Meanwhile, Nancy Osborne is still reeling from her split with Darren Osborne, so to cheer herself up, she drags Ste Hay out for a few drinks.
The pair get drunk and make a spontaneous decision to crash Grace's party – but Nancy is shocked to see her stepdaughter Frankie there.
"Since Frankie moved out of the family home to live with Dillon, it's been impossible for Nancy to keep tabs on her," our insider said. "So to see her at Grace's birthday bash is confusing – why is she there and why has she grown so close to Grace?"
