But in recent scenes, new mum Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) told Mackenzie to leave the hospital because he couldn't be a dad to Reuben.

This has led fans to think the real father could be Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).

Fans first questioned the father of Chloe baby when she gave birth at seven months pregnant - with no indication that he was born prematurely.

Nate and Mack had a heated exchange after Nate asked his friend: "Do you love Charity?"

Mack replied: "You know I do why else would I marry her?"

"You need to focus on her, she is your priority," Nate argued as Mack quipped back: "So I just stop worrying about my dying kid?"

Nate told him: "First of all, you need to stop thinking the worst and he's not really yours anymore, he never really was."

"Are you saying I should disown him instead?" Mack asked before Nate hit back: "I am saying you have, you could have confessed months ago."

Fans have come up with their own theories about whether he is the real father in a bizarre paternity twist.

Taking to an Emmerdale fan page, one user wrote: "It’s just easy to blame Mack cause he’s so gullible why hasn’t he done a DNA any man would want to know for sure if he’s the dad he wants a baby so bad he’s not thinking straight Chloe knows this."

Another added: "I think it’s Nates."

A third penned: "I think it is Nates baby... thought this all along... we will wait n see."

A fourth conspired: "He will need a blood transfusion and Mack gives blood but it’s different to baby’s so he’s not the daddy."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
