Shaken by events, and by Nikki’s relationship with her student, Jack takes matters into his own hands.

However, we'll also see Ryan Hawley appear as Michael Robson in the Silent Witness episode.

Ryan will be recognisable to fans of Emmerdale, having played Robert Sugden from 2014 to 2019.

After five years in the role, Ryan left, leaving Danny Miller's character Aaron heartbroken.

But since leaving, Ryan and his wife have welcomed a child.

His former co-star Isobel Steele, who plays Emmerdale's Liv Flaherty, revealed the happy news, as she spoke about the possibility of his return to the ITV soap.

Isobel told Digital Spy : "'Hopefully they convince him to come back! He's just had a baby, so I don't know how soon he'd be coming back, so fingers crossed.
