Meanwhile, Parr’s character Ross has been experiencing drama on Emmerdale as he faces a paternity test<\/a> to find out if he’s the father of Charity Dingle’s baby. <\/p>\n

Charity had agreed to be a surrogate for her granddaughter Sarah Sugden, who is unable to have children. <\/p>\n

However, with the father of the baby in question, Charity decided to get a paternity test, with Ross nervously awaiting the results. <\/p>\n

“Charity would happily bury her head in the sand about this, and hand the baby over to Sarah,” our Emmerdale source explains. “The only thing that matters to her is her granddaughter’s happiness.<\/p>\n

“But with Ross a daily irritant in her life, she can’t escape reality \u2013 the baby could easily be his.”
