Emmerdale: Zak made a shock health confession

On Tuesday night, Chas turned up at the Dingles’ and started accusing Cain of pushing Caleb. Cain told her that he didn’t do it but she started becoming suspicious of his and Zak’s secret chats.

Zak then defended Cain by sharing his alibi – he was with him when Caleb was pushed. Cain had been walking Monty for Zak and was having a cup of tea when Caleb fell.

He’d been walking Monty for weeks because Zak’s legs have been playing up. Cain only knew about Zak’s declining health because he’d found him on the floor unable to get up.

Zak hadn’t wanted anybody else to know as he knew they’d worry about him.

Then on Wednesday Belle also found out the truth. Zak assured her it was all under control, as she insisted he have a proper check up with the doctor. But is Zak telling the full truth?
