Emmerdale newcomer Victor confirmed what he had been hiding on Friday night, after hints something was wrong with his health.
The father of vicar Charles Anderson recently came back into his life, despite a criminal past landing him in prison for decades. Initially Charles' mother Claudette wanted nothing to do with her estranged husband, but she has recently allowed him to stay in the village.
Charles and his father are still not on good terms, but recent scenes appeared to suggest Victor was hiding something, amid speculation from viewers over his reasons for heading to the village.
