Yahoo News Emmerdale reveals split fears for popular couple in early ITVX release
Emmerdale spoilers follow for Thursday’s episode (November 7), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX and hasn’t yet aired on TV.
Emmerdale has aired worrying scenes for Billy Fletcher and Dawn Taylor, in the show’s latest episode.
This week, Dawn found out about Billy’s involvement in illegal boxing, after he thought that Jade had kidnapped Clemmie and Lucas.
After Billy came clean, Dawn told Billy and Ross that they should take part in the fight to get Jade off their backs and make it look real.

In today’s episode, Jade told Ross that they had to relocate the fight and wanted the new venue to be the barn, despite Ross knowing it was a bad idea.
Dawn urged Billy to stick to the plan that Ross would win the fight. Jade offered Billy a bonus if he put on a good show, but Dawn showed him a wad of cash that could be tripled if the fight lasted just three rounds.
The event was being filmed, and in the minutes before the event, Ross put on an act and showboated in front of the camera, while Billy was less keen to do so.
As the fight unfolded, Billy seemed to have the upper hand, and Dawn looked concerned. Ross began to win, but Billy got up from the floor when both Dawn and Ross thought he was about to concede defeat.

John showed up at the barn and warned Aaron and Mack that the police were on their way, and Jade decided to quickly shut down the fight and the livestream – but Mack hid the money.
As they fled the scene, Dawn was angry at Billy for not sticking to the plan during the fight. Billy apologised, but she walked away without him.
Once they had returned home, Dawn informed Billy that she was no longer wearing her wedding ring, explaining that she had pawned it to get money to place a bet on Ross.

But because Billy hadn’t stuck to the plan, all the money was now gone. As Billy pledged to get the wedding ring back, Dawn was left questioning their relationship.
"Do what you want," she said. "Get it back, don’t get it back. But right now, I don’t see myself wearing it again."
Is Billy and Dawn’s marriage really over?
Meanwhile, things were even worse for Ross, when he was stopped by the police at the end of the episode, presumably for his involvement in the fight.
Aaron also suffered a collapsed lung when he was punched by one of the fight attendees, but John acted quickly and saved his life.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
