They recently learnt some huge news about their baby (Picture: ITV)
Usually, walking in on a baby shower would be a happy occasion. But not for David Platt (Jack P Shephard)
Ever since discovering that their unborn baby has a cancerous tumour, the heart-breaking diagnosis has put his relationship with wife Shona (Julia Goulding) under serious strain.
In heart-breaking scenes, the couple learnt the risks involved with keeping the baby; Shona must undergo a risky surgical procedure that would put her life at risk.
Whilst David was terrified at thought of losing Shona and considered terminating the pregnancy, Shona refused to talk about it and committed to having this baby at any cost – even her own life.
