Emmerdale, Jimmy King desperately tries to convince his wife Nicola that their temporary move to Dubai isn't a good idea.

While Nicola is eagerly awaiting her opportunity to work abroad for six months, Jimmy is far from excited over the prospect of becoming a house husband for so long.

In a last-ditch attempt to put Nicola off the idea, Jimmy holes himself up in the salon, strips off and places himself under a hairdryer.

When Nicola asks for an explanation, Jimmy claims that he is simply trying to acclimatise himself to the oppressive temperatures they will encounter in Dubai.

Jimmy also makes a show of having to drink non-alcoholic beer and shares his 'concerns' over poisonous insects in Dubai, but will this be enough to give Nicola food for thought?
