Uh-oh, it looks like Emma is busted when a suspicious Valerie catches the medic having a lunch date with chef, Aashiq on Doctors!

It all got a bit messy in the kitchen when Valerie Pitman (played by Sarah Moyle) and Emma Reid (Dido Miles) got competitive over dishy chef, Aashiq Sawney (Raj Ghatak) on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Which is why Emma has so far kept her blossoming romance with Aashiq a secret.

However, on today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Valerie becomes suspicious that Emma is hiding something from her.

So she follows Emma to the Icon and is SHOCKED to find Emma and Aashiq on a lunch date!

Caught in the act, Emma tries to talk her way out of trouble.

But as far as Valerie is concerned, Emma has broken the sisterhood code by dating the man Valerie also fancies.

Uh-oh, it looks like it could be WAR!

Meanwhile, surgery receptionist Lily Walker (Verity Rushworth) is still fearing the worst after her latest doctor's appointment.

Afraid for her future, Lily tells fiance Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) that she has decided to tell her parents about her cancer worries.
