Meanwhile, Hollyoaks teen Cleo McQueen has some big decisions to make when abuser Pete Buchanan's trial begins.

Pete (Kai Owen) is facing charges for grooming his teenage stepdaughter, although she remains adamant that they had a normal relationship.

As the McQueens nervously prepare for Pete's trial, Cleo (Nadine Mulkerrin) starts to feel increasingly let down by her mother Reenie when she goes missing just before they are due in court.

Although everyone is desperate for Cleo to tell the jury the truth about what Pete did to her, it's clear that she is feeling desperately torn over what to do.

After Cleo's video statement is played to the courtroom, Reenie arrives just in time to see her daughter before she goes in to give evidence.

Reenie begs Cleo to do the right thing and is hopeful that she has done enough to persuade her, but Celine isn't so sure she'll listen to their advice.

Taking to the stand, Cleo starts to crack under pressure as she receives a tough interrogation from the defence, and her honesty is also brought into question when they ask whether it was her driving on the night Rachel Hardy died.

All eyes are on Pete when it's his turn to be questioned and the McQueens are left horrified as he puts on the performance of his life, but what will the outcome of the trial be?
