Phil discovers the truth

Phil actually realises the truth on Christmas Eve but bides his time when it comes to confronting Sharon about her infidelity.

Phil has known he's not the father - but not who the real dad is.

After torturing Jack Branning, Phil reaches boiling point when he realises the real culprit is his son-in-law Keanu.

The soap's explosive trailer reveals the moment Phil finds out the truth about Sharon's baby.

EastEnders fans know that Louise’s exit will come as Keanu and Sharon’s secret comes exploding out.

The Christmas trailer teases that moment has come as Louise is seen staring at the dinner table in horror.

Phil takes his revenge

The Christmas trailer shows Phil’s reaction to the affair as he confronts Sharon over her lying and cheating.

He yells at Sharon “worth it, was he?”, before smashing the table and his marriage to smithereens.

But knowing Phil’s temper, the Christmas turkey will be the least of Sharon’s problems when the truth comes exploding out.

But EastEnders are yet to release full details of Phil’s revenge plan - and fans will have to tune in on Christmas Day to find out.
