Amelia breaks down in Noah's arms after biopsy in Emmerdale

But Manpreet also insisted that it was best to refer Amelia to the breast clinic for further tests. The young woman was later shocked to receive a call offering her an appointment for the very next day. As the ITV soap continued, Amelia asked Noah's mum Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) to look after baby Esther for her, lying that she had a college meeting.

Amelia continued to dismiss Noah when he offered to help, following their split after he was blackmailed into paying off Esther's father Samson Dingle (Sam Hall). She soon set off to get the bus to the hospital, but her anxiety over the distressing situation led her to let the bus pass by. At that moment, Samson arrived, and Amelia ended up confiding that she had found a lump.

Samson urged her to get to her appointment; but when she admitted she was too scared to go, he branded her selfish for not thinking of Esther. Amelia was left upset and shaken, but eventually she made it to the hospital and apologised for being late. Luckily, the nurse honoured the appointment and Amelia was taken for a scan.

She was told that Manpreet's suggestions of what the lump could be might well be accurate - but as the lump was a little bigger than they would expect, Amelia would need to have a biopsy. She also learned that they could do this straight away, and that the biopsy would only take 15 minutes. Amelia was left panicked, though, upon hearing that she may have to wait a week for the results.

When Amelia called in to pick up Esther, she was not impressed to find her with Noah due to Charity having a hair emergency. But once Noah saw she was clearly stressed, Amelia opened up about what she was going through. She also revealed what Samson had said to her, before sobbing that she didn't want to die.

As Noah comforted her, will Amelia be able to get through this worrying time?
