In the latest twist in the Emmerdale sexual abuse storyline, Maya Stepney is forced to take drastic action tonight to prevent everyone knowing about her twisted relationship with teen Jacob Gallagher.

Maya has been pleased that lovestruck Jacob has been sending her shirtless selfies – that is until her mobile phone falls into the wrong hands!

Maya, who’s already been warned by headteacher Jessie Grant over her inappropriate behaviour around male students, then takes the shocking step of ripping the phone out of the little girl’s hands.

Not surprisingly, Priya is amazed by what she’s witnessed. What on earth could cause a grown woman to behave like that to a little girl?

Priya decides she has to tell David about what she’s seen. It looks like the net is closing in on Maya and surely it can’t be long before David works out what’s been going on between her and Jacob?
