Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle have had plenty of practice sneaking around in Emmerdale, but it seems they’ve got pretty sloppy with it!

After fans accused them yesterday of being ‘glued’ to each other, raising all the suspicions of a reunion, tonight’s episode sees them caught out. But who by? And will they tell all?

Robert and Aaron keep their romance a secret in Emmerdale

Although Robert renewed his vows to secret prison husband Kev last month, his heart was devoted to Aaron. Aaron agreed to let Robert be with Kev because they think he’s dying and only has months to live. They decided to keep their reunion secret and sneak around while Rob pretended to be the perfect husband.

But after recounting his prison hell in his standalone episode last week Robert decided he couldn’t keep deceiving Kev. He came clean that he no longer felt the same about him. But he didn’t confess he was back with Aaron.

The boys have decided to keep things on the downlow until Kev dies, so Robert can still support him in his final days. Of course what they don’t know is that Kev isn’t dying at all.

They’ve almost been caught out once when Kev stormed round to Aaron’s, where Robert had stayed the night, and accused them of sleeping together. But they lied their way out of that one and Kev was appeased.

But now they’ve been caught out again…

Robron caught in ITVX early release

It seems they are struggling to keep things quiet and Aaron lamented today that he was bored of all the sneaking around. Robert is too, but seems unsure what to do about it.

They decided that kissing was the only thing they could do about it. Thinking they were alone in the flat, they started to get amorous, but then Chas let herself in!

She caught them at it and wasn’t really buying it when they said it was a moment of madness and nothing was happening. Anyone with eyes can see that’s not true!

Chas warned them Kev was a psycho and she wanted Aaron to stay alive. She insisted it stopped now, but promised their secret was safe with her.

Once back home it was clear Chas was tempted to tell Liam what she knows, but stopped short of doing so. Will she end up confessing to him? And with him being Kev’s confidant all of a sudden, will Liam knowing the secret put Aaron and Robert in more danger?
