Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins)’s relationship has been a guilty secret in Emmerdale for some time now. Jacob first expressed feelings for Victoria when she almost killed him by giving him food that contained nuts, triggering his allergy.
Of course it was an accident, but a near-death experience made Jacob see things in a new light and it wasn’t long before Victoria realised that she felt the same about him. Initially they resisted their feelings for each other, but eventually gave in to their passion.
They’ve had to keep things secret, though, because they know it would break David (Matthew Wolfenden)’s heart if he found out as he still has feelings for Victoria himself.

Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) and others quickly worked out that Jacob had a new girlfriend, and have been trying to get him to talk about who she might be.

Speculation is high on that topic in an upcoming episode, leading to some uncomfortable moments for Jacob and Victoria as it’s also David’s birthday and they don’t want him getting close to the truth.
Everyone thinks the secret girlfriend is probably Gabby (Rosie Bentham) anyway, but David calls a halt to the speculation believing that Jacob is sensitive about having a new girlfriend out of respect for his former girlfriend Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) – who died at the hands of Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu).
