Emmerdale reveal a huge Dingle bombshell in the opening episode of ITVX

Tina reappeared at her father Zak’s (Steve Halliwell) funeral and hurled such nasty insults at her relatives that she was shoved into the dirt by sister-in-law Lydia (Karen Blick).

As Woolpack’s cleanup of the wake began, Sam (James Hooton) hoped his sister Tina wouldn’t return, joking that if she showed her face again, he’d put his wife on her!

And Tina actually made another appearance, showing up at Mandy’s (Lisa Riley) salon to show off her now-tagless ankle, after the police took her to the grave last week for breaking her ring curfew

Mandy looked worried as Tina talked to Vinny and urged her adopted son to leave while she talked to Tina.

But when Mandy tried to get rid of Tina, Tina became fierce and insisted she had “a special interest” in the village.

Tina noted that she had a stake in Zak’s house, but added that she had come for “everything that’s mine.”

Mandy was shocked when Tina declared that the house, and she son, it belonged to him!

Official spoilers had revealed that Tina would threaten to reveal Vinny’s true parentage if Mandy didn’t back up her claim about Wishing Well cottage, and now we know that he is, in fact, Tina’s biological son!

This means that Vinny was actually Zak’s grandson, that Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) is his aunt, and that Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Sam are Vinny’s uncles!

This is quite an addition to the Dingle family tree. Will Tina tell Vinny the truth?
