ITV Emmerdale viewers confused as This Morning star 'appears' in fictional village

Emmerdale viewers were confused as they 'spotted' a This Morning star in the fictional village.

Thursday's edition of the long-running soap saw Charity Dingle tie the knot with Mackenzie. However, the ceremony was plagued with drama after the character, played by Emma Atkins, decided to get her husband-to-be a replica A-Team van as a wedding present.

The two decided to dress up in full fancy dress as characters from the iconic 1980s show for their big day. This caused problems as the van had been involved in a robbery and PC Swirling arrested the couple for the crime.

The next day, Charity and Mackenzie were pleasantly surprised to be released from the cells, but realised it was too late to get married. Mackenzie and Charity pleaded for Cain to stall Charles, and then the A-team van roared into view with none other than PC Swirling behind the wheel. It turned out he is a huge fan and wanted to help them, after some persuasion from Moira.

Charity was dressed as John "Hannibal" Smith for the nuptials. But fans were in hysterics as the iconic mop of grey hair also reminded them of Phillip Schofield's famous hairstyle.

Jack said: "Why is Charity dressed like Philip Schofield?"

Thomas added: "Philip Schofield gets a part in #Emmerdale"

Pete commented: "Charity looks like Phillip Schofield in that wig"
