ITV viewers distracted by 'stunning' Emmerdale actress

Emmerdale fans were distracted by a 'stunning' actress tonight as the latest instalment from the Yorkshire Dales aired.

Currently viewers are hooked on the soap as the aftermath of Maya and Jacob's affair plays out.

David confronted his former girlfriend and Jacob's teacher in tonight's episode, questioning her 'sick' actions.

Whilst David was adamant that he was only seething after realising the abuse Jacob has suffered, Maya taunted him, suggesting he was actually jealous of her and his son's romance.

But whilst the dramatic storyline ensues, viewers were distracted by how good Jacob's mum Leyla looked.

Leyla, played by Roxy Shahidi, made her first on-screen appearance in August 2008, she left the soap in 2011 but returned to the Dales soap in 2014.

Over the years, she has been involved in many major storylines, including her rushed engagement to Pete Barton.

But tonight viewers only had one thing to say - and that was about her 'stunning' dress sense.

One said: "Can't concentrate when Leyla's looking THAT good."

Another wrote: "Leyla looking stunning as always!"

And a third tweeted: "Leyla’s wardrobe is banging."

*Emmerdale continues 8pm tonight on ITV.
