Viewers were seriously impressed by BBC's new show The Nest, which aired on Sunday night. The series follows a wealthy couple who are desperate for a child, and turn to a teenage girl who has grown up in a care home to act as their surrogate. While praising the first episode, fans of the show also took to social media with theories for what they think will happen in the show - and they might be right!
Dan, Emily and Kaya in The Nest
One fan suggested that Kaya, the teenage acting as a surrogate for the couple, is actually Dan's own daughter, tweeting: "I'm calling it now half an hour in, she was in care and I think she's his [daughter] and he had a secret child. Then she'll end up giving birth to her brother or sister." Another added: "I was actually thinking that Kaya was Dan's daughter and trying to get close to him." A third person agreed, tweeting: "Yes why would she want to do this if not for the money?? Has to be a twist!"

Totally hooked it's gripping drama just what we needed to take our mind off everything." Another added: "I was totally immersed in #TheNest. The best of British drama.
