Emmerdale Reveals Who Gabby Slept With as Vinny Betrayal Comes to Light
Emmerdale delivered a bombshell in Friday’s episode, as Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) finally confessed to cheating on her husband Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson). The revelation shocked her stepmother Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) and confirmed fans’ suspicions that Gabby had been hiding a damaging secret.
Gabby’s Guilt Eats Away
During a heart-to-heart with Laurel, Gabby admitted that she betrayed Vinny while they were still engaged. She explained that the affair wasn’t with anyone from the village, but with a man she met while away in Portugal.
Calling it a “terrible mistake”, Gabby said she couldn’t live with the guilt, especially as Vinny continues to show her love and kindness: “Every time Vinny does something sweet or kind or caring like he always does, it makes it even worse.”
Who Was the Mystery Man?
Gabby revealed more details, telling Laurel that during her trip to Portugal she got drunk after an emotional conversation with her mum Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles). Bernice had questioned whether Vinny was really “the one” for her, sparking doubts.
Gabby admitted she ended up sleeping with the barman at the venue they were drinking in. While she dismissed him as “some randomer in a bar”, the betrayal still weighs heavily on her conscience.
Laurel quickly realised this could explain Bernice’s odd behaviour before the wedding—hinting that she knew about Gabby’s fling and wanted to stop the ceremony from going ahead.
Will Vinny Find Out?
Laurel urged Gabby to come clean, warning her that honesty was the only way forward if she truly loved Vinny. But Gabby refused, insisting she’d pretend it never happened.
Her decision sets up dangerous territory: with Bernice already in the know, and Laurel now holding the secret too, the truth may not stay buried for long. If Vinny finds out from someone else, the fallout could destroy their marriage before it has really begun.
Final Word: A Marriage Built on Secrets
Gabby may think she can bury her mistake, but in the world of Emmerdale, secrets always have a way of surfacing. With Bernice already hinting at her knowledge and Laurel torn over whether to protect Vinny, it’s only a matter of time before the betrayal explodes.
The real question is—when Vinny learns the truth, will their marriage survive?
