EMMERDALE fans were left furious tonight as Debbie Dingle was found not guilty for her part in Ross Barton's acid attack.
Arriving back home with Cain and Faith, Debbie received a hero's welcome from her family who cheered and hugged her after learning the verdict.

"I swear Debbie could go on the rampage killing everyone in the village in front of Judge Rinder and still get away with it #TeflonDebbie #Emmerdale.
"This was #Emmerdale's perfect opportunity to give Debbie's character a shake up but surprise surprise it was swerved. They could have given her community service even, but nope.
"WOW! Surprise surprise Debbie got off.. Bloody typical! 🤬🤦🏼♀️🙄 #Emmerdale #Robron."
Debbie was arrested in October for arranging the acid attack that saw Ross Barton scarred for life.
Fans of the ITV soap know that Debbie – played by Charley Webb – paid local drug dealer Simon McManus to ‘wipe the smile’ off of Joe Tate’s face after he conned her into believing he was called Tom Waterhouse and had fallen in love with her.
Joe was actually scheming to ruin Debbie in revenge for her mum Charity Dingle killing his dad, Chris Tate – which she didn’t actually do.
But in a tragic case of mistaken identity, it was Ross who bore the brunt of the attack after stealing one of Joe’s cars.
And, while Debbie just wanted Simon to rough Joe up a bit, the dealer took it a step too far and hurled a corrosive liquid at his target.
Neither Ross or Joe wanted Debbie to get in trouble for her part in the attack, with Joe even paying Simon £100k to keep her name out of it.
But when Ross decided to get justice and force Simon to confess to the police, he told them Debbie had instigated the attack.
She was arrested and held on remand, before being granted bail.
