The moment came about when Darren offered Mandy a shoulder to cry on after she came home to see her dress was ruined by Luke, who lied to his fiancee in a bid carry out the act in the empty house.

Of course Mandy was unaware that Luke is actually attempting to delay the wedding, while he tracks down his secret wife Scarlett to get a divorce.

Regardless, Mandy couldn't hold back the tears when Darren came round to tell her he had found the £20,000 needed for them to buy Nightingale's restaurant, meaning Mandy had a stronger chance of winning back her children.

Delighted, the blonde then grabbed Darren and kissed him twice, in a dramatic moment that took both characters off-guard.
