Emmerdale fans have shared their theory about who Nicky's mother is on the show - and it's someone viewers know already.
It was revealed recently that Caleb and Nicky did indeed have ulterior motives for arriving in Emmerdale. In a chat with Leyla, it was hinted Caleb may have other children, and it is confirmed he at one point had a partner with whom he had son Nicky.
Caleb has been attempting to win the trust of Kim Tate by working alongside her at her business. Nicky has been trying to get close to the family by working at the Home Farm, and started a romance with Gabby, the Mirror reports.

There has been much speculation from fans over potential members of the family - particularly Nicky's mum. One fan theorised on social media: "Nicky’s mother is none other than Barrister Milligan!!! -MIC DROP- #emmerdale."
Fans suspected Barrister Milligan might help free Meena Jutla from prison after she stood alongside her in court. She was only on the show briefly played by Amy Robbins, but could return to help Caleb and Nicky create chaos for the Tates if the theory is correct.
One fan explained their reasoning - saying the surnames were very similar. Caleb was given his surname by mum Faith Dingle from her maiden name and the barrister could have taken his name.
The fan also speculated that Caleb knew Cain was in prison due to knowing someone working in the legal system. Caleb also managed to pay lawyers to get Kyle off a murder charge, despite having no money, so may have had help.
The fan also said it was likely Caleb had known his dad's real identity for years - so why did he feel the need to claim what he thought he needed now?
