AN ALL Creatures Great and Small star has teased that a fan-favourite character’s life hangs in the balance in the Christmas Special.

The festive episode of the Channel 5 drama has quite an emotional storyline for Mrs Hall, which will majorly impact everyone in Skeldale.

Skeldale House is preparing for Christmas and Jimmy’s first birthday, and while times are hard, Mrs Hall has the perfect Christmas planned.

However, when a worrying news bulletin shatters her world, the Skeldale family rallies round.

Mrs Hall is played by Anna Madeley and speaking about her festive storyline, she said: “It’s a horrendous time for Mrs. Hall.

“It’s every mother’s worst nightmare. She receives the news that Edward’s ship has been struck, and this happens right before Christmas, when Jimmy’s birthday is also coming up – a time when you desperately want good news and for everyone to be together.

“I think Mrs. Hall copes by staying busy and focusing on what little she does know.

“Initially, she tells herself, “Let’s deal with the facts we have.” But as the story progresses, it becomes harder and harder to hold on to that strategy.

“She even seeks out information on her own, meeting a young lad named Paddy, who had been with Edward on the ship.

“It’s a difficult journey for her, and even though she tries to stay strong, that uncertainty starts to take its toll.”

Nicholas Ralf is James Herriot in the series, the newly qualified vet who secures a job under an eccentric vet called Sigfried Farnon.

He says about the upcoming episode: “Mrs. Hall is like the mother of this surrogate family. She’s the middle point, and we all revolve around her.

“She helps everyone, fixes people’s problems, and looks after everybody. So, when she’s going through something very painful and emotional, you can’t help but empathise and want to do anything you can to take away some of that pain or burden.

“Sometimes, though, that means doing nothing and just really listening to what the other person needs.

“The whole family is affected, and you just want everything to be alright for her.”

Samuel West, who plays Siegfried Farnon added: “It’s really hard to know what the best thing to do is… he’s dreadfully confused, because he cares deeply for her.

“He is the hand she needs to hold and Siegfried has to try and be a shoulder to cry on if it’s needed, and a hand to hold if one would help.

“Mrs Hall has her own ways of dealing with it, most of which don’t require another person, because she’s very strong that way – possibly to her detriment at times.”

All Creatures Great and Small Christmas Special airs on December 23 at 9pm on Channel 5.

A GIANT new adventure park fit with skating rinks and dodgems has opened just in time for Christmas.

The entertainment venue has everything from laser quest and trampolines to roller-skating rinks, slides and an inflatable area.

Children can enjoy the park on weekdays or weekends[/caption]

It’s based in the Atria Watford shopping centre, North London, and stretches across a 33,000 square foot basement – formerly a John Lewis store.

The play area opened its doors on Saturday 21 December, just a few days before Christmas.

Flip out, the company behind the adventure park, have even kitted it out with a ninja playground, PS5s and trikes.

For smaller children, there is also be a big soft play for them to play in.

A one hour slot on weekends costs £11.99 for adults and children – or £7.99 from 10am to 3pm on a weekday.

Children under six months old go free or it’s £3.99 for those aged between six and 12 months.

Richard Beese, co-founder of Flip Out, told Watford Observer the centre was aimed at parents “feeling the last-minute Christmas pressure”.

He added those taking children shopping can take some time out to head to Flip Out Watford to “discover a playground of fun.”

He added: “Atria Watford is the perfect location for Flip Out,

“With the shopping destination offering some of the best retail and leisure experiences in the country.

“We are so pleased to be part of this mix now.”

The shopping centre’s director Simon Plumb added: “We’re delighted that Flip Out will be opening in atria Watford.

“With everything from high-tech dodgems to trampolines for visitors to enjoy, we know the opening will be a huge hit with people from the local community and beyond.”

Flip Out have a whopping 30 parks across the UK, including one in Glasgow, Liverpool and Hounslow.

The company launched in Australia in 2012 after its founder wanted to create a play centre that both adults and children could enjoy.

Some 100 to 350 people attend each centre an hour, according the firm’s site.

This comes as a huge new theme park land in the UK has taken a step closer to opening.

Chessington World of Adventures has submitted its plans to the local council for its massive multi-million project.

First announced back in October, the new themed land will have a mix of rides and attractions.

The theme of the land is yet to be revealed, although there will be both indoor and outdoor rollercoasters.

The current Kobra ride will be one of them, although is being reimagined as part of the new land.

An immersive family ride as well as play areas and sensory zones will be your younger guests.

KROGER have been slammed after a customer bought a “poor quality” product and were forced to make last minute dinner arrangements.

The furious shopper took to social media site X on Tuesday to make the complaint, labelling the product as “ridiculous”.

The meat the customer had bought was predominantly gristle and fat[/caption]

A customer took a picture of the beef they had purchased before writing their post.

They said: “This is the second time in the last month.

“Another last minute dinner change of plans because of poor quality Kroger products.

“This is Kroger’s 80/20 3lb rolls of beef, ridiculous.

“Yes it’s like that all the way through.”

The image shows the beef to be made up predominantly of vile gristle and fat.

One commenter pointed out: “That doesn’t look like beef to me!!”

Kroger responded to the complaint, saying: “Hi, there! Thanks for reaching out.

“Please feel free to send us a private message so we can further assist you. Have a great day!”

It is not known if the shopper has had their complaint properly addressed by Kroger.

KROGER COMPLAINTS

This is not the only time recently in which Kroger has come under fire from its customers online.

A shopper has also taken to X to rant about a poor experience with the chain.

On 5 December X user John posted: “@kroger literally I ordered groceries last night, paid for them, had them delivered today, and before delivery the price went up?

“I got charged again today because the price went up before delivery happened?

“That’s called fraud. I agreed to pay the price on my receipt.”

Kroger responded: “Hello John. We’re sorry to know about this.

“This is not the experience we want for our customers.

“Kindly call us at 1-800-576-4377 or send us a DM with your shopper’s card number, name, and email address so we can make things right.

“Looking forward to hearing from you.”

On November 29, an angry shopper took to the social media p-platform X to complain about the supermarket always being out of the items they need.

This forces them to go to other places when they are in need of a few bits.

The post read: “Every single time I go there they are always out of something I need, so I end up driving 3x as far to Walmart.

“I just ran to Kroger for two items, and they are out of both. From now on I’m just going to Walmart.”

Kroger replied: “Hi! Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

“We Suggest you sending us private message to provide you with the best assistance, Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.”

The customer was quick to hit back at the response, saying that it was pointless, and not completely their fault.

He wrote: “Why bother? I have been assured the issues are on the distribution side. Stores order product that doesn’t show up.”

JUSTIN Baldoni has hit the headlines after being sued by his It Ends With Us co-star, Blake Lively.

The Gossip Girl alum has issued a lawsuit for sexual harassment, claiming Justin’s actions had caused “severe emotional distress.”

Yet off screen, is Justin married? And does he have kids?[/caption]

Conman actor Justin, 40, has been accused of showing Blake naked videos and images of other women as well as making references about his alleged previous porn addiction, according to documents seen by TMZ.

The Hollywood stars appeared in the adaptation of the best-selling Coleen Hoover novel of the same name in August, though the film’s release was marred by a string of alleged bust-ups on set.

In a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit, Blake, 37, has accused Justin of a smear campaign to ‘destroy’ her reputation – allegations which he has denied.

Yet while the furore plays out – Justin will no doubt be attempting to protect his family from the backlash. Yet who is his wife Emily? And do they have kids?

Who is Justin Baldoni’s wife Emily?

Emily Baldoni, 40, is a Swedish-born actress.

It has been reported the pair had their first date at Los Angeles’ Blu Jam Cafe back in 2011.

The Uppsala native married Justin in 2013 at a ceremony in California, and proudly states her marital status on her Instagram page.

Emily previously spoke out on their nuptials and told wedding website Style Me Pretty: “Our wedding day was on July 27, 2013, a beautiful summer’s day and evening at our dear friend’s stunning Corona, CA property.

“My mother-in-law, Sharon, did all the decorating and turned the place into a Midsummer Night’s Dream, exactly what I had hoped for.

“She put so much love in all the details, you could feel the magic of it all.”

What does Justin Baldoni’s wife Emily do?

Emily is an actress like Justin – and even starred in It Ends With Us[/caption]

Like Justin, she is a screen star, and has featured on US sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

She played a leading role in 2013 movie Coherence – during the year the pair wed – and has also starred in 2009 flick Ghosts.

Emily also collaborated with her spouse in Five Feet Apart, a 2019 drama where Justin acted as director.

And she also played Dr Julie in It Ends With Us – the movie on which Blake’s lawsuit is centred.

Prior to marrying Justin, Emily went under the name Emily Foxler, an adapted version of her birth name, Emily Malou.

Do Justin and Emily have any kids?

Justin – who has denied all claims made against him – shares two kids with Emily[/caption]

Yes, the pair share two kids – often documenting their family life on Instagram.

Emily gave birth to eldest daughter Maiya Grace in 2015, before welcoming son Maxwell Roland-Samuel two years later.

They announced both their pregnancies on YouTube.

Meanwhile, Emily has been frank in addressing motherhood on her Instagram page.

Alongside a snap showing Justin being piled on by their kids, she wrote: “There are days when this is the best,” before adding some were “really hard.”

Jane The Virgin star Justin recently told how their kids had made their acting debut in It Ends With Us.

He told E! News: “They’re in the final scene in the farmer’s market.

“There are two kids that are running into the farmer’s market and that was their kind of debut—I said, ‘Action,’ and then they ran off.”

CREEPY spyware disguised as a health app has been discovered on the Amazon Appstore.

Amazon Fire users have been warned not to download an application called ‘BMI Calculation Vsn’ as it is programmed to steal data.

A fake app was able to read passwords and messages on users’ devices[/caption]

The dodgy app was discovered by McAfee Labs researchers who raised the alarm to Amazon.

The spyware was removed from the store, but those who installed the app will need to manually remove it and perform a full scan to ensure it’s all clear.

The app then asks users for permission to “start recording or casting”, giving the options of “cancel or start now”.

It also provides a chunk of text which reads: “BMI Calculation will have access to all of the information that is visible on your screen or played from your device while recording or casting.

“This includes information such as passwords, payment details, photos, messages and audio that you play.”

The app was first released on October 8, but by the end of the month it had changed its icon, certificate information and added more functions.

The spyware also has access to SMS messages sent and stored on the device – including one-time passwords.

The Amazon Appstore is a third-party shop for Android devices that comes pre-loaded on Amazon Fire tablets and Fire TV.

It also offers Amazon Prime games and content and acts as an alternative to Google Play.

The BMI Calculatoin Vsn app, which was published by ‘PT Visionet Data Internasional’ was sold as a tool for users to work out their body mass index (BMI).

This comes after users of illegally modified Fire Sticks used to stream premium TV have been warned they could be hacked by spies.

Police have undertaken a huge crackdown on illegal streaming of Sky channels and Premier League games this past year.

Last month, a huge operation spanning multiple European countries saw the closure of a network used by 22million people.

Five addresses in the UK were raided as part of the effort against piracy.

One hundred domains have been taken offline as a result.

Illegal streaming platforms often have ties to organised crime.

While much of the police action has targeted distributors, experts have repeatedly warned that users risk being hit by devastating consequences.

Illegal streaming networks can be a hive of malware that could allow cyber criminals to raid your accounts.

FOUR people have died in a horror helicopter crash after an air ambulance collided with a hospital.

The pilot took off in heavy fog in southwest Turkey as moments after the emergency chopper plunged down the side of the building in the deadly smash.

The helicopter was taking off from the Mugla Training and Research Hospital, the health ministry said in a statement.

Terrifying footage shows the helicopter taking flight in very low visibility.

The doomed journey begins slowly as it climbs through the air before vanishing into the fog.

Moments later it crashed into the side of the fourth floor of the hospital building.

Harrowing pictures of the Turkish emergency facility show several of the panels ripped from the building.

The helicopter is said to have rapidly fell to the ground and smashed into several pieces on impact.

Images show the wreckage surrounded by debris from the smashed up hospital wall.

All four crew members on board – made up of two pilots, a doctor and another medical worker – died in the crash.

Mugla’s regional governor, Idris Akbiyik, confirmed no one else was injured inside the hospital or on the ground.

The aircraft was reportedly heading to Antalya.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was left devastated over the fatal collsion.

He said on social media: “The news that four of our brothers lost their lives as a result of the crash of an ambulance helicopter affiliated with our Ministry of Health in Muğla broke our hearts.

“I pray to God to have mercy on our deceased personnel and offer my condolences to their families, colleagues and our entire healthcare community.”

Investigations into the exact cause of the accident are ongoing.

This crash comes less than two weeks after another tragic collision between two helicopters during a military training exercise in Isparta.

Six soldiers are said to have died in the incident.

THE man who believes he may be the son of Jay-Z – allegedly conceived when his mom was just 16 – has offered his support to the rap mogul’s rape accuser.

And he has warned the unidentified female – who accused Jay Z and Diddy in a lawsuit of taking it in turns to rape her when she was just 13 – about the “bullying” tactics his family has faced in their legal battle with the rap mogul – real name Shawn Carter.

Rymir Satterthwaite, his now deceased mom, Wanda, and his godmother, Dr. Lillie Coley, have been embroiled in a legal battle with Jay Z since 2010 when they first went to court to request a paternity test.

Wanda claimed before her death that she had unprotected sex with Jay-Z – then known as “Rock” – when she was age 16 in New York at a party in 1992.

Rymir and Lillie filed a lawsuit last month against the judges and court system who have dealt with their request over 14 years – alleging they “conspired” with Jay Z to have their cases wrongly dismissed.

They also claim in the suit that they have been followed, had their car shot at, and had “illegal liens” put on their home since they started the case – and the whole saga has cost them a total of $100,000.

UNDERAGE CLAIMS

The pair believe Jay-Z has always been reluctant to take a DNA test – because Rymir’s mother was underage at the time they allegedly had sex.

Rymir told The U.S. Sun he was shocked when he read the new rape allegations against Jay-Z – which the star has vehemently denied – but if they turn out to be true, “he will get what he deserves.”

He told how he had been on the receiving end of “bullying” tactics from Jay-Z and his team during his legal battle with him – and he offered the following advice to the female accuser.

“You know, we’re standing behind anybody that’s getting bullied,” Rymir said.

“You know, we’re a helping hand, always, we’ll help anything she needs from our side, or our team, we’re there for her.

‘DON’T GIVE UP’

“We’ve been going through a fight with lawyers and these judges and high celebrity cases and stuff for years, so I can tell you it’s been a fight, but don’t give up,” Rymir added.

“You know, a fight is always going to be a fight.

“You don’t always win a fight, but you always get up and try again, and you know it’s not the end of the world.”

Rymir says he and his family have been placed under years of bullying and stress due to the legal case against Jay-Z.

He says that he had his car shot at in 2017, shortly after he filed a complaint with authorities that Jay Z’s legal team had allegedly lied in court.

“You don’t always win a fight, but you always get up and try again

Rymir Satterthwaite

Rymir and Lillie also allege they have been followed around their neighborhood and had people drive on their lawn at 4am in the morning.

In the lawsuit, he and Lillie speculate that Jay Z and his legal team may be to blame for the acts – although nothing has been proven.

“You know, I wouldn’t know [if Jay-Z’s team were to blame], honestly, but I would say that never happened to me before,” Rymir said.

“And if this is all random since we’ve been in this case, there’s been a lot happening…

“I don’t know who did the shooting or who it was. It was a random car, so for me to sit there and try to create something and just say it was that person, I couldn’t.

“But, for sure, I can say it never happened to me before – these pop-ups at my houses and these random shootings, and all that, until
we’ve been going through this.”

‘PUSHED OUT AND SILENCED’

They both hit out at the courts and Jay-Z – alleging in the court filing that six separate judges “conspired with party Carter who continued to misrepresent … that he did not have property in New Jersey” and, therefore, the court had no jurisdiction over him.

Lillie and Rymir believe they have been denied their “constitutional rights” and prevented from arguing their case in court.

“For me, it’s egregious, because the fact that we have to even do this to get fair due process to get in the court,” Lillie said.

“[We] never had a trial, never had a hearing, never had a day in court.
Everything was bumped out and pushed out and silenced.

“And this is why we’re fighting because it’s more about constitutional rights.

“But at the end of the day, they fought this case illegally and dirty. Mr. Carter misrepresented his property holdings in the State of New Jersey which got us here.”

‘ILLEGAL LIENS’

Rymir and Lillie were ordered to pay almost $15,000 in legal fees to Jay-Z in 2022 – which caused what they describe in the latest court filing as “illegal liens” to be placed on their New Jersey home.

They say they were unaware of the liens on the property until Lillie tried to sell her home in December 2023 – and are still having money taken from them by Carter.

“The liens represented something,” Lillie said.

“They were trying to change the narrative and also to bully me into dropping the case.”

Rymir says he is angry about what he and his family have been put through at the hands of the courts and Jay Z’s legal team.

“They do what they want and yeah, we’re all angry, everyone that been supporting me [is],” he said.

“We honestly all angry because.. the rich get to do what they want.

“But we really need to change. And that’s why I’m asking everybody. We just need to all fight for what is right.”

Rymir says the case has now gone “way beyond” a paternity claim, although he would still like to find out who his father is.

“Right now, I feel like I got a bigger fight,” he said.

“You know, this is part of my life, so I won’t stop fighting for the paternity or anything else, you know, whatever I put my mind to, I fully go and I chase.

“So I can go in the courtroom and get the fair due process to get the truth. And get treated like everyone else … I’m not asking for much …. I’m just asking them guys to do their job. And what’s so hard about that?

“It’s been a lot going on… I don’t really try to look at none of the negative.

“I can’t be scared of anything or afraid of anything, I got a family to take care of, and I got a lot of people that’s looking up to me.

“So you know, I just think about my mom a lot, so she’d be with me a lot.

“So that’s my angel right there. So I move through the day with a lot of love, and even with the negative that’s going on, I tend to block it out.”

Rymir and Lillie hope they will win the case and help make sure those who come after them will receive fair treatment in court – no matter how rich or powerful their opponents are.

“We just want the truth,” he said. “You guys have gone and dragged this out for years and years; you haven’t been giving us fair due process.

“What was the reason? Can you guys explain? You guys caused us harm; you caused this stress.

“We never been trying to hurt anyone…we only came in here to find out the truth.”

The Sun has reached out to representatives for Jay-Z for comment.

The New Jersey Judiciary Office said they do not comment on “pending litigation.”
