Emmerdale's Leyla's drug battle exposed as she's caught out by stunned villager

Emmerdale airs big scenes next week, as someone finally unearths Leyla Harding's drug secret.

Earlier this year, fans learned the newcomer was secretly taking cocaine with newcomer Suzy Merton.

Since then, Leyla's addiction has spiralled with her lying to her loved ones and sparking concern.

Only Suzy knows the truth, while she herself has decided to give up the habit - hoping Leyla would do the same.

But despite her attempts to stop taking the drugs, Leyla hasn't been able to and has continued taking cocaine in secret.

Next week, she's caught in the act as one of her closest friends walks in on her doing a line of coke.

David Metcalfe, her ex and pal, is horrified when he finds Leyla with the drugs on the table, as she prepares to take them.

As David confronts her Leyla is mortified to have been caught, with her unable to hide what is going on.

Leyla tries to explain her way out of it to an unimpressed David, but he can see right through it and decides to take action.

Telling her she needs help, he vows to tell her husband Liam Cavanagh what's going on so that he can support her.

Leyla is horrified and begs David not to tell him about her addiction, but David soon messages Liam to meet him.

Liam is confused by the message and sets out to see David, but Leyla tries to convince her ex that she's stopped taking the coke for good.

Will David believe her, or will he spill the beans to Liam?

Either way, it's not clear whether Leyla will stop taking the drugs, and if she will seek the help she needs.

With Suzy also knowing about her secret and this being soap land, the truth is bound to come out at some point.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
