This comes amid Manpreet\u2019s blackmail torment, with a mystery figure threatening over her online secret.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle-1st\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>But Manpreet\u2019s blackmailer isn\u2019t the only one who knows she\u2019s been posting steamy pictures of herself online \u2013 count Billy among that number too (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/03\/14\/billy-blackmailing-manpreet-emmerdale-drops-major-clue-hes-behind-her-torment\/\">unless he\u2019s the one who\u2019s been blackmailing her, of course<\/a>). As last week\u2019s episodes revealed, Billy knows all about Manpreet\u2019s account, and was highly disappointed when it was shut down.<\/p>\n<p>With Billy clearly harbouring feelings for Manpreet (if that\u2019s how you want to interpret his lecherous gaze), one wonders why he\u2019s with Dawn at all (the whole marriage and kids thing aside). Here\u2019s all the reasons so far that Billy should leave Dawn for Manpreet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026unless he\u2019s blackmailing her of course, in which case, shame on you, Billy.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:min-h-[300px]\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"ad-slot1\"><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24387\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24387\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24387\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/01\/03_02_emm_joe_dawn_kim_01-1024x750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dawn and Joe have been carrying on behind Billy\u2019s back for months (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Should Billy leave Dawn for Manpreet on Emmerdale?<\/h2>\n<h2>1.
