Emmerdale viewers are convinced that they have ‘worked out’ a DNA link between newcomer nanny Nicky and Lydia Dingle.
During tonight’s episode of the ITV hit soap Nicky ended up turning to Kim’s cleaner Lydia for advice after Gabby tried it on with him.
The pair shared a wholesome scene together and Lydia took the opportunity to open up to Nicky about her finance struggles. Nicky suggested that she should speak to Kim about a possible raise.

Lydia took his advice and went straight to Kim and said: “There has been a lot of talk in the news about how much things cost.”
Kim replied: “There is.” Lydia continued: “And I was thinking about the last time I put my prices up, actually no I don’t think I have ever put my prices up. So I was thinking maybe an increase, say maybe 10%?”
Lydia started to panic and said: “Maybe 8% or even 5% I mean things can’t be that expensive if you shop around can they?”
Kim said: “10% sounds great.” Lydia thought it was a 10% decrease but Kim confirmed: “A 10% increase. Are things really that bad?” Lydia added: “It won’t be now.”
Viewers now think that they have spotted a link between Lydia and Nicky's after he gave her the confidence to speak to Kim about a pay rise.

Emmerdale fans believe that he could be Lydia’s long-lost son. Lydia had a stillbirth at the age of 15 when and she gave birth to the baby in the woods.
They think the soap could be revising her backstory and her baby could be Nicky. @penniless_poet Tweeted: “Nicky confiding in Lydia - I think he's got the hots for her in that tabard #Emmerdale."

While @JamieTVandNews added: “Lydia's having scenes with Nicky would suggest he's her kid. Could they be changing her backstory? #Emmerdale.”
