EMMERDALE viewers have insisted that the soap has "lost the plot" over its latest baffling decision.

Fans of the ITV soap opera could not believe what they we're seeing when a bombshell reveal showed that one unlikely Dales resident had seemingly discovered the truth about Anthony Fox's murder.

During the latest episode, Aaron Dingle and John Sugden could be seen discussing how to move forward after Anthony's disappearance and death.

Aaron killed him in a fit of rage after discovering he sexually abused his daughter, Ruby.

He later called on boyfriend John to help clear up the mess with the former solider disposing of the body.

In order to make it appear as though Anthony chose to leave the Dales himself, Aaron and John stole his car and began to scrap it as well as removing all the belongings from his home in order to convince everyone in the village that he had upped sticks and left.

However, as the pair discussed what they had got up to - it seemed that someone was listening in to their conversation.

As Aaron and John walked away from the garage, the camera focused in on a closed upstairs window of a nearby house.

Fans then saw Manpreet Sharma peer outside worriedly having apparently overheard the discussion.

But fans were quick to blast the "unrealistic" soap for Manpreet having heard a conversation some distance away outside through her own tightly-shut bedroom window.

One fan penned: "….she’s got brilliant hearing then!?!?  Unbelievable."

Another added: "Emmerdale has lost the plot with a terrible plot!!"

A third went on to say: "No way she'd of heard them. With the wind - maybe she’s gonna be suspicious of them talking together late at night hope they make something up say they were having a [lovers] tiff."

Before a fourth added: "Not a chance she could have heard them from there."

It remains to be seen just how much Manpreet heard and what she will do with the killer information.

Could Aaron and John have been well and truly caught out."
