This comes as a devastating blow to David who has seen his brother as his life support since being released from prison.

Phil has given his sibling a place to live, an endless supply of money and sacrificed relationships to help get him back on his feet.

But it turns out this was all due to a guilty conscience.

The series concludes with David finally being reunited with his poor son and daughter – and a huge apology from his sister-in-law.

Opening up about the ITV drama, Daniel teased what viewers can expect when they tun in.

He told the Radio Times: “It doesn’t feel like a crime drama. It feels like a family drama, it feels like a relationship drama.

“It’s an emotional journey that happens to have this underlying need for us all to find out – ‘well if it wasn’t him then who was it?’

“But it’s about a man and his family and someone trying to get their kids back and that really spoke to me. I found it very moving.”
