Emmerdale viewers have made a grim prediction for Charity Dingle after she found out about her husband's baby secret.
During tonight's episode, Charity finally learned the truth which Mack had been trying to hide for months. Instead of coming clean following his affair with Chloe Harris, Mack lied and proposed marriage to Charity after finding out he was going to be a dad.
Fans have been waiting impatiently for Charity to finally learn the truth and during tonight's episode, she did. Charity, who was planning on paying Chloe and her sick baby son Reuben a visit in hospital, spotted her husband with the two on the baby ward.

She then overheard a conversation between them in which Mack made reference to the fact that he was Reuben's father. A shocked and devastated Charity can then be seen suffering a panic attack.
She later confronted Mack about his hospital visit and made him admit to the affair. Instead of deigning him with a response, she walked off in silence.
Viewers are now concerned Charity, who previously struggled with alcoholism, will relapse. Taking to Twitter, they shared their theories.
@TVMusings22 said: "Charity back to drinking oh here we go." They later added: "Omg I have a slight glimpse of Charity! Is the real Charity Dingle finally standing up after 2 years!!!"
@ShakyWoon wondered: "Charity going to drown her sorrows?"
@terrettcorey commented: "So glad Charity finally knows. This is going to be interesting..."
And @memesEmmerdale asked: "Hang on a minute are we finally seeing the real Charity Dingle we have been waiting too see for 2 years!"
Meanwhile, some viewers were distracted by the fact that Charity was seemingly able to overhear Mack's and Chloe's conversation through a window and closed door.
@Chris1968E wrote: "So even with the doors closed & Mack talking very softly he apparently was talking loud enough for Charity to hear him. No bloody chance."
And @SupremeD14 tweeted: "Hold up! So Charity could hear all Mack was saying through a closed window and door?"
