In tonight’s episode his son Vinny discovered the truth and confronted him about it.
Viewers know Vinny endured a childhood of neglect with Paul over his gambling addiction – and was only saved when Mandy Dingle came into his life.
So when Vinny found a betting slip, he confronted Paul and demanded he tell Mandy the truth and seek help.
However Paul refused and turned violent.
“Why are you trying to hurt me?” he said to his son.
“I can not tell her. And if you do you’ll be ruining your mother’s happiness.
“You’re a kid, what do you know? You’re not going to ruin this for me. “
He chased Vinny through the house to grab his phone, causing a terrified Vinny to fall and hit his head.
As Vinny curled up terrified, his glasses broken, Paul told him: “Now that’s your own fault for grassing me up.”
Vinny shouted: “Don’t you dare come near me. I know what you were going to do Paul, just go.”
