The character was first introduced to Emmerdale viewers earlier this year when he befriended April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), during her stint being unhoused and living on the streets.
Despite caring for April and becoming good friends, her dad Marlon Dingle, was not a fan on Dylan and resorted to planting drugs on Dylan in a desperate bid to force him out of April’s life.
But his plan backfired dramatically when Dylan ended up overdosing and left to attend rehab.
Emmerdale producers revealed earlier this month that Dylan would be returning to the village, but Amelia, who plays April on the soap gave a hint when exactly fans can expect to see him again.
“April has had an incredibly tough year with what she has been through, with the pregnancy and the homelessness storyline,” she told Mirror Online.
“April and Dylan didn’t leave things on the best terms, but I think what is important now is that he’s back.”
Amelia added: “Who knows what will happen. It will be great to explore that relationship further, I think fans want to see that which is great.”
It’s been a big week for Amelia who took out the gong for Best Young Performer at Thursday’s British Soap Awards.
She managed to win the prize ahead of her brother William Flanagan, who was nominated for playing Joseph Brown on Coronation Street.
Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed Dylan’s return earlier this month.
“Lovely Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, is coming back to the show,” she told media.
“He’s going to be bringing his past back to the village with him. And that’s going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there.”
Laura added: “We’ve got a couple of exciting new castings that are joining us for that story, but I’m not allowed to tell you who they are. Watch this space, because it’s very exciting.”

It means most people will still have to pay for it privately – which can cost hundreds of pounds a month.
“The drugs are expensive but weight loss is strongly desired, so as a commodity, these drugs are hotly sought-after,” said Professor Naveed Sattar, a cardiologist and obesity expert at the University of Glasgow, said.
“It’s no surprise people are going to such extraordinary lengths,” she told the inews.
Medics say the DIY hack is dangerous and could lead to infection, overdose or death.
“People are reading these tips on online forums and being tempted to use them to save money,” said Professor Penny Ward, a pharmaceutical expert at King’s College London.
“But they’re risking serious side effects from overdosing by doing this – as well as the potential to develop a life-threatening infection.
“The potential to develop a life-threatening infection. It’s not a good idea at all,” she told MailOnline.
Talk of the so-called ‘golden dose’ is also spreading on Reddit weight-loss forums.
In one thread with more than 50 comments, a user wrote: “After four pumps of your uk injection pen they tell you to throw it away.
“But there is an extra dose or thereabouts in the pen you can self inject with an insulin needle.”
Another replied saying: “Known much more on here as the fifth dose.”

Slimmers have also taken to TikTok to rave about the ‘discovery’.
In one video, a nurse demonstrates how to use a needle to extract leftover medicine from the pen.
She wrote: “I do not condone or encourage anybody to take their golden dose this is just what I am doing.”
Huge risks
Professor Penny warned that this practice can be dangerous for “several” reasons.
“These injections contain a slight overfill to ensure the full recommended dose is delivered each time,” she said.
“But by drawing this out with a separate syringe and using it as a so-called fifth dose, you’re exposing yourself to serious risk of infection.”
Once the pen has been used, it’s no longer sterile, meaning any leftover liquid could be contaminated with harmful bacteria.
Injecting it could lead to abscesses or, in extreme cases, life-threatening sepsis.
The bigger the dose, the bigger the risk of pancreatitis
Professor Penny WardKing's College London
There’s also the danger of taking too much.
“If you’re using your own syringe, it’s difficult to measure the correct amount – you may end up taking more than intended,” she warned.
Overdosing on the jab can trigger nasty side effects like vomiting and diarrhoea, or in rare cases, pancreatitis – a serious and painful condition that may need hospital treatment.
Around one in five cases result in serious complications, with up to 30 per cent proving fatal.
The risk rises sharply with higher doses, as the drug can trigger digestive enzymes that begin attacking the pancreas itself.
Symptoms include sudden, severe tummy pain, often spreading to the back, along with fever, nausea and a racing heartbeat.
“The bigger the dose, the bigger the risk of pancreatitis,” Professor Ward warned.
Everything you need to know about fat jabs
Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases.
Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK.
Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market.
Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year.
How do they work?
The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight.
They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients’ sugar levels are too high.
Can I get them?
NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics.
Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure.
GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss.
Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk.
Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health.
Are there any risks?
Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild.
Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea.
Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: “One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.”
Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia.
Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients’ mental health.
Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines.
This makes people feel fuller for longer and therefore less hungry.
It appears to be to be more potent than Wegovy – another popular weight loss jab – causing about 20 per cent weight loss after a year’s use, compared with Wegovy’s 15 per cent.
Mounjaro‘s active ingredient is tirzepatide, a lab-made compound that mimics two gut hormones – GLP-1 and GIP – which help control blood sugar and appetite.
This is why it was initially approved to treat diabetes type 2, which happens when people can’t control their blood sugar.
But in December 2024, it was also cleared for use on the NHS for weight loss in people with a BMI of over 30, or over 27 plus one weight-related condition.
‘Excess solution’ should be ‘discarded’
If you notice there is a considerable amount of medication left in your pen after the last dose, Professor Penny added, it may mean that you’re not using the injection properly.
“Speak to your pharmacist about your technique, or check that you definitely have the right size syringe, as this can impact the amount of medication left over,” she said.
A spokesperson for Lilly – the drug’s manufacturer – said users should not do this, as the remaining liquid may not be a full dose.
“It is important to note that there will be a residual amount of medicine left after the fourth dose,” they said.
“This does not correspond to a full dose.”
“Any excess solution in the pen after use should be discarded.”
Dr Alison Cave, chief safety officer of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, added: “Medicines are approved according to strict dosage guidelines.
“Failure to adhere with these guidelines, such as tampering with pre-dosed injection pens, could harm your health or cause personal injury.
“People should follow the dosing directions provided by their healthcare provider when prescribed weight-loss medicines and use as directed in the patient information leaflet.”
What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs?
Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects.
Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include:
Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts.
Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea.
Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset.
Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation.
Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort.
Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss.
Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating.
Serious side effects can also include:
Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon.
Thyroid tumors: There’s a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic.
Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin.

Loungers opened their first store in 2002 in Bristol and have since expanded across the country.
They are known for their wide range of food, cocktails and coffees, as well as each lounge having its own unique decor – with some customers not realising it’s even a chain.
The closure is so that it’s staff can enjoy a grand celebration, which they call LoungeFest.
Beginning in 2013, the event celebrates the company’s 9,000 staff.
“All of our Lounges will be closed on Monday, 9th June, as we will be heading to our annual staff party – Loungefest!
“We do this every year to celebrate everybody’s hard work.
“Regular Lounging will resume on Tuesday, 10th June.”
Photos of the event show an exciting mix of music, fairground rides, and a healthy dose of partying.
Guy Youll, Loungers’ Chief People Officer told Wales Online: “Back in 2013, Loungers was one of the first in the hospitality industry to host a party like this and I’m delighted we’ve kept close to our roots by continuing every year getting bigger and better.
“Our teams work incredibly hard all year round so LoungeFest is our way of celebrating them and showing how much we appreciate the dedication and care they put in every day at all our sites to deliver great hospitality. It’s going to be quite a party!”
Facebook commenters were pleased to see the company showing appreciation for their staff.
One wrote: “Well done for treating your staff I hope the staff and you have a brilliant time.”
While another commented: “Oh that’s a lovely thing to do for all the hard working staff.”
This year’s LoungeFest will take place at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
Its theme is ‘at the movies’ as the event will be equipped with funfair attractions, DJ sessions, music stages featuring live bands and performances by Loungers’ employees – as well as games, activities and complimentary food and drink.

Loungers was founded in 2002 by a group of three friends on North Street in Bristol.
They also run the popular Cosy Club chain of restaurants, as well as the roadside eatery Brightside.
As of March 2025, the company operates 291 sites in England and Wales across the three brands.
Its 250th Lounge – Pionero Lounge – opened in Rochdale in January 2024.
With plans to expand with 10 more restaurants, loyal customers have been begging the company to come to their town.
The company won the employer of the year award at the Casual Dining Awards 2025.
2 days agoNews PlusComments Off on BBC presenter and GAA star share heartbreak of miscarriages and failed IVF in powerful podcast discussion
BBC sports presenter Thomas Niblock has opened up about the heartbreak he and his wife Kirstie have experienced through multiple pregnancy losses.
The popular broadcaster revealed the couple have suffered three miscarriages.
Johnny Glynn of New York revealed his personal heartache in a recent discusiionx - @thomasniblockOisin McConville, Johnny Glynn and Thomas Niblock opened up on the GAA social podcast[/caption]
He shared their emotional journey during an episode of the GAA Social Podcast alongside co-host Oisin McConville and guest Johnny Glynn.
The conversation spurred former Galway hurling star Glynn to reveal that he also shared his own fertility struggles.
Gynn, who is based in New York, revealed that his wife Serena has endured failed IVF rounds and miscarriage heartbreak of their own.
Glynn initially retired from inter-county hurling in 2020 after he had had enough of commuting from New York to play for the Galway senior hurlers.
He briefly returned for Galway 2024 under Henry Shefflin, before returning to represent New York.
The player also represented New York in the Connacht football championship in their first-ever championship win against Leitrim in 2023.
The 31-year-old captained New York to Lory Meagher Cup success at Croke Park, but just days earlier the couple had received devastating news that their latest IVF attempt had not worked.
Former Armagh star Oisin McConville described the episode as a privilege to be part of as both men spoke candidly about loss and grief.
Before Glynn shared his experiences, Niblock opened up about nearly losing his wife during a pregnancy complication.
He stated: “It is not an exaggeration – my family and friends would know this – we were very close to losing Kirstie.
“That shapes you. When you go through something like that, your priorities change. You still want to have children, of course, but when you come that close to losing the person you love, that becomes everything.”
He explained that while IVF might be a future option for them, they’re still on the path of trying to figure things out with wife Kristie.
He revealed: “She’s a strong person with a good head on her shoulders,” Niblock said. “But it’s still heavy. I’d feel like a hypocrite not putting myself out there, even if it’s a bit weird to talk about.”
Glynn’s experience echoed those sentiments.
“We’ve had miscarriages. We’ve had an ectopic pregnancy. We’ve done multiple rounds of IVF.
“We’ve just finished our fifth round of IVF transfers and they’ve all failed so far. Honestly, I don’t know how we’ll get there – but I know we will.
“If one day we have healthy kids, I’ll take all these tough years. We’ll be fine because we’ve got each other.”
He added that further heartbreak was watching his wife in pain.
Glynn adeed: “It’s the one thing I can’t fix. And that’s a f*****g killer.”
The pair also reflected on moments where people casually asked them when they were having children.
Niblock recalled that he fronts up about the past heartbreaks.
He added: “To be honest, we’ve had three miscarriages.”
“Their face just drops. But I think that’s important.”
“When you’re in the middle of it, and you don’t have kids – you’re in a very different place. And the truth is, we don’t talk about this enough. It’s not normalised. And I include myself in that.”
He ended with an emotional message as he revealed some different paths that he and his wife may take.
“We’re still clinging on to hope – and hope is a powerful thing. If that was gone, we’d start looking at other paths, maybe adoption or fostering, or accepting life without children.
“But whatever happens, me and Kirstie will have a brilliant life. As long as she’s there – that’s what matters.”

A MUM died trapped head-first between rocks as the tide rose after a possible delay in sending firefighters, an inquest heard.
Saffron Cole-Nottage was walking with her dog and daughter on a path at the base of the sea wall in Lowestoft, Suffolk, when the horror unfolded.
FacebookSaffron Cole-Nottage died after getting trapped between sea rocks[/caption]
East Anglia News ServiceHer daughter tried desperately to free her mum from the rocks[/caption]
Saffron screamed for help as her daughter and passers-by frantically attempted to free the mum-of-three.
A pre-inquest review heard Saffron was discovered at 7.45pm and a 999 call was made to the East of England Ambulance Service at 7.52pm.
Suffolk Area Coroner Darren Stewart OBE said there appeared to have been contact between the ambulance service and Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service at 8.04pm or 8.05pm.
A “subsequent call” from the Coastguard to the fire service but firefighters were not dispatched until five minutes later, the court was told.
Mr Stewart said he wanted to examine a possible “inconsistency” in communications between emergency services.
He added: “In essence I want to understand in terms of the chronology whether there has been correct application of the co-ordination arrangements in respect of the best or most appropriate emergency services response.
“On my initial view of the chronology there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of how some of the responses were being co-ordinated. Whether any of that was causative of her death is another matter that must be considered by the court.
“When it comes to rising water levels and the method of death that occurred which is drowning, there is a very limited window of time available to be able to respond and save a life in those circumstances.”
Saffron was eventually rescued by emergency crews but tragically couldn’t be saved.
A post mortem has been carried out but Saffron’s cause of death has not been revealed.
Mr Stewart said a full inquest would “examine the circumstances” of how she became trapped in the rocks and then “sadly dying as a result of the water levels rising”.
He adjourned the inquest for another pre-inquest hearing in September or October, with a view to a full hearing in March or April next year.
It previously emerged Saffron was walking along a path under the town’s Esplanade promenade, despite signs telling people to keep away from the area.
Local likened the path to an “ice rink” as it was so slippery due to it being covered in algae.
Tributes flooded for Saffron, who lived in Lowestoft with her partner and children after moving from Gillingham, Kent.
She had two daughters aged 11 and seven and a baby son born last year.
Friend Trish Butler said Saffron was “a beautiful girl inside and out”.
She added: “She was a lovely girl and a wonderful person, and the life and soul wherever she went.”
Flowers left at the scene of the tragedy described her as a “beautiful” mum who would be “forever missed”.
One touching tribute said: “My beautiful mummy, I love you the world.”
Her partner left a hand-written message, saying: “My darling Saff, What can I really say. There are no words to express how much we will miss you.
“The world is so cruel and to take you in this freak horrific way will not sit well with me for the rest of my life.
“You will be forever missed by so many, and I’m really not sure I’ll ever be the same without you. Me and the kids will love you and never forget you.
“Until we meet again, love always, Mike and the kids.”

2 days agoNews PlusComments Off on ‘Time has moved on’ – Man Utd wild child Ravel Morrison, 32, targeting Championship transfer as he puts past behind him
RAVEL MORRISON has pleaded for clubs to ignore his wild child past.
The former Manchester United wonderkid is targeting a move back to the Championship – but wants to put the past behind him.
GettyRavel Morrison has pleaded for clubs to ignore his wild past[/caption]
Morrison was hailed as a whizz-kid of the Old Trafford youth system when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge but he quickly earned the reputation of an unreliable ‘bad boy’.
He made what turned out to be disappointing move to West Ham and then Lazio, where he only managed eight appearances in 2015.
Loan spells at Birmingham City, QPR, Cardiff City, Sheffield United, Derby County and Mexican side at Atlas also didn’t work out.
But Morrison is wiser than the kid who got into trouble, ended up in court and left Old Trafford on a sour note.
Back in September, the 32-year-old signed for the 14th club of his rollercoaster career –Precision FC in Dubai in the UAE second division.
He told The Athletic: “Even now, I can guarantee that if I signed for a club in England, the headline in all the newspapers would be something negative.
“If another player at United gets into trouble, he’s always ‘the next Ravel’. Anything that anyone does wrong gets linked to my name.
“It pops up on my Instagram and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, not again… how many years is this now?’.
But homesick Morrison has set his mind on moving back to England and having one last crack at the second-tier again, where he has already played for six different sides.
He said: “I do believe I can play in the Championship — easy. The frustrating thing is I’m not getting the opportunity.
It all stems from my own mistakes
MorrisonThe Athletic
“My agent has spoken to a lot of sporting directors, chief scouts and heads of recruitment, and we’ve got really close to an agreement.
“Then they get the manager’s opinion and it becomes, ‘Ah, but he’s done this, he’s done that’, and they are speaking about things that happened when I was a kid.
“Time has moved on, it’s over a decade ago. But it’s crazy sometimes how people don’t move on.”
“So many people have formed an opinion about me, but those opinions are based on things that happened 10 to 15 years ago.
“I’m 32 now. I’ve played football around the world and had a good career. I’m not a kid of 16 or 17 anymore.
“But then again, I have to look at myself because it all stems from my own mistakes. I did some things that were wrong and I can’t blame anyone but myself.”
He has won 20 caps for Jamaica since switching allegiances in 2020.
Morrison, who shares the same hometown asMarcus Rashfordin Wythenshawe, has his eyes set on returning to where it all began at Carrington.
Speaking on the Undr the Cosh podcast last month, Morrison said: “I’ve got my B licence now – I did it in the summer.
‘”I want to get into some type of coaching after I retire. That’d be good. I’d like to go back to United!”
2 days agoNews PlusComments Off on Ange Postecoglou SACKED by Tottenham despite finally ending Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with Europa League triumph
ANGE POSTECOGLOU has been sacked by Tottenham despite ending the club’s 17-year trophy drought, it’s understood.
GETTYAnge Postecoglou lifts the Europa League trophy[/caption]
GETTYPostecoglou hugs chairman Daniel Levy following the Europa League final[/caption]
GETTYThe Aussie remained popular with several players in his squad[/caption]
Postecoglou, 59, vowed after the match that he wanted to stay at Spurs, insisting his work was not “complete”.
Nevertheless, chairman Daniel Levy has decided to end the Aussie’s reign, with the club’s dire Premier League form costing Postecoglou his job.
Tottenham finished the season with a 4-1 home defeat by Brighton that left them 17th in the table with 38 points – their worst in Prem history.
They fell six points short of their previous worst points tally of 44 in 1997-98.
Postecoglou’s record in two years at Spurs reads 47 wins from 101 games, with a win percentage of 47 per cent.
The Italian, 52, was the club’s managing director of football between 2021 and 2023, before being forced to resign in April 2023 after beinghit with a two-and-a-half-year worldwide ban by Fifadue to financial malpractice at previous club Juventus.
Paratici is thought to be a fan of former Ajax boss Francesco Farioli.
His tenure began in style as Tottenham made the club’s best-ever start to a Premier League season.

GETTYThe Aussie, 59, claps the travelling Tottenham supporters[/caption]
Spurs won eight and drew two of their first ten Premier League games despite the exit of club icon and record scorer Harry Kane on the eve of Postecoglou’s first match in charge.
They were top of the table until a crazy 4-1 home defeat by Chelsea and a slew of injuries in late October triggered a steady decline in form.
Tottenham finished fifth following a dismal end to the campaign, but many fans still felt optimistic about Postecoglou’s tenure.
Following the City thrashing, Spurs won just one Premier League game in the next 71 days – and that was against Southampton – before eventually ending their barren run at Brentford in January.
‘QUE SERA, SERA’
Postecoglou pleaded for patience amid a heavy injury crisis across the winter months.
And with his first choice defence and front line restored, he was able to guide Spurs to Europa League glory.
Following the final, Postecoglou said: “I would be disappointed if we don’t continue on this path.
“It is difficult to buy into one person’s vision. I have been a serial winner. I know people dismiss what I have won because it didn’t happen here, but they were hard earned.
“There is huge relief. You carry the weight of responsibility and 150 times I have been a spokesman for this club.
“There are no planned meetings. I’ll go back to my hotel room with friends and family, open up a nice bottle of scotch, a massive parade on Friday, game on Sunday against Brighton and then holiday. Then que sera, sera.”
Postecoglou added: “I know our league form has been unacceptable, but coming third was not going to change this football club, winning a trophy would, that was my ambition and I was prepared to wear it if it did not happen.
“People kept reminding me of it because we were getting closer but I’m happy with that.”
