Emmerdale teen Leanna Cavanagh, played by actress Mimi Slinger, is tipped to rumble her former stepmother’s fling with her school friend Jacob Gallagher.
The youngster, and the step-sister of Jacob’s ex Gabby Thomas, made a major observation during Tuesday’s episode that has left fans convinced she’ll bring their romance to light.
Jacob, 16, has been groomed for months by his stepmother Maya, who manipulated him into thinking they were in love.
He dumped girlfriend Liv last week after growing guilty, only using their relationship to cover his tracks with dad David’s partner.
Emmerdale fans horrified as Jacob 'sinks to new low' to keep Maya affair secret
But since then, Liv has been blackmailing the couple for cash in order to keep her quiet.
On Tuesday, Maya and Jacob were interrupted by Leanna as they discussed how to deal with Liv.
Leanna flirted with Jacob who told her to go away, with Maya then echoing his words.
She then responded to Maya, asking if “she was next in the queue” to get with him, leaving her squirming.
There was an awkward minute or so as Maya made her excuses to leave, with Leanna noticing her odd reaction.
Then, after being accused of being Jacob’s mystery girl by Gabby, she confronted him determined to find out who it really was.
Fans are now convinced Leanna will be next to find out about the secret couple, and will go all out to expose them.
Leanna has never gotten along with Maya, and viewers are hoping she may team up with Liv to bring her down.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
