Emmerdale confirms DI Malone's real identity - and it's very bad news for Cain
Quick, someone call the Line of Duty team!
In true Line of Duty style, Emmerdale revealed their newest team member, DI Malone (Mark Womack), to be a complete and utter toe-rag.
He's certainly not a straight-forward police man as Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) knows all too well.
It all started in the aftermath of the Rustlers at Butler's Farm, which saw Nate Robinson non-fatally shot.
The handgun that behind the attack was not only unmarked, but it has a very dodgy history behind it.
DI Malone was drafted in with his team to search Emmerdale for the weapon, but to no avail.
