EI comp: Ice stunt hand / Chas looking worried

Emmerdale cast member Lucy Pargeter has given even more of an insight into the upcoming ice stunt in the lake. But then deleted some of her posts – as fans ‘worked out’ new key detail.

It was teased that there will be a huge ice stunt next month on the show as Emmerdale bosses announced a villager’s life will hang in the balance as a car crashes into an icy lake.

This ties up with the eerie flash-forward we saw at the start of the year – as a hand was banging on ice to get out.

After that clip, fans noticed the hand has a wedding ring, so many began theorising who was involved.

However, now Emmerdale cast member Lucy Pargeter, who plays the iconic Chas Dingle, has seemingly confirmed she is involved in the ice stunt. Along with a few other hidden details.

Taking to her Instagram story last night, Lucy shared a series of images from set, and they appeared to be filming the icy stunt scenes.

In her first photo, she took a selfie, with what appeared to be a limo behind her. And all around the vehicle was snow and ice.

It was captioned “Can’t wait for you all to watch.” along with the music of Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby hit playing.

However, once fans noticed that it was a limo, and not a car like had been announced, Lucy quickly deleted that one snap.

But, that wasn’t the only one she posted. Another picture showed someone laying on the ground wearing a production coat. She wrote: “2am fatigue and cold set in for someone.”

Then the final tease showed a monitor on set during filming of the stunt. And it appeared someone was walking away from the sinking limo…

Fans obviously went wild, as we have been in the dark about the details of the stunt. And now viewers can begin to theorise.

Fans go wild over new details

One wrote on social media: “Lucy is currently leaking all of Emmerdale’s upcoming drama on her Instagram story. What is going on?”

Another added: “Wonder what is going on? Looks like two different vehicles are involved!!”

A third penned: “And that’s me sent back to my theory board now that I see there may be two cars involved in the ice stunt.”

As for who was in the coat lying down on the ground. Two of the main theories so far are Caleb and Jacob.

One fan pointed out: “Could the person in a coat be Caleb? It looks like his sort of shoes.”

Another commented: “Those look like the shoes Jacob wore when he went drinking in the pub. I’m going to be watching every guy’s feet from now on.”

“A limo suggests a party! Hen do gone wrong? Is anyone due to get married?” a viewer asked.

As Lucy deleted the selfie, that leads us to believe she realised just how much she was giving away. And from what she kept up, the ice stunt looks set to be a truly explosive storyline.

There are a number of Emmerdale cast members reportedly set to leave. So could this be their exit? Or is there more than one person injured in the crash?

With this upcoming stunt, and Anthony’s murder next week, Emmerdale is staying on top form.
