Emmerdale fans have called for a DNA test to prove whether Samson Dingle is actually Amelia Spencer's baby daddy.
Before the birth of their daughter Esther, speculation was rife who the baby's father could be. Some viewers thought it was Noah, while others were convinced it was Heath Hope, who is rarely seen on screen.
However, it was eventually revealed it was Samson, leaving both the audience as well as the teen unhappy. Since then, he has tried to talk Amelia into giving Esther up for adoption and even called social services on her, hoping they would take the tot away.

Despite the family tree looking pretty set in stone, Emmerdale fans said they would not believe it until they saw the DNA test results. Amid questions about paternity, viewers have praised the "realistic" and "enjoyable" storyline which sees Samson struggling to come to terms with fatherhood.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "I still can’t believe that they haven’t done a dna test." They added: "It’s like with Nick and little Sam in Corrie he just took Natasha’s word for it he was the dad."
Roberto mused: "That Samson is horrid towards Amelia and Esther why has he become selfish for? I think they need a DNA test because trust me, I still think it's not his.
"Can't believe he phoned social services. God he's just vile, Noah would be a better father."
Sulagna praised: "The Samson story is actually an interesting and an important one. And it is being done well."
Carole agreed: "Actually enjoying the Samson storyline. It's reflecting true life and not everyone does the right thing."
St Mick tweeted: "I can actually understand where Samson’s coming from but his manner stinks.."
O commented below: "Yep, it’d be easier for the writers to have people understand where Samson is coming from if they weren’t doing in a way that makes him vile."
And Perrie Eloise said: "Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but as much as Samson should have known better and should have used precautions. He’s said from the start that he’s not ready to be a dad, even while she was pregnant but no one listened to him. Probably makes me a bad person thinking that."
