Soap viewers have been treated to a “perfect” extra helping of the beloved Robron nuptials after ITV shared a previously unseen look at the newlyweds’ big day.
Emmerdale devotees were over the moon that a long-running storyline thread was resolved in the short clip, released on YouTube after Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle’s wedding aired last week.
But some fans were a little disgruntled the 50 second scene was not broadcast on TV, feeling it had been left on the cutting room floor in favour of another scene featuring Rebecca White.
Viewed only 40,000 times, the ‘secret’ scene shows Aaron presenting his husband with a special gift to commemorate them tying the knot – even though they had agreed not to get each other presents.

The gift – a watch – in fact already belonged to Robert – he thought he had lost it, but it turns out Aaron had retained it after their previous relationship together fell apart.
“I kind of kept it, when we broke up,” a sheepish Aaron admits before pointing out a engraving to mark their wedding day.
“I told myself it was to annoy you, but it wasn’t.”
And as Aaron added it was also proof his partner had never lost him either, Robert responded: “I love it. And I love you.”

Overwhelmed fans could not understand why the “amazing” scene had been edited out.

Such a shame they deleted the watch scene it was so important #Robron

I loved the #RobronWedding but if the episode was a 1 hour episode, we could have seen a bed scene, Robert sneaking out of the pub, the watch scene not being deleted, longer vows/speeches, Robert drinking out of welly, #Robron dancing together and maybe a quickie in the garage.

And for those viewers who may not immediately recall the backstory involving the watch, here is a helpful reminder.

We know Robron are very happy together again but… a quick word of advice to Robert… if things start going badly again, just keep an eye on your valuables.
