Fans of Vanessa and Charity (‘Vanity’ for short) are hoping that they have spotted a ‘sign’ in a social media post from Emmerdale star Rosie Bentham. This came as the actor, who plays Gabby Thomas on the soap, went behind the scenes to give viewers a glimpse of the wardrobe department.

And, as she did, fans felt that her pairing of a certain top with a certain skirt could be a hint at things to come… or are we all just clutching at straws?

And this was all some fans needed to jump back aboard the Vanity bandwagon.

“10/10 for the fact she paired a charity top with a Vanessa skirt…VANITY,” wrote one viewer.

“Charity top, Vanessa skirt = VANITY SIGN,” exclaimed another.

“Close enough. Welcome back Vanity,” a third joked.

“LOVE LOVE LOVE the skirt  Such a VIBE for Gabby SOOO VANITY VINTAGE & I SOO LOVE GABBY & VINNY together make them a GOLDEN ball,” enthused a fourth.

A sneaky sign of things to come, or (more likely, let’s be honest) a fun nod to the fans?

When did Charity and Vanessa split up on Emmerdale?

Fans have long been holding out for a return to the ‘Vanity’ days of Emmerdale – a relationship which fell apart when Charity kissed her current husband, Mack.

Vanessa left the village, seemingly putting paid to the relationship once and for all. She recently returned, but there have been no signs of a reconciliation between the former lovers so far. We can but hope.
