MANPREET Jutla finds herself still firmly in the grip of her shopping addiction in Emmerdale next week as she steals from partner Rishi Sharma’s business account to cover her debts.
As the week kicks off Rishi is worried when Manpreet – played by Rebecca Sarker – lies to him about taking a day off of work.
He works himself into a total state and convinces himself that she’s having an affair, despite only just moving in with him.
Meanwhile, Rishi’s son Jai, who knows the full extent of Manpreet’s addiction, warns her that he’s keeping an eye on her.
Later, a confused Laurel Thomas catches Manpreet taking the company credit card.
And when money is transferred from the business account in Manpreet’s personal account, Jai decides to take matters into his own hands.
But he’s thrown when Rishi covers for Manpreet. What is she up to with the money?
Jai rumbled Manpreet’s addiction after watching her car get repossessed by bailiffs and she begged him not to reveal what happened to Rishi.
She went on to explain that when her marriage broke down, she turned to spending sprees to help herself feel better.
But she ended up getting into so much debt that she’s now having to sell her home to cover the debts.
