Bisson commented: "The thing to remember is that they're just getting drunk together and there are no real feelings. They're both going through a difficult time and end up doing things they know they shouldn't.

"After sleeping together, Jai regrets it - but it's difficult as now he has to cope with the consequences. He begs Rachel to keep quiet, but doesn't talk to her in a very nice way and makes her feel small."

He continued: "It's a one-off - it's just two people finding themselves in a dark place and ultimately doing something they instantly regret.

"It's never to be repeated, and it's one of those things that's in a closet and hopefully won't get out. Jai's going to be constantly paranoid that this might come back and bite him on the bum!"

Emmerdale airs Jai and Rachel's shock encounter on Friday, June 29 at 7pm on ITV1.

Charity will kill her :p

Emmerdale's Gemma Oaten has expressed her disbelief at her character Rachel's decision to have a fling with Jai.

Rachel Breckle, who has had her eye on Marlon and David since arriving in the village in July last year, sleeps with married factory owner Jai Sharma next Friday (June 29).

Speaking to PA, Oaten admitted that she was surprised when series producer Stuart Blackburn informed her of the plot.

"When Stuart told me, my jaw just dropped to the floor," she said. "I didn't see that one coming at all!

"I think I was like the public in thinking it might be Marlon, or it might be David, and then for this to come out it was like what?"

The actress added: "But it made it more exciting for me, because when you read it on paper you think, 'Is this really feasible? Can this happen?'

"But when we actually filmed it you realise it can happen, it was just two people in the wrong place at the wrong time feeling a mix of emotions and the human body and mind does what it does in those situations."

Of the storyline's aftermath, the 27-year-old added: "I think she's got a really massive complex about herself and Jai really doesn't help this. He doesn't treat her very well and he implies he wouldn't have touched her if he wasn't drunk.

"It rubs salt into the wound for Rachel, because she's down and she doesn't get much affection and love from anybody. And to be as close as you can be with another human being and then for him to turn around and treat her the way he does, I think it really hurts and makes her very angry

Emmerdale's Chris Bisson has said Charity is to blame for his character Jai's infidelity next week.

Jai Sharma and Rachel Breckle's one-night stand comes a day after a heated argument between Jai and Charity.

Revealing the source of the couple's troubles, the actor told Soaplife: "He's devastated because Charity won't have his baby. Not having children is a huge sacrifice for Jai, possibly the biggest he could make. He wants to be happy for Nikhil, but he's struggling."

Bisson further claimed that Charity is "completely selfish" to make little of Noah's new passport, which has been updated with Jai's surname following his adoption.

"They're not on the best of terms when the passport arrives and Charity just tosses it aside," Bisson added. "She doesn't even give Jai the satisfaction of seeing the name change. She's being completely selfish. She doesn't realise how much that actually hurts him."

However, the star hinted at a more stable future for the couple, adding: "I think if he had known before that she didn't want a baby, he maybe would have thought harder about marrying her. But he does love her and they do have Noah together - they are a family."
