Emmerdale's Amy Wyatt is in bits as her son speaks out in Wednesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm – see our TV Guide for full listings).

Amy Wyatt, Moira Dingle and the rest of the killer cover-up crew have done all they can to protect Kyle.

But the little boy wants to tell the truth. 

At the police station, he reaffirms that it was he who shot Al Chapman, not his daddy Cain Dingle, who's been jailed for the crime.
