What did Nicola do in the back garden?

The couple gathered in the back garden to discuss the matter and try to find a way to prove their innocence.

As Nicola hung the washing on the line, she said: “There’s no way that big wad of cash in these pictures came from selling scrap.”

“I hate to think of Aaron lying to me, he’s a mate!” Jimmy replied.

Those halfwits have dragged you into something dodgy. It plays right into Juliette’s hands!

But Nicola was furious.

She said: “Those halfwits have dragged you into something dodgy. It plays right into Juliette’s hands!

“I want the organ grinder not the monkey! Juliette isn’t messing around, she’s going low, so we need to think of something and quick.”

Despite the tension in the storyline, viewers only had one thing on their minds – why was Nicola hanging out the washing in freezing cold weather?

How did viewers react?

It wasn’t long until viewers took to Twitter to express their dismay.

One viewer fumed: “Is Nicola honestly thinking that washing will dry in a fog bank?”
