On New Year's Eve in Emmerdale , Ruby Miligan is in a mess (ITV, 7.45pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

It's been a terrible Christmas for Ruby.

As the family ring in the New Year at Mill, the tormented mum hits the bottle hard and is in a tearful state.

Is it time for Ruby to bare her soul and tell her husband Caleb that Anthony abused her throughout her childhood and that she's worried her dad is their daughter Steph's biological father?

What secret is Anthony about to learn?

Over at Smithy, Marlon's year couldn't get off to a worse start…
