This article contains spoilers for tonight’s episode of EastEnders which airs on BBC One at 7.30pm, but is available to view now on BBC iPlayer. Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) has confirmed to boyfriend Peter Beale (Thomas Law) where she was on the night his mum Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) was attacked – and it’s seriously shocking.

As we all know, Cindy was struck over the head with a snow shovel on Christmas Day in the aftermath of her estrangement from both the Beale and Knight families. Lauren has exposed her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), by gifting Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) a USB stick containing an incriminating recording of her confessing to the fling.

The act of revenge was sparked after Cindy admitted to supplying pregnant Lauren with illegal painkillers following injuries she’d sustained during the Peggy’s club crush. When the BBC soap celebrates its 40th anniversary next month, the true identity of the attacker will be revealed – but they could’ve just dropped a huge clue!.

Earlier this week, Cindy awoke from her coma and had a lot of questions about what had happened to her. The last she remembered, she was taking a stroll through the Square Gardens whilst waiting for her taxi to flee the area. Initially suspecting that Ian was to blame, he reassured her that if he had tried to kill her, he’d have finished the job.
