Despite some predicting it earlier this week, Emmerdale fans were left asking 'are you joking me' as Jacob Gallagher's feeling for Victoria Sugden became clear. It was a shocking start to the week for Jacob as he suffered a severe allergic reaction with his life hanging in the balance.
Viewers of the ITV soap saw Victoria mistakenly told Jacob, who has a nut allergy, that a slider at the tasting event hosted by Leyla and colleague Suzy Merton, was nut-free, leading to a severe allergic reaction. Within seconds he was struggling to breathe as he came out in rashes and started to sweat before collapsing to the ground as he went into anaphylactic shock.
After Jacob's Auto Adrenaline Injector broke, panic ensued as Victoria frantically tried to search for another before Jacob managed to indicate there was one in his car. Victoria was defeated after searching through the car before finally spotting a case holding one of the pens inside before rushing back inside and using it on Jacob.

During Tuesday night's trip to the Dales (September 19), Emmerdale viewers were offered an update on Jacob's condition. While still being monitored in the hospital, Jacob was expected to make a full recovery but is expected to remain exhausted due to what his body had been through.
As David and Leyla went in to see him, the doctor asked what happened as Jacob had been in control of his allergy for years. And while David, who used to date Victoria who had already admitted fault, denied knowing anything, a furious Leyla said she knew exactly was to blame
