This CHARMING MAN...

Leanne swoons over newcomer Rowan - but is she dicing with danger?

- ALISON SLADE

She may have an engagement ring on her finger, but Leanne’s relationship with Nick is hardly in sparkling form.

This week, as Nick continues to drag his heels about getting spliced, Leanne has her head turned by a man called Rowan, a so-called ‘wellness mentor’. Hmm, is that the sound of soapland’s alarm bells ringing?

The reason for the couple’s rocky patch is Lea covering up her son Simon’s drinking and, as a result, putting Nick’s son Sam at risk. As the week kicks off, Simon prepares for his court appearance, having recently crashed his mum’s car while on the sauce and with young Sam in the passenger seat.
