Viewers know it was Dr Ali Neeson who came to Roy’s rescue after he suffered an allergic reaction.

But with Jude getting praise for saving Roy’s life after he suffered a bee sting and collapsed, he continued the lie and now he’s going to take it even further and take money from Roy.

As it becomes increasingly clear that Jude’s plan to become a paramedic is looking increasingly impossible, he refuses to accept it.

A source told The Sun: “When Jude is exposed as a pathological liar, Mary confronts him and tries to get to the bottom of why he does it.

“But when she tries to get answers, he gets physical with her and leaves her utterly terrified.

“She confides in Roy about how scared she is of him and admits her fears that he has got his father’s violent streak.”
