With Mark's marriage to Elly Conway already on the rocks over her shock wedding day confession she cheated on him with his sister Chloe, Mark makes it clear to his mum Fay that he can never take back a woman he can't trust.

But will Mark stay true to his word after Elly drops the shock bombshell she is pregnant! Could a baby reunite the troubled couple?
