Priti Patel, who has served as Home Secretary since 2019, is already facing backlash to her plan which involves shipping asylum seekers all the way to Rwanda after they have already arrived in the UK. Jeremy Clarkson has suggested that the “extremely pretty” African country is still a better alternative than “the damp basement of a Lancashire terraced house” in the UK. Jeremy, 62, had a rather unusual take on the plan proposed by the Home Secretary, 50, comparing it to a game of Snakes and Ladders. However, he also seemed to take the view that things could be worse for the asylum seekers fleeing from hardship in their own countries.  “It’s not the end of the world,” the Clarkson’s Farm presenter suggested.

CORONATION Street fans have been left stunned after discovering star Jude Riordan’s brother has a secret role on the soap. The actor - who plays Nick Tilsley’s son Sam Blakeman in the ITV soap - has become a fan favourite after joining the soap more than a year ago.

Ranvir Singh was quick to address her error as she made a bit of a slip up before interviewing Coronation Street star Kel Allen. The actress, who plays Laura Neelan in the ITV soap, was on the show to discuss her final scenes.

Fans were all left asking the same question as Fiz Stape left Coronation Street after almost 21 years. Fiz, played by Jennie McAlpine, has headed off to a new home with partner Phill Whittaker.

Actress Jennifer Wilson who appeared in Coronation Street, Casualty and Doctors has died aged 89. A family friend shared the sad news that she'd passed away at her home in France last week.

It would be hard to imagine Weatherfield without Fiz Stape - or Fiz Brown as she was when she arrived on the cobbles 21 years ago. She made her first appearance in the soap as a feisty teen fostered by Roy and Hayley Cropper after being neglected by her mother, Cilla Brown.

Gareth Pierce made a seamless return to screens in Coronation Street on Wednesday night as Todd Grimshaw reappeared in Weatherfield.

It was all smiles from Coronation Street star, Sam Aston, 28, and his pregnant wife Briony, 26, on Sunday, March 27, as they attended the Mum and Me event at Mere Golf Club in Cheshire. Sam’s childhood sweetheart Briony rocked a gorgeous pregnancy glow as she cradled her burgeoning baby bump whilst posing for cameras alongside Sam.

Coronation Street's legendary red-head Fiz Stape has been spotted proudly showing off her brand new pad following her departure from the iconic Weatherfield cobbles.Try not to worry too much though, Corrie fans, as Jennie McAlpine - who has played the second-hand furniture flogger since she first joined the soap in 2001 - is not yet leaving Weatherfield entirely. Fiz is set to pack her bags and leave her terraced house in the coming weeks in order to move into a luxury Victorian semi with new boyfriend Phill Whittaker (Jamie Kenna).
