Emmerdale spoilers tease unlikely character 'exposes' John as he 'kills again'
More than one character could be onto Emmerdale killer John Sugden next week, as spoilers tease an unlikely person could rumble the truth.
It comes as Nate Robinson's 'real killer' is unmasked, when the police deliver some shocking news. His family learn who 'really' killed him, but it isn't John who gets named by detectives or who even confesses to the crime.
There's big twists ahead and it could lead to the downfall of John who sets a plan in motion. While it kicks off perfectly a couple of errors could unravel the whole thing, and see him exposed for two murders.
More is to be revealed, by spoilers detail some big twists in the fallout to John orchestrating framing newcomer Owen for Nate's death. John accidentally killed Nate in September and dumped his body in the lake, with it only discovered weeks ago.
Amid his family coming to terms with his death and people being blamed, Owen, who was recently seen drugging Robert Sugden before trying to flee with him, makes a return to the village. Robert's brother John turned him away then and saved Robert, and in upcoming scenes he's shown kicking him out of the doctors surgery.

But it seems upcoming scenes will show him setting up Owen, claiming he has confessed to Nate's murder. This is delved into next week when detectives reveal they have a confession and even a motive, or a story of what happened between Owen and Nate.
In a dark twist though Owen is dead, with him believed to have taken his own life. Liam Cavanagh heads to the patient's address and is concerned by a lack of response, with the police soon arriving and finding him dead.
When a detective finds a 'suicide note' on his laptop with a written confession to killing Nate, John's plan seems to be working. So Has he struck again and killed Owen, before pinning Nate's murder on him? More importantly, will the story be bought?
When Nate's dad Cain Dingle and wife Tracy Robinson are told the news they are struggling to process the information. John then acts shocked about the ongoing events, and when Robert finds out he's left shaken especially given what happened with Owen just weeks ago.
But all this does is raise his suspicions over John given the coincidence that Owen is apparently involved. He decides to investigate, especially when he learns John has been at Owen's house right before he died.
Robert sets up a meeting with Owen's brother Steve, and is left reeling to uncover Owen 'can't have killed Nate' as he had a tight alibi for the day he was killed. Robert heads to the police station, claiming to have new information about Nate's murder - but what will he reveal and will John be exposed?
It might not be Robert who exposes his killer brother though, as Paddy Kirk could be about to rumble the truth in a surprising twist. We know that John has been struggling with what he did to Nate and has turned to a helpline numerous times.
He's gotten close to spilling the beans and it's been teased that he may break, and may give away what he's done. This continues next week when he once again makes contact, but it seems he's been messaging them and not actually speaking on the phone.
Next week, his volunteer suggests a call rather than a message, which would give away his voice. So when it's revealed next week that Paddy is volunteering on a crisis helpline, surely this could be a major hint that he is the volunteer John is messaging, and if yes then surely it's only a matter of time before Paddy hears John's voice and realises what's going on.
As for Robert next week, he's still causing drama as he continues to plot behind Moira Dingle's back after convincing her to sell him the farm - while in cahoots with Kim Tate. With Robert then planning to sign over to Kim, he's stopped in his tracks by her desperation and senses she is hiding something.
Kim tells Joe Tate no one can find out their plans, so Robert does some digging to see what she's after the land but soon Kim flees to Dubai. With it left in Joe's hands, who goes to see Moira and reiterates Kim's offer to buy the farm.
Moira has a difficult decision to make but what will she do and what is Kim up to? Elsewhere next week, Marlon Dingle is gutted when daughter April Windsor refuses to return to college and there's drama for Mack Boyd and Charity Dingle.
When Mack finds out his wife has offered to be her granddaughter Sarah's surrogate without even telling him he's aghast, and it leads to an explosive argument. It's Eric Pollard who's told Mack all, leaving his grandson Jacob Gallagher furious.
Soon Eric tells him and Sarah he's worried about her shortened life expectancy, and that's why he's sabotaging things. Mack and Charity can't come to an agreement meanwhile, and soon he gives her an ultimatum: it's the surrogacy or their marriage. So will the pair split for good?

Loose Women star says John Torode has been treated 'worse than a serial killer' after BBC axe
Many celebrities have shown their support towards John Torode after he was axed from his role in BBC's MasterChef following claims of racist language used on set. Former MasterChef host John Torode was left outraged after discovering he had been axed from the culinary competition, having stumbled upon the announcement online. The 59-year-old presenter was reportedly heartbroken when the BBC and production company Banijay confirmed he was sacked from the show following allegations of racist language. The news of John's racist remarks and dismissal comes shortly after the corporation cut ties with his co-presenter Gregg Wallace, after 45 complaints were made for misconduct claims, the Mirror reports. The BBC released an official statement, saying: "John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by law firm Lewis Silkin." "John Torode denies the allegation. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract will not be renewed," the statement continued. It is believed that John's agent was told of the news only 11 minutes before news sites published the announcement and the public knew. In the wake of the controversy, certain celebrities are rallying behind John, with Loose Women star Jane Moore expressing her disbelief towards the whole ordeal in her most recent column. The TV personality wrote in her column with The Sun, stating: "What the hell? Even serial killers get to see the evidence against them and put up a defence in court." "But in the world of corporate HR, it seems that a Caesar-like thumbs up or down is delivered on someone's reputation and career without the chance to mount a robust challenge," she continued. Taking to Instagram John showed his disbelief at the news, declaring: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay - I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of." "The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few days seem to have prevented that..." "I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else." He concluded the statement saying: "Thank you for the many years of MasterChef. JOHN TORODE." As well as Jane, McFly's Danny Jones and ITV personality Amanda Holden have shown their support towards the former MasterChef host by liking his Instagram post.

John Torode's MasterChef replacement 'confirmed' as Gogglebox fan favourite following BBC axe
A favourite to replace John Torode on MasterChef has emerged in the wake of the BBC's bombshell announcement that the 59-year-old had been sacked from the show. A Gogglebox fan favourite has emerged as the leading contender to replace John Torode on MasterChef following his dismissal. In a shocking revelation, the BBC confirmed on Tuesday, July 16, that they would not be renewing his contract. It comes after an historic allegation of racism which the Australian chef, 59, strongly denies and claims to have no recollection of, was upheld by an independent investigation into John's co-host, Gregg Wallace. This development followed the termination of Gregg, 60, from MasterChef in light of the inquiry into his conduct. The investigation, carried out by legal firm Lewis Silkin, found that 45 out of 83 accusations levelled against the father-of-three were corroborated. These were predominantly involving inappropriate sexual language and humour. In the aftermath of Gregg and John's departure, Gogglebox star Andi Oliver has surfaced as the prime candidate to host MasterChef, reports the Mirror. According to Great British Menu star Andi is currently the favourite with odds of 5/2 (28.6%). Renowned for her vibrant energy and authority on GBM, Andi's culinary prowess has made her a popular choice among fans and bookies alike. She would also mark history as the first black woman to present the show. The betting markets have responded swiftly to John and Gregg's exit from MasterChef, with odds analyst, Dave James, disclosing that a well-known celebrity chef is also vying for the position. He remarked: "Andi Oliver remains the market leader, but Tom Kerridge is attracting a lot of support. His profile is huge, and he's one of the most trusted names in British food. This could come down to what direction the BBC wants – prestige, relatability, or a bit of both." Tom, who currently stands at odds of 3/1 (25%), runs several eateries, fronts numerous BBC programmes, and is known for marrying haute cuisine with broad appeal, not to mention being the creator of the £37 fish and chips at Harrod's. Poppy O'Toole, an emerging sensation on TikTok and within contemporary food media, is also a contender with odds of 4/1 (20%), followed by Angela Hartnett at 5/1 (16.7%), and Great British Bake Off favourite Nadiya Hussain at 6/1 (14.3%). Elsewhere less unlikely but not without a chance is James Martin and Grace Dent, who stepped in on Celebrity MasterChef alongside John when Gregg withdrew amid an inquiry into his conduct on the programme. Nigella Lawson, Marcus Wareing, and even John's spouse, Lisa Faulkner, also remain possible candidates as the future of MasterChef remains uncertain. Another prominent figure tipped to take over the iconic BBC series is Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt. It's rumoured that the experienced presenter has already secured the role for MasterChef: The Professionals. Matt played it cool regarding the prospect of presenting MasterChef after Gregg's departure earlier this year. Speaking to Muddy Stilettos about potentially co-hosting with John while he was still employed on the show, he remarked: "Well, there's always rumours, but it would be a great gig for sure!".

Author John Niven celebrates 20 years writing with comic Scots parenthood novel
Having already been a guitarist trying to reach the charts and then working for a major record label, John Niven has never been one to make a living from the everyday nine-to-five. Having already been a guitarist trying to reach the charts and then working for a major record label, John Niven has never been one to make a living from the everyday nine-to-five. And when it came to writing his first book, he found himself struggling to balance his fear of failure with his fear of not trying. Twenty years on from having that go and producing his debut, Music From Big Pink, John is one of the UK's best-loved novelists and a successful screenwriter. His 12 books include Kill Your Friends – his big breakthrough title which he also adapted into a hit film starring Nicholas Hoult – as well as Scots golf comedy The Amateurs and his universally acclaimed memoir O Brother. Now the Irvine-born writer and former Sunday Mail columnist is celebrating his 20 years between the pages with new release The Fathers, a darkly comic look at Scottish parenthood. But the 57-year-old admitted the milestone has kind of crept up on him. John explained: 'I'd always wanted to be a writer right through my 20s. but it just seemed like failure was guaranteed. 'Especially as I'd worked in the music industry and seen how many aspiring bands there are, and the odds are the same in writing, film and TV – there's a lot more applicants than there are jobs. 'It seemed to me to be doomed but in the end it was the not trying that was making me more unhappy than failing would ever have made me, so I just had to give it a go. 'Twenty years – it took me by surprise. 'I still kind of think of myself as a sort of fairly new or young enfant terrible novelist, but then you look at the numbers and you're like, 'God, I'm like an old man in the twilight of my career.' 'Twenty years years is the same distance from the mid-80s to when I started publishing novels, or from when I was born to the mid 80s. 'You look at the numbers back and it starts to shock you.' After leaving the music industry, John began writing scripts before turning to books with Music From Big Pink, a fictionalised story set around the legendary American rock group The Band. At the end of 2004, he finally got the email that he was to become a published author. John said: 'I was so broke after a couple of skint years when I got the news that it had been accepted. I was like a drowning man grabbing a life ring. I think that's why I ran quite hard for the first few years of my career, writing eight novels in the first 12 years. 'I felt like I'd kicked the door open and there was no way I was going to let anyone shut it on me.' He followed that well received debut with smash hit Kill Your Friends about murder in the record business. It's an acerbic satire of the world he knew well but the reaction from within the music world perhaps wasn't what he expected. He said: 'The music industry is so ego-driven that people were angry if they weren't mentioned in the book and people who were in it were really pleased. 'But that's kind of why the book worked – it took lot of real-life executives and bands, and sprinkled them through the fictional ones to create this sort of stew where nobody quite knew what was real and what wasn't. 'I never expected that to be a hit – I thought it was too dark, too savage. I doubt very much that it would get published today.' John's work has been consistently well received over the past 20 years but it reached a new level of response two years ago for his heartbreaking memoir O Brother, which included the tragic story of his brother Gary's suicide. He said: 'The release, the publication, the promotion of it was harder than actually writing the book. 'It was received very well, thankfully, and I think I felt relief more than anything else.' And he has stuck with the family theme for his latest title, The Fathers. It's about a successful television writer, Dan, and a lowlife criminal, Jada, who meet when their sons are born at around the same time and soon become increasingly connected. Although the book is fictional, it's still a very personal tale for the father-of-four – he is dad to Robin, 29, Lila, 17, Alexander, seven, and Morty, four. John said: 'I think the character of Jada was my brother blown up, and the character of Dan was me blown up in a hyper-real way. 'But, to be honest, from where I came from, given my time and place, my school, I could have gone either way. I could have been Jada easy enough myself. But one of the fun things to do in fiction is to play with these things.' John is delighted to get his new book out into the world this week, and the chance to share it with readers on a live tour across the UK, including two dates in Scotland. He said: 'I think Kingsley Amis said that if someone has written more than a dozen novels, you have a pretty good idea of who they were. 'As you get older and look at that stack of books – 11 novels and a memoir – and hopefully, touch wood, God willing, more to come, if you leave a shelf of books behind you, for better or worse, it's a fair testament to who you were.' He added: 'Somehow or another, I've got to my late 50s and I've never had a real job. It's been quite the ride.'
