She ended up collapsed and was rushed to hospital.

The pair reconciled, but were forbidden from seeing each other after stealing alcohol from the shop.<\/p>\n<h2>Losing her virginity to Josh Crowther<\/h2>\n<p>In 2016, Gabby and Liv skipped school to spend time with classmates Josh Crowther and Jamie Halstead. It was then that Gabby slept with Josh. It earned her a slap from Laurel after she discovered that Gabby had done the deed in her and Ashley's marital bed.<\/p>\n<h2>Gabby had the child of Jamie Tate in Emmerdale<\/h2>\n<p>In early 2021, Gabby developed a crush on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/characters\/where-is-jamie-tate-emmerdale-faking-death-violent-attack-why-kim-may-never-reconcile-son\/\">Kim Tate's son, Jamie.<\/a> Following a one-night stand, Gabby fell pregnant with his child. Refusing to have an abortion, Gabby kept the baby. She gave birth to son Thomas (who, thankfully, got the Tate last name), and not her own.<\/p>\n<h2>Nicky Miligan had a plan<\/h2>\n<p>In 2022, a man named Nicky Fox arrived in the village, taking on the job of a live-in nanny at Home Farm. He soon seduced Gabby - which was all part of a grander scheme cooked up by his secret dad, Caleb Miligan.<\/p>\n<p>With Gabby unaware that their relationship was a ploy for Caleb to get his hands on Kim Tate's money (with Thomas being her direct heir), they announced their engagement soon after. However, Nicky was unable to go through with the marriage - revealing to Gabby that he was gay on what should have been their wedding day..<\/p>\n<h2>Gabby married Vinny in Emmerdale<\/h2>\n<p>Gabby then began dating Vinny Dingle. She moved in on her dead friend's husband and, in spite of his nerves and inexperience, they got engaged.<\/p>\n<p>However Vinny started to question his sexuality before the wedding and tried to kiss Kammy. Gabby eventually found everything out when Vinny was extorted by a man he met online. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/news\/emmerdale-fans-slam-rushed-gabby-and-vinny-breakup-ive-got-whiplash\/\">marriage ended soon after<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Read more: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/news\/whos-leaving-emmerdale-2025-complete-guide-departures-returns-new-arrivals\/\"><b>Who\u2019s leaving Emmerdale?
