Emmerdale spoilers follow from Friday's episode (8 August), which is available to watch now on ITVX and YouTube but hasn't yet aired on ITV1.
Emmerdale has added a ticking soap timebomb to Charity Dingle's big storyline – her secret kiss with Vanessa Woodfield will be staying under wraps for now.
The former couple come to an understanding in Friday's episode, deciding to keep Charity's husband Mackenzie Boyd in the dark over how he's been betrayed.
Last night's episode saw Charity make a move on Vanessa, after an argument with Mack over the surrogacy agreement she'd made with her granddaughter Sarah.
As the aftermath plays out in this evening's episode, Vanessa shocks Charity by warning that she won't lie to Mack over what happened between them.
