ITV Emmerdale fans in stitches over Faith Dingle's 'final wish'

Fans of Emmerdale were in stitches over Faith Dingle making a final wish in tonight's episode.

The character, played by Sally Dexter, is currently receiving palliative care after being told that she had a terminal cancer diagnosis. Tonight, a nurse visited her to put a plan together for her and her family to make sure the end would be as "happy and comfortable as possible."

While talking about handling her final days of life, Faith revealed there was one thing that she had in mind. She said: "Do you do that Make A Wish? You know what they do for the kids? Because I wouldn't say no to 20 minutes alone with David Beckham." Chas said: "Mum!"

Faith said: "Alright then, fifteen. Who cares if enjoys himself." Chas wasn't happy as she snapped and said: "Can you take this seriously please? It's important and all you've done is prat around." The mum said she understood but asked Chas to leave for a bit.

While Chas didn't seem to find it funny, fans thought it was hysterical. Taking to Twitter, Grianne said: "YES Faith, totally gonna love her as always lol."

Teena said: "Faith wanting 20 minutes alone with David Beckham… #Emmerdale" followed by crying laughing emojis. Meanwhile, Elizabeth said: "#Emmerdale Oh Chas shut up and let Faith deal with it in her own way! If humour helps her then leave her be."

In later scenes, Faith was heartbroken and in tears as she explained to the nurse she was actually terrified. She praised Chas and Cain for the support that they have offered her.

She explained she didn't want her children to see how tired she was. She said: "I keep putting on this pretence that I'm living every day as if it's my last.

"But every pain, every ache, every test, every flaming pointless pigging appointment... sorry no offence. It just reminds me that my last day is barrelling towards me and there is nothing I can do about it."
