Emmerdale rocked as Victoria Sugden and Jacob’s romance cause character’s exit

Emmerdale: Jacob Gallagher and Victoria share a kiss

Victoria Sugden (played by Isabel Hodgins) and Jacob Gallagher’s (Joe Warren Plant) steamy affair caused a heartbroken David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) to leave Emmerdale.

David’s birthday is awkward for Victoria and Jacob as speculation is high regarding who Jacob’s new girlfriend is.

Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) is the prime suspect but David worries the subject is taboo after Leanna Cavanagh’s (Mimi Slinger) death.

Despite the rumours swirling around the village, Jacob and Victoria cannot resist the opportunity to use the empty house for a bit of fun.

However, they have to scramble when David unexpectedly arrives home.

Meanwhile, Victoria is upstairs listening in and cringing at Jacob’s excuse to his stepfather.

When David leaves the house, Jacob reassures Victoria that Gabby will go along with his lies, but things take a turn when Victoria realises she’s lost a bracelet David gifted her.
