Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “ALL is one of the most common childhood leukaemias.

“I think there’s 650 children and young adults diagnosed with that every year in the UK.”

She continued: “What we really wanted to show with this story is what a stress and strain a long-term illness like this can put on a family.

“What we’ll see is how the roles of Dawn and Billy are changed almost overnight and out of nowhere.

“We’ll see how Lucas and Clemmie are affected and the stress that it puts on those sibling dynamics.”
