ITV Emmerdale fans were emotional tonight after a shocking twist was revealed.
Mandy Dingle had fans failing to “hold back the tears” when she revealed the truth about Vinny’s heritage.
In an emotional conversation with the Dingle clan, Mandy revealed she wasn’t Vinny’s biological mother in a shocking twist.
Speaking with tears in her eyes, Mandy said: “We were happy and then the wheels started to fall off and Paul [Vinny’s dad] got himself into this mess and it just got bigger and bigger.
“One day, he walked away and he never came back.”
Mandy confirmed she and Vinny had been left but she wanted to become “the mum he never had”.
The rest of the Dingles accepted Vinny as one of their own.
