Emmerdale fans think they have worked out exactly who nanny Nicky really is.
The hunky childcare professional has got his feet well and truly under the table at Home Farm since arriving last year.
Nicky made his debut shortly before fellow newcomer Caleb Miligan.
And Nicky infamously doesn’t have a confirmed surname.
Viewers will remember he found himself employed as the nanny only after the favourite for the job mysteriously withdrew from consideration.
He spun a tale about being solely responsible for raising his younger siblings in order to get hired.
However he has since moved into Home Farm full-time.
And after this week, he is now in a secret relationship with millionaire boss Gabby Thomas.
Emmerdale: Who is Nicky?
But he appeared to manipulate her into deciding to keep it a secret from everyone else.
“It’s just difficult,” Nicky said to a post-coital Gabby.
“I mean don’t get me wrong, I really like you and I had a great time but I meant what I said – this shouldn’t be happening.
“If our roles were reversed, I’d be judged slightly more harshly. Look, I want to be your boyfriend but I’m not sure it can work.
“There’s Kim’s reaction for one thing. I can’t imagine she’ll take kindly to her grandson’s mother sleeping with the help.”
Gabby replied: “Or we could just keep it to ourselves and see how things go…
“You could carry on being Thomas’ nanny and I can carry on being your boss. But then behind closed doors we can be whoever we want to be.”
Nicky agreed – but in last night’s (Friday February 24) episode the pair struggled to keep their secret during a big dinner at Home Farm.
With Kim Tate back and delighted with Caleb, she invited him for a family dinner.
Joined by husband Will and Gabby there with Nicky, Caleb slotted in to Kim’s world.
And while viewers know Caleb wants to take over Home Farm – they are sure he’s not alone.
They are now convinced he is Nicky’s dad and he sent his son for a two-pronged attack.
