But when he looks through his call history – he’s shocked to remember he called his friend Gerry at the same time his argument with Chrissie erupted in the car.

Knowing that this voicemail holds the truth about what happened on that fateful car journey, Lachlan’s desperate to get his hands on Gerry’s phone.

Little do the gathered villagers realise, he’s actually making the most of everyone being gathered in the church so he can sneak into Gerry’s house unseen.

Lachlan gets his hands on the phone and listens to the incriminating voicemail – realising that he’s definitely going to get locked up for causing the accident if anyone hears it.

With Thomas Atkinson, who plays cold-hearted Lachlan, set to leave the ITV drama this year, could this be part of his exit from the village?
