Emmerdale fans were left in shock when Caleb Milligan was pushed off a cliff on Thursday night and left for dead.

After causing chaos in the village, it seems Caleb - played by Will Ash - made one too many enemies as someone was seen creeping up behind him.

He was sent falling to the ground below, screaming out in fear before fans got a glimpse of his attacker.
