Denise Fox takes drastic action against Ravi Gulati in EastEnders
AWARE her marriage to Jack Branning could be hanging by a thread, Denise Fox does all she can to cover up her flirting with Ravi Gulati.
But next week in EastEnders, she decides not to be intimidated by the gangster and she takes drastic action against him.
Denise (portrayed by Diane Parish) was floored to find out her husband Jack played by Scott Maslen was investigating Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) with whom she has shared fleeting steamy encounters.
Once he found out about Jack's plans against him, the thug chose to blackmail Denise into getting him information on the case his enemy is building against him.
Coming up on BBC One, Denise crumbles under pressure while she contemplates breaking into Jack's laptop to get everything Ravi needs.
But when she's ready to do the deed, she's stopped in her tracks by a phone call informing her that Amy Mitchell has been in a fight at school.

Later on, she seeks Ravi out and calls his bluff, telling him she won't betray Jack and defiantly asking him to do his worst.
She's then consoled by her unaware sister Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) as she goes on a guilt trip about letting Jack and the family down.
Once she turns his back on him, Ravi decides that he'll need to do the dirty work himself and he prepares to break into the Branning house to search for the information he needs.
But just as he gets ready for the job, he's interrupted by Denise's daughter Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) and the pair share a flirty exchange.
