Emmerdale's Vinny Dingle is in court in Thursday's unmissable episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Having lied to Mike, who's in court for his evil catfishing crimes, Vinny's got to bite the bullet and tell the truth.

He's sworn to himself that he'll give a full account of what happened when Mike lured him into his web only to attack him and blackmail him not long after.

At the heart of the issue is Vinny's secret sexual confusion which has haunted him for months now.

He hasn't wanted Gabby, his now wife, to know that in a heated moment, he tried to kiss his best mate Kammy and has been left questioning his sexuality ever since.

If Vinny tells the truth, explaining that Mike pretended to understand his plight, his secret is out there.

In the witness box, Vinny takes a deep breath and is about to recount his most intimate secret when Gabby walks in.

Though she's harbouring a secret indiscretion of her own, she's grown suspicious about why Vinny's been so jittery and weird lately.

Will his wife's arrival see Vinny do a u-turn on his decision to shop Mike?

At the hospital, the problem escalates as the police and social services become involved.

Rhona suspects her stepdaughter who's about to confess all when she spots the coppers and flees.
