Emmerdale shows support for England Euros team and adds special scene
The special scene will air on Monday, and will see Jeff Hordley's Cain and Natalie J Robb's Moira reacting to the match.
In anticipation of the Euros final between England and Spain, it's been confirmed that Emmerdale will add an extra scene to Monday's (14th July) episode featuring a reaction to the match.
The scene will be a discussion between Jeff Hordley's character Cain and Natalie J Robb's character Moira, and will seemingly be determined by the result of the match.
Producer Laura Shaw said: "The whole team here at Emmerdale would like to send our huge congratulations to the England football team on reaching the final of the UEFA European Championship.
"We wish them the very best of luck for Sunday and we are thrilled to be showing our support in Monday night's episode of Emmerdale."
The cast and crew have also recorded a video, in which they are seen wishing good luck to the England team ahead of the match.
England reached the Euro final after their semi-final match against the Netherlands, which took place on Wednesday 10th July and saw England score the winning goal in the final minutes.
There have been a number of announcements regarding Emmerdale cast change-overs in recent weeks, with Jurell Carter reportedly set to exit as Nate Robinson, while Coronation Street star Oliver Farnworth has been cast as new character John Sugden.

Speaking about his casting, Farnworth said: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The show has such a rich history, and the Sugden family is integral to that.
"I’m looking forward to bringing my character to life and working with such a talented and dedicated team."
