I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I cannot stop thinking about the fact that I've seen a close-up of Danny Dyer's bare backside in Rivals season 2.

Last week's episode was revealing in more ways than one, and not just the nude kind.

Freddie (Dyer) has been dumped by his ideal other woman, Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson), or that Declan's (Aiden) actress wife, Maud (Victoria Smuriff), is set to have an affair with rival TV exec Tony Baddingham (David Tennant).

On top of that, Rivals has just hinted at a potential lesbian romance between Tony's wife Monica (Claire Rushbrook) and Corinium board member Enid (Selina Griffiths).

But where on Earth are things heading this week, and when does Rivals season 2 episode 5 drop on Hulu and Disney+?
