Emmerdale's Chris Bisson, who plays Jai Sharma on the hit TV soap, has said that his character's upcoming infidelity is a result of emotional turmoil.

Speaking to Soaplife, Bisson said: "He's devastated because Charity won't have his baby. Not having children is a huge sacrifice for Jai, possibly the biggest he could make."

Bisson further explained that viewers will see a "completely selfish" side of Charity when Noah's new passport is updated following the youngster's adoption.

He added: "They're not on the best of terms when the passport arrives and Charity just tosses it aside. She doesn't even give Jai the satisfaction of seeing the name change. She's being completely selfish. She doesn't realise how much that actually hurts him."

However, the star indicated that there still may be a bright future for the pair saying: "I think if he had known before that she didn't want a baby, he maybe would have thought harder about marrying her. But he does love her and they do have Noah together - they are a family."
