EMMERDALE ITV1, 7pm & 8pm

After a holiday in Vegas, Cain’s back and he and Charity have lots of arguing they need to catch up on.

He kicks off by telling Jai Charity’s an ex-prostitute, and slagging her off for being past her sell-by date.

“Get your filthy hands off me,” shouts Charity. A second later they’re snogging each other’s faces off.

Next, Charity’s telling Cain it will never work between them and he offers her £20k to leave the village.

You might think you’ve sat on the fast forward button and you’ve accidentally whizzed through several years of their relationship. But it all happens in one afternoon.

EASTENDERS BBC1, 7.30pm

Denise is never happier than when she’s got something to be completely outraged about, so her timing’s spot on tonight as she reappears just in time to find Libby celebrating her engagement.

But even before she can get properly angry about that, she spots Owen skulking off, giving her plenty to rant happily about for weeks to come.

Meanwhile, the list of unusual suspects in the Who’s The Daddy mystery is presented. So which of these do you reckon is the father of Heather’s baby George: Phil, Darren, Billy, Minty, or none of the above?

My money’s on launderette owner Mr Papadopoulos – the closest thing Heather’s ever likely to get to George Michael.

CORONATION STREET ITV1, 8.30pm

With all the Connors gathered conveniently in church for baby Liam’s christening, the scene is set for Carla to tell them all the truth about Tony.

But will she? Let’s hope she’s seen enough Bond movies to know that giving Tony any time to wriggle free would be a mug’s game.

On the subject of christenings, I do hope they name Maria’s child Baby Liam, because that’s what we’re all going to have to have to call him – at least until he goes to school and can legally change his name to Little Liam.

Their current contracts, which expire this year, are worth £17m over three years. 

Anthony McPartlin, 33, has already admitted the duo were braced for a pay cut.

“It's a tough time for everyone,” he said. “If we're offered less, so be it. I just want to make great shows and brilliant prog rammes and money comes after that.”

He and partner Declan Donnelly, 34, had faced the prospect of a 25 per cent pay cut after ITV lost £2.7 billion last year and had to axe 1,000 jobs.

A source at ITV, which is paying a premium to keep Ant and Dec exclusive, said they did not deserve a big cut because all their shows are hits.

The source added: “They are part of the fabric of ITV and their success is our success. We are not the BBC, funded by the licence fee payer, so don't have to justify the big salaries of our stars.”

The pair are expected to sign the new contracts before they fly to Australia next month to host the ninth ser ies of I'm A Celebrity.

I think it's awful having a drop in your wages to £10,000,000, I don't know how they are going to manage, I would have to go without so much.
