Wild At Heart

Childhood star, Hayley Mills becomes a regular cast member playing Sarah's (Amanda Holden) estranged mother, Caroline.

Sarah gets a bit of a shock when her mother Caroline arrives at Leopard's Den - but it is not exactly an open arm welcome. Caroline and Sarah have never seen eye to eye and old resentments soon bubble to the surface. Evan (Luke Ward-Wilkinson) and Olivia (Rafaella Hutchinson) aren't too impressed with their granny either. In fact, Du Plessis (Deon Stewardson) is the only one who seems delighted at their glamorous new addition.

And so, Caroline parachutes herself into Leopard's Den disrupting the family's hard-earned harmony. Before long she's rowed with Sarah and made her crash the jeep, got them into debt with Fatani (Thapelo Mokoena) and even Du Plessis starts to realise she's a pain in the ass. Then, just when things can't get any worse, she interferes with two celebrity guests desperate for some privacy. The paparazzi are on their way and Sarah tells Caroline enough is enough - she has to go home.

Meanwhile Danny (Stephen Tompkinson) and Du Plessis struggle to settle the hippo. It's reluctant to leave its pen and Danny fears it won't accept its new home. But Caroline has sussed out what's wrong. The hippo has fallen for a buffalo, also housed in the pens and doesn't want to leave. Danny's not convinced. But when he puts the hippo and its new love in the same water hole everyone's surprised to discover Caroline is right. The hippo and buffalo set up their happy home.

Sarah and her mum finally lay a few ghosts to rest. Just as Caroline is about to leave Sarah caves in and asks her to stay. Although Caroline would never admit it, returning to England is a lonely prospect. And so she accepts. Seems Leopard's Den has a new permanent addition.
