Emmerdale confirms multiple John Sugden secrets in sinister ITVX episode

Emmerdale spoilers follow from Thursday’s episode (April 10), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX but hasn’t yet aired on ITV1.

Emmerdale reveals a string of scandalous secrets being kept by John Sugden in tonight’s episode.

Fans should brace themselves for some game-changing flashback scenes as the truth about John’s darker side finally starts to unravel.

Show bosses have been promising to expose “the real John Sugden” following months of intense viewer speculation that he isn’t what he seems.

In the latest visit to the Dales, the moment of truth finally arrives for fans as we find out what John has been up to since moving to the village last year.

So, which fan theories were correct? Have you been on the right track? Digital Spy has agreed not to reveal any specific outcomes ahead of the episode airing on ITV1 this evening, but you can watch the drama early on ITVX right now if you want to be among the first to know.

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw recently teased: “Since enigmatic and inscrutable John Sugden arrived on our screens last summer, he’s managed to hide some pretty big secrets from his family and friends.

“As his clandestine acts are revealed, the audience has an opportunity to really get inside John’s mind and to finally understand exactly what this mysterious character is really about.”

The revelations unfold just as Emmerdale favourite Aaron Dingle plans to marry John.

Aaron and John’s engagement news was revealed at The Woolpack last month, and next week’s episodes see them arrange a May ceremony, using the bookings that Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh no longer need.

Will Aaron discover John’s true colours before making a life-long commitment to him?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
