Hollyoaks scandal as Jez and Liberty's affair is exposed - in an unexpected way
This is the moment that Jez Blake's (Jeremy Sheffield) scandalous affair with Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) is exposed in upcoming Hollyoaks scenes. The controversial relationship, which kicked off earlier this year, has received quite a reaction from fans, with Liberty dressing up as her dead mum – Jez's ex! – in a bid to make him fall for her. Unable to resist, Jez started to see Liberty in secret, all the while he carried on planning his wedding to John Paul McQueen (James Sutton). John Paul, however, called off the wedding earlier this week, coming to believe that his fiancé was keeping one too many secrets from him. He's not wrong, with the gardener being a cold-blood serial killer, who claimed another victim in Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) during the latest episode! With Jez and JP's nuptials having been halted, Liberty called by the allotment to check in on Jez – who is none other than her beloved sister Sienna Blake's (Anna Passey) father. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video And it doesn't stop there as upcoming scenes will see Lib check in on Jez once more. Jez responds by leaning in for a kiss but Liberty pulls away, telling him that he needs to prove he's serious about them having a future together. Left with food for thought, Jez decides to show his commitment later that day when he, Sienna, Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) and Lib head to The Dog, which is re-opening its doors after months. John Paul, meanwhile, shows up at the event too and he approaches Jez, who remains cold towards him. Seizing an opportunity to cause a stir, the sick serial killer publicly kisses Liberty! The moment of passion leaves not only John Paul in shock but also Sienna, who is left reeling to witness her beloved sister kissing her dad. More Trending Awkward! Sienna, in fact, rejects the relationship entirely, truly horrified by it all – as does Dodger. The question is: can they talk sense into Liberty? Or will Liberty perhaps find herself in danger from Jez? Or will it be Sienna and Dodger that face his wrath?

First MAFS UK 2025 star revealed as dental practice manager dubbed 'one of the most stunning in show's history' months before new series returns
The first Married At First Sight UK star for the upcoming 2025 series of the E4 show has been revealed as a dental practice manager. Leisha Lightbody, who has been dubbed 'one of the most stunning in the show's history,' is reportedly due to take part in the social experiment later this year. The popular programme sees a selection of single people tie the knot with someone just moments after meeting down the aisle. And the couples are put together by relationship experts Mel Schilling, 53, Paul C Brunson, 46, and Charlene Douglas, 43. Each week they are helped by the trio to see if they are meant to be together, and have the option to leave the experiment if it is not going well. Hopefully Leisha finds someone that she is looking for during the tenth series of the programme. A source told The Sun: 'Leisha is one of the most stunning brides MAFS UK has ever had, and she's sure to catch the eye of all the grooms on the new series - not just her own. 'Leisha is obviously sworn to secrecy about being on the show, which filmed earlier this year, so there are no signs of it on her social media yet. 'The cast are set to be announced next month, with the show airing later in the autumn.' When the publication contacted C4 for comment, a spokesperson told them: 'We do not comment on speculation. The MAFS UK cast will be announced in the coming weeks.' MailOnline has also contacted C4 for comment. Applications for the upcoming series of the show closed back in February. Although nothing has been confirmed, the programme usually airs in September each year and wraps up in the middle of November. Viewers also usually enjoy the instalments from Monday to Thursday on E4. Married At First Sight originally hit our screens in the UK in 2015. There has been nine successful series so far since then and fans will be treated to another one very soon. One of the experts Mel has teased what viewers can expect in the coming months. The Aussie TV star dubbed the cast as 'authentic, relatable and surprising'. She added: 'I have several favourites, I do. It's like choosing a favourite child but I do. 'I do have quite a few favourites this year.' And back in February she shared a stunning snap from the set in a light pink suit. 'Let's go! MAFS UK 2025,' she captioned the post. Last year's season of the UK version of MAFS was a huge hit, with the likes of Luke and Amy, Adam and Polly, Nathan and Lacey, and Ross and Sacha making it to the final vows. Despite some of the relationships looking promising, none of them are together anymore.

MAFS UK star welcomes her first child with her fiancé via IVF after three miscarriages and failed adoption bid - as she reveals baby girl's sweet name
Married At First Sight UK star Jess O'Connor, known as Jess Potter, has welcomed her first child with her fiancé TJ O'Reilly. The dental hygienist, who shot to fame on the E4 show in 2022, underwent four gruelling rounds of IVF before revealing earlier this year that she was expecting a baby. Jess had previously suffered three miscarriages and a failed adoption and has been open about her battle with infertility. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Jess shared the happy news that she and TJ has welcomed a baby girl called Mia Jane O'Reilly after 12 hours of labour and five days in hospital. She shared an adorable picture of baby Mia along with snaps from her hospital bed after giving birth. 'After 5 days at hospital, 4 days in early Labour, 12 hours of active labour... a lot of screaming. I had the birth I've always wanted...,' she wrote. 'Mia Jane OReilly 6lbs 6oz born 4:51am 23rd July. You're perfect in every kind of way.' Almost 24 hours before, Jess had shared a picture of herself in her hospital gown before going into active labour. She captioned it: 'Waters went 8am, on hormone drip, had epidural, only progressed 2cm in 12 hours, waiting for the doctor.' Announcing her pregnancy in January, Jess shared a sweet video and wrote: 'After almost 3 years, 3 failed IVF cycles, 4 losses, and hundreds of injections… Our journey has been filled with heartache, hope, and resilience. But today, we're overwhelmed with gratitude to share with you: 'Our miracle baby O'Reilly arriving July 2025! This little heartbeat is proof that dreams do come true, no matter how long the road may be. 'Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. For anyone still waiting, we see you, and we're holding space for your story. With love, Jess & Tom ❤️.' Jess set up a GoFundMe page to raise £10k for the successful IVF round in February of last year. She took to social media at the time to reveal she was planning to ask members of the public for help in funding her treatment after three failed rounds of IVF. Days after revealing her attempt at adopting with her fiancé TJ O'Reilly had been rejected, she took to Instagram and TikTok to confirm they were seeking public funding after spending £15k on three rounds and losing three babies. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Jess revealed she was receiving abuse from followers in the wake of her announcement, with some cruel critics branding her 'a scrounger' and claiming she should 'save her own money'. Despite criticism, she did however garner a whopping £1,825 of her £10k goal from 164 patrons, within 17 hours of going live, and continues to ask for cash from fans. Jess, who became engaged to TJ in October, has been candid about her fertility journey, with her social media documenting her failed IVF bids. Earlier this week, she revealed their attempts at adoption had failed as they have not been a couple long enough - leading to her GoFundMe attempt. Taking to Instagram, she shared a selfie with her boyfriend and added a caption reading: 'Right…we're doing it!! GO FUND ME!! I know it's A LOT to ask and of course we're not expecting anything but we really do want one more shot at IVF... 'We need further tests which (one test alone) costs £2000. Our embryos would need to be moved to another clinic which again is very costly. Then a new IVF protocol and hopefully [fingers crossed] a 4th (and final) transfer… 'Praying that we get our happy ever after. All I've ever wanted is to be a mum and I just really want another shot at this!... 'So if anyone can help in anyway I will be SO grateful!!!! - will keep everyone updated with everything as we go along of course ! Link is in bio if u are able to donate at all'. On the GoFundMe page, Jess penned: 'Hi, my names Jess and for the past 2 years me and my partner Tom have been trying for a baby. We have been unsuccessful... 'We have had IVF three times resulting in 3 pregnancy losses. We would love to have another go at having a family, as being parents is all we have ever wanted but, we have spent over £15K and have no more savings... 'IVF costs a ridiculous amount and after 3 losses we would have to do further investigations to try and find out why we cannot have a successful pregnancy which cost thousands alone... 'Once we have discovered what could be causing all this heartache we would love to have another round of IVF... 'We would need to move our embryos to another clinic that specialises in reoccurring pregnancy loss which again is very costly... 'If anyone can help us in anyway to get near our goal of possibly having a child to love and complete us then we would be eternally grateful. x... 'All i've ever wanted is to be a mum and this has been the hardest 2 years of my life. It's drained the life out of me and the fact the money is causing another strain is heartbreaking. If anyone could help we would really appreciate it #IVFWARRIOR...
