Emmerdale's Jai is ready to listen in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Having been told that Amit Sharma is a violent homophobe, Jai and Laurel want nothing to do with him.

But he's not of course. The reason Amit punched Nicky, his son Suni's boyfriend, is because Nicky accused him of murdering Rishi not because he's gay.

Jai and Laurel, so far, don't know Amit's secret – that he was at Holdgate when his brother Rishi fell and died. He's furious with Suni for having told Nicky his murky secret which changes everything about Rishi's death.

Desperate to make sure no one else finds out, least of all Jai, Amit's happy to go along with this homophobic ruse. 

But with Jai now not wanting anything to do with his 'homophobic' biological father, will Amit come clean and admit he was at Holdgate that fateful day?
