Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has confirmed that Alex Moore's relationship with Naomi Walters is a sham.

Alex, who is the troublesome ex-boyfriend of Dawn Fletcher, recently sparked suspicion from Naomi's family when he started a romance with her.

Naomi's father Charles and brother Ethan have both made it clear that they don't trust Alex. Ignoring their complaints, Naomi believes that Alex deserves a second chance despite his criminal past.

In next week's episodes, Charles apologises for being so unwelcoming towards Alex. Sadly, it soon becomes clear that Charles was right to be worried.

Hanging out at the Anderson house, Alex is intrigued to overhear Charles' partner Manpreet take a phone call about the surgery's drug delivery. Once Alex gets a moment alone, he makes a furtive phone call himself.

It's then revealed that Alex's entire relationship with Naomi is a sham, as he's hoping to rob the surgery.

The villain gets his chance when he learns that the surgery building is being closed due to the electrics being vandalised.

Karene Peter, who plays Naomi, explained: "If Naomi knew the truth, I think she would be very angry and very devastated that she had trusted this guy. She'd be super embarrassed as well, because she's defended him against everyone having their views on him.

"Naomi will feel very let down that she was played by this guy, who has drawn her in and used his charm to get her on side."

Asked whether Naomi will want payback, Karene replied: "I think part of her would definitely want revenge. I don't know if her family would let her do anything, but she'd want revenge.

"I think Naomi would be torn, as she is a misunderstood soul. I think she'd feel devastated more than angry, but I'm sure there'd be a part of her that would want to get Alex back for what he's done."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
