Emmerdale has confirmed rumours that newcomer Al Chapman is Kim Tate's secret business partner.

New spoilers for next week's episodes have revealed that the connection between Al (Michael Wildman) and Kim will soon be explained on screen.

The ITV soap hinted at a link between the characters last week, as they were both seen having mysterious phone calls with unknown people.

Upcoming episodes see Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) face more trouble with Kim after reluctantly signing over half of the factory to her.

Jai is livid to realise that Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) has sold her small stake in the business to Al, who's in cahoots with Kim.

This gives Team Kim much more control than Jai had anticipated – and it's surely only going to be downhill from here.

Emmerdale bosses have previously confirmed that Kim's plans with Jai will ultimately lead to an outdoor activity centre opening in the village.

Speaking in July, Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks explained: "Getting in bed with Kim Tate is like getting in bed with the Devil herself so it won't be plain sailing for [Jai].

"They are planning a new outdoor pursuit centre at the heart of the village – there will be kayaks, segways, a nice little eatery and will look fantastic and rejuvenate the village.

"It will bring new characters into the village and they can all have fun in the treetops and zipwires."

Claire King, who plays Kim, also recently told Inside Soap: "There is a Kim and Graham story coming up, which does involve family, but also Kim goes into partnership with a new guy who she worked with in Dubai when she went away on a business holiday.

"They're very, very similar, so whether they will click together or explode, who knows? Also, Graham doesn't like it too much, as he feels it's encroaching on his turf!"

Emmerdale currently airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with extra episodes at 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
