Sean is trying to raise money for a flat of his own so he can bring his son Dylan to live with him.
But when he demanded Gemma and Chesney pay him the commission from his make-up pyramid scheme, he revealed his true age.
Gemma told him: “I feel about 50 today.”
And Sean replied: “Don’t - that is my next significant birthday I mean it’s in a while but even so.
“How is it even possible that I’m going to be the big 5-0?”

A second said: "Why does Sean want money from Gemma? Have I missed something."
Another added: "Micheal is right Sean can't pressure Gemma."
