Lewis appeared on today's edition of Lorraine to reflect on the plot. He remained tight light lipped about what is going to happen but admitted it could be the worst as he said: "Maybe I'm dead?"

Lewis is in happy relationship with fellow actor, Rachel Lopez. She shared a snap alongside Lewis on the Lorraine sofa today as she said: "I am so proud of you."
