Emmerdale fans will soon see the return of a village favourite to the ITV soap.
Joe-Warren Plant, who plays Jacob Gallagher, has been off our screens in recent months while the actor put on his skates for the Dancing On Ice reality TV show.
Unfortunately, the star and his professional skating partner Vanessa Bauer were both forced to quit the contest after testing positive for Covid-19.

Joe-Warren Plant, 18, hasn’t been seen in Emmerdale since November. The Sun reports he’ll soon be back in the soap.
A source said: "Joe is really looking forward to getting back to work on the soap.
"He's had an amazing time trying something new but can't wait to get back to acting.
"He was bitterly disappointed with the way his time on Dancing On Ice ended so decided to take a break from social media to clear his head.
"Joe has taken nearly a month off being online and has just really concentrated on himself.
"It's the first time he's had a chance to really process his split from girlfriend Nicole, which happened while he was on the show.
"But he's back now and feeling and looking great with his new look."
Emmerdale character Jacob was last seen heading to his mum's house in Portugal after a tough two years in the village where he was groomed by his teacher.
Joe-Warren Plant recently sported a new hairstyle which many fans say makes him look like world famous music star Justin Bieber.
