Jamie (Alexander Lincoln) and Andrea Tate (Anna Nightingale) could be set for a dramatic split on the ITV soap after Andrea finally told her husband the truth about how they started dating.
Earlier in the week viewers discovered that Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) had initially paid Andrea to watch over Jamie when they studied at university together.
However Andrea began to develop feelings for Jamie and decided to cut all contact with Graham.
Andrea has kept this secret from Jamie despite the couple sharing a young daughter together.
Reluctantly, Graham and Kim Tate (Claire King) had agreed to keep her secret but Andrea decided Jamie deserved to know the truth.
However Jamie’s relationship with Kim is strained after years of being manipulated by his mum.
Upon his return to the Dales, Jamie made it clear he wanted nothing to do with Kim and was heartbroken to discover lies at the heart of his relationship.
Although Jamie initially told Andrea he was happy to stay he soon changed is mind and explained that he needed some space.
Is this the end for this Tate couple and could Andrea seek revenge on manipulative Kim?
