Aaron had been keeping his test results hidden from his mum, Chas Dingle, after discovering that he had inherited the BRCA2 gene.

Unbeknownst to Chas, Aaron also underwent testing for the gene.

As Chas has made the decision to undergo a mastectomy, she remains unaware of her son's test results.

Dr. Liam Cavanagh paid a visit to Chas at the request of Charity.

However, during their conversation, something he said triggered Chas to suspect that Aaron was keeping something from her.

Eventually, when Chas confronted Aaron and encouraged him to come clean, he admitted to having the faulty gene.

Aaron was left furious and went to confront Liam and in a rage.

He violently punched Liam in the face and him and pushed him over.

Viewers were not happy with Aaron's drastic and violent actions and think he went too far.

Taking to X (formally known as Twitter), one said: "Aaron that's out of order! He only done something you should have done weeks ago. Plus he didn't actually tell Chas he give a hint.. #Emmerdale."

Another wrote: "Angry p***k Aaron's back again, he needs to grow up #Emmerdale."

A third penned: "Really thought that Aaron had turned a corner, he only meant well! #emmerdale."

Meanwhile, Aaron Dingle actor Danny Miller was worried about his future on the soap after finding out about his storyline.

He told the press: "My first thought about this story was, 'I've just moved to Leeds, please don't kill me off! 'There are people who just have bad luck, which follows them.

"So I knew what they were going to say when it was the three of them [Cain Dingle, Caleb Milligan and his character Aaron] who take the gene test. I remember saying, 'It's me that gets it, isn't it?'

"I don't think Aaron realises the seriousness of it straight away. Aaron's always been one of those people who doesn't like constant eyes and attention on him.

"If he were to tell people when he's not dealt with it himself, he's likely to get a lot of people asking if he's alright, which is the worst question you can ask him.

"I've always been interested in those types of stories that are untouched and untold. But it's naive of me to not think about male breast cancer. I spoke to a couple of other people here, males, and they didn't know about it either.

"So it would be an interesting story. For now, Aaron puts it all to the back of his mind. I know there will be a conversation with Chas at some point.

" She's the only person, apart from Paddy, that Aaron would open up to. I hope it'll be a positive outcome for Aaron, and for me!"
