ITV Emmerdale fans fume at Mandy Dingle over 'obsession' with son Vinny

Emmerdale fans were left unimpressed during the latest trip to the village as Mandy Dingle discovered the truth about her son Vinny.

The leopard-print wearing character, played by Lisa Riley, was left heartbroken when she found out Vinny had married girlfriend Liv Flaherty without her knowing.

The young, loved-up could tied the knot in scenes aired on the ITV soap last month after getting engaged when Liv was finally released from prison after being accused of murdering Ben Tucker.

Vinny and Liv painstakingly debated whether to tell their interfering family about their nuptials but decided to make a quick getaway in the Dingle van to Daventry where they said their vows after pulling two strangers as witnesses.

They have since been hiding their marriage from the rest of the family until they found out they were engaged and the newlywed couple didn't correct them meaning Mandy has excitedly been planning an engagement party with the help of Chas.

But during Tuesday night's trip to the Dales, Mandy found out the truth thanks to Noah Dingle. Viewers watched as Samson passed Noah a letter to hand over to Vinny or Liv but ended up opening it himself.

Noah then paid Mandy a visit to give her the post which contained Vinny and Liv's wedding certificate which he claimed he opened "because he was confused" as it was addressed to "Mr and Mrs V Dingle".

Mandy said "must be a mistake" before discovering it wasn't a mistake and that her son had indeed got married without her being there.

Mandy confronted Vinny who tried to apologise to his mum for keeping it from her but she remained inconsolable and later told her son and his new wife to give her space before telling Lydia that she thinks he didn't tell her because she's 'not his real mum'.

But the soap favourite didn't get much sympathy from Emmerdale fans who felt she is 'obsessed' with her son.

@aaron_dingles tweeted: "Why is this suddenly all about Mandy, it's literally none of her business what her adult son does #emmerdale."

"Mandy has way to much of an obsession with her vinny and his life very unhealthy #Emmerdale," @delucaevans said.

@adamjwadd commented: "Mandy's overacting is beyond cringeworthy #Emmerdale."

"Mandy is well over reacting there.. Vinnie would of wanted you there but he knows you dislike liv… if Vinnie doesn’t see you as his real mum he wouldn’t be around you and coming to sort things out.. #Emmerdale," @mikepriestley13 shared.

Others, however, were feeling Mandy's emotions.

"The dialogue throughout that scene between Mandy and Vinny was beautifully heartfelt, and needed. #Emmerdale @Reallisariley you have me in tears. You work well with @Brad_J_J," @xKellieLou said.

@lindibea tweeted: "Lisa @Reallisariley you played a blinder tonight - go Mandy ! #Emmerdale."

"Poor Mandy, what a way to find out they’re married… #Emmerdale," @teenamassam commented.
