Alex heads off under the pretence of attending the interview, but his cover story is blown when Belle and Chas Dingle spot him handing over cash to a mystery woman. Later, Alex arrives at The Woolpack and makes out that his interview went well.

Belle discreetly tips off Naomi that Alex is lying about how he spent his morning. Naomi is disbelieving until Chas backs Belle up.

Naomi wastes little time before confronting Alex, who comes up with a supposedly innocent explanation for his meeting with the mystery woman.

Alex even introduces the woman, Clare, and her young son to Naomi, claiming that he has been helping her financially after meeting her ex in prison.

Speaking about the storyline, Karene Peter – who plays Naomi – explained: "Naomi is definitely falling for Alex. They've hit it off and Naomi thinks that Alex is misunderstood – she resonates with that. Naomi is a law unto herself, so her dad's recent disapproval isn't really going to make a mark when it comes to her moving forward with Alex.

"Naomi knows what it feels like for people to think you're a bad person and not have any other view of you. She feels for Alex in that way and sees a bit of herself in him. Naomi definitely feels a connection based on that.

"Naomi also genuinely feels that Alex has cleaned up his act. He's very charming and convincing, so she takes him at his word. The more other people push back on that, the more she believes in his reinvention."

On Belle's revelations, Karene added: "Alex explains that away as meeting a friend, who he even introduces Naomi to. That puts her doubts aside because Naomi then meets the person Alex met. Naomi is very convinced that Clare is the person Alex says she is."

Emmerdale has confirmed that Alex has a masterplan to steal drugs from the local GP surgery, which will play out over the next few days.

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