The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) has confessed to murdering her father Anthony in Emmerdale, believing the body in the lake belongs to him.

Last Friday, Kyle (Huey Quinn) arrived outside the pub to tell Ruby, Caleb Miligan (William Ash), Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) that he had just seen divers pulling a body out of the lake, the same one the limo crash happened on.

The group immediately assumed the body was that of Anthony Fox’s, and that it wouldn’t be long until their secret covering up his death was discovered.

Cain, Chas, Caleb and Ruby spent the majority of tonight’s episode trying to work out how the aftermath would unfold.

They were all in agreement that once forensics complete their tests on Anthony’s body, they would find DNA that belongs to one of the six people who kept his murder hidden from everyone.

The conclusion was for Caleb and Ruby to go on the run, but something about this made Ruby feel uneasy. She didn’t want Caleb throwing his life away in the village for her, but he was adamant that he did not have a life if Ruby wasn’t in it.

With the decision reached, Cain and Chas said their goodbyes as Ruby and Caleb prepared to go on the run for the rest of their lives.

Just as Caleb disappeared though, it became apparent that Ruby absolutely wasn’t going to go through with this idea. She disappeared out of the door and then made her way to the police station.

At the reception desk, Ruby confirmed that she murdered her father.

While this is a brave move from Ruby, she remains unaware of the can of worms she’s at risk of opening.

We know that the body in the lake is actually Nate Robinson’s, meaning Ruby is moments away from exposing a entirely different murder.

Can Ruby be saved in time, or has she sealed her fate?
