Emmerdale confirms who got shot in ITVX early release episode as it airs new cliffhanger
Anthony and Caleb were struggling over the gun when it was fired*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Wednesday January 22 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*
Emmerdale spoilers from the ITVX early release episode on Wednesday January 22 have confirmed the outcome of the shooting in the barn. Anthony Fox and Caleb Miligan were last seen locked in a game of Russian Roulette that saw Caleb pointing a gun at his father-in-law’s head.
But viewers did not know who had been shot.
What happened in Emmerdale last night?
Last night (Tuesday January 21), Caleb had tracked down Anthony and driven him to one of Moira’s barns. There he had pulled a gun on his father-in-law and demanded he tell the truth about what he did to Ruby.
Anthony tried to talk his way out of it, claimed Ruby was lying and that as a care home kid, Caleb had no idea how real families worked. But Caleb didn’t buy any of it. He loaded the gun with one bullet and every time Anthony lied or insulted Ruby, Caleb pulled the trigger.
However when Anthony finally confessed – but with no remorse whatsoever, it was revealed the gun was empty. Caleb had just wanted him to feel the same terror Ruby had all those years ago and since.
But then Caleb loaded the gun for real. Anthony played his trump card and revealed Cain and Ruby were sleeping together. In Caleb’s moment of confusion at the revelation, Anthony lunged for the weapon and it went off. The action immediately cut to Cain arriving outside. And that was the ending so we were left wondering who got shot. Was Anthony finally dead?
Emmerdale spoilers confirm outcome of the gunshot
Well, it turns out the answer is no. Anthony managed to escape.
The action picked up as Cain raced into the barn to find Anthony running into the fields and Caleb brandishing a gun.
Neither of them had been hit. The gun had gone off when Anthony tried to grab it off him. Caleb then bent down to pick it up, but Anthony got past him and fled.
Caleb still wanted to go after his father-in-law, but Cain talked him out of it and they headed home, where Caleb was making barbed comments about Cain being the saviour. But he didn’t confront his brother or wife over what he had been told.
New twist at the end of Emmerdale tonight
Although Anthony got away, he only hobbled as far as the depot, where his plan was to contact Steph. But his phone died.
Inside, as he tried to use the office phone, he was confronted by a menacing Aaron Dingle. Aaron had put two and two together and worked everything out. He knows what Anthony is and he is out to punish him.
So what happens next? Will Aaron finish Anthony off?
I’m A Celebrity viewers ‘tear up’ as rapper Aitch makes heartfelt statement about sister Gracie

While fans were voting to save their favourite, many were "gutted" by the announcement.

I'm A Celebrity star Aitch opens up about his sister Gracie
While sitting in camp, Aitch was quizzed by comedian Eddie Kadi on his sister Gracie and her Down syndrome. The Baby hitmaker explained how she loved watching Ellie Goldstein, who became the show's first contestant with Down syndrome on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
Aitch explained that when Ellie appeared on screen, she'd tell her brother, "Ah, she's like one of God's special children like me."
Eddie praised the music star for using his voice to raise awareness for those with the condition.
"It's not even about how to handle it, it's about how you view it. They're the best people in the world. Obviously, everyone would say this about their siblings but forget that she's my sister, she is the sickest person I've ever met!" he explained.
He continued: "I've heard different stories over the years of how kids with Down syndrome get treated and that and it just makes me feel sick."
When questioned whether he'd make a documentary on the subject, Aitch explained that he's already completed one about climbing Kilimanjaro, having filmed the entire seven-day ascent.
