But all of this remains unknown to Martin's other ex-wife, Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton)...

As the day of Martin's funeral arrives, guilty Stacey continues to unravel and hits the bottle again.

And Stacey confides in Martin's other ex-wife, Sonia Jackson (Natalie Cassidy), that she can't face going to the funeral!

While the rest of Martin's family and friends gather together for his funeral, will Stacey really miss the opportunity to say a final goodbye to him?
