Soap fans have become obsessed with Mack and Aaron’s flirting in recent scenes, with some branding it “queer-baiting”.

But actor Lawrence Robb – who plays Mack – has revealed Emmerdale bosses haven’t decided on his character’s sexual orientation.

“I don’t think the writers are going down a route of Mack’s straight, bisexual or gay, as I think he’s just free,” he said.

“And I don’t think that Mack’s really interested in anything romantic as of yet.”

“He’s just very in-the-moment, like what happened with Charity.”

Lawrence added: “The way I’ve been playing it thus far, is that Mack would flirt with a lamppost to get to the next point!”

“I think Aaron does fancy Mack in an, ‘Oh I shouldn’t… but I do’ kind of way, and I think Mack knows that and enjoys the attention.”
