Emmerdale spoilers: What happens when jealousy strikes secret lovers Moira and Nate?

Tension crackles between Moira Barton and Nate in Emmerdale

Tension between secret lovers Nate and his married boss Moira sizzles at Butler's Farm!

Having an affair is never a good idea. Someone's always going to get hurt and someone always finds out. And affairs in Emmerdale are no exception! As the sexual tension between married Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb) and her young farmhand Nate (Jurell Carter) mounts it's getting harder and harder to resist each other.

Moira loves her husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) but their marriage seems to be fizzling out. While Cain's distracted and overlooking his wife's needs, Nate's focus is Moira, Moira, Moira.

As the secret lovers plod on with their legitimate relationships with Cain and Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson), jealousy makes an appearance. Will their heightened emotions tip Moira and Nate over the edge and headlong into another snatched, steamy session in the barn at Butler's?

This is the first of tonight's visits to Emmerdale on ITV.
