**This article includes discussions of ectopic pregnancy\u00a0which some readers may find distressing.**<\/i><\/p>\n

Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) made a big mistake in tonight\u2019s Emmerdale<\/a> (1st September), as he cheated on partner Charity Dingle<\/a> (Emma Atkins) after an argument.<\/p>\n

Only recently, the couple lost a baby together<\/a>, with Charity suffering an ectopic pregnancy just as she was starting to look forward to having another child. Mack and Charity have both been struggling separately, with Mack growing more worried that he wouldn\u2019t be happy to go without having a child.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been clear that Charity has no plans to become pregnant again after the tragedy, and the pair haven\u2019t been intimate in the weeks since. Mack decided to book them onto the wellness retreat organised by Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), but the event didn\u2019t go to plan. Still, it amused them enough to get them laughing together.<\/p>\n

As their bond re-emerged, Mack and Charity shared a kiss. But Charity pulled away, conscious that this was the first time they had been close since their loss. Mack then chose that moment to suggest that they could have another baby, and Charity was furious over his insensitive timing as she stormed off.<\/p>\n

Another conversation led to a bigger row, ending with Charity instructing her other half to find someone else if he was so desperate to procreate. And, while Charity despaired and began to regret her harsh words, Mack had followed her instructions!<\/p>\n

We saw Charity confiding in frenemy \u2013 and Mack\u2019s sister \u2013 Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), as she realised that it was just too soon to decide for sure on having more children. Moira was supportive, seeing how much Charity loved Mack. She informed her that she had seen Mack heading out to get drunk, but assured Charity that he adored her and that they could make things right.<\/p>\n

Charity thanked her, and planned to follow her advice. But as she left messages for Mack and hoped for a reconciliation, Mack was in a hotel bed. As he picked up his phone to check in, a mystery female hand batted the phone away, with a mischievous Mack taking the bait.<\/p>\n

But who is this secret lover? It can surely only be a matter of time before Charity learns the truth\u2026<\/p>\n

Who is Mack\u2019s mystery lover in Emmerdale?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who has Mack cheated with?<\/span><\/figcaption> ITV<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Well, we can certainly speculate over the identity of Mack\u2019s mystery woman \u2013 after all, it must be someone significant for maximum drama. Spoilers for next week also reveal that he will admit to pal Nate (Jurell Carter) that he cheated with someone local to the village<\/a>.<\/p>

So who could it be? Well, there are plenty of options! How about Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland)? That could be controversial after what Charity\u2019s son Noah (Jack Downham) put Chloe through not so long ago. Chloe has previously had brief whirlwind romances with Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) and Nate himself, so could that explain Nate\u2019s shaken reaction?<\/p>\n

Or could it be Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), who has been looking for love? She has been known for troublemaking in the past, but only a short while ago, the young mother was completely disgusted over lothario Kit\u2019s (Thoren Ferguson) double dalliances with her and stepmum Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy). So, would she really be interested in getting involved in another messy triangle?<\/p>\n

As a last guess for now, there\u2019s also Belle \u2013 what a dramatic reveal that would be! But Belle has only just finished lecturing cousin Chas (Lucy Pargeter) over her own affair<\/a>. Surely she wouldn\u2019t do this to Charity, right?<\/p>\n

Ah, but this is soapland, and anything can happen\u2026<\/p>\n
