In brand new scenes on Emmerdale, Will finds himself as the target of deep fake porn images and videos.

He will be left puzzled when he begins to see the digitally-manipulated material on his phone and becomes convinced that it is Rose out to get him.

The unknown number continues to send over the material to Will where he confides in Jimmy before deciding to attempt to make a stand.

Believing it is Rose, he furiously rings the number and screeches down the phone, despite being met with just silence on the other end.

Later, as Jimmy and Will come across a new photo of Rose out in Ibiza, it quickly becomes apparent she is unlikely to be his tormentor, given that the phone did not ring with an international dialling tone.

Jimmy later admits more porn clips have been sent to the work email account leaving Will sick.

He then decides to call the cops when a new set of images featuring both his face and Rose's appear online.

Keeping the deep fake horror a secret from Kim, Will is left aghast again when yet another clip is sent to him but this time with a sinister message.

Alongside the clip, a demand for £10,000 is made in order for the videos to stop and the tormentor to remain silent on the material.

Will tells Jimmy about the blackmail as it becomes apparent that whoever is creating the content is not afraid of getting what they want.

Will he stump up the cash in time to stop Kim from ever finding out?
