Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb breaks silence on Mack death scenes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb has spoken out about his upcoming on-screen death. Metro revealed last week that killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) will claim his next victim – Mackenzie Boyd – in upcoming scenes. John, as viewers know, has somewhat of a hero complex, swooping in last minute to play the saviour after endangering the lives of several villagers. From spiking Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) to setting Ella Forster (Paula Lane) up, it doesn't seem like he's about to stop anytime soon. That's without mentioning the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), who died before John could play the hero. A source told us: 'The John story has so many twists and turns to come and this will come as a genuine surprise to fans. 'Mack has survived quite a lot over the years but his time is well and truly up this time. 'What his exit does is set the stage for an exciting next stage to John's saga later in the autumn that will leave fans quite literally on edge.' Now actor Lawrence has been put in a difficult position about the upcoming story when questioned by the Loose Women panellists. When appearing on the ITV daytime show today to talk about the ongoing surrogacy storyline – that has seen Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) decide to be a surrogate for granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) – the awkward matter of his upcoming exit was addressed. 'I don't want to put you on the spot, but I'm going to,' asked Jane Moore. 'There's lots of rumours that Mack might be getting killed off.' Lawrence, visibly squirming, replied: 'Yeah, there are lots of rumours. And rumours they shall remain.' Quick thinking – though Denise Welch didn't look too convinced. Co-host Coleen Nolan then chimed in, asking: 'If that was the case, I'm not saying it is or it isn't, [but] do they discuss that with you straight away or about a month before it's happening?' 'It's never brutal,' he replied, being extremely cautious about his wording. 'I've always said, being in the show, I never want to be too prescriptive with it. 'I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. Ultimately if and when, – if, when – the time for Mack to leave comes, whether that be my choice or the writer-producers, I'll be thankful for the time that I've had.' He concluded: 'Ultimately, nobody is safe in the show. It's most dangerous village in the country.' Anchor Christine Lampard then stepped up to offer a much needed reprieve from the interrogation, introducing a clip from an upcoming episode. Mack made his debut five years ago when he turned up at Butlers Farm as the long-lost younger sibling of Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

He also swiftly embarked on a relationship with Charity, who was seeing Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) at the time of their one night stand. More Trending In the years since, Mack has been at the centre of numerous stories, including a one night stand with Chloe Harris, which led to the birth of his son Reuben. The storyline led to Charity and Mack splitting up but ultimately they found their way back to one another and have been happy in the years since, but it seems it could all be set to end in tragedy if John does in fact kill Mack.

Great British Bake Off return confirmed as trailer reveals future of hosts and judges
Hit Channel 4 baking show Great British Bake Off will be back on screens very soon as the first look at the latest series has been revealed along with the hosts and judges Great British Bake Off is set to be back on screens very soon as the end of summer nears. The hit Channel 4 baking show has been a TV staple for years, marking the beginning of autumn as millions tune in to watch the successful and not so successful bakes unfold. Its latest series is just weeks away from airing as viewers prepare to witness the rise, and sometimes fall, of sponge, pastry, and bread. To mark a new series on the horizon, Channel 4 has released a first look as they confirm the hosts and judges, with one of them missing. Comedian Joe Wilkinson takes the helm as narrator for the eccentric trailer that appears to be set in space, before baking ingredients appear. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. He takes the viewers on a journey of life, with hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond making an appearance as animated characters. In a nod to the hosts, Joe quipped: "From it grew life, intelligent life, adorned in knitwear and leopard print." Inspired by the Big Bang, the trailer imagines a universe born not from dust and gas, but from a spectacular explosion of flour, sugar, and baked wonders. In the end, it shows it was all formed from the twinkling blue eye of judge Paul Hollywood himself. Judge Prue Leith was nowhere to be seen in the clip for the upcoming series, but Channel 4 confirmed she will be taking part. They said: " As the ovens fire up and a new batch of bakers steps into the iconic tent to face Paul and Prue, audiences can expect all the classic ingredients — warmth, humour, creativity, and just the right amount of competition. "This autumn, let the universe of Bake Off pull you in once again. Because, as the trail says, once there was nothing, and then there was Bake Off." A return date is yet to be shared with fans, but it has been teased it is "soon". Before Prue's absence from the trailer, many fans had questioned her future on the show. She replaced Dame Mary Berry as a judge on the TV favourite when it moved to Channel 4 in 2017, and has been seen alongside Paul ever since. The renowned TV chef has also gone on to host Prue Leith's Cotswolds Kitchen for ITV and last year appeared on The Masked Singer. However, she failed to return to presenting duties for Celebrity Great British Bake Off earlier this year leaving fans concerned. Many wondered if she had quit the series, but Prue insisted it was not the case. During an appearance on ITV's Lorraine, she told viewers that she only stopped appearing the celebrity version because she needed a break, explaining: "I keep being asked if I'm leaving. "This is because I left the celebrity [version]. I stopped doing that last year because I just hadn't had a holiday in the summer for eight years. I've only given up Celebrity [Bake Off]." She said: "I still do The Great American Bake Off, which we are filming at the moment, and I still do The Great British Bake Off, which I love, and is the mother of them all." Prue has no intention of leaving the regular version of the programme, adding: "It's the best job in telly. It's absolutely the best job in telly, I don't have to learn lines, I don't have to have script. I just walk on and eat cake."
