"EastEnders star Neil McDermott has reportedly been taken back by wife Michelle. The actor, who plays Ryan Malloy in the BBC One show, cheated on her in February with 16-year-old fan Chloe Peeble after meeting her in a nightclub. Michelle, who has been with McDermott since they were teenagers and has a four-month-old daughter with him, initially kicked the soap star out, but has now decided to give him a second chance by moving into a new \u00C2\u00A3300,000 home in Datchet, Berkshire, the Sunday Mirror reports. A source told the paper: &amp;quot;It will take a long time before they are back to being the happy couple they were,&amp;quot; adding that relations are currently &amp;quot;extremely strained&amp;quot;. McDermott said at the time of his infidelity: &amp;quot;I am so sorry to my wife, \u00C2\u00ADdaughter and our family for this betrayal. I love my wife and family dearly and I&amp;#039;m distraught that my life is now in tatters due to a stupid \u00C2\u00ADmistake. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve no excuse for my actions but I had no idea the girl wasn&amp;#039;t over 18 as we met in a nightclub. Either way, I&amp;#039;ve caused heartache to those I love most which I deeply regret. This was a one-off incident but I&amp;#039;ve let myself down as well as my wife and everyone who knows me.&amp;quot; Peeble revealed that McDermott was shocked when he discovered her age, but insisted that she did not want to be a home-wrecker.
