Emmerdale Unveils Second Body Identity in Dramatic ITVX Release
In a shocking development for Emmerdale fans, the identity of the second body discovered on Moira Dingle's land has been confirmed in the latest episode, now available to stream on ITVX and YouTube. The episode, which aired on ITV1 at 8pm on Monday, February 2, 2026, delivers intense drama as Moira faces serious charges.
Moira Dingle's World Collapses
Moira Dingle, portrayed by Natalie J Robb, finds her life unraveling when she is arrested and charged after police discover two bodies on her property. The investigation was triggered by Ruby Miligan, played by Beth Cordingly, who suspected that Anya Berisha might be buried there following an encounter last year.
With Celia Daniels' human trafficking and modern slavery operation under scrutiny, authorities quickly searched the area, uncovering not one but two bodies. Moira and her husband Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, were taken in for questioning, with DS Walsh, portrayed by Amanda Ryan, focusing particularly on Moira as the prime suspect.
Compromising Evidence and a Shocking Revelation
The situation worsens for Moira when a blanket belonging to her is found in the grave. Fans will recall that Celia used this blanket to bury Anya in an attempt to frame Moira should the body ever be recovered. Moira vehemently insists that Celia is responsible for everything, urging detectives to track down the villain.
However, a devastating twist awaits Moira as DS Walsh confirms that the second body has been identified as Celia Daniels herself. Viewers will remember that Celia was murdered by Ray Walters, who was later killed by Bear Wolf, leaving police unaware of both killers' identities.
Charges and Emotional Fallout
Shaken to her core by the news of Celia's demise, Moira pleads her innocence once more, but to no avail. In gripping scenes, Walsh formally charges Moira with both murders, leaving her future hanging in the balance.
Discussing Moira's ordeal, actress Natalie J Robb shared insights into her character's emotional state. 'She just feels like she's losing everything and having that massive betrayal from Celia, who she really did think was a friend which is quite sad,' Robb explained. 'Even though she had kind of had that thing in the beginning with them where she had that bit of mistrust, she really did trust her again and everything was really looking up for her and then obviously, one thing led to another and now, she's got Cain to worry about.'
Cain's Personal Crisis Unfolds
Meanwhile, Cain is horrified to learn what has transpired. Chas and Caleb Miligan express concern for him, unaware that he is set to receive his medical test results tomorrow, now facing this news without Moira by his side.
In emotional scenes later this week, Cain receives a devastating diagnosis of aggressive but localised prostate cancer. Overwhelmed by the news and the potential side effects of the recommended radical prostatectomy, he cuts the consultation short and leaves, adding another layer of turmoil to the storyline.
What's Next for Emmerdale?
This dramatic episode sets the stage for further twists and turns in the popular ITV soap. With Moira charged for murders she denies committing and Cain grappling with a serious health crisis, viewers can expect high-stakes drama in the coming episodes.
Emmerdale continues to air weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, with episodes available to stream from 7am on ITVX and YouTube, keeping fans engaged with its compelling narratives and character-driven plots.
