PRIYA SHARMA was forced to reveal the truth about her sudden pregnancy to her best friend Leyla Harding when the pair came face-to-face in a bathroom in tonight's episode of Emmerdale.
Emmerdale: Leyla picks up Priya’s negative pregnancy test
Hiding in a bathroom cubicle at The Woolpack, a conflicted Priya (played by Fiona Wade) was forced to finally take a pregnancy test after repeatedly sleeping with Leyla’s (Roxy Shahidi) now-fiancé Pete Barton (Anthony Quinlan), but she didn’t bank on her best friend entering at the exact moment on the ITV soap.
After sharing the news that it was negative, a stunned Leyla handed the test back to Priya and aired her concern.
“Please don’t tell me I’ve been so caught up with me and Pete that I haven’t noticed this,” she begged, momentarily putting aside her own engagement party to the love cheat and focus on her friend.
But as Priya fumbled to hide her complicated web of lies, Leyla was none the wiser about the pair’s affair.

“[He’s] a guy in Hotten, you know my head was a mess after Rakesh,” Priya continued.
“Yeah well, that’s easily done, I should know,” Leyla agreed.
Seemingly set on keeping her secrets, Priya managed to ensure Leyla didn’t smell a rat as she said: “Sorry, honestly I didn’t want to make a fuss, so can we just forget this and get back to your party, please.”
Later on however, after also telling Pete the news, Priya still appeared to be suffering from the end of their messy relationship.

Pete finally apologised to Priya for his handling of the situation, but her response still unnerved him.
“I guess we should just be relieved that we didn’t get caught out. Great fun while it lasted though hey,” she said sadly.
The episode also saw Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) continue to prepare for the upcoming rape trial of Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather), which will occur in an hour-long special of the soap Tuesday night.
