Desperate to be let out of her cell to get to her hospital appointment, Faith screamed that it was life or death - but the police ignored her.

Later when Harriet let her out, Faith was shocked to discover Moira there waiting to take her home.

“You’re going to lose your family,” said Moira as she tried to convince Faith to come home - not knowing where Faith was really going.

But then her mother in law dropped the bombshell on her.

Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw has warned the storyline will be heartbreaking.

She said: “Faith's devastating cancer diagnosis will impact not only her life, but all those around her. 

“We know at the very core of the Dingles is a strong sense of family and love, so for them to try and navigate through this heartbreaking time will be incredibly difficult.

“Faith's zest for life with her spicy sense of humour and appetite for fun and adventure means that while there will inevitably be some painful and heart wrenching moments, we will also see life affirming and positive moments of light in the story too.  

“Given the calibre of actor Sally is, I know she will approach the story with great honesty and depth and do it justice and this in turn will raise awareness of such an important issue that affects many people on a daily basis.”
