Neighbours first look at Toadie and Melanie's secret romance story

Neighbours spoilers follow for UK viewers.

Neighbours' Toadie Rebecchi and Melanie Pearson enjoy a secret romance on UK screens next week.

The pair previously shared a date that didn't go anywhere, before Toadie (Ryan Moloney) hired Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) as his assistant. A Valentine's Day mix-up led them to confirm their intent to stay colleagues, but now they're starting to hook up.

In upcoming scenes on Channel 5, Toadie appears to be particularly harsh towards Melanie at work – something which their co-worker Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) notices.

Mackenzie eventually confronts Toadie, and is pleasantly surprised when Toadie replies that he will be more mindful of the way he treats Melanie going forwards.

In reality, the reason why Toadie has been telling Melanie off in the office is to help cover up their secret romance.

Toadie and Melanie enjoy the thrill of sneaking around and getting intimate together, but realise they need to be much more careful when Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) comes close to discovering their affair.

Toadie and Melanie hook up during work hours later in the week, but when Toadie returns looking particularly happy, Mackenzie gets a little suspicious.

She also notices his dishevelled appearance.

Will she work out Toadie has been seeing someone in secret? And if she does, will she figure out it's Melanie he's been privately meeting up with?
