Mother and daughter were estranged Helen cut off Ruby over her ties with hubby Caleb. At the hosp, Caleb tried muscle in some dough from Helen so she could get one last glimpse of her girl before she carked it, reports Leeds Live.

Helen bit the bait, offering up a hefty £100k and slipped in a mention of Caleb’s girl Steph, which he didn’t take much shine to. A worried Helen asked if he’d clapped eyes on ‘Stephanie’. Caleb got miffed and spat: “Don’t you dare say my kids’ names,” then did one sharpish.
