1. Matty Barton is outed in prison

Matty sits in his cell as Robbo approaches in Emmerdale. ITV

Matty is feeling more hopeful now that cellmate Les has accepted him as a transgender man. Matty tells visiting wife Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson), and he's delighted to hear they have a new solicitor, finding some optimism that he may be out of prison soon.

Amy is happy to see Matty more positive, but as the visiting time ends, she makes a crucial error when she's approached by Robbo after saying goodbye to Matty.

Robbo's sympathetic front leads Amy to talk openly about Matty's identity, oblivious to the danger she's just put her husband in. Matty is back in his cell just as Les leaves for a meeting with his solicitor, and this is the moment that Robbo heads into the cramped cell.

Matty's blood runs cold when he realises that the man has spoken to Amy, while in the village, Amy is upbeat as she relays Matty's positivity to their family. The menacing transphobe closes in on Matty, but will he be saved, or is his life on the line?

Moira asks Lydia to help her, but what will Lydia decide? Will she expose the truth?
