Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Hollyoaks' Martine Deveraux and Felix Westwood are tying the knot next week, although there have been plenty of obstacles in their way – Martine has been diagnosed with cancer, while Felix had to fake his death as part of a drugs war.

There's also the issue of a mysterious postcard the pair receive and what this could mean for their future together.

"Toby and Celeste have always been quite a conniving pair," Martine actress Kéllé Bryan told Inside Soap. "Martine has no idea about them getting a postcard, though – I'm dreading the day that all their family secrets come out..."

But providing the wedding isn't the day all the family secrets get revealed (and it wouldn't be the first second fifth time such a thing has happened), it should be a lovely day.

"After the cancer treatment, Martine is thinking a lot about how she looks, and on her wedding day she wants to look beautiful. But mostly, Martine's thrilled to finally be marrying the man of her dreams. She's waited 20 years for this moment, so she's really happy.

"It's the stuff of fairy tales! These two were childhood sweethearts, and then they were estranged for 20 years – for Martine, to be marrying Felix is really amazing. They have a lovely day, and after everything Martine's been through, she really wants to let her hair down and have a great time – it's a real celebration."

Let's hope it all goes down without a hitch.

Hollyoaks airs new episodes from Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look screenings at 7pm on E4.

Joe Anderton is a freelance news writer and resident Welsh person at Digital Spy, having worked there since 2016. 

In his time he's covered a host of live events, interviewed celebrities big and small and crowbarred a countless amount of great/awful (delete as appropriate) puns into articles. 

A big fan of TV and movies both mainstream and obscure, Joe's main interest is in video gaming. Although particularly a PlayStation gamer, he plays across Xbox, Nintendo and PC/Steam Deck, and likes to keep tabs on many games he's not got the time to play.

Joe currently does not use Twitter, but he only ever used it to tell people to watch the film Help! I'm a Fish (which you really should do).
