During a heart-to-heart, Yolande (Angela Wynter) talks to Denise about the importance of honesty and truth.

This triggers a guilty Denise into opening up in a vague way about her lies over the club crush, caused by her daughter Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams).

With Yolande’s words about the corrosive nature of lies ringing in her ears, Denise steels herself to tell Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) the truth about Chelsea causing the club crush.

But will she follow through after seeing Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and the extent of her injuries?

Meanwhile, Jack is overwhelmed with the demands of caring for Amy and running the house singlehandedly.

He reluctantly agrees that Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) can go over to No.27 to support Amy.

However, Jack is pleased to find Amy in much better spirits thanks to Penny’s visit.

But, Jack ruins the whole mood by making a tactless comment that upsets Penny, causing a massive row between them.

After hearing about Penny and Jack’s continuing issues, Denise makes it her mission to fix their relationship.

She gets them both to come to Denzel’s (Jaden Ladega) 16^th birthday party – but can she bring them together?

Later, at the Branning house, Jack tells Denise how grateful he is for everything she’s done for their family.

He gives a moving speech about how amazing she is.

Can the turbulent couple get their married life back on track?

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.

Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.

Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
