EMMERDALE fans are convinced Al Chapman is having an affair with Chas Dingle.
The businessman – who is played by actor Michael Wildman in the ITV soap – has been behaving mysteriously for months.
He has been seen making a series of suggestive phone calls – as well as obviously making plans with another woman behind partner Priya Sharma’s back.
And at one point he publicly rejected Chas Dingle when she propositioned him in front of her own partner Paddy Kirk.
However fans have become convinced that that was a sham and the pair are in fact having an affair.
One wrote: “We think he’s having a secret fling with Chas and all the phone calls are from her.”
A second said: “Well, not just the picnic, but Chas came to the Hide to scrounge some condiments, her and Al seemed very familiar, and went off to the stock room together and neither of them were seen again, for some time.”
Another added: “It would be a massive twist if it did end up as Chas.”
However, others don’t think he has another woman at all – and think he’s secretly a male escort.
One wrote: “I’m wondering if he’s doing some high end escort/gigolo stuff?
“Or having a scam relationship with some older woman as a means of getting money.
“He did get himself into financial trouble before so he could have again and found some creative solution for it.”
Another added: “This idea of yours about him being a high end escort could just be spot on.”
