EASTENDERS has delivered a shock tonight with a steamy new affair kicking off in a backstreet alleyway.
In tonight’s episode Whitney Dean’s lies about buying Britney from her drug addict mother unravelled and boyfriend Zack Hudson was horrified.
The chef - who is played by actor James Farrar in the BBC soap - was stunned by Whitney’s lies and demanded answers about it.
But as she told him how it all came about, she refused to accept that she’d done anything wrong.
Even when Zack pointed out that she’d spent the money for their baby on buying Britney, she was unrepentant and tried to turn it around on him.
And when Zack told her that they had to come clean to social services, Whitney was distraught.

She told him in no uncertain terms that if she was made to chose between him and Britney, he wouldn’t win.
That was enough for Zack and he left the house, heartbroken.
And he soon ran into Lauren Branning who he questioned about knowing Whitney’s secret but not telling him.
Things soon took a turn as the pair bonded over their disastrous lives, with alcoholic Lauren ordering a double vodka just so she could not drink it.
