Jack and Stacey's betrayal was finally exposed this week, with Jack's wife Denise Fox (Diane Parish) insisting on a divorce in the aftermath. Stacey, meanwhile, has been disowned by her relatives.

As these pictures reveal, a row soon erupts when Lauren and cousin Penny (Kitty Castledine), Jack's eldest daughter, make their disgust over Jack and Stacey's affair known.

Poor Lauren has already had enough drama from Stacey to last a lifetime, with Stacey having had an affair with Lauren's father Max (Jake Wood) and marrying his son Bradley (Charlie Clements).

Years later, while married to Martin Fowler (James Bye), Stacey and Max had another fling!

Max was left broken when his many misdeeds at the time, including said fling, were exposed once more. This led him onto the roof of The Queen Vic, where Lauren and her sister Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) fell, resulting in Abi's death.

So, it's safe to say that Lauren will be more than a little fed up and furious over Stacey's latest antics with yet another Branning bloke!
