Emmerdale - Belle Dingle takes her fake pregnancy scheme a step further as she comes up with a brand new way to fool her older boyfriend Jermaine Bailey.

Belle realises that her lies could have an imminent expiry date, as she dreads having to attend her first pregnancy scan with Bailey.

Misreading the reasons for Belle's anxiety, Charity shows her a scan of Noah to reassure her that Bailey won't be able to tell the baby is small - unaware that Belle isn't really pregnant.

Getting an idea, Belle later interrupts a divorce meeting between Bailey and his estranged wife Angie at the pub, telling him that her scan was unexpectedly brought forward.

Bailey is upset that Belle went without him but is overjoyed when she reveals a picture of the scan, unaware that it's actually Charity's old one of Noah.

It seems Belle is out of trouble again for now, but how long can she really keep this up? The clock is definitely ticking.
