Emmerdale's Jai Sharma sticks up for his dad in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

For a long time, Jai Sharma hated Amit. He was convinced he'd played a part in his dad Rishi's death and on top of that, refused to acknowledge the man he'd grown up believing he was his uncle, was actually his biological father.

Amit has played the long game with Jai. Bit by bit he worked at their relationship and the pair have now buried the hatchet and a recent grand gesture saw the Sharma dad reveal he's left his sons, Jai and Suni, everything in his will.

What the brothers don't know about their businessman dad is that he was given a huge lump of inheritance money by a relative which was due to have been shared with Rishi… if his sibling hadn't gone and died.

But is the shady Sharma about to get exposed by wily Pollard?

The men were due to go into partnership until Pollard twigged that what his pal Rodney had told him, that Amit is a wrong un, is true.

Having failed to get his mitts on Pollard's money, Amit now hates Pollard. 

While Pollard, with Vinny's help, has decided to dig for some dirt on the ruthless entrepreneur to prove he's rotten to the core.

Having swiped the keys to Holdgate, Vinny tries to keep the Sharma occupied at the Hide while Pollard rummages around the place.
