Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) big secret has finally been uncovered in EastEnders – and unfortunately for her, it just happens to be her biggest enemy who has found out about her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour). Friday’s episode of the BBC soap saw none other than Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) stumble upon evidence of the pair’s clandestine relationship, as the walls started closing in on Cindy in the build-up to this year’s big Christmas Day special.

Fans saw Cindy believe she’d neutralised a threat from a pregnant Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) following a dramatic series of events. As we picked up with the action in Walford, Lauren and son Louie were trapped in a house fire, but were soon rescued by Cindy.

Peter and his father Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) were then stunned when Lauren revealed Cindy had been supplying her with the pills. A panicked Cindy gaslit Lauren and denied everything, prompting Lauren to reveal all about their pact, which they struck last month after Lauren found out about Cindy’s involvement in Kojo Asare’s (Dayo Koleosho) recent accident.
