Will Emmerdale's Vanessa Woodfield lie to the police in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings)?

Tracy Robinson's in the hot seat with the police who are making their way through the suspects list as they investigate Nate's murder.

As she denies any part in her ex's death, the evidence says otherwise thanks to Nate's real killer, John Sugden.

When the pathologist supplies a date of death, the police reveal they suspect that Nate was killed the very day he set out to start afresh in Shetland.

Tracy tells the officers she was with her sister that day, secretly hoping that she can get Vanessa to tell them the same.

What will Vanessa say when Tracy asks her to lie to save her skin?
