When Charity finds Mack sharing a moment with Reuben, the pieces instantly fall into place, and she realises that Mack is Reuben's dad. Will this be the end of their marriage?
Emmerdale's executive producer Jane Hudson teased the big reveal, speaking to Digital Spy and other media at a recent Emmerdale press event. She commented: "The big choice for Mack is going to be: does he want to be a dad and does he want to be a husband? Can he be both, or can he not be both? How is Charity going to respond? We know she is fiery.
"And can Chloe remain in the village when this secret comes out? Because it's not going to be nice when you've got the wrath of the Dingles."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
