Emmerdale's Sam Dingle speaks out in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30 pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

In the Woolpack, the Dingles have spent the night talking. Lydia has listened as 12 of her relatives gave their alibis for the night her rapist, Craig Reed, was killed.

But flashbacks have revealed that each and every one of them was lying. And with no one having admitted to being responsible for the murder, Lydia feels deceived.

It's all too much for Lydia who can't bear that someone is lying. The fragile Dingle wife is in bits and her husband Sam just can't take it.

The family is stunned when Sam steps forward, admitting that he hasn't given the full facts about what happened after he and Cain took Craig hostage.
