In the tense clip, Leyla arrived at the Village Hall, but her stalker then suddenly appeared again from a distance.
Suddenly, an angry Caleb turned up and ambushed the stalker.
The figure was revealed to be none other than Home Farm nanny Nicky, played by Lewis Cope.
Caleb demanded to know what he was doing, before Nicky confronted him for sleeping with Leyla.
Fans of the long-running soap flooded to Twitter to share their shock at the revelation with many saying how they didn’t see it coming.
One person wrote: “NICKY?!??” while another added: “Wasn’t expecting that!”
“I never saw that coming,” proclaimed someone else.
“FINALLY SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THIS SOAP HAS HAPPENED,” said another, with someone else simply writing: “What?”
What’s more, more shocking revelations were to follow in the episode as viewers learnt Nicky was actually Caleb’s son.
It was also revealed that Nicky’s dad Caleb is none other than the son of Emmerdale legend Frank Tate.
Franke was the estranged hubby of Kim Tate, with the new storyline revealing he fathered Caleb with Moira Dingle.
Speaking about the big twist, Caleb actor Will Ash said: “It’s nice to have their big secret out in the open.
“There’s been a lot of people speculating, even people coming up to me in the street and asking: ‘What’s Caleb up to?’ and ‘why is he in the village?’
“It’s good for that part of the story to be out there, great for the audience so they don’t start losing interest in that thread.”
