It came after a flirty lunch with Isaac, where she admitting things hadn’t been right between the two in months.
Confessing to Jay, she said: “We need to talk. I love you, I really really love you but we’ve been drifting apart from before lockdown.
“I know you feel it too, know it’s my fault, I slept with Peter.
“We were broken up, or at least I thought we were and I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to lose you and I still don’t.
“I’m sorry. Jay I’m so sorry. Say something, please.”
Stunned by her confession, Jay turned away and walked out – leaving Lola in tears.

Will Jay move on from Lola?
Some viewers are convinced their split could result in a new romance for Jay and Honey Mitchell.
During lockdown, it became clear that Honey and Jay had grown closer. And after Honey was drugged by date Paul recently, Jay was there to support her.
Meanwhile, back in August, fans started to predict their would be an affair between the two.
The potential romance will no doubt cause a stir as Jay shares a close bond Honey’s ex Billy.
