ITV Emmerdale blunder baffles fans amid Amelia Spencer baby twist

Emmerdale viewers were baffled as the fallout from Amelia Spencer's pregnancy bombshell continued.

The character, played by Daisy Campbell, was rocked in last night's show as she found she was expecting a child. Amelia had been experiencing bouts of dizziness, but was stunned to hear from doctors that she was pregnant.

The 15-year-old was distraught in Friday's edition as she attempted to process the news. However, she has continued to keep it secret from characters including Noah Dingle and her dad, Dan Spencer.

However, Amelia's silence confused fans following the show on Twitter, who claimed the character's age would mean the doctors would directly inform her dad about the pregnancy.

Mike said: "Surely the hospital would of told Dan about Amelia pregnancy to say she’s only 15 years old not classed as an adult at that age"

Kelly added: "She’s under the age of consent, surely they would have made sure she had a guardian with her at the hospital and wouldn’t they have given her a scan/ midwife appointment #Emmerdale Emmerdale"

Vera posted : "How does Dan not know Amelia is pregnant. She is under age (15) they’d tell him and have a duty to inform social services."
