0:01:04 > 0:01:06I was wondering about this celebrity you've booked.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- What celebrity?- It's a surprise.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10She's opening the fair.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12She?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Now, now, may I ask, would she be...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18a singer? Welsh? With a finger of gold?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20No, no, no. I shan't ask any more.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I don't want to get overexcited.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46DENISE LAUGHS
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Well, don't hide away in here. Go and have some fun.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- I'm not going out.- Well, your mum's still at Dot's,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51why don't you go and see her?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Oi, you don't have to if you don't want to.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- You feeling any better? - No, I just want to be left alone.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57OK, but your mum...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Look, can we just stop going on about Sonia, please?!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01I've had a weekend full of it, Stace.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Yeah, so have I. But she's her mum, all right?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06She just found out horrible things have happened to her daughter.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08She's going to be worried.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Shutting her out ain't going to help, Martin,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11it's just going to make it worse.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16DOOR OPENS
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Look what I've got. Mind you, I didn't win nothing.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26The man give it to me for being a good sport. Oh, it's got milk in it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30What's the matter?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Rebecca not been in touch?- Nope.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Must still be annoyed with me for Friday.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I should have handled it better. - Oh, don't go blaming yourself.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43But she has been through an awful lot lately.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Not that I know much about it, you know, I've only picked up
0:02:46 > 0:02:51bits and pieces, but it seems as if she's had a pretty bad time.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I should have insisted she came to Kettering with me.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Or given up the job and stayed here.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I don't think it had anything to do with you not being here, Sonia.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I mean, she was with her father.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Martin and Stacey, you know,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09they'll have kept an eye on her and they'd have given her
0:03:09 > 0:03:13all the support they could but, I mean, these things, they happen.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Then why did she call me? Why get me to come and see her?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I mean, clearly she wants her mum. But now I'm here...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22She's pushing me away.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Shame Dad's not here.- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Nothing says community fun day like Phil Mitchell(!) Oh, Jane!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Jane, lovely blooms. - Yeah, she did good, didn't she?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Well, Stacey did most of the work. - No, they're gorgeous.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- So, do you fancy having a go on my hook-a-duck?- How can I refuse?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49This way.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- What am I supposed to do with that? - Put it in your bed.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Use it to cuddle when I'm not about.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Actually, look, I can see a resemblance.- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Oh, remind me to pick up some baby oil for later.- You what?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09It's for the swimwear round. The bodybuilders use it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13If you play your cards right, I'll let you rub it on me.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19You are taking this whole contest thing a little bit seriously,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- don't you think?- Well...- Yeah. Oh, look, Kim, she was round earlier.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I tell you what, she was checking up on what I'm going to wear.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I swear to you, she had a pair of scissors in her pocket.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31If I were to turn my back long enough, I'd have no clothes left.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You know what it is? She's scared. All right?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Cos she knows that sash has got your name written on it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I love you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Sorry, I've got to go... I've got to check something at the Vic and...
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Johnny? That ain't straight. Bit higher.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- You OK?- Yeah, I got some cards already so it must be working.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, and I called the prison to see if they can have
0:05:18 > 0:05:20a word with Shirley too.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But I thought you said she weren't going to come.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yeah, well, if she's not going to come for Mum,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26then why can't she come for me?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28And why am I dressed like this?!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Come on then, kids, let's go and hunt some eggs.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40CHILDREN: Yeah!
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- We're all set for the contest. - Oh.- Mr or Miss Walford.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Loads of people have signed up. - Yeah, yeah... Should be great.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, we've had quite a few women, now, questioning that
0:05:52 > 0:05:55swimwear round and, to be honest, I don't know any more.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Isn't it a bit sexist? What do you think, Denise?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02About what?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03You OK?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, I've just... I've got to get somewhere.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Teen, what do you think? - Yeah, it looks great.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I think Mum would've loved the contest tonight.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19You never know, Teen.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22There's always time. Shirley could change her mind.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46We're just rehearsing. Well, it's only D.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You're going to be in front of a whole pub full of people.
0:06:49 > 0:06:56- Can I not just wear shorts?- Shorts? Shorts. Ian Beale, he wears shorts.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00You know what? Let's just put this one on, yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04It's going to be this one. It's the one that shows off your...assets.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- OK, can I...? Can I get dressed now?- Yes, you can.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Just remember, rehearse those lines, yeah?- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17"The happiest day of my life was when I married my beautiful, loving wife," yeah?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25I know what you're doing. Spying on the competition. But you know what?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I don't care, because we've got the crowns in the bag.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Yeah, but it's not crowns, it's sashes.- We can buy a crown.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Chris just told me he loves me. - Oh, D!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41No, not "D". I didn't say it back.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Why not?- Because I don't know... I weren't expecting it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- But you do love him though, don't you?- I don't know.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51How many men have said that they loved you, since Kevin,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and besides the serial killer?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ian don't count.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, I've got to just say it now because he said it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04It's not something that I actually say unless I really mean it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07So what happens if he gets annoyed that you haven't said it?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- And he dumps you? Hmm?- Well, then he can't really love me, can he?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14And if he really does love me, then...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You know, he'll understand that I've got to wait until
0:08:17 > 0:08:21it's right for me. Won't he?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Hiya.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36Stacey called me. Invited me over. Don't get mad at her.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41MUSIC PLAYS ON TV
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Look, I'm sorry that I upset you, but you and me,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49we've always been able to talk things through.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54SHE TURNS TV OFF
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I've spent the whole weekend sat round Dot's feeling guilty
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- for not being here for you. And I am sorry.- It's OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I like living with Stacey and Dad. We're a family.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16When I found out you were being bullied, I was so angry.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You need to know that none of this is your fault.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Why would I think it is my fault?! Wh...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I don't want to talk about it any more.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- Look, there's loads going on out there. We should go out.- No.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Your mates are out there. Louise is knocking about.- Mum...!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- What have I said now? - Will you just leave it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I only mentioned your friends.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47It would do you good to hang out with people that care about you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Bex...
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Bex, look at me.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58What is it?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Louise does know what's been going on, doesn't she?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Hang on...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Louise isn't one of the bullies, is she?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Is she?!
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Do want to come and have a go? Hook a duck and win a prize. No?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Oh.- There you go.- Cheers.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And I got you extra onions because I know that you love...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- I know that you like them.- Yeah.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- She's here.- Who?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, gu...
0:11:04 > 0:11:10- Where's the microphone? - It's here.- Thank you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Ladies and gents... Thank you, girls.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17..welcome to our Easter fayre.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm delighted to announce that we have
0:11:19 > 0:11:22a very special guest here with us today.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Do you know who it is yet?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Hope it's not that bloke she named her cat after.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Shh!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31..that I bring onto the podium our special guest...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33the Mayor of Walford.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- She's kidding, right?- She said a celebrity.- That's the mayor!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I thought it was going to be the woman who won the Bake Off.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43See, that would have been good.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Dear friends, hello and thank you for inviting me
0:11:48 > 0:11:51to your little corner of Walford.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54And do you know, when I heard about how you had all worked
0:11:54 > 0:11:59so valiantly to lift a bus from a trapped man,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I knew I had to come and meet you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Because that is precisely the spirit which speaks volumes about
0:12:06 > 0:12:08what it means to be a Londoner.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It reminds me of my childhood growing up
0:12:10 > 0:12:14in a community where everybody supports each other.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Hear, hear. - And it is community that matters.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Really? If it's what matters,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24why are you lot so intent on ripping it apart then?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Excuse me?
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- Go on. Go on.- Well... Well, you...
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You're talking about communities - bit rich, isn't it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Denise...not now. - No, no, she's entitled to her say.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39What it is - this childhood that you're talking about,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- weren't in Walford, was it?- No, but that's not the issue. The issue...
0:12:44 > 0:12:50No, what the issue IS is you trying to sound like you're one of us,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- one of the people. - I am one of the people.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56No, you're the woman with oversized bling round your neck,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and do you know what? You should be listening to us,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- cos it's us what voted for you. - I am always listening.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So why are you pulling down the tower blocks?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07People who've lived round here for years
0:13:07 > 0:13:10being shipped off so yous lot can cleanse the place.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14And then you're putting up new flats which no-one round here,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16who was born here, can actually afford.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And that new railroad is creating chaos. And as for the bins,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21we never know if they're going to be emptied one day to the next.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yeah, that's right.- Yeah, and you lot moving the market
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- and everything.- No, that... That's just a rumour.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27The mayor, she doesn't want to listen to that.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30No, of course she doesn't. She don't want to listen
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- to anything that we've got to say. - I am listening now.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Can you stop making assumptions?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Now, tell me, what is it about the bins?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Oh, where do you want us to start? - It's total chaos.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- There's foxes and rats running riot. - What do you think you're doing?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- What?- Sitting there like butter wouldn't melt. You know what.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Don't talk to her like that. - She has been bullying my daughter.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Bex has told me all about it. Making her life a misery.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Torturing her. Picking on her. Bex is in pieces!- You get away from her!
0:13:56 > 0:13:58And go back to Kettering...
0:13:58 > 0:14:02or wherever it is you went when you abandoned your precious daughter!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05BYSTANDERS GASP AND SHARON SCREAMS
0:14:10 > 0:14:12SHARON SPLASHES AND SPLUTTERS
0:14:20 > 0:14:22SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Shirley, isn't it?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm not interested.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I understand it's your mum's funeral tomorrow and...you're not going.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Like I said, I'm not interested.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Fair enough.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I just know what you're going through, that's all.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I didn't go to my mum's funeral either.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Hm. And don't tell me you regret it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00SHE LAUGHS Oh, no, no, not at all.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05But I think you might.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Anyway, if you change your mind,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12the chapel's two doors down from the canteen.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- OK.- I'm sorry but it WAS funny.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Yeah, well, I could have her for assault.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Well, you should have pulled her in with you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Listen, she took me by surprise.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I could take her on any day of the week.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- You so could. You were amazing. - Yeah, well, never mind that for now.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Is there any truth in what she said?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Well, you haven't been bullying Bex, have you?- Of course not.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Then what was she on about?- Bex just can't take a joke.- A joke?
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- I'm sorry but Bex doesn't lie. - Yeah, well, neither does Louise.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- It's not bullying.- Oh.- I just haven't been friends with her.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Oh, Louise.- It's your fault.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Your teenage boy toy getting into bed with her...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Don't go shifting the blame!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Sharon, I get linked with the wrong people and my social life is
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- just ruined.- Oh, and that's what's important, is it? Your social life?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Get out of my sight! - Well, hang on...- Just go!
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Go!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- You ain't making it up? - No, no, she pushed her straight in.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Now, why would she do that?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Now Louise is going to tell Alexandra and Madison
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- and everyone will know I've got a psycho mum.- Never mind about that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:34I want to know if it's true. Is Louise one of the bullies? Bex...
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Bex, come on, don't run away from me. I'm try to help you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Why didn't you tell me?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- I just want it all to go away. - Oh, Bex.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's all right.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I just can't believe Louise...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00After everything you've done for her.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I thought I could handle it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And I was just too embarrassed to tell you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Don't be stupid. Come here.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You are not on your own. All right? Never think that.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You've always got me and Stace.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And your mum.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Come here.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Was that really necessary? - Yeah, I couldn't help myself.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Laying into her, when she'd taken time out of her busy schedule
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- as a personal favour to me? - OK. I'm sorry,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41but she was winding me up. And I weren't the only one, was I?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44You embarrassed her, and in front of the Gazette as well.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And that's what is important, is it, how she feels?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50What about what you said after the bus crash,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53about community, and everyone sticking together?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You've been banging on about those bins for months,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59and now she says she's going to sort it because of Denise.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01You should be thanking her.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yeah, well,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07I suppose if she does do something about the bins, then...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- So, what time is the kick-off later? - Oh, 7.30.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Is it reserved seating, or just first come, first served?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, what, you're wanting a good view, are you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'm sorry to disappoint you, Billy,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- but the swimwear round is optional now.- Optional?!- Yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What sort of beauty contest is that?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Don't worry, Billy. Honey is still going to be in her bikini.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- What about Honey? - She signed up. Didn't you know?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Well, she can bloomin' well un-sign up, then.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'm not having my missus parading round
0:18:35 > 0:18:37so a load of blokes can perv over her.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Hello, Shirley.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Glad you came.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Don't be.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I just came to tell you to keep your dog collar out my business.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I think you might have already said that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm not going to regret not going.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Good to know.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Why didn't you go to your mum's funeral?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You're not the only one who hated their mother.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Trade you stories?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Just starting on the Vic accounts.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- I'm sorry. - Shouldn't you be saying that to Bex?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Come here.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You know how I told you about Michelle getting pregnant
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- when we were at school?- Yeah.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Well, it would have been easy for me to talk about her,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11like the rest of the kids, but I didn't.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Because she was my mate.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16And mates, they stick together, no matter what.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18And she's still my mate.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You've got no idea how much she's helped me through.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Do you really think that Alexandra and Madison are going to be
0:20:26 > 0:20:28your mates in, what, five, ten,
0:20:28 > 0:20:2920 years' time?
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Cos there's a girl round the corner who would be.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37A girl whose life you have helped make a misery.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Justify it to yourself all you like, Louise,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42but it is bullying. And I'm disgusted with you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45And do you know something?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Your dad would be too, if he knew.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I didn't mean for it to turn into a big thing.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I just saw Louise laughing and joking, and I saw red.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It's OK.- The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to them.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I know what I'm talking about.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I used to get called so many names when I played my trumpet.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- It's hardly the same, is it? - No, I know. I'm just saying.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Look, I hear what you're saying.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I need to be strong. I get that.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I'll put the kettle on. Make us all a drink.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Thanks, Bex. How can you compare your trumpet...?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23How have you let it develop into this, Martin?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Hey?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26She's terrified to leave the house.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29First thing in the morning, I'm going up the school,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- find out what they've got to say. - I've already done it, Son.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34They said there's nothing they can do.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Yeah, well, I won't be so easily put off.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43DOOR SLAMS
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's like I said.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48She was never a good mum to me.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Because of her, I wasn't a good mum to my own kids.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And she's been living with you?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That can't have been easy.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02How do you feel about her now she's dead?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I've hated her for years.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Don't make no difference now she's pegged it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Shirley...what you've been through is terrible.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18You're right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Sylvie was an awful mother.- But...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22No, no. No.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24No buts.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I mean, compared to her, my mum was like Mother Teresa.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35She did terrible things to you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39She ruined your young life.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44She was the exact opposite of everything a mother ought to be.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I understand why you're not grieving her.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Good!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56But I wonder...
0:22:59 > 0:23:04..if you've ever grieved for that poor young girl you used to be.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Lots of kids have it hard. I got through it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Did you?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Or have you told yourself you have?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Have you any happy memories of her?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I remember once when...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37when I was little, about four or five...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42..she let me play with her make-up.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Showed me how to put it all on.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49And then she made me look in the mirror,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53and pointed at me and said I looked like a tart.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Who says that to a five-year-old?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Someone who should never have had kids.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I feel for that little girl.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05All she wanted was to be like her mum.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08I remember when...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13..she used to go out. She used to get all dressed up.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I thought she looked beautiful.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I used to ask her to take me with her,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24but she never did.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29She left me on my own with an empty fridge.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33SHE SOBS
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Why didn't she love me?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I was a good girl, once.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45But what's the point in being good if no-one cares?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Fancy a coffee?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Look, I said I'd help clear up outside.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I've got to do my bit, ain't I?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Catch you at the contest later.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07I'm dropping out.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Cos of Kim?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Because of you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You know, what you said earlier.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oh, no, come on.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21No, listen.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Please, I, um...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I don't want you to think that, um...
0:25:28 > 0:25:32..I didn't say it back because I don't have feelings.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- It's OK. It's not important. - It is.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Look, I'm... I'm really enjoying this.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Us.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I don't want it to change.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Why... Why would it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Look, it's not a word that I say often, you know?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00And when I have in the past, it...
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I've ended up being hurt.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Maybe you've been saying it to the wrong men.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You know, the things I've been through,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I... I'm just overcautious, you know?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You don't... You don't have to make a big thing of it.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16All right? Listen, I...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I wanted to say it...
0:26:18 > 0:26:19cos I mean it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22And you're not ready. But you...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24SHE SIGHS
0:26:24 > 0:26:25..you will be one day.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Why are you so understanding?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's like, the way you encourage me and say the things
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I had to say to that mayor,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43that...that really meant a lot to me.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48And you always support me...
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The way you make me feel about myself,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- no-one's ever done that before. - It's OK. Well...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I never thought I'd find someone...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I could say exactly the same.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You mean everything to me, Denise.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Why?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Why?
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I wake up with a smile, thinking about you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Hmm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24You know, the way we are together, the ease of it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I look forward to seeing you every day.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Cos you make me feel good about myself.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36That do you?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Anyway...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48..I don't need to enter some stupid contest
0:27:48 > 0:27:50or win a sash.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Not when I already have the biggest prize in Walford.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Kush...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08..I love you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- No, you don't... - No.- You don't have to.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12No! No, no, no.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I mean it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18I love you.
