Airing on ITV1

Robert finds Katie painting in the barn. Katie is pleased to see him and as they kiss one thing leads to another and they end up rolling around in the hay!

As Robert buttons up his shirt and prepares to leave, Katie is reluctant to lose the moment and asks Robert to hold her because she’s cold. Cuddling to keep warm the couple suddenly hear a car pull up and Andy’s voice outside.

Desperate not to give the game away, Robert and Katie hold their breath wondering whether they will be discovered. Robert scrambles to hide behind a nearby bail of hay as Andy enters the barn. Will he catch his brother and his fiancee in the act, or will they escape by the skin of their teeth?

Later, Chas finds Katie crying. She admits that she’s been cheating on Andy and isn’t sure it’s just a fling, Chas is taken aback.

Katie explains she thinks she’s in love with both men and doesn’t know what to do because she’s getting married in two weeks. Chas tries to understand, unaware that the guy she is talking about is Robert!

Louise is annoyed as the Woolpack becomes a little cramped with Val hiding out with them. Reluctant Diane is roped into lying for her little sister as she tries to avoid running into her ex.

Elsewhere in the village, Andy and friends continue to cause mayhem as the stag week continues. Viv is horrified when Andy appears in the Woolpack wearing nothing but a pair of her leopard skin knickers for a dare!

Meanwhile, Simon is playing his cards close to his chest where Nicola is concerned. Little does he know, she feels like banging her head against a brick wall as he doesn’t seem to me giving much away.

ITV.COM No Dare Beats Andy Wednesday 04.02.04 Louise isn't happy that Val's staying for a few weeks, but Val is livid when told she'll be paying her way in the Woolpack kitchen. Marlon's not looking forward to it either. She infuriates him by acting dumb so he has to do it all, and then is dismissive about Tricia's death. She won't even do the dishes and is hanging out behind the bar when ex Eugene reappears. She luckily has Diane to stand up for her, and Eugene is sent on his way without the money Val owes him, but saying he won't forget her.

Andy's stag-week dares are getting more extreme. He has to steal Viv's leopardskin knickers from the washing line, and Darren brings him back from Hotten with a 'Katie Forever' tattoo. He go-karts through the village wearing only Viv's stolen underwear and is abandoned to retrieve his clothes from inside the Woolpack. He obviously has no way to hide the new tattoo and when Chas tells of an ill-advised one saying 'Ralph' it all gets too much for Katie. Chas finds her crying in the toilets, and Katie confides that her fling may have become more than that. She loves them both, but is marrying the one who no longer gives her butterflies.

Nicola is furious Simon's having a darts night with Paddy rather than spending time with her, and strops over to Laurel's to insist they go out too. Simon winds her up further by asking Laurel to play darts with him, and Nicola storms from the pub. He follows her home and says they should talk over a coffee. Nicola gets cross and tells him he'll leave again for his early starts, but he instead asks if she has an alarm clock. She leaps on him and drags him joyfully to her bedroom before he can even sip his coffee.
