Emmerdale's Jimmy King makes a guilty confession next week as the emotional fallout from Heath Hope's death continues.

Jimmy takes the honest approach with Heath's grieving father Bob, but it could be the final straw for their fractured friendship.

Bob is already disgusted with the King family after learning that Jimmy and Nicola's daughter Angelica was driving during the teens' terrible road accident on New Year's Eve.

Angelica lost control of the vehicle but later lied to the police by claiming that Heath's twin sister Cathy was the one driving.

What to Read Next

Bob already knows that Jimmy and Nicola briefly kept the truth to themselves once Angelica confessed to them following Heath's funeral.

However, next week's episodes see the full story come to light as Jimmy comes clean about being the ringleader behind this.

Jimmy tells Bob that he actively encouraged Angelica to lie and keep falsely blaming Cathy.

Bob is appalled by the revelation and struggles to contain his anger towards Jimmy.

Later, there's a crossroads moment for Jimmy as he and Nicola continue looking for a way to get Angelica out of this mess.

A distressed Nicola suggests to Jimmy that they should encourage Angelica to backtrack and claim that she's not guilty.

Having seemingly learned his lesson, Jimmy argues against this and convinces Nicola that they can't force Angelica to lie.

As the family head off for Angelica's court hearing later in the week, they're finally united – but what will the outcome be?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
