ITV Emmerdale under fire as Woolpack problem spotted after Marlon's blunder

Emmerdale came under fire tonight as fans spotted an issue with the Woolpack.

The latest episode of the long-running soap continued to explore the turbulent ownership of the iconic pub.

Marlon Dingle was delighted in the opening segment of the show when Al agreed to his Christmas lunch promotion to offer diners a free glass of Champagne.

However, the character played by Mark Charnock was horrified when guests started showing up expecting a full bottle.

Marlon eventually opened up about the promotion blunder to Chas, but she discovered Al had actually sabotaged the promotion to stitch them up.

A thrilled Al doled out the free Champagne to customers as a power play in his battle for control of the iconic pub.

His plan to wind Chas up succeeded when she threw a bottle at the wall and proceeded to lash out at Nicola.

Officer Swirling was also in the bar and showed concern at Chas' volatile behaviour, which left Al confident that he had finally defeated the Dingles.

However, viewers following the show on Twitter were distracted throughout the episode as they pointed out how empty the bar was despite the enticing deal.

Ryan said: "Marlon may be offering free booze but the pub is still dead as a doornail."

Gavin commented: "The Wooly's still empty even tho they're giving it away!"

@BrixhamUK added: "So much for promoting the business with a special meal and free drink. There were all of four people in the Woolpack."

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays
