Emmerdale has announced plans for the Dingle family to take centre stage in a special set of episodes.

The long-running soap will break from its usual format later in the autumn, as a major new plot involves all of the key players in the Dingle clan.

Show producer Laura Shaw shared the news with Digital Spy and other media at an Emmerdale press event this week.

Shaw explained: "We know they're one of our favourite families in soap and we're going to be doing something a little bit special with the Dingles coming up.

"I think pretty much all the Dingles are going to be involved and the episodes were filmed in a slightly different way from our usual style. True to form, we've played with the format a little bit."

She added: "There's going to be lots of secrets being revealed and all the cast and crew that have been involved in the filming of it have been absolutely raving about it.

"Having seen the final episodes myself last week, I think it's going to be very memorable."

Further details of the special week of episodes and the mysterious new storyline will be revealed later this month.

Fans have already seen plenty of drama for the family recently, with Cain Dingle and his half-brother Caleb Miligan currently keeping a mystery person captive at Wylie's Farm.

Meanwhile, Chas Dingle is growing closer to gangster Harry as she's unaware of his true identity.

Elsewhere, Lydia Dingle will confide in her loved ones next week as she shares details of her ordeal with Craig Reed in powerful scenes.
