Ross demands the truth about the baby in Emmerdale as Charity fights back
In last night's episode of Emmerdale, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) discovered that she's pregnant. It was a happy development Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), as it meant the recent embryo transfer had worked, and Charity was now going to carry their baby for them. The couple remained unaware of Ross Barton's (Michael Parr) reaction when he walked in the pub. A while later, we discovered why he had reason to be shocked at the news. A flashback scene confirmed what happened after a drunk Charity left Vanessa Woodfield's (Michelle Hardwick) house last week. She threw her ex out, and said their kiss was a sign Charity was just being self destructive. Stumbling through the street, Charity found Ross, who was also dealing with relationship woes. The two residents had sex and now Charity is pregnant, and Ross knows that means there's a chance the baby could be his. Back in present day, Charity denied Ross' claims and said there was no chance, as the sex they had was completely meaningless. It was still sex though, but who are we to judge. In complete denial, Charity headed back into the pub and listened as Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) gave a speech and the family celebrated. In tonight's episode, Charity was confronted by Ross again. He still wanted answers, and pointed out that Charity doesn't actually know the complete truth. Charity claimed that she hadn't long been back from the hospital, with a scan confirming the size of the baby and therefore, proof it had formed before she slept with Ross. But he didn't believe her. 'I think he's desperate to find out the answer because it comes with such responsibility, having another child, it's a lot of pressure on him because he's not doing so well with work right now and his living situation isn't ideal as he's always swapping and changing', Michael Parr explained. 'Plus he's just met his brother Lewis. There's a lot going on for him in his head, so he just needs to get to the bottom of this. So he can get a good night's sleep.' A DNA test needs to be conducted to confirm the truth – but will Charity go ahead with it? She was seen researching tests later that day, but what if the test confirms Ross is the father? Will she lie to Sarah, Jacob and Mackenzie? 'There are so many emotions going on which again, puts more of a spotlight onto Charity's awful secret and dilemma', Emma Atkins said. 'The situation was awful to begin with as it began with poor Sarah's position. It's so sad for Sarah as her situation is awful. She so wanted a child but can't physically have one. And in real life there are poor girls in that situation with cervical cancer or who have had to have a hysterectomy. 'So Charity had good intentions initially to help Sarah in her plight to have a child but now it's clashing with the awful situation she's in. The fact Mack is now so upset as he and Charity lost a baby and it was Mack's dream was to have a child with Charity but Charity told him way back when that it wasn't going to happen. She added: 'She wasn't going to go down that route again. But now she has but for someone else. He's rightfully hurt by this although wanting to support her.'

The third and fourth series will be comprised of five hour-long episodes each with broadcast details yet to be announced.

Sandi Toksvig to hunt for undiscovered treasures in new archaeological series
The former Great British Bake Off presenter and comedienne will meet Britain's professional and amateur history hunters to capture the stories of treasures as they are unearthed for the first time in hundreds of years. Toksvig, 67, will be joined by archaeologist Raksha Dave and a team of experts excavating the sites and meeting local experts to help share the history of the most remarkable finds. The show, titled Sandi Toksvig's Hidden Wonders, will be aired in four parts, Channel 4 said. Toksvig said: 'This is the dream job for a history and archaeology enthusiast like me. 'It is a total privilege to be given access to professional archaeological dig sites and to join Raksha and the teams as they dig to reveal the history of our country from right beneath our feet.' Dave, an author and TV presenter, said: 'It's so wonderful to share this experience with Sandi. 'Together, we travel across the UK to join archaeological teams as they uncover astonishing stories from our collective past. 'We're both thrilled to bring archaeology back to the heart of Channel 4 – engaging audiences in a fun, approachable and compelling format that offers real insight into how people lived and the communities helping to rediscover their stories.' Production company Salamanda Media has been commissioned to make the series. In a second announcement on Friday, Channel 4 said the Rev Richard Coles will voyage around the British isles to four of the 31 areas mapped out by the shipping forecast, in a new series for More4. The broadcaster and writer will discover the beauty of estuaries, oceans, channels and coastlines and meet residents of the Faeroes, Lundy, Thames and Wight to learn about life at sea and by the waterside, during the series titled Sailing The Shipping Forecast. The 64-year-old said: 'For years I've listened to the shipping forecast with only half an idea of where these exotic-sounding places are. 'I'm very excited to be a part of this journey around the country and feel privileged to meet just some of the maritime communities of our coasts.' The four-part series has been commissioned by Channel 4 from Glasgow-based Strawberry Blond TV.
