Emmerdale fans get first look at 'young' Cain Dingle

Emmerdale fans have been given a sneak peek at "young" Cain Dingle ahead of a special episode that will air on December 26.

On Boxing Day, the long-running ITV soap will flashback to 1991 to show how brothers Cain and Caleb first met. The episode will reveal why the brothers are estranged and why Cain has kept his brother Caleb a secret for all this time.

Cain will have a visitor on Christmas Day, his brother Caleb, who is surprised their mum, Faith, has recently died. This is because Cain told him that Faith died 30 years ago.
