Emmerdale’s Mandy Dingle was left in shock in Friday’s episode as she finally learnt the truth about Paul Ashdale’s abuse of their son Vinny Dingle.
Liv told Mandy that Paul was gambling again and faked his kidnapping for sympathy, and about the horror beatings he was subjecting Vinny to.
Mandy said: “It’s not true, it’s wrong and it’s spiteful.”
Liv replied: “Paul beat Vinny and put him in hospital – why do you think he wanted to move in so quick?”
“No, Vinny got jumped by Connor’s thugs,” said a horrified Mandy.

Liv told her: “No, it was Paul, and he attacked me too yesterday.”
Sickened, Mandy accused Liv of trying to cause trouble, despite Aaron backing up every word Liv was saying.
“Not every man is as evil as your father,” Mandy cruelly told Liv, as Aaron furiously told Mandy to “wake up”.
Mandy then accused Liv of trying to get revenge on Vinny and his family for ending their relationship, branding her a “fantasist”.
But as Mandy stormed out and went to see Vinny, he continued to lie about the abuse, refusing to admit the truth about Paul.
But Mandy knows her son and it was written all over her face that she had realised the truth, despite Vinny’s pleas, as he was concerned it would only stress his mum out even more while she was grieving.
Vinny is in hospital with internal bleeding, likely from Paul’s latest beating, but he was devastated when he found out his dad had died in the explosion.
“Oh my god, what has this man done to you?” asked Mandy, in horror.
One fan tweeted: “God that was a tough watch. That last scene was heart wrenching. Mandy could see it in Vinny’s face straight away. Finally the truth is out.
“What a brilliant week this has been, every episode has been outstanding. #Emmerdale@Reallisariley@Brad_J_J “.
Another comented: “Vinny tried to deny it but Mandy realized Liv & Aaron were telling the truth about Paul #Emmerdale “.
“Yes liv has told Mandy the truth about Paul beating vinny #emmerdale,” rejoiced a third.
