However, her outfit was soon the least of Gail's worries when she discovered from Eileen that David has been trying to forget his marriage to Shona by getting flirty with Alina.

Gail was mortified to find out what her son had been getting up to in his spare time, and confronted him at home later that day.

But as usual David didn't want to hear a lecture from his mum and stormed out of the house in a huff.

However, David's new found love for daytime drinking soon left him in trouble when he was cornered by a gang of teenagers who threatened him for his wallet and phone.

David didn't take the mugging seriously until one of the lads got out a knife, making the dad of two realise that this was no joke.
