Over the past weeks, fans have begun to wonder if Manpreet's current relationship with vicar Charles Anderson will stand the test of time after she rejected his marriage proposal.
Their relationship has also faced scrutiny from Charles' mother Claudette who has been critical at the couple being unmarried after suggesting they are living in sin.
Although Manpreet insisted she just did not want to ruin a good thing and that she was still committed to Charles and their union, fans have begun to think otherwise.
Instead, they think the GP has formed a crush on a much younger Dales hunk who just so happens to be a married man.
