Chas Dingle (portrayed by Lucy Pargeter) has been married to Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) for two years and the couple have built their own little family.

However, no pairing is spared from drama in the Dales and when the Woolpack manager found out her mother Faith (Sally Dexter) was fighting breast cancer again, she was unable to cope with the prospect of her mortality.

Frustrated Paddy has been feeling helpless, unable to find the right words to help his wife – prompting Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) to fly to Chas’ rescue.

After giving her support, encouraging her to be more honest with Faith about how she feels, the businessman strikes up an affair with Chas next week.

Coming up, Chas begins to feel like her life is spiralling out of control, turning to Al for comfort.

The two share a kiss and Chas soon suggests they book a hotel room, only to retract when Faith struggles with her chemo and collapses the following day.

Feeling guilty, Chas cuts ties with Al and, to overcompensate, jumps on board with Faith’s idea for a big knees up to celebrate Paddy’s birthday.

But when Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and Al bump into Chas and Paddy, the unspoken tension is clear between the illicit lovers.

Later on, Al admits he was jealous seeing her with Paddy, to which a defiant Chas responds by denying her feelings.

The following day, Chas endures an immensely awkward situation and tries to act normal when Kerry recounts her night with Al.

This leads to a clash on Main Street between Chas and Al, as they both express jealousy over the other’s relationship… unaware that a suspicious Charity (Emma Atkins) is watching on.

Charity knows what infidelity looks like as she’s been unfaithful herself to her former fiancée Vanessa Woodfield.

But could she shake some sense into Chas – who was once at war with Al over The Woolpack?

Tune in to ITV to find out.
