Emmerdale spoilers: Tragedy to strike as Dan Spencer's daughter discovers secret KNIFE?
EMMERDALE youngster Amelia Spencer could be in grave danger after she found her uncle's secret weapon in tonight's episode.
Dan (played by Liam Fox) has been struggling to open up to his estranged brother on the ITV soap after his wife Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) discovered him begging on the streets.
After setting Daz (Mark Jordan) up in the camper van in the garden, the family are unaware that he is hiding a threatening knife under his pillow.
But when Dan’s daughter Amelia (Daisy Campbell) decided to go and rifle through the van, she happened across the dangerous dagger. Shocked, she drew blood after accidentally touching the sharp object, as the realisation of what Daz was hiding became apparent.
Earlier in the episode, the Spencers’ complicated relationship hit a rocky patch when Daz spun a lie about his time away from the village after bumping into Marlon (Mark Charnock) in The Woolpack.

You know what, you just can’t help yourself can you
“You know what, you just can’t help yourself can you,” Dan said grumpily.
A surprised Daz looked to Kerry as he replied: “You started it,” before adding: “I totally appreciate it, you covering for me. Truth is, it’s just embarrassing.”
Daz’s attempt at making up with his brother didn’t do him any favours however, as Dan snapped back: “Yeah for me and all, if people knew my brother was living like a flipping hobo.
Later on, Dan gave him another shot at redemption in the family as the pair tentatively watched the football together, as Kerry grinned in the background.
