Home and Away spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK readers may prefer to avoid.
Home and Away's Tane Parata has insisted on time apart from Ziggy Astoni after discovering her surprise betrayal.
Wednesday's episode on Channel 7 in Australia (July 21) saw Tane react to the revelation that Ziggy had shared a kiss with her ex-boyfriend Dean Thompson.
Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) and Dean (Patrick O'Connor) were drawn closer as they headed into the city to attend Bella Nixon's photography exhibition. Ziggy ultimately decided this was a mistake, but not before Tane's nephew Nikau saw her kissing Dean.
Earlier this week, Nikau hinted at the truth by encouraging Tane (Ethan Browne) to ask Ziggy what had happened between her and Dean at the exhibition.

In Wednesday's episode, Tane chose not to confront Ziggy straight away and instead waited to see whether she'd tell him the truth herself.
In the end, this proved to be the case as Ziggy was unable to cope with her guilt and chose to confess to Tane.
Ziggy explained: "Something happened at the exhibition that I need you to know about. I kissed Dean. I shut it down. We kissed, it was a stupid mistake and I've spoken to Dean and he agrees. I'm so sorry – I'm a hypocrite. And I will never do that again."

Much to Ziggy's surprise, Tane did not react angrily but made it clear that their relationship couldn't go back to normal straight away.
He said: "I'm glad you sorted it with Dean, but I'm going to need some time – and space."
Ziggy agreed to respect this, but how long will she need to wait?
Home and Away fans in the UK will see these scenes on Channel 5 in September.
Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
