Hollyoaks revisits Cleo McQueen's abuse storyline next week as she makes the devastating decision to contact evil Pete Buchanan again.

Cleo (Nadine Mulkerrin) has turned her life around in recent months after years of being under Pete's spell, but she slips back into old habits after some tragic news.

Next week's Hollyoaks episodes see Celine McQueen's body get found in a lake as Killer Cameron's dark storyline finally comes to a head.

While we can't give away what happens to Cameron, news of Celine's terrible fate does later make its way back to the village - leaving the McQueens inconsolable as they deal with the cruel loss of another family member.

Of course, the news is particularly upsetting for Cleo, as she struggles to come to terms with the sad thought that she'll never see her sister again. Although Cleo starts out in denial over what she's heard, she's crushed as reality hits her.

Needing someone to talk to, Cleo ends up making contact with Pete - who's currently in jail - to make herself feel better.

With Pete in possession of a contraband phone, he's able to see Cleo's messages and get back in touch with her. So could Pete start to manipulate Cleo again? Or can her loved ones step in before she makes a terrible mistake?

Pete was sent to jail with a seven-year sentence last June, when he was finally made to pay for his abuse of Cleo. The scenes saw Kai Owen, who played Pete, bow out from Hollyoaks after a one-year stint.

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
