Christmas has come early in Scott’s household as he dresses up as an elf and celebrates the day early by going full-on Chrismas now that he’s learnt that Vicky plans to spend the festive period with her mum. 

Scott is really looking forward to treating Vicky on Boxing Day and has splashed on on tickets for the two of them to go to a Boxing Day panto. 

However, when he tells Vicky what he’s got lined up she has some very upsetting news.
