Over in Emmerdale village last night (Tuesday, September 19), Victoria went to apologise to Jacob at the hospital after getting some good news from David.

After Jacob had forgiven Vic, it was clear that a romantic chemistry had developed between them both.

Emmerdale: Chemistry for Jacob and Vic

After Jacob’s allergic reaction, Victoria’s world crumbled as Leyla tried to get revenge on her.

Leyla spoke to Gabby and prompted her to fire Victoria from The Hide.

Losing her job, Vic breathed a sigh of relief when David informed her that Jacob was going to be okay.

Heading over to the hospital, Vic apologised to Jacob for her huge mistake.

Jacob forgave her but then sparks flew and she and Vic held hands whilst locking eyes with each other.

Vic then quickly rushed off and made an excuse as to what just happened, blaming Jacob’s feelings on shock.
