Tomorrow’s hour-long Emmerdale special sees a huge shock confession when Charity Dingle reveals a dark secret from her past to girlfriend Vanessa Woodfield.

This secret, which she hasn’t told to a single soul, is set to change the dynamics of the couple’s relationship for good.

But Michelle Hardwick who plays Vanessa has told Metro.co.uk that instead of pushing her away, it will leave her character more in love with her girlfriend than ever before.

While the precise details of what Charity has been hiding all these years are being kept under wraps until it’s played out on screen, there have been hints that the bombshell is connected to abuse that she suffered back when she was just 14-years-old.

Emma Atkins who plays Charity has hinted to Metro.co.uk that this big secret has shaped her character into the woman that she is today – as well as the whole thing somehow being linked to DS Bails, an enemy from Charity’s past who was last seen on screen in 2015.

But now that she knows what has happened to Charity, Vanessa’s left torn over what to do with the news. Should she tell someone? Or keep everything hidden like Charity did?

“That’s the next step and her burden is what is the right thing to do? Will she then do something that could jeopardise the relationship?”

Could Charity’s attempts to let Vanessa in ultimately end up pushing her further away than ever?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
