AN Emmerdale star has dropped another hint that his character was secretly killed off from the soap amid mounting speculation his body has been discovered this week.
Fans of the ITV soap opera were left open-mouthed earlier this week when it was confirmed there was another body left in the bottom of the icy lake after the horrifying limo smash.
During one shocking scene, viewers saw Amy Wyatt plunge through the ice as she attempted to move from the limo to safety.
Her body shot down into the icy waters as the lake above began to re-solidify meaning she was trapped.
In a spine-chilling moment, as Amy turned in the water she clapped eyes on a dead body below the water.
The arm of the body was wearing a bracelet identical to that of Nate Robinson’s that was made for him by daughter Frankie.
Later in the episode, having been rescued by Tracy, Amy could be seen staring at Tracy’s matching bracelet but unable to speak from the cold, she was left trapped with her thoughts.
With speculation mounting that Nate has been secretly murdered and his body plunged into the lake, the star who played him, Jurell Carter, has now added even more fuel to the fire.
In the wake of the episodes, Jurell took to Instagram to share a shirtless snap and accompanied it with a very cryptic quote.
The actor made reference to his “weird job” before adding the Italian pinched hands emoji after all eyes were on his character’s arm and bracelet.
Jurell’s caption read: “A weird job but I wouldn’t have it any other way [pinched hands emoji].”
Nate hasn’t been seen in the Dales since September last year, with his sudden and swift exit never quite sitting right with fans.

Since leaving the village, supposedly for Shetland, he has had little to no contact with his loved ones, only sending text messages.
He was last seen speaking to John Sugden, after being falsely accused of sleeping with Cain Dingle’s wife, Moira.
With the true fallout from the limo smash set to be uncovered later this week – only time will tell if the body really is Nate and questions are sure to be raised about just how his body ended up there.
So far, two deaths have been confirmed: Suzy died almost instantly, as well as another victim of the limo crash en route to hospital.
Soaps are no stranger to dramatic stunts in the storylines. Not only do these moments create a spectacle for viewers, they also fundamentally change characters’ lives.
Here is a look at some of the biggest soap stunts from over the years.
