Emmerdale fans predict new romance for Leanna as she 'flirts' with character

Viewers are convinced there could be a potential budding romance between Leanna Cavanagh and Billy Fletcher.

Eagle eyed viewers spotted sparks flying during Thursday night's episode when the pair appeared to be flirting with each other.

Emmerdale fans have now predicted a potential romance between them and have taken to social media to share their theories, The Mirror reports.

In last night's episode of the ITV soap the two were sign crossing paths as Leanna left Jacob a voicemail admitting she felt like a "desperate saddo".

She bumped into Billy eating a chocolate bar, and asked him: "Oh wow is it cheat day?"

Billy replied: "Well, I work out so I can cheat as much as I like," to which Leanna responded: "So if I do a few star jumps, I can eat chocolate 10 times a day?"

"And then visit a dentist 10 times a year," Billy said sarcastically, before asking her: "Do you want me to sort you out a fitness plan?"

"I’m fit enough, thanks," Leanna replied, but as she walked off she was seen glancing back at Billy with a grin on her face.

Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: “Ooh bit of a thing there between Leanna and Billy #Emmerdale."

A second tweeted: “So, that's Billy & Leanna going to be a pair? #Emmerdale.”

A third soap fans added: “OMG Leanna & Billy really? #Emmerdale.”

A fourth posted: “Leanna having a crush on Billy? #Emmerdale," and a fifth added: "Leanna and Billy gonna get get together new storyline. #Emmerdale."

The pair came together once again later in the episode as Leanna agreed to take part in a fitness class with her future step mum Leyla.

But as Leanna and Billy spend more time together, it's unsure what Jacob will make of it all if, or when, he returns to the Dales.

Jacob is currently in Portugal visiting his mother, but he and Leanna have enjoyed a romance in the past.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
