Emmerdale's Nicky stuns Gabby with wedding day bombshell
Will Caleb's scheming be exposed too?
Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) left bride-to-be Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) stunned in tonight's Emmerdale (6th June), when he suddenly confessed that he couldn't marry her.
Of course, viewers have been well aware for weeks now that the wedding is a sham, with Nicky only marrying Gabby as part of his ruthless secret dad Caleb's (William Ash) scheme to overpower Home Farm and destroy Kim Tate (Claire King).
Nicky is actually in love with a man called Ally (Josh Horrocks), and isn't comfortable with deceiving Gabby. After meeting up with Ally, though, Nicky felt forced to stick to the plan, and he rejected him - but Ally was determined not to give up on Nicky.
As the ITV soap continued, preparations for the big day were now in full swing as mother of the bride, Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles), took photos of wedding planner Leyla Harding's (Roxy Shahidi) creations, while Kim's spouse Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) advised Nicky that if the wife is happy, the husband should be too!
The oblivious Gabby, meanwhile, was beaming as she got ready for the nuptials, as she and young son Thomas greeted their loved ones and Gabby admitted to feeling like everything was going swimmingly. A typical soap statement just before things are about to go horribly wrong!
As for Kim, she and Caleb met with 'architect' Adrian, little knowing that the man had been helping Caleb hack into her passwords so the latter could clear her bank accounts that very day during the ceremony. Kim offered Caleb a glass of champagne and seemed well and truly taken in as she declared they made a good team.

Later, Caleb's smugness continued as he waited for the right moment to ruin Kim; while Nicky received a call from Ally who had rocked up outside Home Farm and made his way inside. Nicky managed to drag Ally away from the guests, but Ally thought his presence would sway Nicky into walking away from Gabby. Nicky turned him down once more and sent Ally away, just as Gabby emerged wearing her wedding dress.
In Thomas's bedroom, Nicky found Gabby and told her she looked amazing. But when Gabby went on to mention that Bernice had spotted his 'friend' Ally, Nicky covered and also lied that his 'terminally ill' father couldn't attend the wedding - a ruse which had been his reason for bringing the day forward.
When Gabby then asked Nicky to adopt her little boy, this prompted Nicky to explain that he couldn't do it - and he couldn't marry Gabby either, because he's gay. How will Gabby react to this bombshell - and will the rest of the truth come out?
