After romping with Dr Liam Cavanagh, Chas Dingle was warned that her health may be in danger when the GP found a lump in her breast.

The Woolpack bar manager tried to avoid reality before she had no other choice but to face the music with Liam and, eventually, Lydia Dingle's support.

Chas' worries grew when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and, reminded of the secrecy her mother Faith maintained around her own breast cancer diagnosis, she decided to open up to the rest of the Dingles.

This then prompted her to warn the men in her family, more particularly her brothers Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Caleb Miligan (Will Ash), along with her son, Aaron (Danny Miller).

Chas urged the three men to get checked to figure out if they may have the BRCA2 gene, which was pointed out as the cause of her health ordeal.

Next week on ITV, as she continues treatment for her cancer, unlike Faith Dingle who opted to end her life on her own terms, Chas makes a huge decision.

But she first makes a big discovery when Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) accidentally reveals to her that Aaron has no intention of getting the BRCA2 gene test.

Fuming at Vinny, Lydia (Karen Blick) intervenes and tells Aaron about Chas’ appointment that day.
