The latest Silent Witness investigation took the crew to Brighton last night, where dismembered body parts covered in elaborate tattoos were discovered at a dump.
But, while the case was engaging for the team at the Lyell, viewers were FAR more interested in their private lives.
Last night’s episode had fans speculating that Dr Nikki Alexander is pregnant, as she was seen examining a test.

She is currently in a long-distance relationship with US politician Matt, and in tonight’s episode he is set to fly over to visit her, but what news will she have for him?
Many viewers are hoping that the pregnancy is a false alarm and, while they would like to see Nikki settle down and have a family, they want her to do it with someone else.
Her colleague Jack!

The pair share an incredible bond, and have been through thick and thin together, including Jack believing he’d lost Nikki after she was buried alive two series ago.
And it seems pretty obvious the handsome Irishman is in love with her – even if maybe he hasn’t quite realised it yet…
Me watching tonight’s episode of #SilentWitness!!! Jack and Nikki are so supportive of each other. I just want to cry. Just want to see the next episode now #JackandNikki @EmiliaFox @BBCOne ❤️😘 xxx pic.twitter.com/6kjgeyX0Oa

#SilentWitness I actually refuse to believe that Jack isn’t in love with Nikki

Okay… Jack is defiantly in love with Nikki, he just doesn’t want to say anything because Matt is on the screen. #SilentWitness

As much as I like Matt I wouldn’t mind seeing him out of the picture so Jack can raise the baby with Nikki 😂 #SilentWitness

Hope Nikki isn’t pregnant but she’s realised she wants kid and her and Jack will finally get together #SilentWitness

These scenes with Jack and Nikki are my favourite in this episode. Jack appears so strong but we see a different side to him. He’s trying to be a supportive friend, but I can’t help thinking he’s hiding something. #SilentWitness

Will the path to true love find its way to them? Or is her future with Matt in America? We’ll find out the latter tonight!
