Ben Mitchell offers dad Phil his liver in EastEnders as brother Grant leaves Albert Square… again

EASTENDERS fans saw alcoholic Phil Mitchell being given a lifeline tonight, after son Ben offered to give him his liver.

After years of booze abuse, the mechanic hasn’t been given long to live unless he can get a transplant, and tonight his son has said he will be that donor.

In a candid conversation with his father, after his boyfriend’s funeral, Ben (Harry Reid) says: “I can’t lose you dad.

“I’m begging you, you’ve got to get better.”

Phil (Steve McFadden) then says: “It’s not down to me, is it?

He then says: “You’ll be ok.”

This upsets Ben who says: “I don’t wanna be ok, I want you in my life.

“Shouting at me, winding me up.”

There is then a pause and the troubled lad says “So, I’ve been thinking, and I want you to have my liver.”

Ben was left shocked when his dad confessed that he wouldn’t be around for much longer as his health was deteriorating fast, and after losing his boyfriend, wants to help Phil anyway he can.

The big cliffhanger came after Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) left Walford… again.

The Albert Square hardman hit the road after deciding not to tell Mark Fowler Jr that he is his biological father.

However, in a heart-breaking twist, Mark worked the news out for himself but agreed to go back to America on the advice of Sharon.
