Emmerdale fans reckon a huge bombshell is in store for a returning villager.

Angelica King (played by Rebecca Bakes) made her debut on the ITV soap back in 2009. As the daughter of soap legend Nicola (Nicola Wheeler), Angelica quickly became a regular in the Dales.

And at the New Year, she was involved in the heart-wrenching Heath Hope (Sebastian Dowling) death storyline. Fans will recall he was killed off during a fatal car crash.

And in a shocking twist earlier in March, Angelica received a sentence at a Secure Children's Home after admitting her part in Heath's tragic end.

At the hearing, the judge confirmed Angelica would be receiving a custodial sentence as there was "no alternative" due to the nature of the crime. But he revealed it would be considerably shorter due to her guilty plea and previous statements.

Angelica was sentenced to eight months at a secure children's home. It was later revealed the teenager was being sent to a home in Bristol – a four-hour drive away from the village.

Recent episodes have hinted at Angelica's tough time in the Secure Children's Home, where she first faced bullying but now seems to be causing a stir herself.

In an emotional moment, Jimmy (Nick Miles), Angelica's dad, shared his heartache, admitting she's "not my little Angel anymore".

But it’s now been confirmed that Angela is heading back to the Dales. Chatting with Digital Spy at the Radio Times Soap Awards last weekend, actor Rebecca teased when viewers might catch a glimpse of Angelica once again.

She revealed: "It should be at the end of September, so in a few months maybe! I don't really know because we haven't started filming anything yet."

Looking back at the explosive New Year storyline, Rebecca added: "Before we even started filming it, we were told that the driver would be me and they kept us updated. It was really exciting because I'd never previously done anything as big."

When asked if we might see a shift in Angelica this autumn, Rebecca hinted: "I don't know, it could go in the direction of her being a rebel or going a bit downhill but I don't really know yet!"

However, fans now reckon Angelica will have a big bombshell in store for her family. Reacting to her return on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person said: “She’ll be back pregnant with Heath’s child most likely.”

Someone else added: “I have a feeling that’s what’s exactly going to happen!” A third wrote: “Probably pregnant or ends up with Samson’s awful mate.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
