Trigger Point newcomer says he 'loved' playing villain in in ITV series

The wait is finally over as a gripping new series of Trigger Point lands on ITV this weekend. Viewers of the programme will see Vicky McClure return to her role as Lana Washington, who appears to be battling to handle everything that has happened to her over the years. Lana, alongside the remainder of her bomb-disposal unit, will face significant challenges in the upcoming episodes as they rapidly realise one individual is seeking vengeance. Whilst one person harbours a dark grudge and is pursuing specific targets, the unit finds itself racing against time to guarantee public safety. New to the cast this year is Jason Flemyng , who plays Steven Wyles in the ITV programme, someone who seems thoroughly frustrated with the establishment, reports the Express . Discussing his character with Reachplc before the series aired, the actor explained: "The truth is, he's another little man that's fighting the system and has been hard done by. "In his head, the catalyst system and profit before people, he's had enough and he takes retribution. "He's not without reason, and Vicky's character isn't battling him politically or emotionally; it's just that he's breaking the law and doing something that puts other people in danger. So, that's the essence of their relationship, I think." Discussing his experience of joining the programme, Jason expressed only admiration, emphasising what an enjoyable experience he had throughout filming. He enthused: "I loved it! It was amazing, Jamie (Donoghue) and Chas Bain who shot it, have upped the ante and created something that looks really filmic and beautiful and I was really excited to be a part of it. I had a great time!" Alongside Jason and Vicky in series three, viewers will also welcome back Eric Shango, Nabil Elouahabi, Natalie Simpson and Maanuv Thiara. Discussing what fans can anticipate this series, Vicky hinted at drama ahead. She remarked: "I think you're going to really enjoy their performances. "The team is back, we're more connected than ever, the explosive moments are coming thick and fast. You'll see me running a lot, which is rare. "I just know that people are going to go, 'wow'. I mean, even from the trailer that we've put out. I'm really happy to brag about it, which is a rarity." Trigger Point Season 3 premieres Sunday, 26th October 2025 at 9pm on ITV1 and STV, with the full series available to stream on ITVX and STV Player.

Rajasthan Govt Officer Fakes Wife's Job At 2 Firms, She Earns Rs 37 Lakh Without Working

In a bizarre case from Rajasthan, a woman has been found earning Rs 37.54 lakh in ‘salary’ from two companies for two years without working. The matter came to light when a petition was filed in the Rajasthan High Court. According to a report by NDTV, Pradyuman Dixit, a Joint Director in the IT Department at RajComp Info Services, allegedly received illegal payments through his wife, Poonam Dixit, who was falsely listed as an employee of two private firms — OrionPro Solutions and Treegen Software Limited — both of which were awarded government tenders. RajComp is a consulting organisation in the field of Information Technology and is fully owned by the Rajasthan government, which offers tenders for different firms. Pradyuman allegedly used his position to help OrionPro and other firms get government tenders. In return for passing the tenders, Pradyuman directed the two companies to employ his wife and provide a monthly salary. Based on the Rajasthan High Court’s order on September 6 last year, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) began a preliminary inquiry on July 3 this year. The investigation revealed that Poonam had received illegal payments of Rs 37,54,405 from OrionPro Solutions and Treegen Software Limited through five bank accounts between January 2019 and September 2020. The money was marked as ‘salary’, even though Poonam had never visited these offices during this period. Pradyuman allegedly arranged for about Rs 1.60 lakh per month to be deposited in his wife’s accounts as a kickback. It was also found that he personally approved his wife’s fake attendance reports to make the payments appear genuine. The probe also revealed that Poonam was receiving salaries from two companies simultaneously. She was receiving payments from Treegen under the guise of ‘freelancing’, while also being falsely employed at OrionPro. After reviewing company records and bank transactions, the ACB found enough evidence to register a formal case on October 17. Pradyuman, his wife, and other officials face charges under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, according to reports. DSP Neeraj Gurnani is currently leading the investigation into the case. Further investigation is underway and the accused are expected to be summoned in court to explain the misuse of public funds.
