Emmerdale fans 'heartbroken' and furious as Priya kisses 'creepy' Al

Emmerdale fans were left heartbroken for Priya tonight as the episode saw the character finally break down over her trauma from Meena's reign of terror.

Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade) has had a tough time recovering from her injuries she sustained in the maze fire started by Meena. Although Meena has finally been sentenced, Priya still has a long road ahead of her.

During her recovery, Priya struggled with an eating disorder, purging and avoiding food. While she is getting help for that, she is still struggling with body image and the scars left behind from her burns.
