They continued to tell The Sun: "Last night they saw Moira confess her crimes, but the police are confident they’ve got the right suspect in Adam despite the fact it’s actually his mother’s doing.

"This is how Adam will leave the soap to pursue other projects as he goes down for the crime."

Eek!

Earlier this year it was confirmed that after eight years of being on the ITV soap Adam has quit Emmerdale to pursue other opportunities.

Adam's shock arrest comes after Natalie J Robb (who plays Moira) confirmed she's not leaving the show. She told Metro: "I have just signed another year, so you have another year of me yet! Robert Sugden has killed, but he is still here!"
