Emmerdale star teases family could be torn apart over 'massive' betrayal

One Emmerdale star has teased a family could face heartache if a sad betrayal is to come to light.

Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden on the ITV soap, hinted that regardless of the outcome of her character's surrogacy storyline, a family could be torn apart. Viewers know that Sarah learned the distressing news earlier this year that she could not carry a child.

After treatment following a cancer diagnosis, a complication meant that Sarah could not have a successful pregnancy. Her grandmother Charity Dingle then offered to be a surrogate for Sarah and her partner Jacob Gallagher, offering to carry their child.

Charity underwent an embryo transfer, but after suffering from bleeding she was left fearing it had been unsuccessful and she ended up drowning her sorrows. This led to her cheating on her husband Mack Boyd with her ex flame Ross Barton.

When Charity found out she was pregnant, she had no idea if she was carrying Sarah's baby or her own with Ross. Ross has demanded a DNA test, while Charity has not told Sarah that the child may not be her own.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, actress Katie confessed she is unsure how Sarah would react if the truth ever came out. With it yet to be confirmed if the baby is Sarah's or not, either way it will leave Sarah feeling betrayed due to the lies amid what is such a "massive" thing for her.

Katie hinted Sarah might not be able to forgive Charity after everything that she has been through. Asked if she could move past it, she told us: "I don't know, it is a massive thing. She is so set on having her own baby, it's all she has gone on about.

"I think it could be a big moment for Charity and Sarah if she ever found out. We'll have to wait and see cos I don't know how she would react. I can't say anything, but it is big stuff and fans should keep watching."

Spoilers have revealed that Charity struggles to keep her secret in upcoming scenes, especially as Ross keeps pushing her about whether he is the father or not. Charity sparks suspicion with her husband Mack who notices she seems uneasy.

As Charity continues to hide the truth from her loved ones, how long will it be before someone finds out? At some point she will find out whether the baby is her child or Sarah's, but whether she tells anyone remains to be seen.
