The revelation leads to Yazz and Mercedes having a heated argument.

Meanwhile, Prince McQueen’s (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) is stressing out because his job at Hollyoaks High is in jeopardy.

Last week there was drama when DeMarcus Westwood (Tomi Ade) was found passed out in the school after drinking alcohol that he’d found in a secret stash in the caretaker’s cupboard.

Prince, who is the school’s caretaker is immediately in the firing line for having booze stashed away but the true culprit is actually Deputy Head, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), whose drinking has spiralled dangerously out of control in recent weeks.

Will John Paul come clean and admit the truth? Or is he happy to sit back and let the blame fall on Prince’s shoulders?

Elsewhere, DeMarcus, who has since recovered after his scary passing out, shows his softer side.

He helps his friend Leah Barnes (Ela May Demircan) cover up an uncomfortable situation.
