Emmerdale villain Meena Jutla’s reign of terror in the village could soon come to an end as actress Paige Sandhu has hinted her upcoming “downfall”.

The serial killer nurse has caused death and destruction throughout the Dales since she arrived – from ruthlessly murdering teenage Leanna Cavanagh on her 18th birthday to leaving Priya Sharma with life-changing burns.

And while fans are desperate to see the evil woman brought to justice, 24-year-old soap star Paige has promised more drama in the build-up to Christmas.

As Dawn Taylor and Billy Fletcher’s romance starts to blossom before her very eyes, viewers suspect Dawn could be her next victim on her kill list.

Thankfully, the medical expert could find herself in a sticky situation this winter as Paige confessed her sister Manpreet could be behind her demise.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star and other publications, Paige, who has played the role since she joined the ITV show last year, confessed how things first started to go wrong when Leanna’s ring is discovered.

She said: “Meena and Manpreet end up having an argument and during that argument Meena’s mementos box gets flung on the floor and all of her little bits and bobs are just thrown everywhere.

“And in the frenzy to quickly pack them away before Manpreet can see any of the evidence which would give her away as a murderer, she forgets Lenna’s ring.”

It is at this point that the ring which she sees as a trophy gets stolen by Noah Dingle which he ends up gifting to Chloe Harris blissfully unaware of the connection to the deceased teen.

The star went on to share how Manpreet’s suspicions start to get the best of her as she began to dig deeper into Nadine’s suspicious death.

But unlike many of her other victims, she couldn’t simply kill off her sister because she has “some sort of feeling for her”.

Paige added: “I think she’s always tried to keep Nadine a secret especially from Manpreet because Manpreet is probably the person who knows her the most and knows her the best.

“So, there’s a lot of manipulation and lying and deceiving to paint the story the way she wants it to be painted.”

She added: “I always feel like Meena would murder anyone, would do anything bad to anyone. The only person she would think twice about doing anything bad to is Manpreet.

“So, when Manpreet starts to do these things, Meena can’t just go and off her sister because she does have some sort of feeling for her so she has to choose a different tactic.”

As the residents countdown to the build up to Christmas, the actress confessed she has suspicions that Meena may want to get caught in the end because she likes the idea of people “knowing what she’s done”.

The soap star explained: “The things that she’s getting up to are just getting worse and worse and I think the more time she spends in the village the more people are starting to see through the mask.

“But sometimes I think Meena purposefully lets her 50 per cent mask [show] where you can see that she’s lying but the words that she’s saying are so sweet that [you question it].

“And that’s starting to make her downfall because people are starting to go, ‘Well these things aren’t adding up and I can tell that you’re messing with me’.”
