She later told Tina that her mum was Katy Lewis and an excited Tina invited Frankie for lunch with the Carters.

As Tina began reminiscing, she explained how Mick loved Katy, who was their carer. But it soon became clear that Mick was only 12 years old when he knew Frankie’s mum.

As Frankie realised that her mother sexually abused Mick as a child, she made her excuses to leave.
