Emmerdale fans were left stunned this week when Nicky's identity was finally revealed. Viewers of the ITV soap haven't trusted the 'too good to be true' character since he arrived in the Dales back in December.
He should up after applying for a job as the new nanny at Home Farm - and he quickly caught the eye of Gabby Thomas. Months later, after bagging the job of looking after her son Thomas, Nicky caved to his feelings and he and Gabby started a secret romance.
However, the pair decided to come clean about the relationship, much to Kim Tate's disapproval. But appearing to want to prove her wrong, Nicky declared that he is in love with Gabby and popped the question.
