After her initial plan to build a giant platform from patio furniture for Vinny to crawl through a bedroom window failed, the noise drew Beth out of the house.

But as Mandy hid behind a car to avoid being caught, another older woman followed and Mandy listened intently as Beth called her "mum".

Viewers know that Beth and Lydia's mum Agatha is alive and well and Beth just lied wanting to trick Lydia to go away.

But fans were enraged by Mandy not leaping into action and immediately confronting both women.
