Emmerdale fans spot crucial problem with Nate's blood phobia

Emmerdale's Nate almost passed out today because of his blood phobia as Tracey cut herself.

Tracey made them watch a gory film to get him to try and tackle his problem, ahead of her giving birth.

She told him: "It's just blood" but Nate said "That's like saying it's just a peanut to something with an allergy.

"It's not my fault I'm sorry Trace."

He went upstairs, but as Tracey cut a loaf of bread she accidentally cut herself, she screamed for Nate and he rushed down.

He told her he'd phone someone but she said: "I'm cut, it's pretty deep, you are the only person here."

Nate looked like he was going to pass out and he said: "I'm going to need some warm water, a towel and a bucket for me to be sick in."

But lots of viewers took issue with his phobia because he was a farmer and would surely be used to seeing blood regularly.

And many people took to social media to point it out.

Michelle Jones said: "Nate is a farmer who’s scared of blood."

Sinead said: "He’s a farmer.... why so squeamish?"

Colin White said: "So has Nate never delivered a lamb or a calf? Some farmer!"

And Dion said: "How is Nate a farmer??"

Despite his phobia Nate rallied and managed to help patch Tracey up, with her reassuring him the birth wouldn't be that bad and all he had to do was hold her hand.

*Emmerdale continues at 7pm on ITV tomorrow
