Peter's sister Tracy declares she doesn't want James around anymore, but after he agrees to leave, Ken discovers he has taken out a loan against their house. He's in even more trouble when Kevin reveals that the police have arrested Rob and Janet and later that James was in on the scam all along.

 Meanwhile, Sean is still feeling left out with how close Marcus and his son Dylan have become. Owen has some important news for Anna, he's her new landlord.

There's a new employee at Underworld, Gary, who gets the job to be nearer to Izzy, but his action only results in her feeling suffocated. 

Audrey may be forced to tell Gail her new man Marc's secrets as her birthday gets close. But to her surprise, Marc offers to give up being Marcia for her.

The Only Way is Essex-Arg gets his heartbroken again as Lydia once more tells him it’s over.

 Lydia told James she’s moving on as he went to talk to her after she turned up at the pool party with her date, model Rob. Looks like Arg has fierce competition, as even Lydia’s mum likes the male model.

‘You don’t understand how it felt you turning up to my best mates party with another guy’, James told Lyd. ‘I would die for you. It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever felt in my life.’

Lydia replied by telling him she needs someone to help her get over him and to see how shit there relationship is/was. She told him that he keeps pushing her away and that she never wants to be in that situation again. James told her they are soulmates and belong together, but Lydia just said what’s the point. ‘I won’t fuck up again’, James pleaded. ‘I’ve heard it too many times before’, confessed Lydia.

James also made an enemy out of Amy, who was told by Lydia, when she visited her house to clear the air, that James has told her in the past that he has ‘banged’ her. Amy was furious and apologised to Lydia for not being on her side and sticking up for James before. Lydia forgave her and said she had washed her hands of him. But when Amy confronted James at the party, he told her Lydia was making up lies, despite confessing to Lyd he had said while they were going out he had slept with Amy to wind her up. Amy told James she was pissed off as they used to be mates, and she doesn’t want to be involved in their (Arg and Lydia’s) arguments. James said he would tell Lyd not to involve her. Amy was having none of James’ lies and said to leave it at that.

Jamie's Dream School- The teachers fight back

Historian David Starky revealed his true colours on the first episode of Jamie’s Dream School last night (CH4 9PM).

The intellectual, who was accosted to teach an unruly bunch of kids history used insults to discipline the pupils, calling one boy fat after he failed to gain control of the class. The boy retaliated by referring to the historian’s height, or lack of.

Not  the best start for Jamie’s new project where professionals at the top of their field are invited to teach children who have no or few GCSE’s about their subject in a fun and engaging way.

In a normal world, Starky would have been fired, but Jamie and his acting head teacher said they were torn about what to do. So much for an improved school that encourages unruly children to go back to full-time education where the use of insults is promoted?

Fortunately the rest of the lessons went to plan, with Dr Robert Winston teaching science and scaring the teens with the corpse of a pig, Rolf Harris showing the kids how to paint in art, actor Simon Callow teaching them about Shakespeare for English and Dame Ellen McArthur taking a small group sailing, just a normal school day then?
