Emmerdale fans seriously distracted by Belle Dingle as Chas and Al romp in hotel in raunchy scenes

EMMERDALE fans were left seriously distracted as Chas Dingle and Al Chapman continued their affair in racy scenes.

The latest instalment of the hit ITV soap featured Chas (Lucy Pargeter) and Al (Michael Wildman) sneaking off to a hotel.

The Woolpack owner and the notorious businessman have been enjoying a secret seedy affair for weeks behind the backs of partners Paddy and Kerry.

Following another steamy session, Chas and Al parted ways after sharing a final kissbut unbeknownst to them they had already been spotted.

Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) made a bombshell discovery when she spotted the two as she attended an event at the same hotel.

But it wasn’t the fact they had been caught out which left everyone open-mouthed, it was the return of Belle whom many viewers insisted hadn’t appeared on the programme for a while.

Many took to Twitter to comment on Belle’s surprise re-appearance with one writing: “Belle hasn’t been around for a while.”

A second added: “Belle is back in #Emmerdale I’d forgotten about her.”

Another surmised: “I wondered why Belle is back now we know..”

Chas has been continuing the sordid affair as a distraction from her home life as her mother Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) continues to be affected by her terminal battle with cancer.

After a tough meeting with Faith’s palliative care nurse, Chas joined Al for some sneaky fun in the posh hotel in an attempt to get away from any prying eyes.

Al has built his reputation for being a ladies man in the village having attempted to win the hearts of many of Emmerdale’s adoring women but his wandering eye has often brought him more trouble than it is worth.

Will Belle inform the rest of the Dingle clan of exactly what she saw at the hotel? And how will Paddy and Kerry react if their beloved other halves' secret becomes local village knowledge?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV.
