‘Fire the cameraman!’ rant Emmerdale fans as they’re left with headaches over shaky footage of Victoria & Leyla’s brawl
EMMERDALE fans have been left feeling dizzy over incredibly shaky footage of Victoria and Leyla’s epic street brawl.
The two women came to blows amid a furious clash over the breakdown of Victoria’s relationship with Leyla’s son Jacob.
Victoria and Jacob called it quits after their tumultuous relationship which began off the back of Vic dating Jacob’s dad, David.
However, with the romance firmly off, Jacob has been left whining and pining over his ex, who appeared to be offering a glimmer of hope for their future.
Jacob opted not to pursue his study dreams in Berlin and remain in the Dales with the hope of rekindling the lost spark.
This left his mother Leyla fuming as she blames Victoria for Jacob sabotaging his whole life for her.
It led to a fiery spat between the warring women as they faced off in the street.
Leyla said: “OK, play the fool if you like but just stay away from my son. You know you’re not good enough for him.”
“You’re insane,” Victoria replied as Leyla threatened: “You’ll see how insane I am if you don’t stop encouraging him to defer his studies.
In shock words, Leyla likened Victoria to Maya Stepney, David’s previous ex-girlfriend who groomed Jacob into a relationship while he was still an underage teen.
Victoria slapped her in horror at the thought of being compared to the abuser amid their age gap love.
However, fans were truly unable to concentrate on the row as a result of the oddly unprofessional camera work for the high octane scene.
Appearing to have been recorded handheld, the camera could not stop shaking as the footage appeared all over the place.
The camera tremors took all the attention as fans flocked to X to have their say.
One penned: “Why was the camera shaking throughout that entire scene?! #emmerdale,”
Another added: “Why is the camera so shaky?! It’s giving me a headache.”
A third wrote in shock: “Time to fire the cameraman – the bloke’s drunker than Victoria with these shots #emmerdale.”
Before a fourth chimed in to write: “What is it with the camera in this scene?”
Once the scenes had aired, some fans were also left blasting the direction of Leyla’s character as they argued that her viewpoint on the relationship had been inconsistent.

Someone penned online: “Leyla agreed with Victoria dumping Jacob initially & why shouldn’t Vic & Jacob remain friends if they think they can make it work? Leyla did with David.
“Also she’s not gonna be looking so smug once Jacob finds out, she’s pushing her son away.”
Another added: “Leyla is a WITCH!! She has made things so much worse…. so silly.”
A third tweeted: “I used to like Leyla! I know she’s always had been a bit self centred but I just feel yet again Emmerdale are ruining another character!
