There are sad times ahead for 'Vanity' fans as Vanessa calls time on her relationship with Charity...

There's heartache heading to Emmerdale next week when Vanessa Woodfield calls time on her relationship with Charity Dingle.

With the truth now out that Charity is the secret face behind Mandy and Vinny Dingle's dodgy casino heists, she has found herself in seriously hot water with girlfriend Vanessa.

Viewers have known for a few weeks that Charity is secretly 'The Little Mermaid' who has been helping Mandy scam thousands of pounds from dangerous casino owner Terry, but the rest of the Dingles had no idea that Mandy's partner in crime was someone so close to home.

But after Vinny reveals the truth about Charity's involvement, it is set to put the final nail in the coffin for Charity and Vanessa's relationship.

When Vanessa gives Charity the chance to come clean about exactly how she was involved in the illegal dealings, she hopes that her other half will come clean.

Noah and Sarah are set to be left upset by the romance breakdown, but Vanessa is adamant that she can't be with someone who isn't one hundred percent honest with her.
