Emmerdale is a village in mourning in Thursday's hour-long episode (ITV, 7.00pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

It’s a sad day in Emmerdale when the villagers have to say last goodbyes to Amy Wyatt and Leyla Harding after they both came a cropper, along with Suzy Merton, in the limo crash on a frozen lake a few weeks ago.

As the villagers prepare for the difficult day ahead, Sarah Sugden’s got something else to think about because she suspects he might be pregnant and prepares to take a pregnancy test…

She would like to have the support of her boyfriend Jacob Gallagher but he’s struggling with his grief for his late mum Leyla, so she goes it alone not knowing what to do or who to confide in. As she reads the result of the test, she struggles to take in the fact that it’s positive… looks like her suspicions were spot-on.

As the mourners gather in church for Leyla, her ex-husband Liam delivers a eulogy while Jacob struggles to handle his emotions.

At the wake, Laurel Thomas, Manpreet Sharma and Nicola King try to boost Jacob, telling him how proud his mum was of him.

But Jacob’s spinning and can’t handle anything, least of all Sarah who’s trying to find a moment to tell him she’s pregnant…

Amy’s send-off is a very different affair. It takes place in the woods where the dearly departed’s grieving husband Matty Barton manages to deliver a eulogy.

And we would be surprised if the day didn’t go by without someone causing a scene so, after hearing that his mum Moira Dingle has called time on her marriage, Matty lashes out at his stepdad Cain Dingle, furious at what he’s put her through.

Meanwhile, Tracy also flashes back to that fateful night…
