Huge Emmerdale exit as beloved character is ordered to move out
Things have been strained between Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) and Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) since Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) left the house in Emmerdale, and a violent attack is set to tip things over the edge. Paddy and Bear have butted heads since Bear left Eve playing with some dangerous sleeping pills, and Paddy saw his carelessness as a threat to Eve's life. They came to verbal blows again when Bear played the inconsiderate housemate by trying to fix his bike all over the house. While anyone on the outside looking in can see something is up with Bear, Paddy is simply growing more and more frustrated. They find common ground again and seem to be getting along, and when Paddy suffers a vicious dog attack while saving a sheep, Bear comes to his rescue and saves the day. The attack is bad; Paddy is mauled and needs surgery. Having fought off the dog, Bear gets his son to hospital and anxiously waits with Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) for news. Paddy pulls through, but instead of relief, Bear unleashes a torrent of abuse on his son and his son's character. Mandy makes him leave, but the damage is done. Bear's words wound him more than the dog's teeth, and once home and well enough, he grabs his vets' gun and heads off to Celia's farm and confronts her about her dog – which is something Bear tells him to do. But the confrontation goes about as well as Bear's post-surgery pep talk. Paddy spirals and his birthday is a non-event due to his low mood. He confronts Bear over his bad advice and the fallout is catastrophic. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

Paddy harshly berates Bear for his treatment of him and then he snaps – ordering Bear to move out for good. Their relationship is done. More Trending But with something clearly brewing with Bear, will fragile Paddy be left with the guilt of the way he's now treated his dad when whatever it is comes to light? Teasing the arrival of new character Celia, played by Jaye Griffiths, Dominic Brunt said: 'I don't think anybody's come across anyone like Celia before! She's brilliant. She's a true baddie. And in the same way that like classic baddies, like Kim Tate, for example, the way that they actually enjoy being a baddie, the reason they are a villain is because they enjoy being a villain, you know, not because they have any choice, but they enjoy it. And she's got that, you know, she really likes toying with people. View More » 'She's got nothing to lose. She's in her own space and time, and she's in charge, and you'll never get one past her.'

Woman buys from Vinted but is floored when item arrives in 'baffling' packaging
A woman shared a video of the package in which her Vinted order arrived, prompting others to share the most bizarre items they've received or sent their items in When you're receiving goods from the general public rather than a reputable business, it may mean you receive some quirkily wrapped items, so sellers can maximise their profits from apps such as Vinted. That's why one woman was left dumbfounded when she saw what her parcel had been sent in. This often means that instead of using a bag, which could set someone back around £8 for a multi-pack on Amazon, Vinted items are dispatched in an assortment of unusual containers. When Jen, who shares her experiences on Instagram as @cuteandperfectalways, went to retrieve her parcel from an InPost locker, she was left with a fresh sense of "perspective" due to the seller's unusual choice of packaging. As she opened the locker, she captioned her video: "Life just isn't that serious. My Vinted parcel, for example, arrived in the form of breadsticks." She displayed the rather battered box of breadsticks housing the item she'd purchased, sparking a wave of comments sharing the strangest ways people had received their second-hand goods or had sent them out themselves. One woman confessed: "I sent a book in a cut-up Weetabix box, so I get it". "I was reusing Easter egg boxes at one point," a Vinted seller revealed. Parcel delivery tales have taken a quirky turn. One person revealed they received a package in a "cat food box," while another was left feeling exposed when their purchase arrived wrapped only in cling film. "Mine came in a holey Oreo box once," divulged a woman, and another recounted how a T-shirt they bought turned up in "a Ferrero Rocher box. "The tape at the top is holding on for dear life," a user quipped, sparking laughter online. Some defended the Vinted sender's choice to repurpose packaging, with comments like: "Upcycle, like who cares as long as your item isn't covered in breadcrumbs or something. "Reduce, reuse, recycle," chimed in an eco-conscious shopper, endorsing the sustainable approach. However, not all upcycling attempts are successful, as one buyer lamented: "A ceramic candle I'd ordered arrived in a Frazzles Crisp packet. The candle, strangely enough, had not survived the journey," because it had smashed to pieces due to the lack of protection it had been given. Others embraced the trend, joking that "upcycling is so cool," and expressing their eagerness to try it out themselves next time they sell an item on the app. "I am not ready for my building to judge me for it [getting sent parcels in random containers], so I opt for 'collect' instead of home delivery. One day I'll grow up," confessed a self-aware shopper.
