Executive producer Jane Hudson said: "We've got our Anderson family – Charles, Ethan, Naomi and of course Manpreet, who's with Charles. They've finally got their own home – Charles and Manpreet – which is fantastic.

"We are going to see Ethan go through quite a journey with Marcus on screen, which will result in Ethan being young, free and single – and where will that lead us to?

"There is a lot in store for the Andersons this year. There is a lot going to be happening for Charles in particular, but I'm not going to tell you what that is at the moment – you're going to have to keep watching, because it's happening a bit further in the year."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
