And with her morning sickness making her miserable, the mum-to-be quits her job at Prima Donner next week as the smell of the kebab meat makes her sick.

But when she arrives at the Rovers, she is feeling teary over Chesney, so Ryan takes pity on her and guides her to the back room for a heart-to-heart.

As Gemma tells Ryan that she misses Chesney, he offers her a shoulder to cry on and tells her that she should talk to Chesney and try to give their romance another go.

But as Gemma and Ryan emerge from the back of the pub, Chesney sees the pair and jumps to the wrong conclusion.

He confronts Gemma about what she has been up to with Ryan, leaving her mortified that he thinks so little of her and, deeply hurt, she dashes out of the pub.

Chesney realises that he got totally the wrong end of the stick and kicks himself for being so judgemental… but has the damage already been done?
