Emmerdale's Manpreet and Vinny make escape plan in Meena plot

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale offers fresh hope for Manpreet Sharma and Vinny Dingle tonight (January 10) as they try to team up against Meena Jutla.

Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) and Vinny (Bradley Johnson) are both now being held captive by Meena after discovering her sinister secrets.

In Monday's episode, Vinny regains consciousness at the abandoned barn after being knocked out by Meena in last week's big cliffhanger.

Meena is keeping a close eye on both of her victims and is quick to start quizzing Vinny over how much his family may know about his whereabouts.

Later, once Meena has left for a while, it's time for Manpreet and Vinny to compare notes.

Vinny has only figured out that Meena murdered Ben Tucker, but Manpreet explains that she was also responsible for the deaths of Nadine, Leanna Cavanagh and Andrea Tate.

Vinny is horrified and fears for his life as it dawns on him that Meena is a serial killer and there may be no way out.

Fortunately, Vinny soon remembers that he has keys in his pocket and they may be able to use them to help free themselves.

Seeing Manpreet's condition deteriorating, Vinny kicks the keys over to her and encourages her to free herself – just as Meena arrives back.

Will Vinny and Manpreet manage to keep their secret, or will Meena stay one step ahead as always?

Paige Sandhu, who plays Meena, recently explained: "When Manpreet tried to run away on New Year's Eve, all bets were off and Meena felt very betrayed.

"That was a moment when that tiny bit of empathy she felt towards Manpreet that stopped her from committing the heinous crimes she did to other people without a thought, just disappears. She no longer feels any guilt or anything to stop her."

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
