ITV Emmerdale fans confused by Rishi's actions after car crash

Emmerdale fans were left confused tonight as Rishi called his wife Manpreet following his car crash.

Tonight saw Rishi stuck on a country lane after trying to get to a shopping centre.

Viewers saw Rishi asleep at the wheel, but he soon woke up and called his wife.

But Manpreet didn't pick up so he left her a message and said he was lost as the satnav had taken him the wrong way.

He told his wife his car wouldn't start and that he was without his pills and his battery was starting to die.

He then put on his scarf and wound the window up in an effort to stay warm.

But viewers were left confused as to why Rishi didn't call the police or a breakdown firm instead to try and get some help.

And many of them took to social media to point out the blunder.

Alan said: "Uhhhh now I may be a tad stupid here but instead of constantly calling Manpreet, why not call an ambulance?"

sparkysue said: "Can’t Rishi in #Emmerdale call somebody else?"

Chrisp said: "So Rishi couldn't have called a breakdown or the police."

And Sam said: "Why didn't he ring breakdown cover instead..."

Meena eventually found Rishi in the country lane, with him telling her she had "saved her life".

However it wasn't a miraculous rescue as Meena had tampered with the satnav herself and stolen Rishi's pills on purpose.

*Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV
