Back on the Street, a furious showdown followed between the Platts. Before long, an under-siege David was also forced to confess that he visited Clayton and told him that Shona didn’t want to see him.

She added: “What is important for me about David and Shona is that they can both really mess up, but that love that they have is so strong. But can they overcome that? I don’t know. All those secrets come to the forefront on Christmas Day.”
