Emmerdale's Amelia stunned as doctors reveal the real reason for her health issues

Amelia Spencer was dealt some shock news on Emmerdale tonight - as the cause of her health issues was revealed.

The teenager - played by Daisy Campbell - has been struggling with her health recently, going dizzy all of a sudden, which it is likely she has assumed is due to her taking a weight gain syrup as she tries to improve her body image.

She has been taking a syrup which she hopes will give her a figure like the people she was following on social media, and thus give her more followers online - as she described herself as "ugly" and "not beautiful".

Amelia revealed to her dad she was taking a syrup when they all rumbled she was responsible for dropping Thomas after she collapsed herself, and was forced to come clean to everyone when he was rushed to hospital.

But she was also dealt some shock news of her own, as the doctor examined her after her complaints of dizziness and other symptoms, which she assumed must have been down to the secret weight gain syrup she had been drinking.

"Have we still not found your father?" the doctor asked, as a frustrated Amelia asked why he needed to be involved. She didn't see the point him being there if she was just being told off for using the syrup to help her gain weight.

She urged: "Just tell me now, is it bad news? Have I made myself ill?"

The doctor then went on to explain that the initial blood tests all looked OK but she was "extremely lucky", as he said the syrup was "dangerous" and "could have caused a lot more harm". She promised to not use it again but the doctor still had more news for her.

"I didn't know any of this before," Amelia replied, "So obviously I'll stop taking it now. But I'm fine?"

The doctor didn't say anything first, and looked at her strangely, as she questioned them on "why they were looking at her that way".

She had been telling them of her symptoms including dizziness, but she was adamant it would go now she's stopped taking the syrup. However, they still pushed to get her dad to come and join her at the hospital.

Confused, she pressed them on what was wrong and they revealed to her something came up in her urine test - and she was completely floored by the news they gave her - she was pregnant.

"There was something flagged on your urine test, Amelia," the doctor said, "Are you aware that you're pregnant?"

*Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV with an hour long episode on Thursdays.
