With the secret romance between Caleb and Tracy in full swing, Caleb's son Nicky is the one who stumbles across what's going on between them. It's not lost on him that Tracy is cheating on her partner Nate with Caleb – who happens to be Nate's uncle.

Nicky tells them off for taking risks, and this results in Tracy becoming panicked that the younger Milligan knows.

Caleb tries to reassure her that his son will keep their secret – but can he be sure of this? And who else will find out about the affair as the Christmas period continues?

The pair were recently nearly caught out by Nicky on another occasion, after he returned home from hospital where he was looking after his boyfriend, Suni.

The affair storyline began in October, with show bosses teasing a festive fallout to end the plot.

"We've started Tracy and Caleb's dangerous affair. We'll see a bit more of that in the run-up to Christmas. What we'll see is the most awkward Christmas dinner ever, where those lot are all sat round the table at the Dingles' together," producer Laura Shaw told Digital Spy.

"Somebody on Christmas Day is going to find out their dark secret and threaten to blow that."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
