Emmerdale fans fume as Charity 'stockpiles' disinfectant and soap

Emmerdale fans were not best pleased this evening after spotting Charity Dingle "stockpiling" on disinfectant and soap.

Though, we have to point out that these scenes were filmed before the coronavirus pandemic and the new guidelines set by the government.

The pub landlady, played by Emma Atkins, was feeling very protective of partner Vanessa Woodfield following her cancer diagnosis.

As Rhona arrived to give Vanessa some flowers Charity declined them by saying that there was a reason they were banned in hospitals.

Vanessa's sister Tracy cut in and revealed that Charity had been up since 6am disinfecting the house for Vanessa.

Rhona noticed the numerous bottles of hand sanitiser, soap and disinfectant spray.

The vet exclaimed: "That is a lot of hand sanitiser!"

And viewers were inclined to agree and took to Twitter to comment.

One tweeted: "Charity been watching all the COVID19 News #Emmerdale."

While another commented: "Charity has been panic buying #emmerdale."

A third remarked: "#Emmerdale Charity doing her bit to stop the virus."

"The cheek of all that hand sanitizer #Emmerdale," another wrote.

One commented: "Guess we all know why we're out of hand sanitiser then bad Charity! #Emmerdale."

Another wrote: "So THAT'S where the hand sanitizer went! #Emmerdale."

"Now we know where all the hand sanitizer went.. Charity the stockpiler. #Emmerdale," a viewer wrote.
