Emmerdale has confirmed Vanessa Woodfield and Charity Dingle are going to split up.
The fan favourite couple are set to hit the rocks after Vanessa is left horrified when Vinny spills that Charity was involved with the casino heist.
Despite feeling betrayed and lied to, Vanessa decides to confront her fiancée and give her the opportunity to tell her the truth about what she had done.
However, according to official soap spoilers, Charity refuses to come clean to Vanessa. Her decision leaves a devastated Vanessa with no choice but to end their relationship.
Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, opened up to Insider Soap about how her character’s world “comes crashing down” after the split.
“Charity swears on her and Vanessa’s kids’ lives that she’s telling the truth, when she knows it’s a lie,” she said. “The golden rule is that you never swear on your children’s lives – certainly not on the life of somebody else’s child, as she has done with Vanessa’s son Johnny. So this betrayal is far too big for Vanessa to take.”
She added that she doesn’t think Charity believes it is really over between them until Vanessa breaks the news to the pub.
“Vanessa has it out with Charity and says, ‘It’s over!’” she continued. “I don’t think Charity believes it until Vanessa snaps and tells the whole pub what she’s been up to. Everyone is disgusted.”
