Emmerdale fans have been waiting for the return of Chas Dingle to the Dales since Lucy Pargeter left earlier this year to give birth to her twin girls, Betsy and Missy.

We're sure Emmerdale fans everywhere will be just as relieved as us to hear that soap stalwart Chas Dingle, aka Lucy Pargeter, will be returning to our screens VERY soon.

Lucy, who has starred as Chas on the soap since 2002, tweeted the happy news that she returned to work yesterday.

She wrote on Wednesday: "Big day tomorrow my beautiful #twirls turn 5 months and I go back to work!! Huge mix of emotions😬 I'm going to miss them so much #workingmum."

The mum-of-three was inundated with supportive tweets from not only fans, but her fellow co-star Jonathan Wrather, who plays evil Pierce Harris.

He tweeted: "Bless ya good luck Parge it'll go well I'm sure it will x"

N'aww, we love it when soap colleagues are friends in real life!

The last time we saw Chas, she was heading to Ireland to look after her son Aaron's half-sister Liv after her mother has an accident.

As Aaron was in prison, Lucy explained at the time that she felt responsible: "Chas sees herself as Liv's acting mother because Aaron is in prison still. She decides to take Liv over to Ireland to see her mum."

But in real life, Lucy was welcoming her twin girls, Betsy and Missy, into the world.

Lucy, 40, opened up on This Morning in March about her fertility struggles, and how she and her fiancé Rudi Coleano had turned to IVF to conceive the girls after trying for 11 years.

She opened up about the pain of finding out there was no specific reason why it hadn't happened: "There was no reason, nothing. They looked at both of our stats - my egg reserves, his sperm and everything was fine, it just wasn't happening."

She also explained how they had included their 11-year-old daughter Lola in the whole process: "I think it's so important. I didn't want anything to happen behind her back. We've both been totally open with her about it - she's been to scans, the doctor's appointment when we decided how many to put in.

"She knew about the whole process, about how it works and that they grow them and how they turn into cells. So she's been through the whole thing with us."

Whilst an official statement has not been released about Lucy's return to the soap, we can expect to see Chas back on our screens in Autumn this year.

We can't wait!
