Maya slept with David and his son Jacob

Viewers of Emmerdale finally found out who is the father of Maya’s baby last night (December 30).

The DNA test results revealed David Metcalfe and not his son Jacob is the daddy.

Doctor Liam brought the results to David, and Leyla read them out.

But others aren’t convinced the baby is David’s and think Liam tampered with the results.

Some viewers are even convinced that Liam is the father of Maya’s baby!

Last year David began dating school teacher Maya, however she soon began grooming David’s son, her pupil, Jacob Gallagher.

It began when he was 15 and, days after his 16th birthday, she began sleeping with the teenager.

Eventually she was caught out and sentenced to 12 months in prison, but was released after serving five.

As she was released from the prison, it was revealed to viewers she was pregnant.

On Christmas Day, David, Jacob, David’s dad, Eric, and Jacob’s mum, Leyla, were shocked to find a baby on their doorstep with a note from Maya.

Knowing Maya’s ex-husband Liam is a doctor, they asked him to look over the baby and enquired about getting a DNA test.

Luckily he was able to help and managed to get a DNA test sent off.

Is David really the father?

However David begged Liam to make sure the DNA test results showed that he was the father and not Jacob, fearing it would ruin his son’s life.
