Happy Valley fans still have a burning question after nail-biting BBC finale

FANS of Happy Valley have all been left asking the same burning question following the conclusion of the epic series.

During the third series, many fans began to speculate as to why PE teacher Rob Hepworth's daughter Poppy never removed her coat and it prompted all manner of fan theories.

The little girl wore her jacket in every scene, as she’s eating breakfast and dinner and while watching TV. 

Many characters made reference to it on screen, pharmacist Faisal Bhatti’s daughter mentions it as well as Rob himself - who is abusive to his wife, Joanna - when he was seen ordering her to "take off the coat” while they’re in the house.

However, many fans were left hopeful that Sunday night's nail-biting finale may have provided some clear definitive answers as to why the youngster was never seen without it.

Sadly, Poppy was not seen on screen again and no reference to the coat was made during the highly-charged episode leading many fans to cry out online for answers.

Taking to Twitter, fans were calling on the BBC show and writer Sally Wainwright to offer up some answers on the mystery.

One wrote: "So, anyone any idea why Poppy would not take her coat off?"

Another said: "Unanswered questions I need from Happy Valley - Why was Poppy always wearing her coat?"

As a third commented: "I loved it but 1 thing - they actually never cleared up why that kid Poppy never took her coat off in Happy Valley?"

During the tense final episode, Rob Hepworth avoided prison for his wife’s murder - with Catherine solving that crime at her leaving do - but instead was locked up after his collection of sick indecent images was revealed.

Andy Shepherd revealed to Catherine: "We found indecent images on his phone. Turns out he was blackmailing a lad at school to send them to him."

It follows the sinister scene where in episode three, Rob held a lingering stare at Ryan following what was thought to be a heartwarming conversation but not has a completely different meaning.
