Emmerdale to reveal Mackenzie Boyd's mystery lover

 The truth comes out.

Emmerdale has confirmed that Mackenzie Boyd's mystery lover will be revealed on screen next week.

Fans have been speculating ever since Mack cheated on Charity Dingle by sleeping with someone else last month. The show has teased that this person is a familiar face from the village.

Next week's episodes see the story reach a peak as Mackenzie's secret spreads further.

While they're all having some beers together at home, Mackenzie is mortified when Nate Robinson mentions his infidelity in front of Charity's son Ryan Stocks.

Ryan immediately demands that his housemates tell him the truth, so Mack reluctantly comes clean about his mistake.

Ryan makes it clear that he's not willing to cover for Mack, so he orders him to tell Charity the truth.

The following day, Mack is in turmoil as he wonders how he can break the news to Charity.

Mack ultimately fights back against Ryan's ultimatum, vowing to deny any allegations of cheating if Ryan tells Charity himself.

As the week continues, Mack realises that he's not out of the woods yet, as Ryan is visibly struggling with keeping his secret.
