She is pretending it\u2019s the baby of Sarah and Jacob who she is acting as a surrogate for. But it\u2019s clear the pressure of the lies is really getting to her.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Vanessa noticed and grilled Charity on it. Vanessa has a feeling the baby is Charity and Mack\u2019s \u2013 after Charity previously let her believe it was Mack she slept with. As Vanessa pressed, Charity admitted there is a chance the baby isn\u2019t Sarah\u2019s. She then quickly tried to backtrack. But Vanessa\u2019s suspicions were roused and she\u2019s not going to let this go.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile at the 20 week scan, Charity was very concerned about genetic diseases the baby might have. She asked for lots to be checked. But the sonographer assured her the baby is fine. Charity put it down to fears over it being a geriatric pregnancy and what happened to<a
