However, because of ITV's coverage of the UEFA Women's Nations League – which starts at 5.30pm – the latest episode has been pushed back.
But all is not completely lost, as fans will be treated to a special hour-long episode tomorrow (Wednesday) to make up for the lost episode.
Emmerdale will return to screens at 7pm tomorrow, where it will pick up after Ruby's murderous confession.
Monday night's episode saw Ruby confess to the police that she killed her abusive father, Anthony Fox.
Anthony – who had molested her as a child and even fathered her daughter, Steph – was killed in January by Ruby, although initially Aaron Dingle was believed to have done it.
However, while Aaron did brutally batter him, Ruby was the one who finished him off – leaving Aaron to recruit John Sugden to help him dispose of the body.
But she was unaware that he buried his body in the woods, and after the villages lake was dredges, and a body was discovered, Ruby believed her days were numbered, so gave herself up.
However, fans are aware the body in the lake is actually Nate Robinson, who hasn't been seen in the Dales since September last year.
Nate's sudden and swift exit, supposedly for Shetland, never quite sat right with fans, and in February a daring stunt scene saw the truth come to light.
When a hen party crashed into the icy lake, the body was spotted for the first time, with only a bracelet from Nate's daughter Frankie revealing his identity.
Horrifying moment Emmerdale legend has nasty fall - leaving him struggling alone at home
He was last seen speaking to John Sugden, after being falsely accused of sleeping with Cain Dingle's wife, Moira.
John has becoming one of the show's most acctive killers – also offing his ex-boyfriend on his wedding day to Aaron.
Ruby, Aaron and John had been keeping quiet about the cover-up, with Caleb and Chastity Dingle later being brought into the fold as well.
But with her confession to the police, what's in store for everyone now? Especially as the body isn't even who they think it is?

Dan Snow comes face to face with an Inca ‘ice mummy': "Nothing can prepare you"
TV historian Dan Snow goes to the ancient site of Machu Picchu in Peru where he makes some exciting discoveries Dan Snow comes face to face with an Inca 'ice mummy' in this latest travel show, Dan Snow & The Lost City, on 5 tonight (Thursday 5th June) at 9pm. The 'mummy' is a young girl who was frozen in time when she was sacrificed to the mountain Gods at Machu Picchu in Peru around 600 years ago. But now, using new archaeology and recently discovered ancient records, a picture can be pieced together of life and death in this extraordinary place. In this 90-minute special, Dan explores the unfolding story of these amazing finds. On his journey to the incredible UNESCO heritage site of Machu Picchu, Dan climbs into the mountains on the trail of the incredible lost city of the Incas. The magical metropolis perched high amongst the clouds, was rediscovered, overgrown by jungle, over 100 years ago. Dan says: 'Machu Picchu is the most overwhelming location for a historical site. Nothing can prepare you for arriving there - it's like a great big Coluseum. It is truly like a lost city in the jungle. It's the thing you dream about when you're a little kid and it's right there, sitting high up in the Andes.' He adds: 'I was lucky enough to go when they were doing some scientific research on an Inca Ice Mummy. It turned out to be the body of a 12-year-old Incan girl, and she was perfectly preserved in the ice. I had to hold it for a minute and I ended up with her in my arms and she's the age of my daughter. It was one of the most overwhelming things.' *Dan Snow and the Lost City is airing on 5 tonight at 9pm There's plenty more on TV tonight - here's the best of the rest..

EXCLUSIVE Loose Women to AXE vital part of the show which viewers love in desperate bid to save cash as ITV budget cuts rage on
Loose Women will axe a vital part of the show which viewers love in a desperate bid to save money as ITV 's budget cuts rage on. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year. The change is a further blow to the panellists which include Ruth Langsford, 65, Kaye Adams, 62, Nadia Sawalha, 60, and Charlene White, 44, who rely on the reactions of the audience to create a lively atmosphere. Bosses have got rid of the studio audience to save costs, with insiders revealing that it's an expensive feature due to being managed by an external company, who also provides security and a warmup person, but for the presenters, it's going to be a 'disaster.' It comes after ITV announced dramatic budget cuts to their daytime schedule from halving Lorraine to 30 minutes and only airing the show during school term times to cutting Loose Women's output to 30 weeks a year. And sources have told MailOnline how key talent on Loose Women are 'upset' to see the live studio audience go because it's what sets the season apart from Lorraine and Good Morning Britain amid fears viewers will 'switch off' altogether. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year A TV source told MailOnline: 'The panelists are really upset over the decision to axe the live studio audience from the show. 'It's what sets the series apart from the rest of ITV daytime and now there are massive concerns that viewers will switch off completely. 'The only concern now is to cut costs and having a live studio audience can be expensive, with the added need for security and a warmup artist. 'Presenters already know how it feels to broadcast the show without an audience because that's what happened during the pandemic, and they all know it creates low mood and lack of atmosphere.' MailOnline revealed it isn't just Lorraine and Loose Women who are experiencing budget cuts and job losses following ITV's recent announcement about merging their daytime shows. This Morning are also suffering from cutbacks behind the scenes with presenters like Alison Hammond told they will no longer fly overseas for A-list interviews, as well as scrapping live outside broadcasts like from their TV forest. It comes as panelist Nadia spoke about the 'brutal' cuts to Loose Women as she explained how tough the announcement had been for staff. She said: 'This show has been highly successful for 25 years, more actually now, it is such a clear brand... 'The brutality of the world... what a lot of people don't realise is that we're self-employed, every contract is a new contract, I could be let go tomorrow or in five years, we're not employees. 'What's been absolutely brutal over the last week and honestly, I feel tearful about it is that hundreds of people are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are people behind the scenes, that support us in every way. 'It's the way of the world, inflation is insane, cuts have to be made... a lot of my friends and colleagues on this show and at ITV have been there for decades, and I can't tell you how upsetting it was to see people walking around numb with shock and fear about what they were going to do.' Last month, it was confirmed that Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women will relocate from Television Centre to a new filming location, where they plan to share the same studio.
