Emmerdale first look as maze fire threatens Priya Kotecha

A fire looks set to engulf Priya Kotecha in the first preview of Emmerdale's maze blaze.

A new photo from Thursday's (October 21) double bill teases the aftermath of Meena Jutla chasing a terrified Andrea Tate into the maize maze.

Andrea had witnessed Meena trying to drown Victoria Sugden at the water's edge, so the killer later tracked her down to the maze to confess her intent and then add Andrea to her hit list.

Fire has also engulfed the maze, setting up a frightening situation when Priya finds herself surrounded by flames as she unwisely ventures into the maze.

Priya actress Fiona Wade has teased what Emmerdale viewers can expect while discussing the challenges of filming the fiery scenes.

"Filming the fire scenes in the maze was extremely exciting and equally terrifying at moments," she said. "It's an amazing experience to be a part of such a wonderful week that's full of so much drama and action.

"There were moments in the maze where the fire surrounding us was so hot I had to stop a couple of times. It's incredibly exciting though to be able to have done a few of our own stunts along with the incredibly brave stunt actors that were with us every step of the way.

"Priya, Andrea and Meena are all in the Maze so it's definitely going to be edge of your seat watching to see who gets out in time…"

Who will get out of the maze alive if the fire closes in on Priya while Meena corners Andrea? There may be nowhere to run...
