Emmerdale's Mack and Charity have a HUGE confrontation in Friday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

So Charity Dingle has found out that her husband Mack is the dad of Chloe's newborn and she's about to give it to him both barrels.

A huge showdown will see Charity tear Mack apart causing her family to be clued in on what's gone on.

The exact details of her lengthy tirade are being kept under wraps but it's going to be chaotic, messy and a bit funny, so it's been said.

Will Charity find out ALL the details as she takes her terrified husband Mack to task?

Will the fact that it was just a one-night stand – after Charity and Mack had had a terrible row about trying for another baby – soften the blow?

Will Sarah reveal how she had a panic attack and feigned illness to stop guilt-ridden Mack from confessing he'd got Chloe pregnant?
