Instagram to share the news, Kelly wrote: "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas.. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding." Her followers were quick to acknowledge her situation and send well wishes in the comments section. One user wrote: "Those kids need you more than we do! Go be the best momma! Best wishes to all involved." Fellow singer Debbie Gibson added: "Priorities. Sending love to you and your family." And fashion designer Michael Costello said: "Sending you and your family love And prayers for healing." While there hasn't been any official notification about the rescheduled dates, Ticketmaster currently has dates for 2026 listed on its site. The cancellations come just a month after Kelly was forced to reschedule earlier dates. On July 4, Kelly revealed she was taking a short step back from the residency hours before taking to the stage to "protect myself". In a statement at the time, she said: "The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve. The show is truly incredible." A week later, when she returned to her The Kelly Clarkson Show, she addressed the issue. In a clip shared on TikTok, the star said: "I'm so sorry. We can't help our bodies sometimes. You know, we get sick, and that happens. "But thank y'all for showing up. We are so excited. This is my favourite residency, my favourite show I've ever put together, because I love being in the studio."
