Though Aaron, Mack and John have tried to stop the broke dad from secretly competing in these dangerous unlicensed matches, he won't. And he can't.

Head honcho Jade arrives in the village and literally strong-arms him into taking part.

At the venue, as she outlines the rules of the fight, Billy's horrified but unable to back out.

When Mack arrives at the warehouse, suspecting Billy has gone ahead with the booking, he's sickened to discover what is about to unfold in front of a baying, aggressive crowd…

Who's Billy's opponent?

After calling Jimmy to tell him what is going on, Nicola spots the remote controlled truck Tom gave Carl has been put in the bin.

Knowing how much Carl loved the toy, Nicola is more convinced than ever that she is on to something and takes it up with Carl.

When Tom later returns there's hell to pay as Nicola tears into him accusing him of bullying Carl.

Will Tom manage to talk his way out trouble? Could this be the start of his 'Nice Guy' image slipping as folk begin to realise Belle Dingle has been telling the truth all along?

Will Nicola make good on a threat to call the police?
