Emmerdale's Priya Sharma will confront her fears next week when she decides to look at her scars.
New ITV spoilers reveal that Priya starts to feel pressured when Leyla Harding turns up to Rishi’s pre-Christmas get together looking glam.
Ashamed of her appearance and being dressed in joggers, Priya asks for Leyla’s help, but when they head to her bedroom, her anxieties about her body are exacerbated as she looks through her wardrobe.
When Priya plucks up the courage to tell Leyla she still hasn’t looked at her back, she gently encourages her scared friend to confront her fears.
Priya ended up in hospital after getting caught up in a fire in the maize maze at the disastrous survival challenge.
Priya and Leyla are shocked into silence at the sight of the scars on Priya’s back as she stands staring silently at her reflection in the mirror.
Later on outside Holdgate, Rishi’s gone all out but Jai’s concerned when Priya is nowhere to be seen.
Priya fixes herself up with Leyla’s help, although she’s still in enormous amounts of emotional and physical pain.
Everyone is all smiles about Priya’s ongoing recovery, until her anxieties resurface at the mention of food.
Back in 2014, Priya developed an eating disorder and managed to keep it a secret.
It was Leyla who eventually found out about Priya's struggles and tried to persuade her to get help for her unborn baby's sake.
When Priya had an ultrasound scan, Leyla told the midwife about her eating disorder, which infuriated Priya.
A few weeks later, she collapsed in the café and was rushed to hospital, where she was told that her and her unborn child were suffering from anorexia, due to her eating disorder.
This resulted in Priya later going to a special eating disorder clinic to save herself and her baby, but it seems the problem could be resurfacing years later.
Will Leyla spot the warning signs in and step in to help Priya? Or will she go to extreme lengths to keep her eating habits a secret this time?
Emmerdale airs on weekdays at 7pm on ITV with episodes available on catch-up with ITV Hub.
