Emmerdale’s Al Chapman is revealed to be hiding a secret next week, after a cryptic phone call.
It comes amid drama for him and partner Priya Sharma, leading to him proposing to her.
Priya has never been happier, with her and Al going from strength to strength.
But she’s left hurt next week when she brings up the possibility of marriage, and he appears to backtrack over his own claim that she’s made him the happiest he’s ever been.
Initially trying to hide her upset, Priya ends up confessing how it’s made her feel.

She explains that she only brought it up because it’s something she deeply cares about, and had hoped he felt the same.
It seems to be enough to change his mind too, as Al immediately gets down on one knee.
Priya is stunned when he pops the question, leaving her thrilled.

His son Ellis tells him he needs to do it properly though, with a ring and a romantic setting.
What he doesn’t know though is that moments earlier, Al has just taken a mystery phone call.
While Al goes along with the engagement plan, he soon leaves Priya confused.
