It’s been a tough time for Emmerdale’s Chas Dingle (played by Lucy Pargeter). Not only has she been diagnosed with breast cancer, she’s also been told that she’s a carrier of the faulty BRCA2 gene.
The beloved Emmerdale character was devastated by her diagnosis earlier this year, and then had to break the news to her family.
Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), Caleb Miligan (William Ash) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) then had a choice to make - whether they get tested for the gene, or not.
Chas encouraged her loved ones to get checked, as they could pass the gene onto their children too. While Cain and Caleb wanted to get tested, Aaron remained undecided.
