Emmerdale 'gives away father of Amelia's baby' during scene - and it's 'not Samson'

Emmerdale shared new details about Amelia Spencer's pregnancy on Tuesday night, and also shared details about the father.

While no name has been given, we now know that Amelia's baby daddy is a fellow teenager - according to her.

Amelia was asked about when she had sex as she spoke with a doctor in the latest episode, as she planned to book an abortion.

She revealed the sex was consensual and she was not forced to sleep with the mystery character.

What she did reveal was that the boy was "a teenager like [her]" and that they are not together, but the character did not force her to sleep with him.

She didn't reveal exactly how old the dad was though, with the doctor reminding her she was underage.

Viewers picked up on the clues and soon began speculating who the father was - and many decided it can't have been Noah Dingle as first predicted, suggesting with him being 18, Amelia would have said so.

While some were still convinced it was Samson Dingle, others began guessing Heath Hope was likely to be the dad after he disappeared recently.

One viewer tweeted: "Okay - Noah’s not ‘a teenager’ so that puts him out the picture slightly. Only possible people right now are Samson or Heath."

Another agreed: "i’m saying either Heath or Arthur is the dad and i’m leaning way more towards Heath."

A third tweeted: "It’s too obvious to be Noah so I’m going completely out there and say Heath the dad."

Also during the appointment, Amelia had an ultrasound scan where she learned she was mid-way through the second trimester of her pregnancy.

This means she is likely 21 or 22 weeks pregnant, with the doctor advising she was within the permitted dates to be allowed to have the abortion.

No due date or date of conception was confirmed, but if Amelia is 21 to 22 weeks into the pregnancy then she likely had sex around March time.

Knowing this, fans questioned again who Amelia was with during this time, and who she is likely to have had sex with.

It comes after earlier in the year, soap boss Jane Hudson hinted a baby would arrive during the soap's 50th anniversary in October.

While it was thought she was referring to the birth happening around the celebration episodes, she did say towards "the end of the year" so perhaps it will be later.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, Jane teased: "There will be a new baby arriving in Emmerdale before the end of the year.

"I think that's not giving anything away as there are so many female characters in the show, but there will be a new arrival before the year is out. There's probably going to be a birth in the anniversary month perhaps!"

With no other character currently pregnant on the show, it would seem Amelia could keep the baby and the spoiler is about her.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
