Emmerdale’s latest episode saw Clemmie Fletcher come clean after calling social services on her mum’s boyfriend.

Recently, Clemmie has been struggling at Home Farm after mistrusting Dawn Fletcher’s boyfriend Joe Tate.

Things have been anything but smooth sailing for the couple after a chaotic few weeks culminated in Dawn pushing Joe out of an upstairs window.

Joe threatened Clemmie when she discovered his affair with Dawn earlier this month. This pushed Clemmie to make a call to social services after she worried Joe would start to have more of a role in her life.

In tonight’s episode, Clemmie told Billy Fletcher: “I don’t like living with Joe. I want you and Dawn to get back together.”

Clemmie then shyly explained what she’d done, saying: “I told the social worker I’m scared of him. I called them yesterday. They’ll be able to get rid of him, won’t they?”

Meanwhile, a social worker had arrived at the house to discuss a reported “safeguarding issue” concerning the youngster. She interviewed Dawn and Joe about whether there might be any reason Clemmie would be unsafe in the house.

As the interview was about to conclude, Billy and Clemmie arrived, with Clemmie apologising to her mum.

“I’m sorry,” she said, confirming it was her who called social services. “I thought if Joe left then things would go back to how they were. Am I in trouble?”

The grown-ups told her she was not in trouble. After she left the room, Billy tried to explain how Joe scared her with their argument the other week.

“Did you put her up to this?” Dawn asked Billy, adding, suggesting it was “maybe to get back at Joe”.

Outraged at the suggestion, Billy responded: “What, and risk putting my kids into care? Look, I know I’ve done some stupid things in my life, but I’d never do that. You need to have a look at yourself because everything about you and Joe is completely messed up.”

Will Clemmie be able to accept her mum’s new relationship or will it just cause more drama for the family?
