Emmerdale's iconic pub The Woolpack will be ablaze on Christmas Day, it has been revealed.
The devastating fire breaks out as Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) comes under increasing pressure to get his co-owners Chas (Lucy Pargeter) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) to sell up so that the pub can be turned into luxury flats.

But will the incident scupper Al's plans or end up working in his favour? How did the fire start? And what will it mean for Chas and Marlon's futures?
After the drama of Christmas dies down, the Woolie is set to "rise from the ashes to do a roaring trade once more" but the pub's future ownership remains a mystery.

Kate Brooks, the soap's producer, said: "It's not just the Woolpack that goes up in flames on Christmas Day, as secrets and lies explode, ripping through the lives of some of our much loved villagers and making it a Christmas they'll never forget."
Emmerdale airs for an hour-long special from 7pm on Christmas Day on ITV.
