Manpreet met Claudette in the cafe (Picture: ITV)

Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) got the shock of her life in Thursday’s (May 25) edition of Emmerdale as she met Claudette (Flo Wilson), Charles’ (Kevin Mathurin) mother.

Things were awkward from the word go as before Manpreet was even introduced to Claudette, they had already met in the café.

Manpreet had grabbed some breakfast after another argument with Charles.

While she was in the bathroom, Claudette entered and moved Manpreet’s empty cup and plate, assuming the mess on the table was from a small child.

When Manpreet returned, she was annoyed to see Claudette had parked herself in the same seat she was in.

The two women clashed but ultimately,Claudette won, and Manpreet was sent on her way.

Back at home, as Charles went to answer the door, Manpreet’s face dropped when she came face to face with Claudette again, this time meeting her as her partner’s mum.

So awkward.

As Manpreet tried to get over the shock, Claudette was taken to David’s (Matthew Wolfenden) shop by Naomi (Karene Peter).
