Emmerdale confirms Nicky Miligan's second secret

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has revealed that Nicky Miligan has a secret boyfriend who he's hiding from fiancée Gabby Thomas.

Nicky and his father Caleb are currently in the middle of a scheme to swindle Kim Tate out of her late husband Frank's estate, since Caleb is the long-lost son Frank never met.

As part of this plan, Nicky is pretending to be in love with Gabby and is even planning to marry her as part of the swindle.

Viewers got a hint last week that there was more to Nicky's scheme than meets the eye when his friend Ally showed up in the village in secret.

Monday's (April 24) episode confirmed that Ally isn't just a friend — he's actually Nicky's boyfriend. The revelation came about after Nicky's disastrous attempt to steal a car from Caleb's garage.

When Cain caught him in the act, Nicky made it out like he was trying to find the telescope from Isaac's bag before taunting Cain over Kyle killing Al Chapman last year.

Caleb was torn over whether to intervene when Cain punched Nicky in the stomach. Nicky then tried to hit Cain with a wrench, but Caleb warned his brother to dodge — causing Nicky to take another punch.

"You're done, mate. If I was you, I'd start running," Caleb warned Nicky.

Caleb managed to distract Cain by taking him to the pub, then eventually snuck off to meet Nicky in secret. Nicky insisted he was only trying to help Caleb come up with some quick cash.

"There's not going to be a next time, Nicky, because you are going to stay in your lane," Caleb angrily demanded.

Caleb insisted that all Nicky needed to do was keep Gabby "smiling", causing more anguish for his son. The next time viewers saw Nicky, he was meeting up with Ally on the edge of the village.

When Ally referred to Nicky and Gabby's wedding as "a sham", Nicky threw him against the car and started kissing him. Will this secret relationship cause more complications for Caleb?
