Emmerdale star Chris Bisson shared a three-word reaction to his co-star's surprise exit scenes. Despite, obviously, knowing what was coming up on-screen, the Jai Sharma actor shared in fans' sadness at Bhasker Patel quitting the soap as his on-screen dad, Rishi.

Viewers of the ITV soap found themselves flocking to social media to check that Rishi had tragically died before being able to make amends with Jai after a paternity bombshell.

Earlier this month, Jai was devasted to learn that Rishi wasn't his biological father after discovering his adoption papers.

Jai has on numerous occasions railed at Rishi for lying to him but after the arrival of Jai's mum, Georgia, back in the village, things went from bad to worse when Jai told his mum to leave before he later spotted her talking to Rishi, overhearing an emotional Rishi ask his ex-wife if she had told Jai 'the truth'.
