The newcomer has been keeping something from viewers.
Mysterious Nicky (played by Lewis Cope) has finally revealed his latest secret on Emmerdale – he's in a relationship with Ally!
It had been a big episode for the manny who got into a scrap with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) after he was caught trying to pinch a car from the garage.
Hardman Cain doesn't need an excuse to turn up the heat and when Nicky poked the beast, the beast fought back, pushing him to the ground.
Nicky didn't stop there as he went to take a wrench to Cain, but Caleb (William Ash) yelled for his brother to watch his back.
As a result of Caleb trying to keep his son a secret, Nicky had to take a not-inconsiderable beating.
The child-minder caught up with his dad later on looking worse for wear, and it's safe to say Caleb was absolutely furious about the stupidity of his boy, taking on Cain like that.
Seemingly not getting any sympathy from his dad, who was more resolved than ever to get what's rightfully his from Kim, and desperate for some kindness, Nicky met up with Ally in a country road and the pair caught up on their unexpected meeting last week.
