Emmerdale viewers may recognise actor Matt Sutton from a role he previously played in the ITV soap a number of years ago.
Matt, who plays Amelia Spencer's stalker, Lloyd, on the soap has sparked endless chaos since he arrived to the Yorkshire Dales - but the actor who plays Lloyd also played a member of the Dingle family.
After Amelia started to make a name for herself on social media after becoming an influencing, she soon started to gain unwanted attention from one follower in particular - who turned out to be none other than Lloyd.
Having shared so much of her personal life on social media, it didn't take long for her stalker to find her whereabouts - with the pair ultimately meeting face-to-face for the first time last week.

Matt previously appeared on the long-running soap when he played a younger version of iconic character Shadrach Dingle.
Shadrach, who was played by Andy Devine was Zak Dingle's older brother and father of Chas Dingle and Gennie Walker.
Back in 2010, Shadrach passed away after falling into a river amid his long battle with alcoholism and seven years after the character's tragic death, Shadrach reappeared in a memorable flashback sequence between his ex-wife Faith and stepson Cain.
The scene took place in the 1980s and Shadrach was portrayed by actor Matt Sutton.
Matt also played the role of PC Nicholas Palmer on the soap in January 2008.
He has also appeared on BBC's Doctors playing the role of Charlie Cash in an episode which aired in 2014.
