Robert lost everything again! (Picture: ITV / Metro)

Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) whole world came tumbling down in Emmerdale when the money he’d won hours earlier in poker game was stolen from right under his nose.

The farmer has been having cashflow issues as of late, especially after purchasing struggling business The Hide from Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), who sabotaged his plans to open imminently due to him having lowballed her with his offer.

In a bid to raise the funds needed, he organised a poker night at his new establishment, inviting Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson) to play.

Once Claudette left with her winnings and Jay cashed out, Joe and Robert went head-to-head, with Robert putting the Hide on the table while Joe offered up £100k.

Robert came out victorious, much to Joe’s shock, and he partied the night away at The Woolpack, unaware that a punter stole the cash after Kev (Chris Coghill) stated aloud the amount his ex won aloud in the pub for all to hear.

The discovery left Robert horrified, realising that he’s literally got nothing left. But who stole the cash?

What happens next in Emmerdale? Spoilers for Monday, October 19 episode

The next episode deals with the fallout of tonight’s as Robert and Aaron (Danny Miller) desperately try to work out who stole the money.

With poker players Joe and Jai in attendance on the evening in question, could either of them be the culprits? Or is Kev the man they’re looking for?

Eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted Kev making off with his jacket all rolled up when time was called by Woolpack landlady Charity (Emma Atkins), but is he the thief?

Aaron and Sarah (Katie Hill) head off to interrogate the potential suspects, but will they get the answers they need?

Elsewhere, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) takes Cain (Jeff Hordley) on a fishing trip ahead of his radiotherapy.

Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), meanwhile, receives a visit from her Victim Liaison Officer, who informs her that Tom (James Chase) will be released from prison.

Reeling, Belle is assured that Tom will be subject to strict licence conditions upon his release but Kammy (Shebz Miah) is pained to see the change in her demeanour.

Later, Charles (Kevin Mathurin) overhears Belle speaking to Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) about the situation and he can’t help but reveal that Tom has been speaking to him in his role as a prison chaplain – and that he has accepted culpability for what he did and is even seeking Belle’s forgiveness.

Unsure of what to do, Belle ultimately decides to visit Tom.

Trump fires bumbling White House press secretary Katie Zacharia after just 5 days

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is ‘transitioning out’ of the role after five days (Picture: Reuters)

Katie Zacharia has held the White House press secretary role for less than a week – and she’s already been fired.

She gave a clumsy first speech five days ago, prompting President Donald Trump to urge her to ‘reconsider’ her post, despite originally insisting she did a ‘very good’ job.

Recalling his conversation with her, speaking before boarding Marine One to head to Joint Base Andrews, he said he told her: ‘Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider.

‘Katie, do you need this? I don’t think you need this.’

A White House official then confirmed she is ‘transitioning out’ of the position but has not shared a timeline for her exit.

Trump said Zacharia could continue to work for him ‘in some form, but maybe a more pleasant form’.

Trump initially said Zacharia did a ‘very good’ job (Picture: AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)

Zacharia, 42, helmed just one briefing on Tuesday and has been noticeably absent since, with Trump saying the media treated her ‘very, very badly’.

‘Welcome to the world of Trump,’ he later declared.

Still, he describes her as a ‘very nice person’, despite clearly having little faith in her public-speaking abilities.

Zacharia is a political commentator who has frequently appeared on Fox News and Newsmax.

In her debut address, described as ‘painful’ to listen to, she spoke briefly, and observers noted she seemed ill-prepared and nervous.

The whole thing lasted for a toe-curling 14 minutes and involved Zacharia stumbling over her words, even though she read directly from notes.

Up Next

At one point, when asked how she would manage to keep up with her husband and four children alongside the job, she made the mother of all blunders.

She said her husband was helping with bedtime, adding: ‘My president – sorry, my husband.’

Trying to claw it back, she quipped: ‘That’s a good one.’

Her legal background came under scrutiny shortly after, as headlines questioned whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer.

The president called her ‘an attorney’, even though public records show she failed the bar exam.

Defending herself, Zacharia said in a statement this week: ‘I practised international transaction law with all the appropriate credentials.’

She is now the shortest-serving press secretary under Trump (Picture: AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)

And when quizzed by a reporter on when she supposedly passed the bar, she replied: ‘When I moved to China.’

Campaign for Accountability, a watchdog group, filed a complaint with the California State Bar Association on Wednesday, seeking to investigate whether she ‘repeatedly held herself out to the public as entitled to practise law without a licence to do so’.

Pepperdine University in California confirmed that Zacharia graduated from law school in 2011, but a degree does not permit her to practise law.

Having lasted a mere five days, this makes Zacharia’s stint even shorter than that of Anthony Scaramucci, who was press secretary for just 10 days in July 2017.

Trump has had a revolving door of press secretaries between his two terms, with Zacharia succeeding Karoline Leavitt, who held the role from January 20, 2025, to August 27, 2026.

Dad killed daughter on family ‘bonding trip’ to lake then claimed she had been kidnapped

Up Next

A man invited his daughter to a father-daughter lake trip before killing her and hiding her body under a rock.

Luciano Frattolin was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for second-degree murder of his daughter Melina and one to three years for hiding her body.

Luciano had wanted to take his 9-year-old daughter back to his native Ethiopia. But Melina told her mother, who had full custody, she didn’t want to go.

Her mother eventually allowed Frattolin to take her to a lake in upstate New York on July 11, 2025. They were supposed to return to Montreal a week later but never showed up.

At about 5.30pm on July 19th, Melina was seen with her father on video surveillance in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Melina had not wanted to go on a vacation with her father

She spoke to her mother on the phone and did not indicate she was under any duress at 6.30pm.

Four hours later, Luciano told police in a frantic phone call that Melina had been kidnapped by two men in a van at Lake George.

Police launched an instant manhunt but found no evidence of such a van.

Melina’s body was found the next day hidden under a rock in a pond in Ticonderoga.

An autopsy revealed that her cause of death was asphyxia due to drowning and her manner of death was homicide, state police said.

Luciano was arrested the next day and charged with second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

‘We will never know what happened on the evening of July 19, 2025,’ Judge Coffinger told Frattolin in Essex County Supreme Court, WNYT reports.

‘We do know that in a moment Melina needed her father the most, you failed to protect her.

‘Instead, Mr Frattolin you live in a world of self-made delusion, of wealth and image, when the greatest accomplishment of your life could have been to be a great father. It is not what you are going to be remembered for.’

Melina’s family said: ‘We continue to suffer deeply since the day Melina was brutally murdered. Nothing can bring Melina back, but we are relieved that this chapter is over.

‘We are sincerely grateful to everyone who worked on the case for your dedication and persistence. Your efforts helped bring a measure of justice for our family.’

Lisandro Martinez to learn Manchester United’s response to controversial outburst

Lisandro Martinez grabbed the headlines with his comments on Tuesday night (Picture: Amazon Prime)

Manchester United chiefs have been mulling over the explosive comments from Lisandro Martinez, with the player to learn of their response on Thursday.

The Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night in Spain, continuing their poor run of results.

Six games into the Premier League campaign Michael Carrick’s side has won just once and the loss in Madrid makes it five matches without a victory in all competitions.

Martinez faced reporters after the latest defeat and chose to drop a bombshell as he hit out at the club’s hierarchy, specifically Jason Wilcox, the former Technical Director who is now Director of Football.

The Argentina international was raging about the lack of new signings over the summer, feeling the squad is not strong enough to compete for the biggest titles.

‘I have to control myself a lot but sometimes it’s the reflection, the mirror of how are club is at the moment,’ Martinez told Amazon on United’s performance in Madrid.

‘We had a fantastic season last season and now we expect more from the top, from up, to bring more players to compete, because many teams bring many players as well. Today Atletico have an amazing team and deserve to win today.

‘I expect more. I expect more from our Technical Director, but I have to be honest we as players have to do more, but it’s important that we make a strong squad to be ready for this kind of night.

‘Last season we did everything to create a base to build an amazing base, but this is something to be honest and to prove something. It’s annoying, disappointing, to come here and I’m not seeing my team trying to get an amazing result here, it’s disappointing.’

Martinez said it was not his teammates or his manager that deserve criticism, but ‘other areas’ of the club.

‘Changing, changing, changing managers, but what about other areas? I can’t say more,’ he said. ‘Tonight it’s easy to say the coach, it’s easy to say the players but also we have to say other areas.’

ESPN report that senior figures at Old Trafford have been discussing the defender’s comments on Wednesday, when the players had a day off.

Martinez and his teammates will return to training on Thursday and the Argentine will learn his fate then, in terms of whether he will face punishment or not.

Carrick had not seen or heard the interview by the time of his post-match press conference on Wednesday, saying: ‘I’ll need to find out a bit more about it before I can say if and what is going to be done.’

The manager added, ahead of a trip to Elland Road to play Leeds on Sunday: ‘It’s important for us to move forward quickly, really, its a big game on Sunday and it’s really important that we move forward and stay focused on that. There’s disappointment with in the group, I’m bitterly disappointed in certain things and the boys are as well as a group of players.

Martinez has not been in good form himself so far this season (Picture: Getty Images)

‘As a group I don’t doubt the togetherness or wanting to win or the willingness to do things to win, I really don’t doubt that.

‘I know results-wise it’s easy to look and think there’s something deeply wrong because we haven’t won enough games, but the players have been great.

‘They want to push, they’re very willing, they’re very disappointed we haven’t come out with something from the game because they’re desperate and we could have and maybe should have.’

Why Lisandro Martinez was right to eviscerate Manchester United and expose Jason Wilcox

United legend Wayne Rooney suggested Martinez could and probably should face punishment from his club for his outburst.

‘I think it is very disrespectful, there are a lot of young players in that dressing room looking for some guidance from experienced players and that hasn’t helped,’ said the former striker.

‘The board have to look at that and probably have to take some action on that because that’s disrespecting the whole football club.’

Co-worker’s horror after pervert paramedic caught ‘masturbating into coffee creamer’ in office

Christopher Carroll filmed himself carrying out some of his lewd acts (Picture: Baltimore County)

A former paramedic has been jailed for 25 years after being caught on camera spreading his bodily fluids around the workplace.

Christopher Carroll, 36, was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading guilty to three counts of causing another person to ingest bodily fluids in three separate incidents.

The former Baltimore County paramedic had worked at both a county fire station and the fire department’s headquarters.

Fighting back tears in court, Carroll said he was ‘truly sorry to everyone involved’, according to local reports.

‘I’m just a dumb man who made a horrible decision,’ he said.

Carroll was arrested in February and originally charged with 20 counts of knowingly and wilfully causing another person to ingest bodily fluid, along with three counts of malicious destruction of property.

Ice machines, coffee creamer and keyboards

The investigation began in November 2025 after a string of allegations made between September and December that year.

Court records showed Carroll was accused of masturbating and urinating on work equipment and coworkers’ personal belongings at Baltimore County Fire Station 2 in Pikesville and at the Baltimore County Public Safety Building.

Prosecutors said he put semen into a coffee creamer then put it back into a communal fridge.

He also put it onto his female boss’s keyboard. Carroll was also accused of urinating inside an ice machine at the station.

A video posted to Carroll’s account on X, formerly Twitter, included the caption: ‘They always say don’t drink the yellow snow, but I’m just trying to make a slushie.’

In the five days between the contamination and its discovery, 16 people reportedly used the ice maker.

The court heard further allegations that bodily fluids had been placed inside an ambulance and in food cooked at a firehouse.

‘This was not a joke or a prank,’ the judge said.

‘These were perverted, repulsive, and disgusting acts that violated people physically and emotionally.’

Colleague’s horror

One colleague posted her reaction to the disturbing case, saying: ‘Today’s sentencing of Paramedic Christopher Carroll hits differently when you are one of the people who worked beside him.

‘It’s hard to put into words the hurt, anger, and betrayal that comes with knowing someone you worked alongside could do something like this.

‘We work in a profession where we depend on each other, trust each other, and sometimes put our lives in each other’s hands. Our coworkers become family, and the station becomes a second home.

‘Now, because of his actions, we are left questioning things we should never have to question.

‘Something as simple as eating food or getting ice at the station has become a concern. Think about that for a minute. We should be able to walk into our stations, eat our meals, and go about our shifts without worrying about whether we are safe.

‘We already deal with enough dangers in this profession. We should never have to fear the people we work beside. The trust that has been broken is something that will not be easy to get back.’

Alexander Isak, Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo injury update from Andoni Iraola

Dominik Szoboszlai has been a key player for Liverpool (Picture: Getty Images)

Andoni Iraola has issued an encouraging update on the fitness of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, but could not guarantee when they will return from injury.

All three players missed Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, with Hugo Ekitike also still sidelined.

The Frenchman remains a long-term injury issues, not expected back till December, but the Hungarian, Swede and Dutchman will be back much sooner.

None of the trio will be involved when the Reds go to LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday night but there is hope they could return on Saturday at Brentford.

If not, then the relentless schedule continues with the Reds hosting Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday October 20.

‘They are not bad but it’s difficult to tell right now,’ Iraola said on when Szoboszlai, Isak and Gakpo will return.

‘We are taking it day to day. Really the three of them, I don’t know if it’s going to be Brentford or Villarreal.’

Milos Kerkez was also on media duty on Tuesday for the Reds and dropped an injury update of his own on his compatriot Szoboszlai.

‘I don’t know if he is fit for Saturday. You’ll have to ask the gaffer that,’ said the left-back.

‘I know Dom and he doesn’t like to be out long. Knowing him, he wants to play every game and will want to play Saturday.’

With the three stricken stars, and Ekitike out, there is more demand on the misfiring pair of Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola.

Wirtz has struggled to make any kind of impact since his move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025, while Barcola only arrived this summer but has had a very slow start.

‘It’s true Cody, Alex and Dom are the top scorers in our system. We don’t have them, we didn’t have them against City and we need those players to give us those numbers,’ said Iraola.

‘We trust the players we have now to play in those positions. Injuries with national teams will happen to all the teams.It’s a matter of adapting to circumstances.

‘[Wirtz and Barcola] have had good games and bad games like anyone else and they will give us good games.’

Moment rapist smirks to himself before attacking girl, 16, in train station toilets

Up Next

A teenager has been jailed for five years after smirking at a CCTV camera before sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl.

After a five-day trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Tommi Harwood, 18, was found guilty of raping a girl he met at a train station two years ago.

A court heard how Harwood, then 16, had been messaging a girl on Snapchat on September 5, 2024, telling her his name was ‘Bobby’.

She had told him she was on a train, and he asked to meet at Romford Station. Just after 8pm, she arrived at the station and he met her on the platform.

In footage shared by police, Harwood can be seen standing on the platform wearing a black jacket and trousers, smiling at a camera.

Once his victim arrived, he led her into a waiting room and repeatedly asked her to check if anyone was in the women’s toilets.

When she then went to use the toilets, Harwood followed her in and raped her.

When they returned to the platform, he reportedly told the girl, ‘if we see police, run across the tracks’.

She then reported what happened to British Transport Police (BTP), with its Major, Serious and Organised Crime (MSOC) team investigating.

A manhunt was launched but he was not found until October 25, when officers spotted him at Basildon station.

Harwood had been stopped for travelling without a valid ticket, arrested, and taken into custody to be interviewed.

Forensic evidence, CCTV footage, and the victim’s testimony meant the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorised the rape charge.

BTP Detective Constable Ross McAlpine said: ‘The young victim has shown tremendous courage, not only by speaking up and reporting what happened to her, but by supporting our enquiries and the court proceedings that followed.

‘She has been supported throughout our investigation by specialist officers, and I hope the fact her attacker is now behind bars brings her some sense of justice.’

He called the teenager’s attack ‘premeditated and frankly abhorrent’, adding that he ‘poses a very real threat to women and girls.’

Along with the five year imprisonment, Harwood was given an indefinite restraining order and an eight-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

DC McAlpine added: ‘Tackling sexual offending is a top priority for us at BTP. I would urge anyone who experiences or witnesses this offending to report it to us by texting 61016 or dialling 999 in an emergency.

‘Just as we have in this case, we’ll stop at nothing to put dangerous sex offenders before the courts.’

Andoni Iraola and Jamie Carragher rage at Chris Kavanagh decision at Anfield

Andoni Iraola was left frustrated with one refereeing decision (Picture: Getty Images)

Both Andoni Iraola and Jamie Carragher felt Ryan Gravenberch was harshly treated by referee Chris Kavanagh, who showed the Liverpool midfielder a red card in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

The game was goalless and the Reds in the ascendancy at Anfield when the Dutchman was shown a second yellow card on 62 minutes.

Gravenberch was having a very good game, probably his team’s standout player, and his dismissal had a huge impact on the match.

Just three minutes after he departed, Erling Haaland put the visitors ahead and by the 78th minute Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki had also netted.

Despite the controversy surrounding Manchester City, they left Anfield with a resounding victory and kept up their perfect start to the Premier League season after six games.

Liverpool manager Iraola was disappointed with the first booking Gravenberch received, which was for a foul on Elliot Anderson, which he felt was not a booking.

‘The first one is not a yellow,’ Iraola told Sky Sports. ‘Anderson carries on a couple of steps; he wasn’t even going to give a foul. I’ve no idea why he gives a yellow card. We have like nine players behind the ball.

Ryan Gravenberch’s dismissal proved to be the turning point (Picture: Getty Images)

‘It’s already difficult to press them when it’s 11 v 11, but with one less, it becomes a different game and then we concede straight away before making a substitution. You have to play differently when you’re 1-0 down.’

On commentary, Carragher agreed, saying: ‘It feels really harsh when you think of the two challenges.

‘The first challenge was not a card and the referee was far too quick to get the card out.’

The Reds legend added after the game: ‘It’s such a poor decision by the referee and the thing that frustrates me is that he wasn’t going to give a yellow card. He thinks Anderson’s hurt, as soon as he thinks Anderson’s got a bad injury, he gives him a yellow card. It’s barely a foul, it’s a shocking decision.’

Iraola had praise for Gravenberch and the rest of his players, despite the faltering end to the game as they fell to defeat.

‘He [Gravenberch] played really well today. He was carrying the ball very well and defending very well,’ said the manager.

"That is SOFT… how is that a yellow card?!"
"It's NEVER BEEN a yellow."

‘I feel very proud of the players today. It was not easy. They have been at the level in terms of intensity and winning duels.

‘The supporters today have been top-level. Exemplary from the beginning when we arrive. The red card was in our best moment. Even after, they valued the effort of the players.’

The opinion on the first Gravenberch yellow card was not solely held by those with a Liverpool bias as former Manchester City defender Micah Richards agreed.

‘We talk about the yellow card. That is soft! How is that a yellow card? I don’t understand,’ said the former full-back.

Strictly fans claim Will Best is being treated unfairly with dreaded ‘death slot’

Do you think Dianne Buswell and Will Best could win the show? (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire)

Strictly Come Dancing fans believe Will Best and Dianne Buswell deserve better treatment after being given the ‘death slot’ on the BBC series.

Tonight, the Big Brother host and his professional dance partner took to the dancefloor to perform a stunning Waltz to With You I’m Born Again by Billy Preston & Syreeta.

Their performance was full of emotion, and one of the dances that fans were raving about the most while tweeting about the live show. It scored a 25 from the judges, which some felt was lower than warranted.

However, some viewers claimed that they could be at a disadvantage due to how early they’ve been performing each week in comparison to their competitors, given the fact that the public vote opens at the end of the episode.

In week one, Will, 41, and Dianne, 37, were the first to perform, while in week two, they were in the middle of the schedule. They then performed second in week three and in week four.

‘Why are Will and Dianne going early every week?’ Strictly fan xSuziBethx asked on X, while Carlee3091 quipped: ‘Will and Dianne in the death slot? Oh of course!!’

Another X user called Strictlylmx claimed that Will and Dianne had been ‘slated for the last two weeks and are still getting a death slot Waltz this show’.

The pair landed around the middle of the leaderboard tonight, prompting several people to declare that they should have scored higher for their emotive routine.

‘This was honestly Will’s best dance [so] far. The way he led Dianne, the beautiful quality of dancing I saw tonight,’ kamor_ian0121 remarked.

‘Aawww I loved that from Will and Dianne and their chemistry is so beautiful,’ Margot shared, while Jade added: ‘Did Dianne just turn Will into an actual dancer with that Waltz?! Holy moly! He’s actually got the talent when he’s not leaning into being the joke act. He needs to lock in cos he’s got bags of potential.’

Will said it was an ‘absolute dream’ to take part in Strictly (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire)

Will has an extremely busy schedule at the moment, juggling competing on Strictly with hosting the latest series of Big Brother with former Strictly star AJ Odudu.

After he was announced as the sixth star to be competing on this year’s series, he described it as an ‘absolute dream’ for him, despite also being ‘pretty terrifying’.

‘I’ve been lucky to do lots of live telly before, but absolutely nothing like this. And I cannot wait! I have no idea if I can actually dance, but bring on the sequins, bring on the quicksteps, bring on the dance floor! I’m going to try to enjoy every minute of it,’ he said.

Dianne’s had a strong run on Strictly, earning second place with her now-partner Joe Sugg, ending as the runner-up with Bobby Brazier, and then finally winning with the wonderful Chris McCausland in 2024.

Let’s see if she and Will can make it all the way to the end in the hopes of lifting the Glitterball Trophy this year.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday nights on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
