Jacob Gallagher (played by Joe-Warren Plant) confessed he harboured feelings for Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins).

The twenty-year old lad made his confession while laying in a hospital bed, where he was taken after having a severe allergic reaction to one of Victoria’s meals in The Hide.

Victoria was initially reluctant to give Jacob a chance, mostly due to their nine-year age gap.

Yet in an unexpected twist that can only occur in Emmerdale, they have decided to give romance a shot.

But due to Victoria’s previous relationship and engagement with Jacob’s father David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden), the pair have had to keep their connection under wraps.

Next week on ITV, the stress of guarding secrets begins to get to Jacob as he continues to remain silent about his love for Victoria.

And after romping together, both Victoria and Jacob are getting reckless.

The pair are playing with fire as they hold hands outside David’s shop and they have to separate quickly when he appears on Main Street.

Could David be on to them?

How will he react once he sees them together?

While this remains to be seen, Victoria is later perplexed by Jacob suddenly ghosting her.

But what could be the reason?

Is there more to the situation than meets the eye?

David Metcalfe is set to make an explosive exit in upcoming scenes of the Yorkshire-based drama.

Since his departure was announced, after less than two decades in the eponymous village, many TV fans have speculated he could leave the Dales a heartbroken man once he figures out his son has become involved with his former fiancée.

The shopkeeper has been keen to fix his relationship with Victoria in recent scenes but was eventually convinced to create a profile on an online dating platform.

David has been struggling to move on from Victoria and, again, attempted to bond with her.

What will he do after seeing Victoria and Jacob together?

Is their romance meant to last?

Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
