ITV Emmerdale: Amelia Spencer and Samson Dingle's rocky past from enemies to parents

Amelia Spencer and Samson Dingle revealed a shocking revelation in last night's episode.

For a while now, viewers have been aware that teenager Amelia has been hiding a pregnancy. What they didn't know was who the dad could be.

Last night, it was confirmed Samson was actually the dad, despite Noah stepping up to support Amelia. It came as a huge surprise as the former friends had been distant for months.

It was revealed the pair secretly slept together months ago. Few people knew the truth until it all came out on Thursday, as Amelia's pregnancy was finally revealed to the village.

Samson had been pretty awful to her and about her. The seemingly nice character turned vile, sparking outrage among viewers.

But this isn't the first time the characters have fallen out, and in fact way back when they were kids, in 2010, they were basically enemies, reported The Mirror. Amelia accused Samson of bullying her after he shoved her, only for Samson to confess it was actually the other way around.

Meanwhile in 2011 the pair put their past behind them and became friends - even trying to encourage a romance between Samson's dad Sam and Amelia's mum's cousin Rachel. Since then they have been friends, and over the last year or so fans saw Samson expressing that he liked Amelia and wanted to be with her.

As they grew closer she made it clear she saw him as a friend, and Samson realised there wasn't going to be a romance between them. She even confided in him around March or April time as she struggled with her body image battle - but suddenly the pair stopped talking.

Confusingly, these scenes seemed to air after the pair would have slept with each other, so it's not clear what exactly led to them ending their friendship. Amelia had claimed Samson hadn't bothered with her since they slept together, and now it seems they are back to being enemies.

But can they find a way to get along considering Amelia has decided to keep the baby?
