EMMERDALE fans are certain they’ve cracked the mystery of who’s trapped under the ice after the explosive flash-forward scenes.

The ITV soap pulled out all the stops for a dramatic stunt which saw a limo full of beloved characters crash onto an icy lake on Friday.

Nine Emmerdale favourites were left fighting for their lives – but is there more?

This happened after two groups from the village headed out in limos for separate boys and girls nights out for Valentine’s Day.

However with Dr Liam Cavanagh planning to propose to girlfriend Chas Dingle, he swapped places with Mandy Dingle and climbed into the girls’ limo.

“I know we haven’t known each other very long and we’re different,” he said to an oblivious Chas.

“Very different. Polar opposites in fact… But you are the yin to my yang, the ping to my pong.

“Will you shut me up and make me the happiest man alive? Marry me?”

But before anyone could answer Charity gasped and the limo veered off the road.

Meanwhile at the same time in the boys’ limo, Caleb Miligan decided speeding through dark country lanes was the perfect time to confront his brother Cain about sleeping with his wife.

Furious Caleb sped the car up as the others begged him to stop.

But as Cain insisted he would explain everything, they appeared to crash too.

However it has already been revealed that the girls’ limo hits the icy lake.

And with the car teetering on the ice and beginning to sink, nine favourites face the fight of their lives to survive.

But not all will make it out alive.

A flash forward last month revealed at least one person will die – with them desperately banging from beneath the icy lake.

But who will it be?

Charity Dingle, Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh are in the sinking limo alongside Leyla Harding, Amy Barton and Kerry Wyatt.

Tracy Robinson, Vanessa Woodfield and Suzy Merton are all there too.

A dramatic flash-forward scene showed a chilling moment where a hand was seen beneath the frozen surface, leaving them trapped and viewers in shock.

Now, soap sleuths are convinced they know exactly who it belongs to – but have they got it right?

Some Emmerdale viewers speculate that Ruby Milligan’s father, Anthony might still be alive and that the hand belongs to him.

In a shocking twist, it seems the past is about to resurface – quite literally.

As the ice begins to crack in upcoming Emmerdale scenes, could Anthony’s body finally be discovered, exposing Ruby and John’s dark secret?

And if so, what does this mean for Aaron, who still believes he’s the one responsible?

Did John’s secret burial spot just come back to haunt him?

Taking to a fan Facebook page, one wrote: “Just a thought but I’m not convinced Anthony is dead, like I say just a thought.”

Another added: “There’s a rumour I read from Emmerdale that Anthony has got a twin brother, and Ruby is in a bad way when she finds out.”

A third penned: “Might be Anthony that Charity hit if he wasn’t dead when John buried him? Read his body needs id’ing next week.”

A fourth said: “Could the person’s hand in the ice be Ruby’s father that was dumped by John thinking the body was at the bottom, but the crashed car has disputed the body?”
