When Tina Dingle rocked up to Zak's funeral, demanding her share of her dad's estate the family reared up in horror.

None more so than Mandy Dingle who wasn't just worried about the clan's coffers. She was petrified that Tina would reveal that she is Vinny's biological mum. A fact none of them know, especially her beloved boy who she's raised as her own.

Tina has been blackmailing Mandy to help her get her mitts on what's rightfully hers and has demanded she produce Zak's will.

In the Woolpack, Mandy hates herself as she hands over the document.

Will the Dingles find out about her betrayal? And will Tina shut up now she's got what she wants?
