"Billy deserves some happiness after what Dawn did," explains our Emmerdale spy. "His relationship with Gabby Thomas is blossoming, although there have been some teething troubles. But it seems if Dawn can't have Billy, no one can!"

Emmerdale's producer Laura Shaw previously told us: "It's going to be a big story for Gabby, where we delve into the dark side of obsessive healthy eating.

"She lost Vinny and then being pushed away by Ross makes her start to become a little bit more obsessive about controlling what she eats.

"And while initially it'll just look like healthy eating, we'll see how an obsession can start to go wrong."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
