However, other fans claimed the storyline was important for highlighting different kinds of grooming.

One wrote: “People are disgusted with the Maya/Jacob plotline but personally I think it’s important to show that child grooming is a real issue and it doesn’t just have to be men that do it, a woman, a trusted influence, a teacher..praise to #Emmerdale.

“It might be a difficult watch..that’s the whole point! It’s meant to be.”
