When the news first broke about his 10 affairs it was unclear whether Emma would be able to forgive Mark.

But Mark had admitted that he had an alcohol problem, and whilst not using that as excuse, he conceded that that had been a factor in his cheating.

Now sources say that Emma has been impressed with the work Mark has put in in rehab and how he has faced his demons head on.

An insider says, "They're committed to making this work so everyone's hoping they can patch things up. But make no mistake - they know they face a long journey to get things back on track."
