Emmerdale airs Charity Dingle pregnancy twist in ITVX release

With Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) unable to carry a baby herself, she was elated when her grandmother Charity offered to do the honours.

But when Charity took a fall and later discovered she was bleeding, she was forced to tell Sarah and her fiancé Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) that the procedure hadn't worked.

After Charity's husband Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) gave his blessing for them to try again, Sarah's grandad Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) offered money for the second attempt.

Cain added that he wouldn't be telling cash-strapped wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) just yet, which is asking for trouble given her current problems!

As a new day dawns, Charity, Mack, Sarah and Jacob prepare to head to the clinic for a follow-up appointment, with all of them convinced that Charity can't be expecting a baby.

But they're all shocked when the consultant reveals that Charity is pregnant after all!

Later, a thrilled Sarah publicly shares her happy news in the Woolpack, but that's not the end of the story tonight.
