Having made the decision to have the baby they’ve nicknamed Margherita – after a ballet dancer, not a cocktail – christened when the time comes, they now decide that they’d like her to have godparents too.

The pair start to discuss who they think would be the best candidates for the bittersweet role.

Fans were left in tears last month when Chas was told that her unborn baby has a condition which has caused her kidneys and lungs to not develop properly.

The pub landlady has been a mess since getting the news the same day she found out she was carrying a baby girl.

She couldn’t even bring herself to tell Paddy the news at first, eventually crumbling and telling him the devastating truth at her baby shower.

They decided to continue with the pregnancy and let nature take its course rather than abort their much-loved daughter, Chas saying it’s the only life she’ll have and they will make it the best they can for her.

Eventually the rest of the Dingle clan were let in on the news too and are all trying to support Chas and Paddy as well as they can.

Chas found out she was unexpectedly pregnant earlier this year when a routine GP appointment reminded her that she hadn’t been in for her contraceptive injection.

Filled with horror, she took a pregnancy test back at the Woolpack and was distraught to find out she was indeed preggers.

She’s had mixed feelings about becoming a mum again, leaving viewers heartbroken earlier this year when she confessed to Paddy that she blamed herself for son Aaron being raped and abused by his dad Gordon Livesy when she left them.

She even considered an abortion at one point, convinced that she would be a terrible mum and was in no way responsible enough to bring a new life into the world.

But when she saw how much Paddy wanted their baby, and when she properly considered life with a new child, the pub landlady decided it was what she wanted.

After that, the couple looked forward to welcoming their new addition before being dealt the devastating blow about her health.
