Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley responds to online claims about her being pregnant after what she describes as “lies” and “absolutely horrendous” fake pregnancy posts circulate on social media. She posts an angry message on Instagram addressing the rumours.
The reports describe her reaction as a direct denial and an attempt to correct misinformation, without giving additional detail about the origin or specific accounts behind the posts. The Independent and Belfast Telegraph both focus on her use of Instagram to confront the claims and underline her frustration with the false content.
While outlets align on the core point—that Riley challenges the pregnancy rumours publicly—the coverage mainly differs in emphasis. One stresses the wording she uses to characterise the posts, while the other focuses on the fact that she delivers the response as a Monday Instagram message addressing “lies.”
