Viewers of the beloved BBC series EastEnders are convinced that Stella might be enduring abuse from her husband, Pastor Clayton, after a recent tense face-off with Yolande Trueman on the show. The drama soared to new heights during the episode as Yolande attempted to maintain normalcy despite distressing experiences caused by Pastor Clayton. Stella, seemingly fraught with anger, confronted her at the community centre. Stella demanded that Yolande withdraw her statement to the police and seemed certain other accusers would do the same. However, Yolande starkly refused, asserting: "They're doing it because now it's their chance." As Yolande divulged more about the horrific abuse, Stella appeared visibly shaken. Nevertheless, she continued to stand up for her husband's monstrous acts. Tensions were running high on the BBC programme (Image: BBC) Yolande exclaimed: "He violated me. Do you know how that made me feel? It made me hate myself!...

Restaurants, along with taxi firms, hairdressers, hotels, pubs and cafes, may have to increase their prices to cope with a new tip-sharing law that comes into effect this Tuesday (October 1). The new rules will ban these businesses from withholding tips or service charge payments given by customers, whether in cash or card. Kate Nicholls, the CEO of UK Hospitality, has said that businesses have "been gradually getting ready for this" and are moving towards adopting a code of best practice endorsed by unions. Saxon Moseley, head of leisure and hospitality at consultancy RSM, warned that businesses who have been using the service charge to pay staff or offset their wage bill will still need to pay their staff, but won't be able to use this cash fund. He says: "And in that scenario, margins will be hit, in some cases fairly drastically."

EastEnders dropped a bombshell for the Panesar family on Wednesday (September 25) as Nish was rescued from the brink of death, only to alter his will from his hospital bed, dealing a massive blow to his ex-wife. Nish (Navin Chowdhry) found himself gasping for air after collapsing in agony due to his heart condition.

Outer London is set to be drenched with more floods, according to the Environment Agency as reported by the Evening Standard. Recent floods left parts of the capital submerged, with sinkholes and chaos on the transport system.
