FORMER Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has broken his silence about the soap's race row and finally revealed the truth behind it. The David Metcalfe actor and co-star 2 Matthew Wolfenden has broken his silence over the Emmerdale race row that saw him suspended in 2021 Credit: Getty 2 Matthew and Isabel were both away from filming for months in the end Credit: ITV At the time Emmerdale denied the pair had been suspended, but now four years on, Matthew has revealed the truth of what happened revealing they were 'mistakenly' accused of doing a Chinese accent. Speaking for the first time about it, he said: 'We were falsely accused of doing an accent on set. 'Whenever the word race is used they have to take it seriously. So a young cast member mistakenly thought he heard us doing a Chinese accent, so he went up to see the producer and said, 'I'm not very happy about this, I think I've just heard them mimicking a Chinese accent so because of this we did have to get suspended because as soon as that's an issue they have to go down the correct routes while they investigate what happens. 'Unfortunately when you get suspended from a continuing drama, you have to get written out of storylines and that is not an easy process because the storylines are written six weeks in advance, you film six weeks in advance and then it's on screen. Read more on Emmerdale 'So even if you're off for two weeks that could be three months of not being on screen. 'Basically what had happened was me and Izzy were working lots together at the time because were were in a relationship [on screen] and we loved watching comedies. 'So we were sat one day talking about what comedies we loved to watch and we were doing scenes, mimicking the scenes, doing the lines from the scenes. 'And I said to her, 'Have you ever seen the League of Gentlemen?' And there's a scene in the League of Gentlemen where Reece Shearsmith dresses up as a lady called Pam Doove and it's called the Orange Juice Scene if anyone wants to Google it and see what I mean. Most read in Soaps 'And he's playing an actress who comes into an audition room and is very eloquent - it's an old acting joke - and then the director says, 'Go out of the room and come back in and say 'Has anyone got a bottle of orange juice?' for an audition. [She returns and does it in a different accent]. 'So we were doing this in the accent that you heard me do and this young kid thought that was us doing a Chinese accent and wasn't happy about it so he went and complained and that led to us being suspended, it led to all this stuff going in the press with the word 'race' and 'race row'.' Matthew Wolfenden breaks down in tears on This Morning over Emmerdale exit after playing David for 18 years Matthew claimed he was told by bosses not to speak out and explain what happened, and the situation left him vulnerable and saw him checked into a mental health clinic. He added on podcast 'All I wanted to do was tell my truth and tell that story and I was kind of told not to. And that was difficult because I was being accused of something that I hadn't done. 'It was hard and I got very very poorly and had a nervous breakdown. I ended up having a nervous breakdown and I ended up in the priory for a month.' He added: 'I thought I was going to lose my job over this over something I haven't done. 'I've always struggled with my mental health so just ended up with this big spiral down and ended up having a nervous breakdown. I had to be taken into the Priory for a month to get better.' Matthew, who later He also revealed that he would have struggled to speak to the cast member who made the allegation - but fortunately they left the show during his absence. The actor said: 'That person [who made the allegation] had left the show before 'I think there's certain ways of approaching that conversation instead of going straight to the boss… where we would have to be suspended on that accusation.

The essential food storage guide Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria. Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer. However, this can compromise the flavour. Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould. Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables. He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste. He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker. One wrote: ''I got this exact same box the other day too!'' Another chimed in: ''I've had whiskey, cider, dog treats mainly.'' A third lucky customer commented under the post: ''I've been lucky, I've had half a dozen boxes over the last two years. ''My cats and dogs have got to try all sorts of food, as have I and I've got to try whiskies, rums and three different vodkas!'' A mum warned: ''I accidentally clicked I was breast feeding (my children are 9 and 11 ) but it couldn't be changed due to safety, so missed out. Be careful when selecting guys!''
