Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian-pace episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has aired a surprise reunion for Ben and Maggie Astoni.

The couple decided to give their marriage another try in Thursday's Australian episode (June 25), after a crisis which had pushed them to breaking point.

Viewers have seen Ben (Rohan Nichol) struggle to forgive Maggie (Kestie Morassi) since discovering that she once had a one-night stand with his brother Marco.

Although Maggie was 17 at the time and had briefly split from Ben, he was unable to move past the betrayal and the years of secrecy.

However, in the latest visit to Summer Bay on Australia's Channel 7, Ben changed his mind just when it looked like he was going to lose Maggie for good.

Having decided on a fresh start, Maggie was all set to leave the Bay without Ben and start a new life in Italy.

As a result, Ben realised what he stood to lose and carefully considered whether his hardline stance against Maggie's betrayal was really worth it.

After an all-night emotional chat, Ben and Maggie decided their marriage was worth fighting for and they made arrangements for him to move back in.

The couple's daughter Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) spent hours avoiding them, fearful that the outcome of their make-or-break talks wouldn't be a good one.

Returning from a romantic trip with her boyfriend Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor), Ziggy was delighted to realise that her parents were starting to get back on track.

Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 next month.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia).
