Emmerdale spoilers: Vinny Dingle's secret dad is in town

After Mandy insists on organising both Sam's stag and Lydia's hen, it's clear neither of them are getting the lowkey do they wanted.

Over at Sam's stag, things are getting off to a fun start but it's soon clear there's been a mix up when festivities are interrupted but a hunky masseur.

Marlon, Cain, Aaron, Jimmy, Pollard, Paddy and Vinny don't know where to look as Sam prepares for a less than relaxing massage from their unexpected guest.

Meanwhile, Mandy wants to take Lydia out for a night on the town but soon Mandy is arguing with the taxi driver and gets them both kicked out on the side of a dark country road.

In the confusion and the dark, Mandy loses sight of Lydia and ends up falling into a ditch. When she gets out some hours later, it's morning and Lydia is nowhere to be seen.

Hearing Lydia is home safe preparing for the big day, Mandy flags down a car and is horrified to see the driver is Paul, Vinny's father, who's come looking for his son.

A panicked Mandy tells Paul that Vinny is no longer living in Emmerdale and gets home another way. At the church, Lydia arrives, walked down the aisle by Zak.

Despite the chaotic night before, Samson is overwhelmed by how beautiful Lydia looks as she walks up the aisle toward him.

As they are married, everyone is in high spirits and later on Samson shares a touching moment with his dad.

At the reception, things are made properly official when Lydia and Vinny become part of the Dingle family by the ceremonious drinking from the Welly boot.

As Vinny takes his place among the party outside the Woolpack for the photos everyone is high spirits - except Mandy, who worries about the secret she's keeping from Vinny.

Across the road, Paul watches from his car and sees that Vinny is still very much a part of Emmerdale. What will he do to get Vinny back?

Elsewhere, Dan arrives home from hospital and insists to Amelia and Mandy that he can look after himself and they don't need to hang about.

But later on while trying to make a meal for himself, Dan has an accident and is left crying out in agony. Will anyone hear him?

Meanwhile, Vanessa and Charity get a lift to the chemo unit to start Vanessa's therapy but far from being reassured, they end up even more vulnerable and worried.

Belle is shocked when Jamie tells her that he can't fight his feelings for her and is going to leave Amelia for her, but soon kisses him back.

Elsewhere, Paddy is determined to keep up appearances and pretend that all is well with Chas.
