Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd gets called out by his wife Charity Dingle next week after taking a childish stance towards Sarah Sugden.

Mackenzie is currently fearing for his job at Cain Dingle's garage after Sarah's recent successful shifts at the business.

Earlier this week, Cain roped in a reluctant Sarah to help him out as he was short-staffed.

Sarah initially took a sulky approach to being given the responsibility, but her mood improved when a handsome customer needed her help with his car.

Before long, the teenager proved her worth and revealed just how much she'd learned over the years by observing her mum Debbie, who's also a mechanic.

When Sarah playfully mentioned that there was a possibility of her replacing Mackenzie at the garage, he couldn't help feeling unsettled over his future.

Mackenzie also started trying to undermine Sarah by pointing out her inexperience.

In upcoming episodes, Mackenzie continues to cause problems for Sarah as he makes her life difficult at work.

Charity becomes unimpressed by his behaviour and wastes little time before confronting her husband over the way he's acting.

Can the bickering family get back on track?

Speaking recently about Mackenzie's future, Lawrence Robb – who plays Mackenzie – told Digital Spy: "At the moment I'm expecting it to be a little bit quieter for Mackenzie – and Charity, I guess. But it's Emmerdale so you never know. There's always something that they've got planned for each of the characters.

"I'm enjoying having a little bit of a break because I've been quite full-on for the last year at least!"

Asked about the possibility of more criminal hijinks between Mack and Aaron Dingle, he replied: "I do enjoy working with Danny [Miller, who plays Aaron]. It's always a laugh. There's a lot of hilarity when we're on set together. I hope so but at the moment I'm not sure.

"I think it might be a little bit quieter now for Mackenzie for a little bit. It would be nice to see some of the hijinks that Aaron and Mackenzie get up to."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
