He added: “My wife was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer back in the summer of 2020. And like so many of you out there it just opens a world that you hope you never see.

While in real-life Navin is a devoted husband and father, on-screen he plays a controlling villain. Convicted killer Nish is engaged in a battle of wills with wife Suki.

He exerts control over her but lately fans have been predicting an affair for Nish. But they think he will embark on a passionate romp with son Ravi’s ex Priya.

One fan wrote: “Priya & Nish, why am I getting potential affair vibes?” Another EastEnders viewer predicted: “Priya and Nish are going to have an affair – I’m calling it now.”

A third person agreed: “Nish and Priya will sleep together soon. Nish is definitely interested in the young lady. I think Nish is underestimating Priya. She is smart and knows Nish is attracted to her. I can see her blackmailing Nish for money.”

Emmerdale usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
