EMMERDALE fans have been left scratching their heads after pointing out a glaring blunder with Robert Sugden.
The character, played by Ryan Hawley, made a surprise comeback to the ITV soap opera when he was briefly released from prison.

ITVHe had three visitors in the space of two days[/caption]
But instead of checking in for a probation hearing, he instead decided to storm his ex Aaron’s wedding to his brother John Sugden.
He begged Aaron to get back with him and the pair even shared a tender kiss before Aaron told him to back off and that his heart lied with John and went through with his wedding.
It later emerged that Aaron reported him as he confessed he could not trust himself knowing Robert was out there.
In the latest episode of the ITV soap opera, fans were left complaining however, as they called out a huge blunder with Robert’s prison stint.
They were left baffled to realise he had been able to see three visitors across two days – including two on the same day.
Having seen Victoria, the following day he was able to secure two last-minute visits.
One in the morning with his ex-husband Aaron and then another in the afternoon with John.
Picking up on this unrealistic occurrence, one fan wrote online: “How can Robert have 3 visitors in 2 days? Surely it doesn’t work like this #Emmerdale.”
Someone else penned: “Ffs how many visiting orders does Robert get.”
Another highlighted the truth of the real jail system as they wrote: “How are they getting to visit Robert every day , real life your lucky to get once a month and definitely not three separate people.”
The comments did not stop there as they soon continued to flood in with one penning: “How many visits is Robert allowed?
Before someone else quipped: “Victoria visiting the easiest prison in Britain to get a VO for.”

A MIGRANT who raped a 15-year-old girl after arriving in the UK on a small boat claimed he was not aware of the “cultural” differences.
Sadeq Nikzad, 29, pounced on the teen in the street after luring her to the back of a pub.
AlamyThe attack took place in Falkirk town centre[/caption]
She was found “dazed” by a passer-by following the horror in October 2023 – two years after Nikzad arrived in Britain as an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan.
His defence lawyer Janice Green claimed the fiend has not been educated about the significant cultural differences between the UK and his home country where child marriage is common.
She also tried to argue the language gap between him and the victim and the fact she did not say “no” meant it was “not a typical stranger rape”.
The lawyer said: “I’m not suggesting that means that he reasonably believed (the victim) was consenting, but that there’s a reason why he could have misunderstood.”
Nikzad kicked off in court and branded the judge a “liar” after he was jailed for 12 years.
He had to be handcuffed by security after he began screaming and gesticulating wildly in the dock.
Nikzad will serve nine years in prison followed by three years on licence where he will placed on the sex offenders register.
The predator will be deported at the end of his sentence, Livingston High Court heard.
Passing sentence, Judge Morris told Nikzad through an interpreter: “I appreciate that you don’t accept that you’ve done anything wrong, but the fact remains that you’ve been convicted of an extremely serious sexual offence against a child.
“I know your counsel has now explained to you that in those circumstances only a substantial custodial sentence is appropriate.”
The court was told Nikzad entered the UK illegally two years before the attack.
On October 16, 2023, the girl was walking through Falkirk town centre when she was approached by the fiend.
Nikzad repeatedly requested her telephone number, uttered sexual remarks then led her into a courtyard where he raped her.
The girl later said that she froze during the attack and was “quite shocked”.
A passer-by who found the teen said: “She looked stunned. I knew something had gone wrong.
“She came to me for comfort. She said she kept telling the guy she was only 15.”
Katrina Parkes, Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offences, said: “This was an appalling, opportunistic attack on a young girl who should have been safe going about her daily business.
“The victim should be commended for reporting Sadeq Nikzad to the police, ensuring that he has now been held accountable while also protecting others from harm.
“This type of offending will not be tolerated, and I hope this prosecution sends a clear message to men who commit serious acts of sexual violence against women and children.
“I would urge anyone who has experienced similar crime to report it. You will be listened to and supported as we use every tool available in seeking justice.”
Nikzad called the judge a ‘liar’ as he was sentenced
Terence, 40, and Lacey cuddled up close for plenty of photos and videos posted to their respective Instagram stories.
The pair appeared on the E4 reality relationship series one year apart, but seems they have become fast friends since moving on from their TV spouses.
They partied with Lacey’s twin sister Paige and Love Island’s Marcel Sommerville at celebrity hotspot, Sheesh, in Chigwell.
The pair even took a video of themselves doing shots on the night out.
Terrence also posted a video sitting next to Lacey and filmed her receiving her birthday cake as she cheered while everyone sang her Happy Birthday.
The social worker turned DJ and host found fame in the 2023 series of MAFS, while Lacey appeared on the E4 show a year later.
Terrence was paired with Porscha Pernnelle on MAFS UK, but their marriage did not last when he walked out of the show after hearing rumours she had kissed other grooms.
Since then, he has been spotted hanging out with another MAFS UK star, Tasha Joy, 27.
As for Lacey, she seemed to have a happier marriage on the series when she was put with Nathan Campbell, but they split after the show aired.
Their breakup turned sour when Nathan accused Lacey of wanting to fake their romance in order to get more publicity and media opportunities.
He made the revelations during February’s reunion episode.
Nathan told some of the other grooms: “She messaged me and said after a year you get magazine deals and things like that, showmance.”
He went on to say: “She sent me a text message saying the relationship she wanted would be a pretend one so she could get more opportunity from it and make more money but I didn’t want to do it.”
What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, which can cause uneven shoulders.
Treatment is not always necessary for the condition but some people who develop scoliosis can be required to wear a back brace to stop the curve worsening as they get older.
In cases where surgery is required, patients may undergo a spinal fusion operation; a procedure that can last for several hours.
Lacey’s family defended her on social media and she opened up about experiencing dark episodes since the breakup.
“We all have our battles, but overall, I am a positive girl. And I didn’t get out my pyjamas for four days. I was crying, and it was just me, my mum and my twin sister Paige in the house,” she told Bobby Norris on his Access All Areas podcast.
“And I was like, Mum, there’s no way out. And for me, I feel like Nathan should have put a statement out.”
She continued: “I suffer with depression. I’m pretty open about that, but I’ve never had dark thoughts like that where I’m drowning.
“I just want it to be all over. I just want to be asleep. And, it was a hard place. And there was no one to run to, and even if you put out a statement, people weren’t really reading it.”

THIS is the shocking moment a passenger screams and spits at a another traveller before being handcuffed and escorted off the plane.
Leanna Perry, 32, was charged with aggravated assault after throwing a fit and pulling a woman’s hair on a Southwest Airlines flight on Tuesday.

Footage from inside the plane at La Guardia airport shows the Brooklyn-based illustration artist launching her verbal assault at a fellow passenger.
Several passengers and airline staff are seen trying to calm the passenger down as she grabs another woman’s hair and calls her a “fat a** b****.”
She is then heard shouting: “Ugly a** bitch,” and “Your boyfriend’s d–k is like 2 inches big. It’s embarrassing. I’m so sorry about your boyfriend.”
The artist then cries out she “can’t breathe” whilst members of staff try and restrain her by zip-tying her hands behind her back.
She is then captured screaming “F**k you!”as one flyer pleads “Can anybody do something, please?”
The Brooklyn-based illustration artist was escorted off the plane in a gurney and taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated assault, the Port Authority Police Department said.
Leanna is an established creator in New York, having worked for brands such as Maybelline, MAC, and SHEIN, the Mail Online reports.
According to the paper, she is also well acquainted with the NYC fashion scene and has been spotted at several runway shows and events.
Hailing from the small midwest city of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Leanne also counts fashion designers Betsey Johnson and Nicole Miller in her client portfolio.
She also reportedly started a job at makeup giant Maybelline, New York.
Port Authority Police told the Post they “responded to a report of an intoxicated passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight at Terminal B of LaGuardia Airport.”
A Southwest Airlines spokesperson said: “The Customer involved in the incident was removed from the flight and denied boarding,
“We commend our Team for their professionalism during the incident.”
This isn’t the first time a passenger has been escorted off a flight for causing a nuissance.
The ordeal took place on an EVA Air flight from Taiwan to Austria – a gruelling 13-hour journey – and was recorded by another passenger.
In the video, the boozed up man is seen hunched over the seat in front of him.
Desperate flight attendants attempt to pull him out of his seat but the man does not move an inch.
A security guard in a high vis jackets is even seen next to the man before crew try to lift him up again.

CHARLES DARWIN (2.30) sets the standard for his rivals to aim at in the opening Norfolk Stakes.
The boffins at Timeform have given him a rating of 109p, a whopping 11lb CLEAR of nearest rival Afjan (98P).
Copyright 2024 Ian HeadingtonTrawlerman is a big contender for the Ascot Gold Cup[/caption]
No two-year-old had achieved a higher rating than Charles Darwin heading into Royal Ascot this season, while Tuesday’s impressive Coventry Stakes winner Gstaad (111p) is now rated only 2lb higher.
Sioux Nation, in 2017, was the last Norfolk hero who ran to a higher level than Charles Darwin’s rating.
The colt’s trainer Aidan O’Brien is also responsible for Gold Cup favourite Illinois, though the one to beat on form is last year’s runner-up Trawlerman.
TRAWLERMAN (4.20) has a Timeform rating of 124 based on the form he showed when chasing home staying star Kyprios, while he also ran to the same level when beating the same rival – who admittedly wasn’t at his best – in the 2023 Long Distance Cup.
Those pieces of form place Trawlerman 4lb clear of favourite Illinois and Sweet William on Timeform’s weight-adjusted ratings.
There are a host of progressive colts in the Britannia, including RAAFEDD (5.00) who showed much-improved form and a good turn of foot when getting off the mark at Newbury.
He won with much more in hand than the margin of two lengths would suggest, and he still has the Timeform ‘small p’ to show he’s likely to improve again this afternoon.
The second and third both won next time out and Raafedd looks fairly treated on his handicap debut, heading Timeform’s weight-adjusted rating by 2lb.

A MUM has left people in hysterics after revealing what she looked like before and after giving birth to twins.
Cheryl took to her TikTok page to share her hilarious transformation, as she said it was “too funny not to jump on this trend”.
A mum has left people in hysterics after sharing pictures of what she looked like both before and after giving birth to twinstiktok/@cheryl_welshThe before snaps showed her with a full face of make-up and perfectly curled hairtiktok/@cheryl_welshtiktok/@cheryl_welshWhile in the after she was make-up free with her hair everywhere[/caption]
The video showed Cheryl “before having twins”, as she was seen with a full face of make-up and gently curled hair.
She also looked to be wearing a cute floral puff sleeved dress.
It then showed another snap of Cheryl pre-twins, as she showed off her flawless skin and picture perfect hairdo as she posed in a white and black dress.
The video then changed to show Cheryl “after having twins” – with the difference in the two images bringing many people to tears.
In the after, she was seen with no make-up on, dark circles beneath her eyes and her hair unbrushed and wildly sticking out from every direction.
She also appeared to be wearing her pyjamas, and added in the video’s hashtags that the transformation both before and after her twins was definitely “humbling”.
The comments section was immediately filled with remarks from other mums saying they can completely relate to Cheryl’s video.
“The hair after – saaame it’s killing me! Someone give me a remedy for this please!” one wrote.
“This made me lol because it’s so true, I’m a wreck!” another added.
“I still look like your second pic,” a third commented.
“My twins were 33 in February.”
As someone else called having kids “the ultimate sacrifice”, another wrote: “The solidarity is real.
“My two are currently going through teething & sleep regression – love that for me!”
“Same! I had twins and then a single baby 2 years later!” someone else sighed.
“Seemed like fun at the time. I now hide all of my photos of those first few years!”
Even the men had something to say, with one joking: “Poor Dad! Hope he kept the receipt!”
What are the different types of twins?
TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy.
They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy.
Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins?
Monozygotic – identical twins (‘one cell’ twins)
Dizygotic – also known as ‘fraternal’, non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes
Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it’s estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours.
Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes.
The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide.
Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female).
What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins.
They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical.
There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor.
Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical.
While another hit back: “This is why we prefer our ladies without make-up.
“We fall in love with them when they think they’re not good enough but to us they’re a 10/10.”

A FORMER Wimbledon champion resurfaced in a viral ad alongside Rafael Nadal.
The Australian superstar was the No1 tennis player in the world and reigned at the All England Club in 2021.
Ash Barty features in the new Kia advertYouTube/Kia AustraliaRafael Nadal makes a brilliant cameo as a rooferYouTube/Kia AustraliaBarty achieved her career dream by winning Wimbledon in 2021Getty
Now, though, after three years out of the public spotlight, Barty made a shock comeback.
She stars in a hilarious 90-second commercial for car manufacturer Kia to promote their new pick-up truck, the Kia Tasman.
Barty plays the role of Tasman Town’s newest resident after buying a fixer-upper crumbling old house in the countryside.
She then calls in a load of ‘tradies’ to get the pad in shape – with Australian sporting heroes including Erin Phillips, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan, Jason Gillespie, Buddy Franklin, Alexander Volkanovski, Dylan Alcott and Pat Rafter all arriving on site in their Kia Tasmans.
Two-time Wimbledon finalist Rafter – naturally – is in charge of the turf with his company ‘Best On Grass’.

But when they spot the roof is in need of repairs, recently-retired Nadal is called in, having been sponsored by Kia for many years.
And the Spaniard – dubbed Rafa’s Roofs – hilariously picked up the video call on his phone and left Australians in stitches with his cameo and response.
Tennis stars’ new careers
PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring.
But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best…
I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun
I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B
I’m last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I’m singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts
I’m former world No1 but quit aged 29 – instead I went on to play professional poker and golf
I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist
He said: “I am flat out.”
Then leaning in towards the camera, he asked: “Is it a cashie?” – Aussie slang for an under-the-table cash-in-hand job.
Like Nadal, Barty won the French Open – albeit just the once in 2019.
That came just two years after she returned to tennis’ majors following a two-year absence from the biggest tournaments as she took a break from the sport – and even played semi-pro cricket.
Since hanging up her racquet for good, the Queensland queen has even played in pro golf tournaments as well as having her two children.
Barty was a pundit for the BBC at Wimbledon last year and proved a popular addition – but the timing of Jordan’s recent arrival may rule her out of 2025’s tournament.

LOGICALLY speaking, this racing game is a biological sport — it’s all down to breeding.
And CHARLES DARWIN (2.30) is bred to be one of the elite. He’s a son of brilliant sprinter No Nay Never and a brother to Blackbeard, who was fourth in the Coventry as a two-year-old and won the Group 1 Middle Park at three.
Shutterstock EditorialRyan Moore talks through his rides on day three at Ascot[/caption]
Charles Darwin has three runs under his belt, which is a big help coming to a stage like Royal Ascot. He won his last two starts pretty comfortably and sets the standard for this five-furlong dash.
I had the choice of SERIOUS CONTENDER (3.05), Propose and Light As Air in the King Charles Stakes. They are all nice sorts but I decided on Serious Contender who has been put away since winning at Leopardstown on his reappearance this season. He’s in good shape.
Light Of Air was probably unlucky not to beat Serious Contender the last time at Leopardstown and the step up in trip will suit him.
In the Ribblesdale, I’m on GARDEN OF EDEN (3.40) who won a Listed race at Naas and is a tough filly who will be suited by the step up in trip.
She found plenty for pressure and showed a good attitude, so I’m looking forward to getting back on her. Stablemate Ecstatic is a likeable filly too. She’s got lots of ability and we’re yet to see the best of her.
Hopefully, ILLINOIS (4.20) can prove to be a good replacement for Kyprios in the Gold Cup.
Illinois has never gone this far but I’ve won it on a couple of four-year-olds who came into the race with the same profile. He won the Queen’s Vase here last year, is a winner of the St Leger, won well at Longchamp on his final start last season and then made a winning return at Chester this year. He gives every impression he’ll stay and likes quick ground.
Candelaria is another four-year-old who is open to improvement, while Trawlerman has been here and got the T-shirt so is a solid challenger.
It’s not quite as hot as it can get in the SERENGETI (5.00) but he takes his chance in the Ascot Stakes. He made the running in the French Guineas but faded. This is a drop in class but it’s hard to know his level.
TRINITY COLLEGE (5.35) comes into this meeting off the back of a very good fourth in the French Derby and has every chance of winning this on all known form.
Detain finished just ahead of him in that, so is a worthy favourite. Reyenzi is an outsider to look out for.
I’m riding ROI DE FRANCE (6.10) for John Gosden in the last. He’s got to carry plenty of weight but has run well in some very hot handicaps. He is capable of making the frame.
