Emmerdale's Charley Webb left 'slightly furious' after Covid delays her plans
Emmerdale star was not happy about it either."The Christmas nail are here to stay for another week due to my lovely nail technician having to isolate," she wrote."I'm slightly furious that I can't change them/still loving being Christmassy."It's been quite a start to the new year for Charley, who confirmed her departure from the ITV soap last week.During a Q&A session with fans last week, the Bury-born actress hinted that her reason for stepping away from her role as Debbie was partly to spend more time with her family.After an incredible 19 years on the soap, the mother-of-three indicated that quality time with her children is how she plans to spend her new year."This is always my most asked question but I've never answered it before because I've never wanted to make a big deal of it," she explained on top of a family photo."I left to have Ace 2 years ago," I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline."She added: "So, I guess officially it's been a year."Charley had also answered a question from a fan wondering if she's still planning on having more children with her husband, fellow Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden.The couple is already parents to sons Buster, 11, Bowie, six, and Ace, three."Are you going to have any more bubbas? Xx," the curious fan asked.Charley responded, expressing that she wasn't done expanding her family just yet, adding that she'd been feeling rather "broody" lately."People say you know when you're done having babies," she expressed."I don't feel that way.

'Oh the tangled web’ Piers Morgan slams Djokovic as photo emerges a day after Covid test
Piers Morgan, 56, reacted to a photograph of Novak Djokovic surrounded by young tennis players which was shared the day after his lawyers claim he tested positive for Covid.The photograph was taken at an awards ceremony in Belgrade, Serbia, and Djokovic can be seen standing with young people who are holding tennis trophies.It is unclear when the event took place, but the photographs were shared by the Tennis Association of Serbia on December 17, as reported by Sky News.Djokovic’s lawyers say he had tested positive for Covid a day earlier.They are reportedly planning to use the test in question to validate Djokovic’s medical exemption which would enable him to enter Australia without being vaccinated.Upon hearing the news, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to jibe at the tennis champion.The journalist wrote: “‘Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive…”The quote comes from author Sir Walter Scott’s nineteenth century poem Marmion.Piers has previously praised Australia for denying Djokovic’s entry into the country.He told his 7.9 million followers: “The #Djokovic saga is not about whether you believe in Covid vaccines, but whether you believe famous sports stars should play by the same rules as everyone else.“He has the right not to be jabbed, and Australia has the right to chuck him out for making a dodgy visa application."The 20-time Grand Slam winner is still being held in a Melbourne detention centre after his visa was cancelled upon arrival into the country.He was told he didn't meet the country's entry requirements due to his vaccine status.Djokovic has not revealed whether he has been vaccinated or not, although he has been critical of mandated vaccines in the past.Court documents released on
