Emmerdale spoilers: What bombshell is Charity keeping from her family?

Mack, Charity, Jacob and Sarah hearing news from the doctor.

Emmerdale's Charity is hiding something huge in Thursday’s episode (ITV1, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Life hasn’t been kind to Sarah Sugden. She’s living with a life-limiting disease, and although she had successful cancer surgery, her chances of carrying her own child were dashed after she underwent an emergency hysterectomy.

So, when her gran offered to be a surrogate – using Sarah’s previously harvested eggs which were fertilised with Jacob’s sperm – Sarah couldn’t have been happier.

But their joy soon turned to sadness because of Charity’s bleed after suffering a fall.

However, with Mack now changing his mind about the whole process, when Cain offers to secretly fund another embryo transfer, the mission to make Sarah a mum is back on.

At the clinic, Charity is asked to do a pregnancy test – standard procedure - and no one is more surprised than her when the result is positive. Happy Sarah can’t wait to announce the news in the pub, but Charity isn’t in the mood to celebrate. What could she possibly be hiding?
