Emmerdale romance ahead for Nicky Milligan as he catches the eye of new arrival

Emmerdale’s Nicky Milligan (played by Lewis Cope) could have found himself a new love interest in the ITV soap. Official spoilers reveal a newcomer is set to arrive in upcoming scenes, who sets his sights on Nicky. As a mysterious figure is lurking around Holgate, it’s not long before Rishi (Bhasker Patel) spots his nephew Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana). With Jai’s (Chris Bisson) wedding to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) imminent, it looks as though his cousin has decided to come early for the celebrations. Although as the newcomer spots Nicky, it becomes clear he’s caught his attention.

He said: ‘I’m delighted to join the Emmerdale family. Having watched the show with my mum and dad growing up it feels surreal. ‘I’m so grateful to everyone here for making me feel so welcome. ‘Confident, magnetic and very fashion-conscious Suni looks forward to injecting some flair into the Emmerdale village.’ Could there be a new romance in the village?

He added: ‘He’s not afraid to be his true self and go after what (and who) he wants. ‘I think what Emmerdale does brilliantly is making sure there’s an accurate representation of real people and telling their authentic stories. ‘Bringing a wonderful character like Suni to life on a continuing drama is incredibly important to me as it gives exposure to a demographic which is sadly still under-represented so I truly hope to do him justice, and thank Emmerdale and its fans for the privilege.’ Nicky has been left heartbroken since calling it a day with Ally (Image: ITV) Suni’s arrival would be a welcome distraction for Nicky, who was involved in his dad Caleb’s (Will Ash) scheme to take down Kim Tate (Claire King). Part of that included fooling Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) as he was tasked to make her fall in love with him, which he successfully did. However, on the day of their wedding, he came clean as the lies became too much and he revealed his true sexuality. Could Suni be the next person to fall for Nicky? Emmerdale continues weeknights on ITV from 9pm
