It culminated in Rhona declaring their struggling marriage to be over in front of their friends and family.

But tonight it was clear the two were depressed at the thought of seriously splitting.

Viewers know that Rhona’s decision to turn on ex Gus and send him to prison for eight years out of revenge – despite him signing over baby Ivy to them – had left Marlon horrified.

Marlon asked her to attend marriage counselling with him so they could work through their issues – and surprisingly she agreed.

“I will do anything to save our marriage, anything,” she said.
