Will the pair go through with it even though neither of them really want to?

Last year, fans were horrified when Jacob tried to have sex with Liv so he was more experienced when the time came with Maya.

But Liv has recently opened up to Jake about her asexuality, a subject which Emmerdale has explored to high praise from fans.

The character has been open about the fact that she has no sexual attraction to anyone so it is a huge step for her to contemplate sleeping with Jacob.
