Emmerdale's Chas Dingle is feeling all the feels in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Chas Dingle has been through such a lot these past few months. 

Having a double mastectomy is a huge deal and she's still processing her emotions. 

Though she's cancer-free, the evil disease's demons linger on and she's feeling 'less than' and really insecure.

In her bedroom, the troubled mum contemplates trying on the prostheses she's been given.

Will Charity's encouragement help Chas take the next step in her journey? 

Will she decide she doesn't need them or will she find the boobs a comfort?

It's the morning after for Manpreet who tried to plant a kiss on Billy during Ella's boozy girls' night out.

Having spotted the signs of a crush, Ella tried to warn off the GP, who's in a relationship with village vicar Charles, but Manpreet didn't listen and made a move on the married PT.

Putting her spoke in, Ella advises Manpreet not to bother mentioning it to Charles but to give Billy an apology.

The thing is, when Manpreet takes Billy to one side to talk, she doesn't realise Charles is in earshot and has heard every word!
