Emmerdale 'confirms' Robron reunion in major clue after Robert's prison release
Emmerdale has seemingly confirmed John Sudgden's downfall in tonight's episode, as Robert It was another dramatic night in Emmerdale tonight, as Robert Sugden made his long awaited return to the village. Of course, he had to make a visit to see his ex Aaron and his brother John - and one huge clue has fans believing a Robron reunion is finally on its way. Aaron and John were seen having a romantic night in, when they heard a knock at the door. To their surprise, it was none other than Aaron's ex and John's brother, Robert at the door. Having just been released from prison, Robert smugly asked the pair if he could join their night. "This your gaffe? A bit pokey compared to where we used to live," he continued, before Aaron asked: "What are you doing here?" Rob then told the pair he had just been released from prison, before saying: "Thought I'd spend some time with my family." However, a less than impressed Aaron stood up and responded: "Well not here you're not, get out." Robert didn't put up a fight to stay, although he told Aaron he'd be seeing him soon. With a huge pause, he then ended the sentence by saying: "Family" and looking John straight in the eye. However, it was Aaron's face fans couldn't look away from as they noticed a smirk when his ex-lover walked into the room. Despite pretending in front of husband John he wanted Robert gone, he wasn't fooling fans. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "The way Aaron smirked when Robert walked through the door. Oh John you're so done!" A second commented: "The way both Aaron and John know they're done for now, and both in completely different ways. "Aaron because he knows him and Rob are inevitable and John because he knows Robert will absolutely destroy him." Others were certain Rob would be the one to bring John down "I love Rob. he is going to taunt the hell out of John #emmerdale." Aaron and Robert recently shared a kiss during his wedding to John. Viewers recently saw John spiralling when he found out, making a dark threat to Robert suggesting he would hurt him if he went back to the village. If Aaron and Robert do get back together how will John react? Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.

In More To Life, Aaron hilariously describes the everyday dramas of growing up in a Northern, working class household, living on a council estate, and the relentless optimism needed to pursue your dreams. His dad left just after he was born (a decision that's hard not to take personally…was it something he said?), and at one of his NINETEEN schools, he was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD (tricky, as he doesn't 'present' as autistic). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad More To Life is a gag-heavy, relatable, upbeat and heartwarming show that talks about toxic masculinity, trying to avoid 'alphas', and the mental health issues that can plague those with seemingly little options. It's an hour that invites laughs while asking, is there really more to life than this? Aaron Wood: More To Life Aaron Wood grew up on a council estate in Stockport, Greater Manchester. He works as a carer for his disabled mother during the day and currently lives with his girlfriend in Hyde, Greater Manchester. Diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at a young age, Aaron always found school tricky and moved around many times, attending (did we mention this?) NINETEEN different schools throughout his childhood for a multitude of reasons. After struggling academically and never content with being the quiet kid class he made the predictable jump into stand up. With a reputation as a grafter, his laid back, affable style has seen him complete two back to back sell out WIP runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and landed him tour support for huge Australian comic Luke Kidgell, Tom Stade, Fin Taylor, Eshaan Akbar, Connor Burns, Carl Hutchinson, MC Hammersmith, Hayley Ellis, Liam Withnail, Josh Jones and Ignacio Lopez.

Absolutely Everything We Know About Sam Taylor-Johnson
It's been an exciting week for red carpets. Under 24 hours after Jurassic World Rebirth made its premiere in Leicester Square, London, the highly anticipated 28 Years Later had its world premiere. The film is a sequel to Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic horror film, and features a star-studded cast including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Alfie Williams, a 14-year-old newcomer set to make an impact on the big screen. The film is set 30 years after the original, and focuses on how humanity has adapted to survive. True to the film's style, the red carpet was decorated with biohazard signs and in one section, several skulls. Joining Aaron on the red carpet was his wife, Sam Taylor Johnson, who he's been with for 15 years. The pair put on a loved up display at the premiere, and lots of people are curious to know more about the woman who captured Sam's heart. Sam Taylor-Johnson is a director, whose debut was Nowhere Boy, in which Aaron played a future John Lennon. It was hugely successful, and Sam went on to cement her name in the industry. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she spoke about her decision to cast Aaron as John Lennon. 'It wasn't about, "Oh this guy looks like Lennon,"' Sam told the outlet. 'Because I think, as you said, by the time you finish watching the film it doesn't matter that Aaron's not identical to him. He's sort of embodied the spirit of him, which I think was much more important to try and get across.' Over her career, Sam has a number of successful movie titles under her belt, including Back to Black, Fifty Shades of Grey, and A Million Little Pieces. Sam Taylor-Johnson was born on 4 March 1967, making her 58-years-old. This means there's a 23-year-age gap between her and Aaron, who is 35-years-old. The pair have addressed this age gap in past interviews. 'I don't really analyse our relationship,' Sam told Mr. Porter. 'I just know that it works. I just feel secure and loved and safe. We have this very deep connection. We're just in sync.' In a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sam said: 'If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage. People like to talk about it. I'm like, 'Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage'. It's lasted longer than a lot of my friends' marriages.' Prior to meeting Aaron, she was married to the art deal Jay Joplin for eleven years, and the couple have two daughters. Aaron told The Telegraph in 2019 he 'knew instantly' that Sam was his 'soulmate'. The couple had a whirlwind romancer that all began on set. Aaron and Sam met in 2008 filming Nowhere Boy, which was Sam's directorial debut. Aaron was 18 when they met, and Sam was 42. Things moved pretty quickly from there; the pair the following year and got married in 2012 after having two children together, who were born in 2010 and 2012. 'We were very professional through the entire film. ... But everyone on set knew. And as soon as we finished, he told me he was going to marry me. We had never been on a date, or even kissed,' Sam told Harper's Bazaar in 2019. Aaron added: 'And a year to the minute after we met, exactly one year to the minute, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.' In a 2013 interview with The Independent, Aaron gushed that Sam was a wonderful mother. 'My whole thing, my priority, is my family, my kids, and my wife,' he told the newspaper. 'That's my future. I don't really care about what role is next. I don't live to act, to go from job to job ... I live for my wife and my kids and I wake up to them and that's what I enjoy.' Sam was previously married to Jay Jopling, an art dealer and gallerist, and Sam was working as a photographer at the time. The couple wed in 1997 and had two children together, before announcing their split in 2008. In a joint statement, they said: 'Jay Jopling and Sam Taylor-Wood are saddened to announce that, after 11 years of marriage, they have agreed amicably to separate. No other parties are involved.' The statement continued, 'For the sake of their two daughters, who are their number one priority, they have asked that their privacy be respected.'

Digital platform 'Rakan' to tackle unity-related complaints
SHAH ALAM: The National Unity Ministry has introduced a new initiative, the National Public Community Complaints Network (Rakan), as a dedicated digital platform to facilitate public complaints related to unity issues. Its minister Datuk Aaron Aro Dagang said the platform will strengthen the management of information and responses to community complaints while enhancing the efficiency of monitoring systems for safety and harmony at the grassroots level. "Rakan is an initiative to bring the public closer to the government in empowering communities to maintain national harmony. "We are confident this initiative can foster a sense of social responsibility among the public in addressing sensitive issues that could threaten unity," he told reporters after launching the platform here today. Developed by the National Unity and Integration Department, Rakan is accessible starting today via the website Aaron assured that all complaint information will be kept confidential, where district unity officers will review the reports and share them with the right agencies at local, state, or national levels. Authorities like the police and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will also be involved when needed. Earlier in his speech, Aaron said the ministry aims to raise the National Unity Index (IPNas) score to at least 0.70 this year, up from 0.629 in 2022. He said IPNas is the country's only official tool for measuring national unity and harmony, which recorded its first score in 2018 at 0.567. "To achieve the target IPNas score of 0.70 this year, the ministry has implemented various efforts, including community dialogues, multi-ethnic integration programmes and continuous empowerment of grassroots roles. "Importantly, improving the IPNas score is not just about statistics but about strengthening the nation's social foundation, from perception to action," he said. Aaron said the ministry is actively exploring new digital avenues to strengthen unity, including online applications for Rukun Tetangga (neighbourhood watch) formations, enhancing systematic reporting and monitoring mechanisms and developing a centralised community data analytics system for targeted interventions. He said these efforts are being driven through the creation of a community analytics database under the department, which is expected to form the backbone of the ministry's digital strategy in advancing a more holistic and inclusive national unity agenda.

From Turkey Teeth to a Turkish Jail - British woman's 'please help me' plea
A British woman who went to Turkey with her partner to get new teeth found herself landed in a Turkish prison after celebrations to mark their new gnashers led to her arrest. Georgia Harrison and her partner Aaron had travelled to Antalya in Turkey for Aaron to have new dental veneers fitted, a treatment that has become very popular with so-called 'Medical Tourists' from Britain and Ireland. However, after celebrating Aaron's new pearly whites a little too much, Georgia admits she 'got drunk' and 'somehow smashed the shower screen' in her hotel bathroom as well as causing other damage to the hotel room. On realising what she had done, she made a big mistake and tried to leave the hotel and fly back to the UK. Antalya in Turkey. Pic: Shutterstock In a post on her Go Fund Me Page, Georgia wrote 'Me and Arron obviously saw the damage and left, we was in a taxi going to the airport to fly home cause I knew I'd done wrong and didn't know what to do' she says. They were subsequently followed by hotel staff who called the police, Georgia was arrested and spent 24 hours in a Turkish jail with, she says, over 100 Turkish men. She claims a Turkish translator tricked her into signing a document promising to pay the hotel damages in the amount of 15,000 pounds, money she admits she does not have. Now she claims the Turkish authorities have put a 'Travel Ban' on the British mum of one, and have prevented her from leaving the country. Georgia Harrison. Pic: GoFundMe Her family in the UK have since set up the 'Go Fund Me' page to try to raise the 15,000 pounds. Georgia says the hotel is demanding she pays them the compensation, and is also asking for help with the costs of an unexpected and so far, 6-week extended stay in Turkey. The mum of a 12-year-old daughter called Poppy, who is back in the UK, continues in her social media post, 'Now I'm living in cheap hotels miles away from the original hotel as I'm being followed by the owners everywhere I go and I feel so unsafe. 'It is so expensive to just get by until I hear news from the lawyer. It's been 6 weeks'.
