Emmerdale’s David Metcalfe (played by Matthew Wolfenden) discovered his son Jacob Gallagher (Joe Warren Plant) and ex-girlfriend Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) kissing on the latest episode of the ITV soap.
The pair have been romantically involved with one another for weeks, but they have been trying to keep their taboo relationship hidden from the rest of the village.
They both know how much it would crush David if he found out the truth, so they have been sneaking around, desperate not to get caught.
However, their guard slipped on Monday’s episode of Emmerdale and they forgot to shut the curtains while they were locking lips.
Unknownst to them, David witnessed their kiss through a window and looked heartbroken as well as dumbfounded.
Emmerdale viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, as they all had the same thing to say about Victoria and Jacob’s relationship.
Blitz shared in light of their followers: “Poor David – so sad he is leaving like this.”
Barbara White fumed: “I can’t cope with Jacob and Victoria @emmerdale. She’s old enough to be his sister, this relationship is so wrong on many levels.”
A third said: “So Victoria who watched little Jakey grow up, witnessed his s*xual abusive relationship with Maya and now can’t keep her hands off him…. It’s perverse and how can she stay in the show and just carry on when it soon comes out #emmerdale.” (sic)
Mlou added: “#Emmerdale is no one finding the whole Victoria Jacob thing totally disgusting? He was her stepson.”
Michelle Walker said: “I can’t believe @emmerdale have carried on with the Jacob/Victoria/David storyline, I mean it’s already been done with Jacob/Maya/David it’s just ridiculous! #Emmerdale.”
Another fan wrote: “Let’s see how long David can keep this new discovery from Leyland.
“She will skin Victoria alive. Very disappointed at this Jacob and Victoria storyline, it’s just twisted. #emmerdale.”
David actor Matthew announced he was leaving Emmerdale earlier this year after almost two decades on the ITV serial drama.
His exit is linked to Victoria and Jacob’s storyline, and the actor filmed his final scenes in recent weeks.
When will David confront the lovebirds about the situation? Will it be before or after Christmas?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
