But his secret is set to come exploding out in episodes over the New Year period as Priya asks Ellis to help her invite Al’s parents to the wedding.
But when Priya calls who she believes are Al’s adoptive parents, unaware it’s actually his mystery woman on the other end of the line, she gets the shock of her life.
Will Priya get to the bottom of what’s going on?
Viewers grew convinced that Al was leading a double life when Priya received a suspicious phone call about a hotel booking she had no idea about.
And their suspicions were confirmed when Al called the mystery woman only moments after proposing to Priya, declaring his love for her on the phone and telling her he’d found an alternative booking for them.
On Christmas day, Al surprises Priya with an expensive necklace before fabricating a story that allows him to slip away and visit his other woman.
But Emmerdale has teased that when Andrea, Dawn and Belle then all receive mysterious texts, viewers will realise who the mystery woman is.
Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw recently suggested Al’s secret will explode this Christmas in a “magnificent” way.
Speaking to The Celeb Report Online, Laura teased: “We’ve got a really big fun Christmas coming up and it’s jam-packed full of romance, disaster, comedy, heartbreak, shock twists and turns and a huge secret is going to come out in a truly magnificent way that’s going to make everybody gasp, I promise you.”
