Kathy furiously chucked him out and cancelled the wedding - but Elaine Peacock and Ben Mitchell did their best to talk her round.

But as Rocky waited for Kathy to make her decision and turn up at the registry office, he was horrified to find ex-wife Jo there.

And she didn’t have glad tidings of great joy. 

Instead she asked him: “Not too late am I? You haven’t married her?”

A confused Rocky replied: “What are you doing here? How many times do I have to tell you - you, me, finished, end of.”

But she told him: “That’s just it - we’re not. 

“My solicitor called. There’s been some sort of clerical error or something. We’re not legally divorced.”

As Rocky stood agog at what she was saying to him, leaving his entire future in doubt, Jo carried on.

She said: “I’m serious. The divorce was never finalised, I’m still your wife. If you marry Kathy, you’ll be a bigamist. Anyway, I thought you should know.”

With that she waltzed off and Kathy emerged with her family ready to tie the knot.

She told him: “I decided I did want to be Mrs Cotton after all.”

Rocky was stood in shock and fans were with him.

One wrote: "Oh, Rocky, what are you going to do, you idiot!"

A second said: "Rocky is FINISHED! How can Jo just drop in like that and her smirk at the end lmaoooo she defo planned this."

Another added: "Poor Kathy feel so sorry for her, there's no wedding happening now!"
