Emmerdale fans have spoken out after they saw Leyla Cavanagh plant her lips on Jai Sharma following his support after her split from her husband Liam. The wedding planner, played by Roxy Shahidi, mistook Jai's kindness after she received her decree nisi, ending her marriage to the local doctor.
Jai, portrayed by Chris Bisson in the ITV soap, has been looking out for Leyla after she nearly relapsed following her stint in rehab for her drug addiction. Leyla was pushed out by her family after her son, Jacob, discovered she had been buying drugs and, after locking her in her room, met with her drug dealer which ended up in him being stabbed.
The university student was close to losing his life after he took the knife out to threaten Leyla's drug dealer and after his near-death experience, Jacob told his mum he didn't want anything to do with her. But last week, after some words from Jai about how his support will help keep Leyla clean, Jacob started to rebuild his relationship with his mum.
