JOE Tate and Dawn Fletcher's affair in Emmerdale has been 'rumbled' - as another villager plots their revenge.
Today's instalment of the ITV soap showed someone learning the pair's secret - and it's bad news for one of them.
Viewers saw Joe (Ned Porteous) secure his half-brother Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) an exciting new job in Dubai.
Noah is enthused about the opportunity, but his mother Charity (Emma Atkins) is less than impressed.
She is determined to prevent Noah from making the life-changing move abroad - due to not trusting Joe.
However, Noah has even threatened to sign the contract sooner than planned.
Charity enlisted her elder son Ryan Stocks (James Moore) to uncover any dirt on Joe via his computer.
However, the pair soon discovered that the laptop actually belonged to Kim Tate (Claire King).
An undeterred Charity kept looking regardless - and received a notification to activate a live stream.
She overheard a revealing conversation between Joe and Dawn, who had just resumed their affair.
A hesitant Dawn could be heard suggesting to her lover that they stop.
While Joe responded: "Why? If you're worried about Kim, she's not going to come in here. Neither is Billy."
At this point, Dawn reiterated she had told Joe not to talk about her husband.
He remarked: "I could do other things."
Still sat in her kitchen, Charity realised she had exactly what she needed to use against Joe.
She said aloud while smirking: "Well, well, well. Joe Tate, you dirty dog."
How will Charity use this newfound information to her advantage?
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
