It’s Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Mackenzie Boyd’s (Lawrence Robb) wedding day in tonight’s Emmerdale and — you’ve guessed it — there’s no telling on whether the nuptials will actually go ahead.

A number of obstacles are standing in the couple’s way as the ITV soap airs tonight from 7.30pm. Mack’s fling with Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) led to a pregnancy, with Mack doing his best to suppress his fatherly instincts in a bid to live happily ever after with the oblivious Charity.

Chloe’s waters broke last night while Mack and Charity found themselves locked up in cells at the police station, accused of robbery after some A-Team-themed passion in a dodgy van.

While it’s touch and go whether the bride and groom will even make it down the aisle, the bigger question is: will Charity discover her husband-to-be’s betrayal just as she’s supposed to be saying I do?

Will this couple make it down the aisle? (ITV)

But of course, all eyes will be on Charity, who thinks she’s finally found her soulmate, but has no idea of the bombshell coming her way.

Behaviour like Mack’s simply can’t be contained forever, and frankly it’s high time that Charity heard the truth. Granddaughter Sarah’s decision to protect Chloe and Mack’s secret was one of Emmerdale’s oddest choices in years, and the big reveal can’t come soon enough.

So, will Charity be in wedded bliss by the end of the night, or might she be planning her revenge instead?

Tune in to Emmerdale on ITV at 7.30pm for an hour-long special to see what happens next.
