Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt issued a message to fans in defence of his co-star as their characters split on-screen. Fans of the ITV soap have been waiting for the day Paddy Kirk found out about Chas Dingle's affair with Al Chapman.
And that day came in scenes aired last week as Belle Dingle finally caved, months after first discovering Chas and Al's affair and told a heartbroken Paddy the truth. Belle confronted Chas after trying to help Chloe Harris track down the woman Al was cheating on her mum Kerry Wyatt with.
Realising the date matched the day Faith died, and the location was the spa Faith had booked to get her daughter away from the pub, a lightbulb went off for Belle. She stormed over to The Woolpack where she confronted Chas, who made more excuses, while Belle threatened to finally tell Paddy the truth. But upon seeing the vet being a doting father with Eve at the swings, she couldn't go through with it.
