Emmerdale fans were sickened last night as it was revealed paedophile teacher Maya Stepney is out of jail and PREGNANT.
Viewers were horrified by the baby bombshell but what they really want to know is who is the daddy of the HUGE baby bump in the ITV soap? Heres everything we know so far about the father…
Emmerdale villain Maya Stepney has been relased from prison five months early
Who is the father of Mayas baby in Emmerdale?
Viewers were left stunned last night as the paedo was shown by the prison gates just before the episode came to a close.
The camera then panned over her huge pregnant belly before she slunk off into the shadows.
Maya first slept with Jacob on his birthday back in March in what the twisted teacher called a birthday present to her teenage stepson.
The teacher then became more brazen as she slept with Jacob again – but this time with David asleep in the next room.
And only a few days later, Jacob arrived home with Liv only to hear David and Maya having sex upstairs.
Emmerdale fans know that Maya was sleeping with her boyfriend and his son pretty much at the same time – both could potentially be the father and it’s likely she has no idea which one is the daddy.
Fans took to Twitter to express their shock at the baby mystery.
One fan said: Mayas pregnant!! Wonder if Jacob or David is the father? #emmerdale.
Another added: It’s obvious that Jacob is the dad.

Why was Maya released from prison early in Emmerdale?
Maya caused quite the scandal on the ITV soap when she groomed and abused the teen for almost a year.
However, it looked like Mayas game was finally up when she was whisked away by the police after David discovered her dirty secret and reported her.
The twisted teacher was sentenced to a year behind bars after denying that shed slept with Jacob in court.
She was sent down instead for betraying her position at school and exchanging naughty texts with the teenager.
However, the teacher was released after only five months – and in another shock twist came out of prison with child.

Is Maya coming back to Emmerdale?
Its not yet known if Maya will actually return to the village after viewers saw her at the prison gates with her pregnancy bump.
Emmerdale viewers will know the twisted teacher has a hard time staying out of trouble.
And now that shes pregnant it seems inevitable that her shadow will loom over the village in coming weeks.
But if it does turn out that she is carrying Jacobs baby then shell have to stay well away from the village to avoid doing a much longer stint in jail – as the baby will prove she slept with the vulnerable teenager.
Fans are desperate to know if Maya will actually be making a return to the village given this potential evidence that she slept with Jacob.
One fan tweeted: “Maya’s NOT actually coming back to the village though right? Especially given she’d immediately end up back inside if she went anywhere near Jacob or his home ever again #Emmerdale.”
Another fan said: “Maya is being released?! So soon? Is she going to return to #Emmerdale at some point?”
Judging by her actions on last nights episode, in which she deleted Jacobs number after receiving a lovesick voicemail from him, it looks like she doesn’t want anything to do with her former pupil.
But how long will the paedo be able to resist before she gets her claws back into her stepson?
Emmerdale fans will have to tune in to the soap to find out if the villain returns to the village or makes a sensible dash for the hills…
