Emmerdale teacher Maya disgusts viewers as she grooms teen Jacob

EMMERDALE fans were sickened tonight as teacher Maya continued to groom teen schoolboy Jacob in uncomfortable scenes.

The abuse has seen Maya kiss her boyfriend David's son and encourage him to develop feelings for her.

In a heart to heart on the sofa in tonight's episode, Maya breathed: "We're just two human beings who quite like spending time together.

"If it all gets too much and you can't handle it..."

Jacob replied: "I can, I promise. I'm not a kid."

Creepily, she replied: "I've never seen you as one."

He asked: "What do you want to do then?"

She said: "You can start by letting me thrash you on one of these things" as she picked up the games console.

Viewers didn't like what they were seeing, writing on Twitter: "Why oh why is Emmerdale being allowed to show a school teacher starting an affair with a school boy??? This is disgraceful!!"

"@ITV @Emmerdale watching tonight’s episode has me feeling very uncomfortable! The whole pupil teacher thing is making me feel uneasy about it all! #creepy Just shows that it’s not always the male who is a predator!

"Fed up with the storylines on #emmerdale and #CoronationStreet Emmerdale has teacher Maya skating on very thin ice with a 15 year old boy. Corrie is about to welcome another teenage mother (14 yr old this time). Do the writers have to go through the A-Z of crime? Too much.

@Emmerdale STOP with the creepy , sickening story line of the paedophile teacher and Jacob. It’s just plain wrong and nasty !! Stop dragging it out !!!!!!!

"The child teacher story line on emmerdale is knockin me sick 🤢."

Jacob looks set to make a decision that could wreck lives in Emmerdale next week as he toys with the idea of coming clean to his dad David about his fling with Maya.

He is left feeling jealous as Maya and David rekindle their relationship and David is concerned about the teen’s sulky attitude. Maya – who is played by Louisa Clein in the ITV soap – offers to talk to him.

When they’re alone Jacob admits to Maya that he’s jealous she’s back with his dad, prompting Maya to suggest to David that they should hang out with Jacob more so he doesn’t feel left out.

Jacob – teen actor Joe-Warren Plant - gets a text from Maya which leaves him feeling delighted and closer to her than ever.

Later the 15-year-old confides in Ellis Grant about his girl problems and a worried Ellis tells David that Jacob is seeing an older girl.

Maya is left feeling anxious about what Jacob has said to Ellis and angrily confronts him about talking to Ellis.

She then coldly tells him to leave her alone and keep quiet about what’s happened between them leaving Jacob feeling heartbroken and gutted.

Feeling extremely hurt and confused Jacob makes a decision that is sure to leave Maya very very unsettled.
