OK, so things went a bit further than just a kiss between Jacob Gallagher (played by Joe Warren Plant) and Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) in yesterday's episode of Emmerdale (7:00pm, ITV, see our TV Guide for full listings)... and Leanna's dad Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) is NOT gonna be happy!

In today's DOUBLE installment of the ITV soap, Liam is alarmed when Leanna throws up, having taken the morning after pill in a panic after sleeping with Jacob!

Liam Cavanagh is furious when he discovers his daughter Leanna has slept with Jacob Gallagher and taken the morning after pill on Emmerdale...

When protective dad Liam discovers the truth, it's not long before he's on the warpath and storms down to the village shop to confront Jacob and accuses him of forcing Leanna to sleep with him!

But Jacob's not the only one on the receiving end of Liam's temper when he also discovers Leanna confided in Liam's girlfriend Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) about what she's done and Bernice agreed to keep schtum. Uh-oh...

Elsewhere in the village, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) is far from happy when her fella Paddy Kirk (Dominc Brunt) reveals he has invited a 'new-mums' group over to the Woolpack to support Chas while she is having trouble breastfeeding baby Eve.
