EMMERDALE’S Ella Forster’s shocking secret has been revealed tonight – and it’s not what anyone expected.
The surgery receptionist – who is played by actress Paula Lane in the ITV soap – has been enshrined in mysteries since she arrived in the village last year.
Fans have become convinced she is linked to serial killer Meena Jutla after a series of odd reactions to the psychopath’s name.
But now it has emerged that at least one of Ella’s secrets doesn’t appear to have anything to do with Meena.
Instead in tonight’s episode it has been revealed that Ella is homeless.
Liam asked Ella if they could spend the night at her place instead of his, owing to it being crowded with Paddy, Bear and Mandy all being there.
But Ella wasn’t a fan.
“Rather than cook something at mine, why don’t we do something at yours?” Liam said.
“I just thought it would be nice to do something different. It’ll be nice to have a change of scenery.”
Ella tried to deflect telling him she had an early start tomorrow so couldn’t, but did ask about dinner the next day.
And later it emerged why.
In scenes at the end of the episode she was seen bedding down in her car in woodland with it being packed to the brim with her belongings.
