viewers believe they’ve figured out the next romantic interest for Vinny Dingle, played by Bradley Johnson, and it’s set to be quite controversial.
Vinny, the adopted son of Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley), has been a key character in the soap, involved in numerous major storylines over the years.
His turbulent relationship with his biological father, Paul Ashdale, and the tragic death of his wife Liv (Isobel Steele) have kept fans gripped. Last year, Vinny began a romance with long-time friend Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), marking a significant change in his love life.
However, recent episodes suggest that Gabby’s attention may be shifting towards Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), who returned to the Dales in December after a six-year absence.
With a potential breakup looming for Gabby and Vinny, fans speculate that Vinny’s next love interest could be closer to home than expected.

viewers have taken to social media to propose a potential romance between Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Vinny, despite the recent revelation that Belle is technically Vinny’s aunt through his biological mother Tina Dingle (Samantha Power).
On an Facebook fan page, a disgruntled fan lamented: “So that’s Gabby and Vinny splitting up soon then! Poor Vinny.”
Other fans were quick to join the speculation, with one suggesting: “Hopefully he’ll finally get with Belle!” Wile another added: “No! You do realise they are related. She is his aunt…”

However, not everyone was discouraged by the family connection, as one fan retorted: “I’ve said it for years they are good together! It didn’t stop Cain and Debbie back in the day!”
Another agreed: “They are sweet and it has happened before.”, reports Leicestershire Live.
