Emmerdale's Chas Dingle has a very difficult conversation in Wednesday's episode (ITV1, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

When Chas Dingle was told she has breast cancer, her first thought was her daughter Eve.

Given that Chas' mum Faith died of the same strain of the disease, Chas was terrified by the thought that she might have to leave Eve, who's only four, without a mother.

Though Chas kept the diagnosis under wraps – only sharing the information with Liam, who discovered the lump in her breast, and Lydia – she's now told the rest of her family. Apart from Eve.

With her ex-husband Paddy's help, Chas sits down with their little girl to explain that Mummy is poorly and is going to be seeing doctors to make her better.
