Debbie Horsfield’s six-part drama made a number of revelations tonight but the most unexpected was Bel’s (played by Polly Walker) hypocritical decision to cheat on her love rat husband Wes Finchley (James Murray).
The duration of the BBC family drama has seen Bel struggling in silence with the knowledge her husband has betrayed her, and she has made it her mission to befriend his mistress Lorelei (Madeleine Mantock) in the hope of splitting them up.
Yet as her plans were continually thwarted the salon owner finally gave up and succumbed to the advances of her best friend and sister’s sneaky husband Teddy Roxton (Robson Green).
After a passionate kiss between the pair, which was unfortunately caught on-camera by Lorelei, Bel later decided to invite him round to spend the night.
As the twists and turns only get more complicated, viewers are convinced part of the story’s resolution will see Lorelei dropping the bombshell she is pregnant with Wes’s child.
Taking to Twitter, fans shared their views on what’s coming next on the show.
One person guessed: “Really think Lorelei is pregnant and will probably die. Hope not but got that feeling... #AgeBeforeBeauty.”
“The plot thickens, I love it #AgeBeforeBeauty @BBCOne,” another shared.
A third said: “Getting proper hooked on #AgeBeforeBeauty. Looking forward to see who snaps first between Bel and Lorelei.”

While a fourth confessed: “Oh s**t. My heart can’t take waiting a week #AgeBeforeBeauty you are the best page turner of a drama.”
“It’s getting messy and it’s all going to end in tears #AgeBeforeBeauty #fabulous,” another viewer added.
Some fans speculated Bel’s tryst with Teddy could be another secret plan however, as one wrote: “Oh no Bel! Is she using Teddy cos she knows she's being watched? Or is she falling for #Teddy?
“Will #Disney meet her dad? What will #Dante do?#AgeBeforeBeauty @BBC.”
Earlier today, star Polly hinted at an “explosive” finale next week.
Speaking to What’s on TV, she revealed: “Yes! The secrets all come out but not in a way that you’d expect and they’re not resolved in a way you’d expect either.
“It has a very unconventional ending… Trust me, you won’t guess it! I’d be up for doing another series.
“There’s potential for things to go all over the place!”
Shedding light on what leads Bel to Teddy, the star teased: “She’s been oblivious to the fact that Teddy’s keen on her but slowly it dawns on her and they go on a journey together.
“But Bel’s not a femme fatale. She’s principled and loyal, which is why her world was rocked by what Wes has done.”
Age Before Beauty concludes Tuesday and Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
