Billie Shepherd was seen in tears during Wednesday's episode of Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries, as she discussed her stepdad Dave Chatwood's health.
In an exclusive clip obtained by the Mirror, Billie is seen having a heart-to-heart with Dave, also known as Chatty, about his recent blood tests.
Before Chatty arrives, Billie confides in her husband Greg Shepherd, as she admitted that he is in "denial" about the results, as when she spoke to him out them he said it was "fine."
In a separate clip, Billie reveals: "Dad's found out that his liver results are abnormal and after telling the doctors that he drinks a lot more than what he should do, daily, the doctor is concerned because they do think his health could be at risk."

She continues: "It kind of goes in waves. There can be weeks, months, everything's fine and then obviously there's times where it gets out of control. Having these tests are the first that we know are 100% legit. Like we know what he's been tested for."
Greg also added it is the first time that the couple have seen the results, as he tells them that he is "alright."
Just moments before Chatty arrives, 33 year old Billie says that she wants to have an "honest" chat with him about what is going on.
As he arrives, he tells Billie that he eats healthy, but it is the alcohol that is the issue, which leads Billie to ask him if he is going to do anything about that going forward.
Chatty insists to Billie that he is going to make changes, as he only drinks when he is stressed.
However, he does admit that he drinks two bottles of wine a day, and he goes down to the pub for a bit of company to talk to people.
Billie's step-dad explains that his friends start at 10am and he was even receiving calls earlier from his pals in the boozer, asking for his whereabouts, to which Greg suggests that he comes round to see them a bit more if he is bored, or take up a hobby.
Speaking in a VT, Billie says: "You know, obviously for us, as his family, we don't want to see him throw his life" to which she breaks down in tears, adding: "Sorry!" with Greg rushing to comfort his crying wife.
