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.

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?
