Daisy is in full-on bridal mode and tells Daniel and Christina that she's going to use her social marketing to bag some freebies for her big day.

However, there's a shadow hanging over the bride-to-be when Justin continues to bombard her with texts, asking why she blocked him. Ignoring his messages, Daisy confides in Glenda about her persistent admirer. Glenda urges her to tell Daniel.

Events take an even creepier turn when Justin turns up at the wedding fair while Daisy is trying on a dress, and he makes out to the stall holder that he's her fiancé.

Totally freaked out, Daisy threatens to call the police, and when a wreath of funeral flowers arrives for her at The Rovers, she's convinced they're from Justin.

Daniel takes Daisy home, but as they spot Justin lurking outside Number 1, he jumps in his delivery van and zooms off. Sadly, that's not the last they see of the stalker. Justin returns to tell Daisy he's willing to back off, so she can tell Daniel she doesn't love him anymore.
