Emmerdale's Dan Spencer violently assaults Amelia's stalker Lloyd in Wednesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Amelia has been making a name for herself on social media, but in the process has also gained an unwanted admirer - Lloyd.

The sleazy fan gave Amelia a scare by trapping her in the salon and then continued to bombard her with texts. Lloyd even discovered where the young beautician lived then slipped a handwritten note through her front door. Yikes!

Dan was livid when he discovered what had been going on and wasted no time in confronting his daughter's tormentor.

The protective dad believed his threats were enough to put the frighteners on Lloyd and get him to leave his girl alone.

Unfortunately, it turns out he was wrong.

Undeterred by Dan's warning to back off, sinister Lloyd turns up at the village church.

Amelia is clearly scared to come face-to-face with him again, but Lloyd tries to explain his creepy behaviour.

Moments later, Dan sees Lloyd and Amelia together and the red mist descends.

Marching over from outside the garage, the furious mechanic confronts Lloyd, demanding to know what he's playing at.

With emotions running high, Dan loses his temper and punches Lloyd hard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.

Witnessing the fracas, Cain rushes over to find Lloyd's lifeless body.
