CONTROL freak Archie Mitchell torches an emotional letter from his daughter Ronnie to her baby’s father.

Archie, who forced Ronnie to give up the baby for adoption when she was a teenager, is trying to stop her tracing the child.

He doesn’t like the fact that she has written to her ex-boyfriend Joel to find out what happened to their baby.

So he sets fire to the letter before telling her he knows what’s best for her.

An insider said: “According to her dad, Ronnie’s daughter died when she was a little girl.

“But Ronnie can’t trust what he says so starts digging. She writes to her ex but Archie finds out and puts a stop to her investigations before they’ve begun.

“Poor Ronnie is heart-broken. She just wants to get to the truth.”
