In tonight’s episode, she reached for her little bag of powder after Kim Tate sacked her from organising her wedding.

As Kim left Take A Vow, Leyla headed straight over to the table and started making her line, failing to lock the front door in her haste to get a hit.

Cursing Kim as she did so, Leyla got a shock when David walked in behind her and asked what the hell she was doing.

Leyla tried to bluff her way out of it, saying she was stressed after Kim ditched her and thought about trying it for the first time, but David wasn’t buying it.

His ex then admitted she had done coke “three or four times” over the last few months after Suzy gave her the drug.

But again, David wasn’t fully convinced and marched out into the street, insisting they needed to tell Leyla’s husband Liam.

Leyla followed and begged him to give her the packet back, but David refused and demanded she tell her spouse the truth.

But she said: “I don’t need any help David, I’ve just been a bit stupid that’s all.

“Please David, don’t tell Liam, he hates drugs and he hates what drugs do to people and he’ll hate me if he finds out I’ve been taking them.

“I promise I’m going to work on my issues, I’m going to do whatever it takes…I’ll see a therapist, I’ll meditate, whatever, just to get my head straight.

“I’ll never, ever take drug again but please don’t tell Liam, if you tell him it’ll end our marriage…don’t do that David.”

As David weighed up what to do and the credits rolled, Emmerdale viewers took to Twitter to discuss Leyla’s drug addiction.

One wrote: “I swear if someone doesn’t tell Liam.”

Another added: “David should give Leyla an ultimatum. Either she tells Liam or he will. Jacob deserves better. She won’t stop until they’re identifying her in the morgue.”

A third tweeted: “Leyla pleading, not a good look and she’s lying.”
