Emmerdale fans think they have 'revealed' identity of Mack's mystery partner - and it's not a woman

Emmerdale fans are now certain that Mackenzie Boyd’s recent betrayal of partner Charity Dingle was not with a woman, as was originally assumed.

In fact, viewers believe Mack actually tumbled into bed with a man who is very familiar to the village after he confessed all to Nate.

They think that Mack may have slept with Aaron Dingle, whose return ahead of the 50th soap anniversary was confirmed earlier this year after actor Danny Miller initially quit after his I’m A Celeb stint.

Some eagle-eyed fans of the show claim that Mack has only ever referred to his new love interest as “they”, rather than “she”. A face has never been put to the secret lover either, which means it could be anyone.

Mack and Aaron have always had a natural chemistry, and flirted with each other at some points.

Taking to Facebook, one user theorised: “I think Mack slept with a man. Possibly Aaron. He never once said ‘she’, he said ‘they’. Just a thought.”

As another agreed: “I did notice he kept referring to the person as they… thought that was a bit odd.”

Someone else posted: “Mack is bisexual though – when he first arrived at the village he was after Aaron!” while another echoed: “There was certainly some chemistry between Mack and Aaron.”

“Yes I wondered why he kept referring to them as they…” another penned.

However, other fans were more convinced they’ve spotted enough signs that point to his mystery person being a woman, with one pointing out: “Definitely a young female based on the hands!”

A second added: “What about the woman’s manicured hand that reached over and knocked his phone out of his hand – maybe three in a bed then eh?”

“It’s going to be Tracy, that’s why they had him tell Nate. She’s due to pop back to the village soon,” another viewer said.

However, Danny Miller’s return has already been confirmed, with producer Jane Hudson telling press: “Aaron's back and how is he going to respond when he finds out that his mum is cheating on Paddy, who he sees as a father?

"Is he going to discover that Sandra is not all about Liv? There's a huge story happening over there."
