Emmerdale news: Chilling limo lake stunt details revealed in new promo
The soap has teased its big set piece
Emmerdale is set to air two terrifying new promos for the upcoming limo lake stunt which unfolds later this month. The soap has teased the chilling disaster ever since a flashforward revealed a solitary hand fighting for life beneath a sheet of ice last year.
More details have emerged in the months since. Upcoming spoilers for next week have revealed how 16 lives will be left hanging in the balance when two limousines crash on an icy winter road.
And, as one of the car plunges into a frozen lake, at least one villager’s life will hang in the balance.
Ice lake stunt revealed in new Emmerdale promo
In the lead up to the event, a new promo video shows a red heart helium balloon floating from The Woolpack to the scene of the accident.
As the balloon comes to rest on an icy lake, the mysterious hand can be seen again, fighting for life.

The soap will air a second promo video in the days following. This one will show the two limousines, full of passengers.
As the cars collide, one limo comes to rest on an icy lake – the ice threatening to give way beneath them. Those within soon find themselves teetering over an icy grave.
But which of the 16 imperiled characters does the hand belong to? And will they survive?
