ITV Emmerdale fans predict new role for Meena's prison guard Ian

Emmerdale viewers think Meena's guard Ian could be an undercover police officer or a surprise witness.

As Meena's murder trial continues, Emmerdale viewers think another big twist might not be far off. Fans believe something more important may be going on and has been right under Meena's nose the entire time.

Tonight, Meena took to the stand to defend herself, stating she killed Leanna in self-defence. As Leyla and Liam look on in the stands, it's starting to look like she'll get away with it, but fans are not so sure.

As she continues to flirt with guard Ian when back in her cell, Meena is using his affection against him. Due to this, she has had access to several usually banned items along with having multiple conversations with the guard.

Whilst some viewers have been questioning what Ian sees in Meena, others have pointed out he may have an ulterior motive for his behaviour. Fans believe Ian is undercover in some form and will use Meena's behaviour against her in the courtroom.

One fan said: "#Emmerdale I think the prison guard is going to be the surprise witness for the prosecution, at the last minute when it looks as though Meena is going to get off". Another said: "Ian the guard has a part to play in this I'm sure".

Another added: "I’m sorry but I’m not believing this guard Ian is as gullible as he’s coming across. Here’s my theory Ian could be a brother of Meena's first victim her best friend or a brother of Ben maybe and he might kill Meena or something. Just a guess @Sharontweet #Emmerdale".

Fans have also speculated Andrea may not be dead and Leyla is in touch with her. There is reason to believe Leyla is waiting for just the right moment to bring her in as a surprise witness, similar to theories with guard Ian.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
