Emmerdale: Cain Dingle's real age confirmed after Aaron Dingle drops bombshell

Emmerdale's Cain Dingle was mocked by his nephew Aaron Dingle in the latest episode of the ITV soap, after a major blunder.

He recently got his ex-wife Moira Dingle's age wrong in a birthday card.

Cain hadn't even realised his mistake, until Moira was left upset over the number on the card.

She turned 48 years of age earlier this year, but Cain wrongly believed she was 50 - and she took offence.

During Wednesday's lockdown special, Aaron made things worse when he called him out over the blunder, given he and Moira were together for so long.

Not only that, but he confessed he actually knew Moira's correct age.

Getting defensive, Cain asked his nephew to tell him his own age.

It's then that Aaron said that Cain was 52, leaving viewers stunned.

But it soon became clear Aaron was joking, when Cain got defensive and declared this was not the case.

While the soap did not go on to reveal his actual age, Cain's birthday is November 30 1974.

This makes him 45 years old, and he will turn 46 later this year.

Fans watching still couldn't believe Cain did not know Moira's age, and took to Twitter to mock the scenes.

One fan said: " #Emmerdale With how long Cain spent with Moira, how can he not know her age ??? Lol."

Another tweeted: "hahaha Cain ffs not knowing Moira's age is just not on fella."

Emmerdale airs Mondays and Wednesdays at 7pm on ITV.
