Emmerdale fans 'do double take' as 'wrong' character appears

Emmerdale fans were left confused during Wednesday's episode as they thought they'd seen someone they hadn't.

Gabby began dating a new man this week, after stumbling upon an attractive stranger named Chris while online dating. After an amazing first date, or so she thought, she reached out to him for a second meeting.

Her stepmum Laurel has also recently engaged in a romantic fling with Kit the physio - and it was recently revealed to viewers that they are, in fact, the same man.

Fans at home have voiced their disgust over the "love triangle", and the latest instalment of the long-running ITV soap saw Kit shopping for ingredients ahead of cooking for Gabby - just as Laurel entered the shop.

Amy suggested he was preparing a romantic date for Laurel, and Kit decided to go along with it, texting Gabby to apologise for "running late".

During the episode, Kit wore a striped shirt - and Matty Dingle has one that looks very similar. Between the clothes and their dark, short hair, many viewers were confused and thought Matty was wining and dining Laurel.

Taking to Twitter, Doreen Morfitt said: "Why did I mistake Kit for Matty then?". Cherry Jackson replied: "I did too…it’s the t shirt".

Kath said: "Thought that was Matty then! Like this episode isn't confusing enough". Shaun said: "Thought that was Matty then! Just to further complicate things".
