Evil Maya Stepney has manipulated her way in Jacob’s heart, and convinced him to run away from his family – but she took things even further in last night’s Emmerdale.

On Tuesday (May 14), viewers slammed her actions as “poisonous” when she coerced the schoolboy into destroying his phone – his lifeline to his family.

The teacher, who has been grooming Jacob for months, was upset when he revealed he had been in contact with his dad David Metcalfe and was planning to meet up with him.

Unable to hide her rage, she told him that after everything she had sacrificed for him he could “never see his family again”.

She told him: “You don’t need him. Or anyone. It’s just us.”

To prove his devotion to her, the emotional blackmailer asked him to destroy his phone…
