Earlier on, Marlon spots Laurel walking through the village and immediately recognises she's been drinking. He takes her back to her's, but is taken-aback by what she does next!

His ex is so desperate for a drink she even tries to seduce him and asks him to join her in having another cheeky drink. Marlon is disgusted and gives Laurel a stern talking to. She needs to sort herself out and fast!

But Laurel is really struggling and the pressure of dealing with Ashley's Alzheimer's and their young children is all too much. She comes to a decision.

Heartbroken, she tells Ashley she can no longer be with him. Her hubby is utterly devastated and tries to talk her round.
