Emmerdale viewers have been left worried for Charity Dingle who has suffered a panic attack after finding out about her husband's infidelity.
During tonight's episode, Mackenzie's secret was revealed at last. While some villagers already knew he was Reuben's father following his affair with Chloe Harris, Charity was oblivious until she spotted him in hospital with Chloe and Reuben, causing her to suffer a panic attack.
Charity started to get suspicious after noticing her husband was behaving weirdly over the baby's health news. Not only did he punch Dan Spencer for making a harmless comment, he also started avoiding his home, often staying out late and drinking.

Charity initially suspected Mack was reliving losing their baby last year before thinking he might be seriously ill and wasn't sure how to tell her. Exasperated viewers have been getting quite impatient and were counting down the days until she finally discovered Mack's secret.
As Charity struggles to process what she witnessed, Mack is now determined to find a way to earn her forgiveness. Meanwhile, fans took to Twitter to comment on the plot development.
