Emmerdale spoilers: Megan Macey tells ex Jai she doesn’t want their daughter Eliza visiting her in prison as she faces being sent down for Pollard’s accident

MEGAN Macey makes a heart-breaking decision in Emmerdale next week when she tells Jai Sharma that she doesn’t want their daughter Eliza to see her in prison.

The wedding planner – who’s played by Gaynor Faye in the ITV soap – is facing prison time after causing an accident that left pensioner Eric Pollard in a critical condition.

Megan puts on a front, not letting anyone see how worried she is about her upcoming sentencing.

But her façade breaks down when she insists that little Eliza shouldn’t visit her if she does ends up going to prison.

Megan accidentally caused the smash that led to Eric – Chris Chittell – being hospitalised last month when she crashed into Jamie Tate’s car while texting her on/off lover Frank Clayton.

Jamie’s car was the shunted forward and he knocked over Eric, who was hurrying to the Woolpack to tell Faith Dingle that he loved her.

Eric appeared okay at the scene but was taken to hospital anyway. But his family and friends were given a scare when he took a turn for the worse and ended up in a coma.

Luckily he pulled through and, unable to live with the guilt, Megan went to the police and told them she was the one who caused the crash.

She admitted she’d been texting while driving, with little Eliza in the car. Driving while using a handheld phone has been illegal in the UK since 2003.

Emmerdale fans have feared Megan might be looking at a prison sentence as actress Gaynor has announced she’s leaving the soap.

Last month the star, who’s played Megan since 2011, told OK! magazine: “It’s a risk. I need to push myself out of my comfort zone.”
