But while they might have found comfort in one another's arms while their relationships at home break down, the fall out from their affair is set to have shocking consequences.

The secret is out

Until now, Paul Robinson has been the only one in the know about the fling, having caught them together while they shared a night of passion at the hotel.

However, the secret pair's lies have started to unravel before their eyes after Jane caught them kissing earlier this week.

Despite the fact Dipi managed to convince her friend that it was her husband Shane that she was with, the near miss reminded Pierce and Dipi of what they had to lose if their affair came out.

But next week the affair is set to be revealed, and on Friday 4th December Neighbours will air a special episode dedicated entirely to this storyline.
