ITV Emmerdale's Moira turns to another man as she admits her marriage is on the rocks

Emmerdale’s Moira Dingle will find comfort in another man next week - and it’s an unlikely villager.

The soap favourite (Natalie J. Robb) has had a dramatic few months following the ordeal involving son Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano).

As fans will recall, Matty was jailed after Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) lied to the police about being stabbed. He was eventually freed, after Samson confessed the truth about what happened.

However, it’s Moira's behaviour that has been raising eyebrows among viewers due to her unexpected outbursts. Despite snapping at Matty, Moira didn't seem to remember the exchange and apologised for being "cantankerous.”

She also had a blazing row with husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) - before beginning to sleep in the middle of the day and drinking alcohol alone - a shock to viewers as Moira battled substance abuse three years ago.

The following day she lashed out at Cain again - before returning home in a more upbeat mood. Cain quickly shared his confusion as she had previously left the house in a "funny mood.”

However, Moira couldn't seem to remember her outburst - leaving Cain bewildered. And next week, things are to take a dramatic turn for the beloved couple.

Emmerdale spoilers reveal that Cain's impressed when he catches newcomer John Sugden dealing with a big client of the farm.

Soon there's an argument brewing when Cain confronts Moira over the whisky he found in her bag and Cain's unimpressed to see Moira knocking back painkillers.

Annoyed, Moira points out the unopened bottle of whisky. And later on, Moira confides in John, she's worried about her marriage.

Meanwhile, Nate is horrified when Cain confronts Nate over his relationship with Moira after he catches them both having a drink together.

Nate's hurt as he pleads with Cain that their relationship is in a good place. He's concerned when Cain heads off to see to the kids.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
