Christmas is not always a fun time for families, especially not in soap land - where it's the most likely time of year your illicit affair will be publicly revealed.
Let's take a look back at some of the best soap affair reveals of Christmases past, from EastEnders, to Emmerdale, to Hollyoaks, to Brookside. EastEnders' Sheanu (Sharon Watts and Keanu Taylor) - 2019 EastEnders' Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) became romantically involved with the much-younger Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).
Keanu was one of Sharon's husband Phil Mitchell's employees, and Phil was away in Spain at the time. The pair met up for steamy sex sessions, before Sharon fell pregnant and insisted to Phil that the baby was his - until it all came out on Christmas Eve 2019.
