As Mandy Dingle struggles to scrape together the cash for a bigger share in the salon, Paul is being particularly unhelpful.

And with Vinny Dingle's suspicions mounting over the last few weeks, eventually he confronts his dad and asks outright if he's been gambling again - but nothing can prepare him for Paul's reaction.

When Mandy later finds Vinny bloody and bruised, will he tell her the truth about what happened?
