Charley though thinks Debbie should confess everything

Emmerdale star Charley Webb has revealed that Debbie Dingle is living in fear that it will come out in court that she was behind the vicious acid attack on Ross Barton.

Charley, 30, told TV Times: “I don’t think there are any words to describe how Debbie feels about it. She’s totally terrified that Simon will reveal that she was behind the attack. She also hates the thought of Ross having to sit there and face his attacker.”

Charley goes on to say Ross would be “devastated” if he knew the truth.

“Debbie knows that he’d be completely devastated. He loves her, and she loves him. They’ll always have a special connection and she’s terrified about him finding out what she’s done.”

So, what advice would Charley give Debbie?

“I would tell Debbie to confess everything. She should never have got Simon to do her dirty work for her, but I don’t think she knew what else to do. This lie is eating her up.”

And Charley says she'd love Ross and Debbie to work things out. "But he's been so physically and mentally damaged by the attack that I'm not sure what Debbie can do to make things right."

Emmerdale continues on ITV.
