Ross tells a huge lie in Emmerdale that could destroy everything

Ross Barton (Michael Parr) has reunited with Steph Miligan (Georgia Jay) in Emmerdale, but he’s potentially made a massive mistake already.

And it’s only been about five minutes!

Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) decided to work his magic and help get Ross and Steph back together. Steph ended her relationship with Ross shortly after she learnt about her connection with Anthony Fox.

Something like that can really put a dampener on a fledgling relationship, and for her and Ross it was too much.

Steph was distraught to learn of what happened to her mother and became fixated on her looks, claiming that every glance in a mirror she saw Anthony looking back at her.

After several failed attempts at plastic surgery, Steph finally broke down and despite all his support, dumped Ross to focus on herself. She told him she couldn’t be the person he needed, and she was setting him free.

In tonight’s episode, Steph and Ross were in The Hide enjoying breakfast after spending the evening together. As they chatted, Steph wondered if Ross had been with anyone during the period they weren’t a couple.

In that moment, Ross lied to Steph and said he hadn’t slept with anyone else. He claimed that he was a ‘one woman man’ but obviously it would’ve been far better to actually tell Steph the truth.

Shortly after Steph dumped Ross, he hung out with Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker).

They were both lonely and ended up having sex, but Ross made it clear to Manpreet afterwards that he had no intention of carrying on with their fling.

This week, Manpreet will be questioned by a curious Lewis and Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) about her love life. If she tells them about Ross in that moment, Ruby certainly won’t hesitate in telling Steph.

With star Georgia Jay set to depart for her maternity leave, will Steph’s exit storyline begin once she learns of Ross’ secret?
