Honey Mitchell (played by Emma Barton) has been keeping her head in the sand recently over partner, Adam Bateman’s (Stephen Rahman-Hughes) behaviour.

Adam embarked on a secret affair with Habiba Ahmed (Rukku Nahar) and has been stringing the waitress along whilst convincing Honey she has nothing to worry about.

Over the last couple of weeks Honey has grown increasingly suspicious of Adan’s behaviour but refused to believe those closest to her when they shared their concerns.

However after discussions with Habiba and sister Iqra (Priya Davdra), Honey finally worked out the truth and looked set to leave the love rat.

But in a shocking twist Honey told the kids to pack their bags and surprised Adam with a trip away.

Could Honey be planning to take revenge on Adam while they enjoy a secluded break together?

Fans were quick to comment on Honey’s plan and speculated they could be a murderous twist to the story.

One said: “I really want Honey to turn Psycho and kill Adam by mistake #eastenders.”

Another added: “I hope Honey is planning on killing Adam and burying him somewhere abroad. #fingerscrossed #Eastenders.”

“Omg Honey PLEASE kill him on your holiday #eastenders,” a third pleaded.

However since then Stuart has gone on to redeem himself but Mick hasn’t forgiven him.

In tonight’s instalment Stuart was determined to make amends and followed Mick into the storeroom.

After collapsing earlier in the week, Mick could be seen struggling with his breath as he ignored Stuarts cries for forgiveness.

Giving up, Stuart went to leave just as Mick collapsed to the floor.

Will Stuart help Mick before it’s too late?

EastEnders continues tomorrow at 8pm on BBC One.

Kim Tate (played by Claire King) has a reputation of manipulating those around her until she gets what she wants and despite trying to convince her family that she’s changed it looks like she’s up to no good this week.

During a heart-to-heart with Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) Kim berates her for cheating on Pete Barton (Antony Quinlan) and Rhona doesn’t take the criticism well.

Later on Kim finds herself in a spot of trouble when her gets stuck in the mud and she’s unable to get help.

Luckily, Pete comes along and frees the car with his tractor causing Kim to insist they share a drink together.

However his threatening call had the opposite effect and now Billy could be about to risk all to protect Ellis.

Ellis has been living in fear ever since his attack during Emmerdale’s Big Night Out.

Following on from his stabbing, the Dales resident was convinced he spotted Max in the village.

But Billy’s attempt to warn Max backfired and he ended up agreeing to helping the villain out with a dodgy job.

With Max wanting revenge after the brothers backed out of a dodgy deal earlier in the year, could Billy’s life be in danger?

In other Emmerdale news, Ryan Hawley quits soap after five years of playing Robert Sudden.

News emerged on The Sun earlier this week suggesting he will be leaving the village shortly. 

A source told the publication: “Emmerdale fans have loved every minute of RobRon’s story, and what Ryan has brought to playing Robert.

“But he has decided to take a break from the show for the foreseeable future and try other projects.

“He will leave later this year, but fans can expect to see him on screen right up until the end of the year. He will be sorely missed.”

Steve Dymond was set to appear as a guest on the show, which has now been pulled off air indefinitely following the shock revelations on Monday. The 63-year-old, named by The Sun, died just a week after the show was filmed. He participated in a lie detector test in a bid to prove that allegations he had cheated on fiance Jane Callaghan were not true.

However, he was found to have cheated and days later reports suggest he died of a drugs overdose.

Ms Callaghan told The Sun that she and Mr Dymond had got engaged on Christmas day in 2017.

She said: “He was crying, the love was real. He was the most generous and loving person.

“He was quietly struggling and we didn’t know at the time. He cheated on me, I know he did.

“I can’t forgive but I just want him to be alive.”

Despite the controversial nature of the show, she praised the show’s team for their aftercare efforts.

She said just before they were set to record the show, Mr Dymond had convinced her he hadn’t cheated.

The show was recorded on May 2 but Ms Callaghan revealed she last saw him four days before he was found dead last week.

The broadcaster said the episode featuring the participant who died will be submitted for a review due to the “seriousness of this event”.

An ITV spokeswoman said: “Everyone at ITV and The Jeremy Kyle Show is shocked and saddened at the news of the death of a participant in the show a week after the recording of the episode they featured in and our thoughts are with their family and friends.

“ITV will not screen the episode in which they featured.”

Monday’s edition of the programme was cancelled and immediately replaced by a filler programme.

The channel has now suspended the programme to “conduct a review” of the episode and what happened.

A celebrity edition of the show starring former X Factor contestant Christopher Maloney and ex-EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook was due to air on Tuesday, but will be rescheduled, according to both stars.

The tabloid talk show sees host Kyle and psychotherapist Graham Stanier help the guests talk through their personal issues in front of a studio audience.

The programme has had its regular daytime morning slot on ITV since 2005.

Damian Collins, chairman of the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, told the Daily Mail: “TV companies have a duty to care to the people who take part in their programmes.”

The Channel 4 reality series has become hugely popular since it debuted over four years ago, with directing staff Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, Ollie Ollerton and Billy Billingham becoming stars in their own right.

This series marks a huge change for the gruelling course, and sees the likes of Victoria Pendleton, Jeremy Irvine, Sam Thompson, and Louise Mensch taking part in the various challenges.

Made in Chelsea star Sam may have struggled the most, admitting he’s had it “easier than many people” in life.

The recruit swiftly became a favourite on the show with the other recruits and staff despite this however, and Ant and Jason in particular gushed over his hilarious antics on the programme.

Yet in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Sam sheepishly admitted there was one particularly tough moment during filming he considered cheating.

He shared: “I’ll never forget there was a moment where we were walking up the hill.

“I thought, ‘I think I’m going to cheat here’. Don’t think I’ve told anybody this actually.

“[I reasoned] I’m going to take all my stuff out my bag and hide it. I know we’re coming back down.”

Stunned at the celebrity recruit’s admission, Olympic sports star Victoria declared: “That’s terrible!”

Getting into his stride, reality star Sam continued: “And then do you remember when Ant goes, ‘Let me check your bags after you’ve done the walk’?

“Oh my god I’m so happy I didn’t do that!” the television personality exclaimed with a giggle.

Actor Jeremy Irvine went on to shed light on Sam’s tale, explaining about the heavy items the team had to put in their Bergen backpacks.

“There was a sand bag we had to fill full of rocks and stuff and put in the back for the weight,” he noted.

Having only watched the first episode, the celebrities were nervous about watching themselves throughout the rest of the process.

In particular, Sam cringed as he said: “No I haven’t seen anything else, I dread to think!”

Jason also joked he and the other staff had “picked on” Sam the most in the show.

“He’s f*****g Made in Chelsea isn’t he?” the ex Special Forces soldier laughed. “No, it’s not that at all, just because he needed to be picked on, to sort of bring him into the world we were in.

“I think he was still in cloud cuckoo land so he needed to be brought down a peg or two. It wasn’t that we wanted to break him… no that’s a lie. It wasn’t that we were trying to literally annihilate him, he just needed to be put in his place.”

“He was a little bit out there with the fairies. Everyone else was taking it quite seriously but he was treating it like he does everything in life so he needed to know where the f**k he was standing,” the author and TV star added.

SAS Who Dares Wins continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.

US State Secretary Mike Pompeo can easily find out that Moscow strictly abides by the INF nuclear missile treaty the US is threatening to quit – by taking up an invitation to the test of the Russian missile, a Moscow senator says.

The symbolic invite from the head of the Russian Senate’s defense and security committee came right after Pompeo declared Russia “in violation” of the landmark Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) and announced that the US will withdraw from it in 60 days if Moscow’s behavior does not change.

“Today, we must confront Russian cheating on its arms controls obligations,” Pompeo told reporters following NATO foreign ministers’ meeting. He also claimed that Russia’s new cruise missile, that it allegedly “has been flight-testing … since the mid-2000s,” violates the INF treaty.

Russia has ‘60 days to fix compliance with INF’ or US will quit – Pompeo



Russia “can invite Pompeo to personally visit the test” of the missile he says violates the treaty, Senator Franz Klintsevich said. He added that the weapon system, which has attracted such obsessive attention of the Western officials, has a range of 498 kilometers – less than the bottom boundary set for missiles banned by the treaty.

Calling the stir around the Russian ‘secret weapon’ absolutely baseless, he argued it’s being used by Washington to “deceive the international community and advance its own plans.” Klintsevich believes that the accusations are simply an excuse for the US to leave the treaty.

Washington is “well aware” of Russia’s “full compliance” with the INF treaty, Russia’s Foreign Ministry’s Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said responding to Pompeo Monday.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has meanwhile echoed Pompeo’s ultimatum to Moscow by saying that “Russia now has a last chance to come back into compliance with the INF Treaty but we must also start to prepare for a world without the treaty.”

With the US apparently determined to leave the agreement, which its NATO allies called “a pillar of Euro-Atlantic security for more than 30 years,” Moscow said that Washington’s move would not be left unanswered.

“If the US withdraws from the INF and deploys short and medium-range missiles in Europe, Russia will increase the number of missiles on its European territories,” another Russian senator, Vladimir Dzhabarov said.

Over the past years, the US has been claiming that Russia has been violating the INF by building missiles that exceed the prohibited range. Moscow has refuted the allegations and in turn accused the US of non-compliance, arguing that Washington can convert the missile defense sites in Eastern Europe into offensive intermediate-range launchers.

The tensions around the agreement heightened in October when US National Security Advisor John Bolton reaffirmed US President Donald Trump’s intent to pull out from the INF agreement during his visit to Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin responded that Washington’s decision to withdraw from the agreement “cannot and will not be left unanswered.”

Meanwhile, not everyone in Washington has been supportive of plans to withdraw from the treaty. Several US senators have criticized President Donald Trump’s willingness to leave the agreement by saying the move lacked “strategic forethought” and could jeopardize other arms control treaties.

Viewers have seen Kush (played by Davood Ghadami) struggling lately as he’s become very withdrawn and taken to drinking heavily on BBC soap EastEnders.

The problem reached new heights in Tuesday’s episode at Ian Beale’s (Adam Woodyatt) restaurant opening where it looked as though he was about to sleep with Talia, a new worker at the eatery.

Last night’s instalment confirmed the pair had slept together as Kush woke up in bed next to the newcomer having cheated on girlfriend Denise (Diane Parish).

Carmel Kazemi (Bonnie Langford) saw the waitress slipping out of Kush’s room and suspected her son had been up to no good.

Kush tried to play it off like the girl had been a stranger in distress who needed somewhere to sleep for the night, but it was clear Carmel didn’t buy the lie.

In his intoxicated state the night before, Kush had also revealed Kim Fox’s (Tameka Empson) pregnancy secret and so he set about apologising to her in yesterday’s episode.

After that, he sought advice from Martin Fowler (James Bye) about his infidelity and what he should do now.

Kush told his friend he wanted to come clean to Denise, but Martin subtly urged him against it.

Knowing what it’s like to be cheated on, Martin wasn’t so sure that it would be a wise move to tell Denise.

But it was clear the guilt was overwhelming Kush as he went to spill the secret to Denise, however he was stopped when he saw Carmel.

It’s clear Carmel is concerned for her son’s wellbeing, but could she tell Denise the truth as tensions mount in tonight’s episode?

Meanwhile, plenty of viewers aren’t happy with what Kush has done to Denise.

“Noooo Kush, How could you cheat on Denise,” one fan lamented on Twitter.

A second added.“Can’t believe kush cheated on Denise #eastenders.”

“Oh Kush what have you done? #Eastenders,” a third questioned.

However, his unusual behaviour has come about as a result of Shakil Kazemi’s (Shaheen Jafargholi) death.

Kush didn’t break down so much at first as he was there to support their mother after their tragic loss.

But now the roles have reversed for the pair as Kush is the one struggling to cope.

Kush star Davood revealed to Express.co.uk earlier this year that this change would be coming.

He said: “I think his role has been trying to support his mum and I think that’s something he wants to do naturally but it’s also something for him, to find his leafletting equivalent that he can keep his eye on, that can make him focus away from the tragedy of what’s happened.

“But like I say, there’s no way someone could go through this and not have it touch pretty much everything they do.

“Whether you think about it every minute, every hour, you’re thinking about it everyday. Kush has been through a lot of tragedy in his life anyway and it just seems to get closer and closer to home for him.

“Again, it’s not something that he’s going to be able to lock away.”

EastEnders continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One.

Cheating is something many people in committed romantic relationships are afraid their partner might be doing.

Being unfaithful towards a partner involves betraying their trust if you are in a monogamous relationship.

But could you tell if a partner is cheating on you? There are certain signs that make it easier to tell.

Patti Wood, a body language and relationships expert, told This Is Insider magazine that someone’s change in behaviour might be a sure sign they are being unfaithful.

There is a certain telltale sign that recurs time and time again in relationships where someone is cheating, according to Patti.

If your partner is avoiding serious conversation at all costs it could be a sign that they are cheating on you.

She explained: “If you’re telling your partner that you’re feeling a certain way and they smile, that is not a normal reaction for a loving partner to have. Dupers delight is when they get pleasure from your pain.”

“Intuitively you can usually tell the difference between someone who is trying to avoid a conversation and someone who is getting pleasure out of seeing you upset. That’s a huge red flag.”

However, this is not the only sign your partner might be cheating on you with someone else.

Apparently, another sign is when your partner begins to spend a lot more time on their personal hygiene.

Signs of this include them showering more often or wearing a new aftershave or perfume.

This might be because they are trying to hide the scent of someone else, or putting in the effort to impress whoever they are cheating with.

“If you’re noticing them put a little more time into self-care, and it’s not for you, then they are probably doing it for someone else,” said Patti.

Earlier this year, it was revealed what kind of person your partner might be cheating with.

Cheating in a relationship is increasingly common, with one in five British adults saying they’ve had an affair. But what is it that makes a person take the leap – to go from being tempted to being an adulterer?

There are certain traits that husbands and wives are most attracted to when considering an affair, according to a new survey by Ashley Madison, the married dating website.

The website surveyed 1,010 of its members to come up with the top five qualities men and women look for when they’re thinking about being unfaithful.

The most popular quality was humour at 27 percent for women and 19 percent for men, proving that affairs aren’t always solely physical.

Next came passion, which was slightly more important for men at 18 percent, with 15 percent of women ranking it important.

Third was intelligence at 14 percent for men and 12 percent for women.

Cheating scandals are a common occurrence in politics, but they still get people to stop and take notice. When an elected official is involved in an affair, it can be tough to look away — especially when all of the dirty details are on full display in the media.

From community leaders to the highest office in the land, political cheating scandals don’t discriminate. Men, women, Democrats, and Republicans have all found themselves addressing issues of infidelity in front of a captive audience. Here’s a look at some of the most high-profile cheaters in modern politics.

Anthony Weiner had two very public cheating scandals.

AP

New York congressman Anthony Weiner’s high profile sexting scandals cost him his job and his marriage. First, in 2011, Weiner admitted to sending sexually explicit pictures of himself to as many as six different women online over a period of three years. During that time, Weiner had become engaged to Hillary Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin in 2009, and the pair married in 2010.

After the scandal, he resigned from Congress but tried to make a comeback in the 2013 New York City mayoral race. That campaign was cut short when it was revealed that Weiner was sexting with another woman under the pseudonym “Carlos Danger.”

Then in 2016, Weiner plead guilty to sending explicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl. Weiner’s actions not only led to the end of his marriage to Abedin (she filed for divorce in 2016 though later decided to settle out of court privately), but he is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence for sending obscene material to a minor.

Mark Sanford cheated with a journalist.

AP

In 2009, former governor, Mark Sanford gave a press conference in front of the South Carolina statehouse to admit that he had been unfaithful to his wife Jenny with a journalist from Argentina for over a year.

The affair was disclosed after the governor’s whereabouts were unknown for nearly a week. Sanford’s staffers explained his absence by telling reporters that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, though it was eventually revealed that Sanford had actually been spending time with his mistress in Buenos Aires.

Despite having to resign the governorship, Sanford was able to make a political comeback winning a seat in the House of Representatives. He would eventually be defeated by Katie Arrington in the 2018 Republican primary.

Rudy Giuliani cheated on his third wife.

Peter Morgan/Reuters

Rudy Giuliani is one of the most recognizable figures in modern American politics. But his personal life often receives just as much media attention as his political career. The former New York City mayor and current member of President Trump’s legal team has been married three times — all three have ended in divorce.

Giuliani was unfaithful to his third wife Judith. She filed for divorce when it was revealed that Giuliani was having an affair with a 53-year-old New Hampshire hospital administrator, according to The New York Post’s Page Six.

When confronted about his infidelity during the 2016 presidential campaign while he was an advisor to the Trump campaign, Giuliani did not deny his indiscretions, but rather insisted on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that cheating is something that “everybody does.”

The company said it won’t be appealing the fine, one of the highest ever imposed by Berlin.

The €1 billion (US$ 1.8 billion) fine was ordered by the prosecutor’s office in the German city of Braunschweig. It’s the latest move against the car manufacturer, which admitted in 2015 that it had equipped cars with software that turned on emissions controls when vehicles were undergoing anti-pollution tests in the US. Those controls were later reduced during normal driving.

Volkswagen said it would not be appealing the fine, which was imposed due to organizational deficiencies in supervision which failed to prevent “impermissible software functions” from being installed in 10.7 million cars between 2007 and 2015.

“Following thorough examination, Volkswagen AG accepted the fine and it will not lodge an appeal against it. Volkswagen AG, by doing so, admits its responsibility for the diesel crisis and considers this as a further major step toward the latter being overcome,” the company said in a statement.

The prosecutor’s office made it clear that the €1 billion fine does not address any additional civil claims or claims by vehicle owners.

The latest fine comes on top of some $ 20 billion in fines imposed on the car maker, in fines and civil settlements in the US. The Wednesday announcement also comes just two days after prosecutors in Munich widened an emissions cheating investigation into Volkswagen’s luxury carmaker Audi, to include the brand’s chief executive officer among those suspected of fraud and false advertising.

YouTube doesn’t have it easy managing the ads it automatically inserts itself, but it’s another challenge entirely to manage the ads baked into the videos themselves. The online video giant has pulled over 1,400 videos after a BBC investigation found more than 250 channels had mid-video ads for EduBirdie, a Ukraine-based essay cheating service. YouTube had given some of these channels until May 4th to edit the ads out of their videos, but not all of them made it before the cutoff point.

It’s not certain if YouTube will let users re-upload videos without the ads. The promos aren’t strictly illegal, but they do violate YouTube’s ad policies.

Not surprisingly, those affected are upset. In some cases, they’ve lost months’ worth of video in a heartbeat. They’ve also complained that YouTube didn’t do enough to communicate its policies on ads like these, although that argument only hold so much water given that EduBirdie was clearly intended for cheating.

YouTube has promised changes: it’ll be “working with creators going forward” to help them understand that these ads aren’t acceptable. It still faces an uphill battle, though. It’s not easy to detect baked-in ads like this, as they often vary significantly from video to video — unlike music, YouTube can’t just scan for familiar cues. Moreover, many video creators don’t fully understand policies even when content is potentially illegal. It could be a long, long while before unscrupulous ads become a rarity.
