Heartbroken Emmerdale fans were left devastated and in "floods of tears" as Faith Dingle tragically died in her son Cain's arms on Thursday night.
In incredibly moving scenes, fans praised Faith's son Cain, played by actor Jeff Hordley, for his 'crucial' last words to his mother as he cradled her during her final moments. Not only did the usual hard-man call Faith "mummy", when he realised she had taken an overdose of her medication, but he also finally told her "I love you" - the three words Faith had been desperate to hear.
Apologising for his stubborn behaviour over the years and turmoil he had caused, Cain lay down in bed next to Faith and told her: "It's okay I've got you." He carried on: "I am sorry for being like that, I am sorry. I love you mum."
