Further details
Just when it seemed Danny and Shay's luck couldn't get any worse, American lawyer Tommy Sadowski appears in Manchester.
He's been instructed by Eminem to sue Shady Music for using the name of his company. The lads can't even afford the rent on the office, where are they going to find 123 million dollars?
To top it all off, Danny's record signing plan goes t**s-up - literally - and HearKittyKitty sack the lads.
With no money, and no contract to keep the girls, Danny and Shay quit the label and call time on their own friendship.
Shay retreats to the sanctum of the Finnegan household, while Danny strikes up an unlikely friendship with Tommy.
While Lou desperately tries to get Danny and Shay back together, Strange Pete has demons of his own. He's been asked on a reunion tour with the other Nineties Manc explosion bands but is terrified of getting back on stage.
