Emmerdale's Lydia Dingle struggles with incriminating secret after Ben's murder

Emmerdale has released new spoilers teasing a huge secret in the fallout to Ben Tucker being killed.

Killer Meena Jutla murdered him this week, brutally attacking him with an oar and leaving his lifeless body outside the HOP, after he found video evidence that could prove she tried to drown Victoria Sugden.

But shortly before the incident and deadly showdown, Ben got into a row with his boyfriend Aaron Dingle's sibling Liv Flaherty.

Fans now think Liv will be framed for the death, after they clashed over Ben and Aaron's plans to leave the village amid her alcoholism battle.

Things got heated as Ben vowed to keep Aaron away from her, after she hit the bottle again leaving her sibling in turmoil.

As Ben had it out with Liv over her drinking and her threats about grassing him up for breaking into the HOP, she ended up falling over - while she'd also smashed a load of bottles of booze, causing a spillage.

In the end she fled with Ben's phone after he tried to record her drunk, with her blasting him as a "freak" before refusing to let him take Aaron away.

Lydia Dingle then saw Liv outside, with the teen telling her: "I hate him, I hate his guts... Ben."

This happened just prior to his murder, and in the latest episode Liv woke up with a scratch on her neck as she recalled Ben telling her she was "disgusting" and "manipulative".

Next week, Lydia struggles with what she saw at the location of Ben's murder - and not knowing what Liv did next.

Lydia is aware of the significance of her meeting with Liv and what Liv said to her about Ben, knowing they'd had a row.

She struggles with keeping it from her family, but will she spill the beans to the police or Aaron?

Meanwhile, Liv's own guilt over her altercation with Ben mounts leaving her in turmoil, especially as her brother grieves.

But when the police inform her that they will need a statement, it could see her left in the frame.

Whether she will tell the truth about what happened or not remains to be seen - while Ben's real killer remains at large.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
