“Guilty, you honour, I plead guilty,” he said.
Amelia was horrified and Dan rushed home where Julie tracked him down.
Screaming at him in the village she revealed that Lloyd had died - with the realisation that he now faces a murder charge.
He told Will: “I thought I’d done the right thing pleading guilty but I’ve just made everything a million times worse. I had to face up to what I did.”

As Amelia walked in furious with her dad, she started ranting, forcing Dan to tell her: “Lloyd’s dead. I killed him.”
He added: “I couldn’t lie anymore. It just didn’t feel right. I let him get inside my head and he wound me up.
“Lloyd didn’t lash out. He said some horrible things but it was me who snapped. It wasn’t self-defence. I threw that punch in anger. He’s dead because of me.”
The news means Dan likely faces life in prison for Lloyd’s death and viewers are shocked.
