ITV star Andi Peters has claimed that he ‘didn’t know’ after he successfully predicted Robert Sugden’s shock Emmerdale return.
Ryan Hawley’s character Robert departed the ITV soap back in 2019 when he was arrested and sentenced to prison for the d.e.a.t.h of Lee Posner, five years after he joined the show.
Following years of fans demanding a reunion between Robert and his former husband Aaron Dingle, Robert stopped the latter’s wedding to John Sugden.
In scenes that aired on Thursday (May 29), Robert declared his love to Aaron, giving hope to fans who lovingly dub them ‘Robron’.
With John previously accidentally k.i.l.l.i.n.g Nate Robinson and hiding his body in the lake, it remains to be seen if things will turn violent within the love triangle.
Despite thousands of viewers not guessing that Robert was coming back, Lorraine host Andi accurately predicted exactly what would happen.
Speaking on Monday (May 26), he said: “I want Rob to come back. That for me would the doors come open, Rob comes back on. Nobody hears me but that would be a great thing to happen.”

After having a clip played of the moment, Andi cheekily branded himself ‘Mystic Meg’ and clarified that he had no idea he was right.
He explained: “The thing is I’m such an Emmerdale fan it’s ridiculous. Genuinely, I didn’t know Rob was going to come back. I was watching and I gasped. I went ‘he’s back, he’s come through the door’.
“I’m a clairvoyant. I have the lottery numbers if anyone wants them. Do you remember Mystic Meg, that’s me. I have the numbers.
“Emmerdale is a great show, they’re all brilliant. Danny Miller is awesome, I think he should get an award.”
During Thursday’s edition of the ITV talk show, Ryan discussed with Lorraine Kelly about how he managed to keep everything a secret.
“A lot of work has gone into it. All the scripts and the amount of people involved in it. We had our driver Howard bring me into a secret entrance to avoid all of the fans at the gates.
“I’d turn up on set and people didn’t even know it was me who was back… I was Marco in the script,” he said.
