Ballum fans have been left in shock after Callum broke his marriage vows by getting jiggy with Johnny.

The unexpected turn of events all started when the boys locked lips at Walford Pride. Johnny’s boyfriend Felix witnessed their passionate clinch, and called time on their relationship before leaving town.

Despite insisting the kiss was a one-off, Callum couldn’t resist temptation. He and Johnny ended up going all the way, without a care for poor Ben, who’s thousands of miles away in an American prison.

Callum woke up the next morning full of regret and told Johnny they could never be anything more than friends. But despite his best efforts, it seems that Cal is starting to catch feelings for the handsome lawyer.
