Emmerdale favorite needs medical intervention after brutal injuries

The source of Billy Fletcher's (Jay Kontzle) cash injection has been revealed in Emmerdale and it could have devastating consequences for his family.

As viewers of the ITV soap know, Billy's wife Dawn (Olivia Bromley) was worried when she found a wad of cash at their new home, Holdgate Farm.

Crafty Billy came up with a quick lie and told her it was 'savings for a surprise', which luckily she bought.

In tonight's episode, she was more distracted by the prospect of taking her son Evan – who spent months in hospital receiving treatment after a heartbreaking leukemia diagnosis – home for a few weeks.

Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) arrived and told Billy that she had bought him a car in Bradford and suggested he go there to collect it before it was bought.

However, it seemed like he had other plans…

Later in the episode, we saw an angry Dawn standing on the road outside Holdgate, ready to go to the hospital. Billy was nowhere to be found.

Luckily, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) drove by and offered him a ride. Dawn expressed her concerns about Evan's health and whether or not her husband could commit to the intense weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, back in the village, Mack noticed Billy trip and fall over the side of the hallway. Not only was his face bleeding profusely, but he had an open wound on his side.

Dragging him to Jacob's Fold (and to Charity's beautiful white couch…), Mack asked his companion to properly tend to his injuries.

Billy insisted that no professionals should be involved, having explained that he was fighting in an underground boxing club.

John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who was previously an army doctor, was called in and bandaged his stomach before warning that if he took part in another fight he could be killed.

Returning home, Billy made an excuse that he had been caught in a Boxercise class and apologized to Dawn. When she left to take care of Evan, he got a call asking if he wanted to return to the ring next week – for double the money.

Will Billy be tempted by the offer?
