TOWIE'S James Lock felt the wrath of girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou's family in tonight's series finale.
The Essex hunk had a dinner date to forget as he desperately tried to win round Nanny Hilda and mum Lisa after splitting with Yazmin last year.
He pulled out all the stops; pulling on a kilt and bringing Scottish-themed gifts for the pair in an appeal to their heritage.
But he was greeted with stony faces and harsh words as his presents failed to impress.
Hilda told him: "Do you expect me to come in and sit and talk to you as if nothing has happened?"
Smirking, James replied: "Yeah, it's been a long time. Time is a healer."
Non-nonsense Hilda hit back: "It will take a hell of a long time to heal me."
Lisa added: "Yeah, we treated you like a son James."
Owning his mistakes, James said: "I know all the s**t I put you through last year, that's hard. That's why I am sorry about what happened."
Drilling home her worry, Lisa continued: "That's a start James, but the heartache we had from last year was terrible. Our daughter was upset. To just have it all back to normal is going to take time.
"I do hope all of us can get through it as family."
Hilda had the final word, telling him: "It's up to her and Ill stand by whatever she wants but I'll be damned if I let him hurt her."
Viewers found James's struggle funny, with one writing: Nanny Hilda not forgiving James just cos he’s got a kilt on.
Another wrote: "Oh my god, you got love James for trying to impress future in-laws!"
The Sun recently revealed how lovebirds James and Yazmin have taken their love to the next level and moved in together.
