Emmerdale viewers have accused the ITV soap of 'misrepresenting' police officers' with its ongoing DI Malone (Mark Womack) storyline.
Fans of the ITV soap have seen Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) get bullied into doing a criminal job for DI Malone, after the corrupt copper threaten Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle )with a 10-year prison sentence over fake GBH charges.
With the dodgy detective very much on the wrong side of the law, Emmerdale fans have voiced their concern about the representation of "bent coppers" to broadcasting regulators Ofcom.
An Ofcom spokesperson told Digital Spy that it had received nine complaints about the storyline, confirming they related to how the plot involving police corruption was misrepresentative.
