Emmerdale's Moira Dingle sparks new health concern after collapse

There was concern for Moira Dingle on Emmerdale on Friday as the character collapsed.

Just last year the character was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent treatment. Before her diagnosis she experienced funny turns, memory loss, blackouts and she suffered from seizures.

So when Matty Barton watched his mum suddenly collapse out in the field during Friday's episode, he feared the worst. He got her inside and helped her onto the sofa, but Moira said she was fine.

Matty was desperate to call doctor Liam Cavanagh to check her over, but Moira told him not to and that nothing was wrong. Panicking after her collapsing a year ago due to her tumour, Matty confessed his concerns that she might be unwell again.

Moira had seemed a bit off all episode, clearly tired and seeming a little rundown. She called out Kammy Hadiq, and was clearly stressed out and was rushing around.

When doing work on the farm she suddenly fell down to the ground. As Matty later asked her: "What if you are sick again?" she commented that she wasn't and instead she was just "really tired".

Matty was unsure though, remembering what they had gone through a year ago. Moira repeated her claim though, and suggested she may have picked up a virus or something but that she wasn't sick again.

She said to him: "I'm sorry I scared you, darling. I'm just really tired, that's all it is. Maybe I've picked up a virus, the last thing I need is to be ill." Moira went on: "It's just hard at the minute."

Moira told Matty about how much she was struggling without her husband Cain being around, after he fled to chase killer John Sugden who murdered his son Nate Robinson. With her having to do everything and keep an eye on it all, she revealed she was finding it all difficult.

Matty told her she wasn't "fine" and was clearly "not coping", something she had admitted to. With that, he fumed about his stepfather Cain's vanishing act, reminding Moira he was going through his own grief, after the loss of his wife Amy Wyatt this year.

Moira defended Cain though, no doubt recalling how she felt after the loss of a child. But Matty wasn't sympathetic and seeing how much his mum had been impacted, he urged her to tell her husband to come home immediately - but is Matty right to be concerned about Moira?
