Speaking to The Mirror and other press, actress Charlotte said: "Once you’re an addict you’re always an addict. Anything like this can rock them, but we’ll have to see how each of them manages. That’s always the devil on their shoulder, isn’t it?"

Chris added: "It doesn’t go away just because you’ve stopped taking the drugs or drinking the drink. The temptation is always there. It’s at these points of pressure where people are likely to crack and certainly Jai will come close."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
