Martine Deveraux (Kelle Bryan) confides in Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood) about her cancer diagnosis in heartbreaking Hollyoaks scenes next week.
The soap stalwart, who recently won the Business Woman of the Year award, is upset when her hair starts falling out as a result of chemotherapy.
She confides in Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi), who recommends that she take some time off, but Martine isn’t slowing down, and even declines an offer of a spa night from Grace Black (Tamara Wall).
As the week progresses, however, Martine struggles to hide the side effects of her chemotherapy, as she stumbles through the village.
Onlookers jump to conclusions, assuming that she’s drunk.
Felix, however, is heartbroken to discover that she has cancer.
Martine tries to focus on something else, as she goes shopping for an outfit for a night out, but her hair falls out mid-try.
She subsequently breaks down over her hair loss, just as Felix shows up with her a bunch of her favourite flowers.
Martine opens up to her ex, and in touching scenes, he assists her in shaving her head, as they spend a heartfelt, but platonic, night together.
Grace, however, waits for Felix at home.
One to watch: Tuesday July 13 at 7pm on E4.
