Emmerdale's Jai Sharma learns how far he's fallen in Friday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Jai Sharma was once in business with Kim Tate, running a lucrative exciting business at the HOP. His home life, living at Mulberry with Laurel and their kids was a happy one.

But everything fell apart when a big event went wrong leaving the business with a huge fine to pay.

As Jai scrambled about to find the money to cover it, bang went his link to the business – and then his relationship with Laurel when he secretly took out a loan in her name.

When Laurel tried to take out a mortgage to buy Mulberry, which she's rented for years, she uncovered Jai's deceit.

Now Jai's living back at Holdgate, unemployed and single.

When Kim reaches out with a proposition, Jai's got a pep in his step. But he soon learns he's been way too previous. Kim's not looking for another partnership - she's looking for someone to cover a shift waiting tables!

Will Jai swallow his pride and start back at the bottom?
