Emmerdale's Manpreet, Billy split pic

Someone mysterious is messaging Manpreet in Emmerdale and she’s acting really guarded over it – here are all the theories.

She’s clearly keeping something a secret… but, it’s unclear who exactly is behind the messages.

We’ve compiled a list of all the possible theories.

1. Billy romance

Last year, fans may remember the rather cringe moment where Manpreet was super smitten with Billy.

This unrequited love led her to fancy the pants off of him during her PT sessions, soon making a pass at him when her relationship with Charles was in choppy waters.

At the time, Billy remained loyal to Dawn and even told her about Manpreet’s pass at him. But, now, Billy and Dawn aren’t as close as they used to be…

It’s possible that Manpreet and Billy are now having a secret affair and that Manpreet finally got her guy.

One fan shared: “It’s big Billy, she’s been getting it on with him at Boxercise.”

Is Billy messaging her? Or does someone know about their romance and is targeting her?

2. Bob fling

Another theory is that Bob is the mystery texter. Bob recently broke up with Wendy after finding out about her betrayal of Ella, before sharing a kiss with Brenda.

But, now, could Manpreet have supported her friend so much that a romance has formed between the pair?

It is possible… but would a romance with Bob be something to be so guarded about?

Emmerdale Manpreet theories: 3. John killer threat

Manpreet recently reported Cain for carrying out late night work at the garage, unaware that John and Aaron were actually inside, stripping down Anthony’s car.

With Manpreet taking it upon herself to be on ‘neighbourhood watch patrol,’ the Anthony murder club could be worried.

And, with John being a mysterious guy and deeply involved with covering up Anthony’s murder, could he be blackmailing Manpreet to keep quiet?

4. Meena return

One theory that always spring to mind whenever Manpreet does anything ever for fans is Meena Jutla.

Fans are constantly hoping for a Meena return despite her being sentenced to 75 years in prison, with one theory suggesting that she could be contacting her sister on the phone.

One fan suggested: “Could be Meena her sister who’s in prison.” We’d love it to be the case!

5. Online dating profile

It’s possible that Manpreet is trying to move on after Charles and has set herself up on an online dating website.

She could be slightly embarrassed by the situation or perhaps has matched with someone she knows…

One person on Reddit wondered: “I’m sure I saw a spoiler that suggests she’s set up an online dating profile. She’s a professional woman so that could be something she wouldn’t want people to know about.”

6. Joe Tate’s schemes

Joe Tate is very clearly keeping some major secrets and fans reckon he’s in desperate need of a transplant to save his life.

Now one fan theory has linked Joe’s storyline with Manpreet’s mystery messages and reckon Joe’s after the help of the local doctor to give him what he needs.

The theory suggests: “Oooh could it be something Joe is involved with… his mystery medical issue and/or the meds he’s been taking and/or the mystery medical bloke?” Could this be the case?
