Emmerdale faced backlash over Jai and Laurel’s storyline last year with almost 25,000 demanding it was scrapped.

However at the time, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw defended the soap and begged critics to watch it before passing judgement.

Speaking at an online press conference she said: “Please watch it, please just watch it before you make any opinions.

“We haven’t gone into this lightly. We’ve spoken to as many people as we possibly can, we’ve got the research.

“It’s based on real-life and I think people will see that.
