It’s the day of Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) and Leela Lomax’s (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) not so secret wedding in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).

However, the Big Day gets off to an inauspicious start when Joel wakes up hungover after overdoing it on the booze the night before with his mum, Marie Fielding (Rita Simons) and brother, Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti).

A concerned Leela is worried that with Joel in such a state the wedding might not be able to go ahead.

Meanwhile Leela’s daughter, Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) is livid that her mum didn’t tell her that the ‘lunch’ that close friends and family have been invited to, is actually a secret wedding.

She’s even more annoyed to discover that other villagers knew before she did.

Later, Joel spots his ex, Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) and the two of them have a heart to heart about recent events.

However, Abe spies the two of them talking and is immediately suspicious, as is Joel’s mum Marie.

What are Joel and Cleo hiding?

And has something happened between them?

Over at the McQueens, mouthy Marie tells Abe that Leela isn’t right for Joel.

Is Marie going to disrupt the imminent nuptials, or will she stay quiet for the sake of her son?

As guests arrive at The Dog , Joel and Leela reconcile and the wedding is all set to go ahead.

That is until Marie turns up with another spanner in the works!
