Emmerdale: Aaron Dingle talks to Victoria Sugden about his ex Robert

Emmerdale fans are concerned about the fate of Aaron Dingle after he was assaulted after a bare-knuckle boxing match.

In the most recent visit to the village (November 7), now available for streaming on ITVX, the day of the illicit fight between Ross Barton (Michael Parr) and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) finally came.

The duo were coerced into a re-match by Jade (Twinnie Lee Moore), who issued threats against their families if they refused to comply.

Upon discovering her husband's involvement in bareknuckle fights, Dawn (Olivia Bromley) instructed Billy to deliberately lose, as per Jade's wishes, to ensure their family's safety.

When the original location was rejected, Jade insisted that the violent clash take place at Butler's barn. As the fight commenced, Dawn, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) observed Ross and Billy exchanging blows, reports Leeds Live.

However, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) soon appeared at the barn, alerting Aaron and Mack about the approaching police. Jade hastily called off the fight as her gang hurriedly gathered their belongings to flee.

As two tough guys failed to locate the cash pile, Aaron attempted to prevent one from escaping but was swiftly punched. Aaron cried out before collapsing on the barn floor.

A policeman summoned an ambulance while John sprang into action to assist Aaron, with Mack watching helplessly.

John performed an emergency procedure to kickstart Aaron's lungs before paramedics whisked him away to the hospital.

Meanwhile, back at the barn, Mack stumbled upon the cash stash, as Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) dashed to the hospital in a frenzy of worry.

"His lung has collapsed, it's bad", Chas blurted out to Liam, her voice laced with panic over her son's critical condition. The question on everyone's lips: Will Aaron pull through this harrowing time?

Emmerdale enthusiasts took to social media platform X, voicing their alarm, with one fan posting: "Aaron is in danger", and another fervently typing: "OMG Aaron!??? #Emmerdale."

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm.
