Another enormous bombshell lands in stressed-out landlady Charity Dingle's lap – but how will she handle it?

Emmerdale's Charity Dingle is given life-changing news in Thursday's episode on ITV from 7pm (see our TV Guide for full listings).

It's been stress central for Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) who, earlier in the week, learned that her fiancée Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) was missing not having fun in France as Charity thought.

As new big news hits Charity in the wake of recent turmoil will she be able to cope with the another shocker?
