Emmerdale fans spot something wrong with 'rigid' baby Esther

Emmerdale fans have spotted something wrong with Amelia Spencer's baby Esther.

It was quite the emotional rollercoaster for the Dingle family tonight after Samson called social services on Amelia. As Amelia refused to give her baby up for adoption, Samson hoped the authorities would take her away to "free" himself of the tot.

However, his sinister plan did not come to fruition and instead he caused much anguish for various family members. During the episode, various shots showed Amelia holding Esther, but viewers were not convinced it was a real baby in each of them.

Anne Mackle wrote on Twitter: "Why can't they have a real baby lying in her arms. Or at least a weighed doll same size as a baby. It just looks daft!"

Sonia Stephenson criticised: "Really stupid, that fake baby is half the size of the real one."

Kayleigh Gove said: "Oh Jesus, at least get something a little less... Rigid. Only thing a doctor will find on that baby is the manufacturers mark!"

Carole asked: "Is that baby a lemonade bottle wrapped in a blanket?"

Holly said: "The baby looks fake."

One viewer commented: "One minute a doll, next minute a real baby."

Another joked: "Hope that lady realises that baby is only a doll."

Posting a picture of a doll, a third wrote: "GP will highly likely discover there’s something not quite right about Amelia’s baby."

It comes after Emmerdale fans "worked out" when Paddy Kirk will learn the truth about his wife Chas Dingle's affair with Al Chapman. Tuesday's episode ended with a dramatic cliffhanger as Chas shoved her husband away as she yelled at him asking why he had never left her.

Paddy looked shocked and confused by Chas' words as she stormed out of the room in floods of tears. And now viewers are convinced the penny has dropped for him.
