As though the Dingle family hasn’t been through enough in Emmerdale lately, it has been confirmed by soap bosses that another shock death will wrack the ITV village around Christmas time.
The famous family lost two of their own in the last few months, with matriarch Faith Dingle killed off after a battle with terminal breast cancer.
Youngster Liv Dingle, meanwhile, was killed by a flyaway caravan during the 50th anniversary storm week, which saw her trapped beneath the vehicle. She died in her husband Vinny’s arms – leaving fans devastated.
