Priya believes the dust has settled on her doomed dalliance with Max, and is focusing on her future with Ravi. Thankfully, Ravi hasn’t done the maths and worked out the baby she’s carrying might not be his, and the couple are all smiles after their latest scan.

Chatting about their new arrival on the tube, Priya and Ravi don’t realise Cindy is in the same carriage and has overheard! She’s seething that Ravi has forgiven Priya, and their conversation about becoming parents again piques her suspicions.

On a mission to find proof of the baby’s paternity, snooping Cindy soon strikes gold when she discovers the DNA test results…

"Cindy is the queen of keeping secrets, which makes her well placed to find out other people’s," says our insider.

"Having discovered the baby is actually Max’s, Cindy corners Priya and tells her if she doesn’t get out of town immediately, the truth will be exposed! And Cindy’s not a woman to make empty threats…"

While panicked Priya ponders how to play it, Cindy gets home to find Lauren and Peter have invited Max over to try and make amends after all the recent drama.

Unsurprisingly, warring newlyweds Max and Cindy are soon at each other’s throats over him dumping her hours after they tied the knot!

The next day, Priya defiantly tells Cindy she’s going nowhere, but her resolve is shaken after comments from Linda and Oscar. Is sticking around really the wisest move?

Meanwhile, another row erupts between Cindy and Max when she publicly announces she’s going to rinse him for everything he’s got! But someone else is soon in Cindy’s sights…

"Cindy gets wind of the fact that Lauren knew about Max’s affair before the wedding, and let it go ahead," reveals our spy. "Spiteful Cindy makes sure everyone finds out that Lauren was in on the betrayal, knowing full well that will cause problems for her and Peter."

In a vengeful mood, Cindy rounds off the week with an ominous warning to Ravi - what has she said to Priya’s partner?
