Martin (James Bye) headed off to Australia in January, and his early return left Stacey in a bit of a frenzy as she begged him not to tell Denise about what he saw.
While Stacey admitted that she was seeing Jack, but isn’t anymore, Martin left to confide in Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) about his latest discovery.
As Martin remained torn over what to do, Jack’s guilt got the better of him and he broke down with Denise (Diane Parish) in the kitchen and confessed to the affair.
After a heartfelt conversation the pair decided to stick together pondered his decision, the guilt began to overwhelm Jack and he ended up breaking down to Denise in the kitchen.
This led to them having a heartfelt conversation, where they vowed to stick together no matter what.
Later on Martin had a confrontation with Chelsea (Tiana Benjamin), as she defended Jack and accused him of stirring the pot.
Her accusations caused Martin to snap, and he revealed he had walked in on Stacey and Jack kissing outside.
Furious, Chelsea then headed straight to confront Jack and Stacey publicly in front of their families.

Jack ended up in bed with Stacey back in January, six weeks after they shared a passionate kiss
While Denise initially insisted she knew all about it, Martin then stepped in and explained that he’d seen them kissing earlier that evening.
A huge physical fight then ensued between Jack and Martin, and Stacey was left dealing with a huge backlash as their world’s were turned completely upside down.
After Stacey and Jack’s first kiss aired last month, actor Scott hinted it was far from a steamy one-off for Jack and Stacey.
He said: ‘There’s genuinely got to be some feelings there because you don’t do things like that without their being feelings.
‘All roads point towards this as well, so there’s been a lot of tension, a lot of stress, a lot of contributing factors that have led to this point and miscommunications. Reading between the lines and thinking something is something when it isn’t, and it gets to the point where the you-know-what hits the fan.
‘Is it expected? Is it something that was going to happen in Jack’s eyes? Definitely not, but that’s EastEnders.’
EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One.
