Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has teased the identity of pregnant teen Amelia Spencer's baby daddy, ahead of the big reveal.
The 15 year old found out she was pregnant last month, before realising she was halfway through her second trimester.
It appears she fell pregnant around March time, and since then Noah Dingle has been ruled out as being the dad amid their blossoming romance.
The true identity of the father is not yet known, despite fans speculating it will be Heath Hope or Samson Dingle - or even Noah in a double bluff.
What has been revealed is that the boy in question is a teenager, and hasn't been around Amelia in months.
Amelia's baby secret will finally be rumbled by her dad Dan next week on the ITV soap, and Noah will be attacked as Dan believes him to be the father. Now, actress Daisy has spilled the bombshell over the paternity of her character's baby will drop "very soon", and that the father may be someone viewers are not expecting.
Hinting at their identity, Daisy said: "You’re going to know very soon. All I’ll say is I don’t think it’s someone people will expect. Me and Liam Fox, who plays Amelia’s dad Dan, actually came up with the idea for this storyline ages ago and suggested it to the producers, including who the dad would be, so I’ve known all along!"
On the moment the truth comes out, she went on: "Dan still sees Amelia as a little girl but she’s growing up and he has to accept that. She wanted to tell him about the pregnancy on his own but it all comes out before she gets a chance!
"Everything Amelia dreaded starts to happen and it’s a nightmare turned into a reality. She’d been holding in this secret, now suddenly everyone knows and she feels very vulnerable." It comes as Daisy also teased what was ahead, and reacted to her looming birth scenes.
She explained: "I’m a little bit nervous but I’m really excited, because I’ve done my prep and stuff so I know where to go with it. I think overall it’s really exciting."I’ve watched a lot of underage pregnancy birth videos. I’ve watched a lot of One Born Every Minute but more of the teen ones because I feel like that’s what my storyline’s created mostly around."
Meanwhile, soap boss Jane Hudson has teased the character would be trapped during the big storm that will cause chaos in the village. She remained coy though over whether Amelia will give birth during the big week, or during the 50th month.
Jane revealed: "Amelia is due soon, and whether or not she has the baby in the 50th celebrations I'm obviously not going to tell you. "But Amelia does play a very big part in the storm and when she needs to be found, because she's stuck on her own, she does play a very big part.
"You'll just have to wait and see that and then going forward, we have just the brilliantness of the Dingles against the Spencers against everybody, and there are some fantastic proper family rows that are gonna take place between these. "There are some brilliant scenes coming up so yeah, that story has got a lot of legs."
Jane later added: "There is Amelia as we said, will she or won't she have the baby during the 50th... so that's going to have a huge part to play."
