ITV Emmerdale’s Victoria Sugden heartbroken over Leyla Harding betrayal | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Victoria Sugden (played by Isabel Hodgins) has been in a secret relationship with Jacob Gallagher (Joe Warren-Plant) for weeks in Emmerdale.

However, she is trying to hide it from her ex David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) as he sees Jacob as a stepson.

While David and Victoria are no longer together, he is bound to be left heartbroken if he ever finds out about her and Jacob’s romance.

ITV soap spoilers have revealed David misses the secrets all around him as he interrupts Jacob’s conversation about Eric Pollard’s (Chris Chittell) health and is oblivious to the sparks flying between Victoria and Jacob.

The chemistry has been evident between Jacob and Victoria for weeks, but they are trying to keep everything under wraps.

Later on, Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) convinces Pollard to join her for a chat and some golf away from the village.

Meanwhile, Jacob’s mother Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) twigs on to the fact her son’s got a new woman in his life.

When will she realise that his new love interest is Victoria – a woman he used to see as a stepmother?

David actor Matthew opened up about leaving the ITV soap during an appearance on This Morning in September.

He explained: “I am so nervous about leaving, nearly 20 years, almost two decades.

“It feels like the right time the door has been left open – they’re not killing me off, I’ve been promised. Who knows, I might be back [in the future]. Yeah, but we will see.”

Will he leave once he finds out about the romance between Jacob and Victoria?

Could Leyla be the person who breaks the news to David about their romance?

It will be hard to keep their relationship a secret for much longer as the village is a small place, with lots of loose lips.

Perhaps there will be a Christmas showdown between Jacob and David in the coming weeks.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
