The secret is out of the bag after Emmerdale finally revealed the identity of Mackenzie's mystery lover in Wednesday night's episode after weeks of speculation. It comes after in scenes aired last month, Mack (played by Lawrence Robb) had a one-night stand and cheated on his girlfriend Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
Ever since fans have been sharing their theories as to who it could be with only two details giving the person's identity away - they were from the village and a brief shot of their hand in the hotel scene. It all came to head this week though, as Nate (Jurell Carter) accidently let slip of Mack's one-night stand in the company of Charity's son Ryan (James Moore).
Despite Ryan insisting Charity needed to know the truth, Mack threatened him in Tuesday evening's instalment and said he would deny any accusations. But the drama continued in last night's episode, when Mack received yet another phone call from his secret lover and decided to meet his one-night stand to put an end to the contact, The Mirror reports.
As he stood on the outskirts of the village waiting, Chloe (played by Jessie Elland) appeared and was revealed as Mack’s mystery woman. He quickly laid into her and said: “You and me, we don't exist. You were a massive drunken mistake.”
But Chloe was trying to tell him something and she started to tear up, his response: “Grow up, Chloe. Leave me alone, I don't want anything to do with you,” before walking off.
Later on in the episode, Chloe shared with Kerry (Laura Norton) that she had spent the night with Mack and was quickly told to forget him. But there was one more twist to come, and after Kerry had left, Chloe opened her bag and pulled out a positive pregnancy test.
Fans were quick to take to Twitter after the secret had been revealed with some saying it was "predictable". Others added that the twist of Chloe being pregnant had made the storyline more "interesting".
Ryan Glendenning posted: "Just found out Mack's mystery woman so I was right all along it was Chloe and she's pregnant. Well that was a bit predictable at least he didn't get Amelia pregnant I suppose. #Emmerdale."
Tamica said: "Why am I not shocked Mack slept with Chloe. #Emmerdale" and Danielle added: "That was so predictable tonight. A lot of people have been saying it was Chloe that Mack slept with and that she’d end up pregnant… #Emmerdale."
Amy tweeted: "Bit gutted Mack's secret affair was with Chloe, seemed too predictable. Was really hoping it'd be Aaron. Should have known she'd be pregnant too. #Emmerdale." Darryl said: "I said Chloe all along! Mackenzie & Chloe! KNEW IT! #Emmerdale."
@thesoaplife posted: "Thought Chloe being Mack's one night stand was a boring reveal, until I realised when he was being a d*** and wouldn't let her get a word in that she's obviously preggers (and then we get it confirmed at the end) and it makes the whole story a lot more interesting #Emmerdale."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub. An hour long episode to celebrate 50 years of the soap will air on Sunday, October 16.
