Emmerdale fans are convinced they know the identity of Caleb Milligan (William Ash) second secret child.
It was hinted that the dodgy newcomer was a father of at least two children in scenes which aired during Thursday (April 14) episode.
As Caleb's romance with Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) continues to heat up, she quizzed him on why he insisted on keeping their relationship a secret.

She wanted to go public with Caleb but he wasn't sure on the idea as she asked him why their romance had to be kept under wraps.
He then revealed that he didn't want the news to get back to his children.
Caleb's choice of words left fans naturally stunned as he said "kids" and not "kid'.
It could all be part of his twisted scheme to take down Kim Tate (Claire King) but some eagle-eyed viewers are now certain that he has another child in the village.
One fan tweeted: "Did anyone else note what Caleb said to Leyla?'‘I’ve got kids to protect'. Kids as in more than one. So there’s not only Nicky? Another Tate on its way then? Hmm."
A second person added:""CALEB SAID KIDS NICKY ISNT HIS ONLY CHILD WHATTT."
A third viewer wrote: ""I still think Chloe is Caleb's daughter in Emmerdale and Nicky's half-sister."
Another agreed: "True, Amy’s and Chloe’s dad is supposed to be called Tony unless Caleb gave himself a false identity rather than give his real name and is the father to all three of Kerry’s kids through bigamy? #Emmerdale."
It was confirmed that the Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope) is the secret son of Caleb and grandson of Frank Tate (Norman Bowler) in recent scenes.
Nicky previously claimed that his mother had died when he was a teenager and that he helped raise is younger siblings.
