BERTIE Osbourne was left in serious danger after an overwhelmed Gemma Winter dozed off while he was in her care.
Consequences are dire for the Coronation Street favourite as social services soon come knocking on her door.
Daniel Osbourne and his fiancée Daisy Midgeley were in utter shock when they found Bertie left to his own devices while Gemma (portrayed by Dolly-Rose Campbell) slept.
The mother-of-four is desperate for extra cash and unwillingly opened a child-minding business within her own home without any of the qualifications or permits.
With five children at home – her quadruplets and stepson Joseph – and an ill brother fighting with motor neurone disease, Gemma admitted she was at breaking point, prompting Rita Tanner (Barbara Knox) to recommend antidepressants.
This led to, as mentioned above, a young Bertie in danger of overdosing on Gemma's medication.
