Emmerdale fans were left wondering if Samson Dingle had made a 'big mistake' during his quest to reveal his true feelings to Amelia Spencer. The son of Sam Dingle in the ITV soap has been harbouring feelings for his friend for months, giving her makeovers and hanging out with her and Cathy Hope.
But after a chat with Cathy, telling her how gorgeous he thinks Amelia is, the schoolgirl told him to make it clear to Amelia. Meanwhile, Amelia is continuing to struggle with her body image. Viewers of the ITV soap have watched the teen becoming obsessed with the images she sees on social media and has begun working out and sharing selfies to her own page.
Taking Amelia back the the Dingle's home to help with the pigs, the pair eventually made their way indoors where Amelia continued to talk about how she wanted to look like other girls and not be 'basic'. Eventually, Samson plucked up the courage to express how he feels, telling Amelia: "You must have realised that I like you..." with an oblivious Amelia replying: "Yeah, I like you as well."

Having to explain further, Samson added: "Yeah, but I mean, I really like you. Like do you want to go on a date? I just thought, because..." But Samson was soon left crushed when he was friendzoned by Amelia. She said: "Samson, the thing is, you're like my best mate and we'll always be mates. I feel like I can talk to you about anything and I love you for that," to which he replied: "Yeah, same."
Emmerdale fans were left gutted for Samson but they were also left fearing the fellow teen had made a 'huge mistake'. During their chat, Samson told Amelia that the people she sees online only get their gym bodies from taking certain supplements. His unintentional comment then lead to Amelia going straight on her phone to order some for herself.
Fearing for Amelia, @FLady1980 tweeted: "#emmerdale Oh Samson big mistake telling her that, Cathy will be the leaving the message on Amelia's pictures, I bet my hat on it." @LunaLocoJewels said: "Has samson just given amelia a terrible idea? Maybe he should become an influencer #emmerdale."
@Chris1968E wrote: "#Emmerdale of course instead of Amelia taking Samson's advice she'll go the opposite way & wallop some pills down her gullet." @penniless_poet observed: "Samson going on about chemicals and the little light bulb above Amelia's head pinging on #Emmerdale."
It comes after Amelia, who is working as a babysitter for Gabby Thomas' baby son Thomas, had new gym outfits delivered to Home Farm. As she tried on her new workout gear. Gabby returned home to find her taking selfies on the grand staircase. Instead of mocking her, she offered to take a snap and without asking, posted it immediately to her social media account.
Amelia was worried as she wasn't wearing any make-up and was concerned about the way she looked. She kept it up thanks to Gabby's encouragement and later, Cathy told her that her post had gone viral with the likes on the post quickly shooting up. However, after reading a negative comment about herself, Amelia deleted the photo.
"Someone is already trolling me!" Amelia said as Cathy asked who. She explained: "I don't know, he's called Buffboy44 and he says: 'I look too bony and ill'." While Cathy told her to ignore it, viewers were quickly blaming Cathy thanks to her past trolling April Windsor.
