Emmerdale has been hit with Ofcom complaints over Paul’s violent attack on son Vinny.
In the episode, which aired Wednesday, October 21, Vinny confronted his dad over stealing money from the Dingle family and taking Ellis’s expensive watch.
In the scenes which took place at the scrapyard, Vinny forced Paul to admit what he did. However things soon took a violent turn when Paul knocked his son to the ground.
Afterwards he fled the scene, whilst poor Vinny was left in shock on the ground.
But it appears some viewers weren’t happy with the scenes, which took place during the 7pm screening.
Ofcom’s weekly report reveals 11 people complained about Emmerdale on the Wednesday.
