“Who’s Charley Walter?” Yasmeen asked.
“She’s the poor young girl he murdered,” Stu’s ex told a horrified Yasmeen.
“I didn’t do it, I swear,” he said as Yasmeen questioned him about what had happened.
And after everything she went through with Geoff, she wanted answered and went to ask his ex what the truth was.
She revealed how Stu had confessed to murder after having an affair with the waitress.
Viewers are in shock at Stu being a secret murderer.
One wrote: “I think Lucy is twisting the story. I cant get my head around Stu being a murderer.”
A second said: “Don’t believe Stu is a cold blooded murderer. It will have been some kind of accident or self defence.”
Another added: “I wonder if Stu’s ex has made up that Stu murdered someone so that he can keep away from Bridget?”
Actor Bill has revealed how Stu served 27 years in prison for murder – but insists he is innocent, despite confessing and will hatch a plan to prove it.
He added: “The first major thing is to try and get the people he loves and cares about to believe him; Yasmeen, Alya and Zeedan.
