Emmerdale's Charity Dingle is in heaven in Monday's episode (ITV, 7.00pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Charity Dingle's been angling to spend time with Vanessa for weeks now and finally, her ex has relented.

Having agreed to a playdate for their young sons, Moses and Johnny, Vanessa meets up with Charity who's got dressed up to the nines.

Chuffed to be hanging out with her former one-true love, Charity isn't interested in anything else, not even her mobile which is ringing off the hook.

On the other end of the phone is her grown-up son Ryan who's had devastating news: his adoptive mum, Irene, who raised him, has died.

Stepping in to comfort Ryan, Mack offers to drive him to see his brother. Knowing Charity's with Vanessa, Mack's far from impressed that his girlfriend is unreachable
