Emmerdale's Dawn Taylor is in a spin in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.00pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Dawn Taylor just wants to crack on with her wedding. It's just a couple of weeks away now and there's tons to do. Like sort a dress... and a venue... and, well, everything!

So the last thing she needs is her ex, Alex, back in the mix. But she gets exactly that and is thrown when her son's dad turns up at Woodbine.

Is Dawn about to be slammed with an unwanted custody battle for her beloved little boy, Lucas? 

The last time Alex turned up – when Meena meddled in Dawn's affairs and lured him to the village – the former junkie was adamant he'd turned over a new leaf… has he?

Alex's arrival puts a dampener on Dawn's earlier excitement following an unexpected offer from Kim to host the wedding at Home Farm!
