Emmerdale spoilers: Jai Sharma hatches plan to frame someone for the disastrous survival week

JAI Sharma is going to sink to new lows next week in Emmerdale when he gets a stark warning over the bridge collapse.

The businessman - who is played by actor Chris Bisson in the ITV soap - owns half of the HOP that ran the survival week that went disastrously wrong.

Viewers know Andrea Tate lost her life in the tragedy after being murdered by Meena Jutla.

However the bridge collapse and subsequent failure to summon help in time for the other injured parties will see the HOP management come under investigation.

Next week Jai will be left worried about a health and safety inspection at the outdoor pursuits centre. 

Meanwhile, a journalist is sniffing around the cafe and asks Brenda about the bridge collapse on the survival challenge. 

When Brenda later explains to Ben she’s spoken to a journalist Ben knows it’s bad news.

He attempts to tell Jai about what’s going on but he is too preoccupied to listen - and things take a dark turn when the health and safety officer arrives.

The Health and Safety officer explains HOP’s management will be held personally responsible if it’s proved the bridge was overloaded leaving Jai terrified. 

When Ben finally informs him of the investigative journalist, privately, Jai hatches a sickening plan to save himself.

He decides to blame it all on Ben - however when Laurel finds out what he’s going to do she’s utterly horrified. 

It’s not long before Ben realises what Jai’s trying to do - implicating him in the blame for all that went wrong.

Jai tries to offer Ben a buy-out in exchange for his resignation, but Ben decides he needs a lawyer. 

When Ben briefs Aaron and Liv on what’s happened, they quickly recognise their level of legal help won’t be a match for Jai’s. 

Soon Aaron sets off to confront Jai and soon matters are made worse when his temper gets the better of him.

Aaron punches Jai, leaving everyone stunned and gives Jai the ammunition he needs to suspend Ben from work.

And while Aaron’s left feeling guilty - could he do something else to make matters even worse?
