Emmerdale revisits Manpreet's past – with huge row in early ITVX episode

Emmerdale spoilers follow from Sunday's episode (25 October), which is available to watch now on ITVX and YouTube but hasn't aired on ITV1 yet.

Emmerdale's Manpreet Sharma finds herself at the centre of high drama at The Woolpack in tonight's episode.

Manpreet goes head-to-head in a heated clash with Ruby Miligan, when she thinks that her friend is harshly judging her over her past. And the fiery tension is great news for scheming Sadie King, who's looking for any opportunity to paint Ruby in a poor light…

In tonight's episode, Sadie steps up her attempts to drive Ruby and Caleb apart following the secret deal she's made with Joe Tate to destroy their marriage.

Aware that Caleb is becoming concerned about his wife's drinking, Sadie stirs up the situation with a "kind" promise to keep an eye on things for him.

Once alone with Ruby, sly Sadie does the opposite by goading her to spend another afternoon at the pub. Playing both sides off against each other, Sadie also makes out that Caleb is being controlling by trying to curb Ruby's drinking.

At The Woolpack, Ruby and Sadie spend time with Manpreet, Lewis Barton and Vanessa Woodfield.

Sadie stirs up conflict by honing in on a conversation about Manpreet's past selling saucy pictures online – and whether Ruby would ever do the same thing.

The row plays out perfectly for Sadie, as Ruby ends up openly clashing with Manpreet in a drunken argument, in full view of Caleb.

Will this fuel Caleb's concerns that Ruby is developing a drinking problem?

Emmerdale explored Manpreet's side hustle in early 2025 as viewers discovered that she'd joined an OnlyFans-style site.

Manpreet revealed that it all started when she posted some glam pics on her socials and enjoyed the online attention, then was tempted to up the ante when one of her followers suggested a subscription site. However, she soon regretted her actions and feared for her medical career when Joe Tate started blackmailing her...

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
