Emmerdale are set to stage a massive stunt for January which will see three fan-favourite characters trapped underwater in a car after it plunges into a frozen lake.The terrifying scenes were reportedly filmed last week where three of the soap’s female cast, including Roxy Shahidi, will be stuck underwater and their characters fighting for their lives.
One soap insider told The Sun: “The bosses want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths when they see the car career off the road and into the water.
