Emmerdale fans are sure they’ve rumbled newcomer Nicky’s big secret – and think he could be Jamie Tate’s secret lover.
Before faking his death, Jamie was romantically linked to a number of villagers, including Gabby Thomas, Andrea Tate and Belle Dingle. And though they were all women, fans now think he could be having a rather different fling this time.
With Nicky pushing Gabby away as a potential love interest, some fans think it could be because he’s already with someone else.

During Wednesday’s episode (January 18), Dawn and Gabby nearly came to blows as Gabby let slip in front of Lucas and Clemmie that their mum used to be a prostitute.
