Emmerdale’s Marlon Dingle hiding dark secret about daughter April’s disappearance

MARLON Dingle is hiding a dark secret about daughter April Windsor’s disappearance, it has been revealed in Emmerdale.

The chef - who is played by actor Mark Charnock in the ITV soap - was confronted by police today after police made a shocking discovery.

The police discovered a secret social media account that April was using to vent and it emerged that she had suspected her dad was having an affair with Laurel.

To police woman Anna, Marlon insisted that he wasn’t having an affair with Laurel.

And he asked Anna to not tell Rhona about the affair concerns.

But once she was gone, he headed over to Laurel’s to warn her that the police knew.

“April knew about our texts,” he told her. 

“I don’t know. She must have seen our messages on my phone, I think that’ why she ran off.”

“Does Rhona know?” replied a worried Laurel.

Marlon told her: “Just the police, I showed them my phone.

A furious Laurel demanded: “Why did you do that?”

“Because it might hold the key as to why she ran away,” he hit back.

Laurel said: “OK, you’re under a lot of pressure, I get it. But April hasn’t run away because of some texts.

“Please Marlon. If this get out I could lose everything.”

Furious Marlon told her: “I want my daughter home, Laurel. Whatever the cost.”

But what dark secret are they hiding? And how is April’s disappearance connected to it?
