A Christmas wedding (Emmerdale)

Last year's Emmerdale festive episode mainly centred around Robert Sugden's crazy Christmas coma dream, but it sounds like the show will be sticking to reality this year. No chance of Val Pollard popping up again then, in that case.

Speaking earlier this month, Emmerdale's new executive producer Jane Hudson promised a festive wedding for one of the soap's couples but kept tight-lipped about further details.

Jane confirmed: "We have got a wedding at Christmas. I'm not going to tell you who but let's just say it will bring a different flavour to the village than you've had before."
