Major EastEnders couple torn apart by cheating confession in iPlayer twist
This article contains spoilers for tomorrow's episode of EastEnders, which airs Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One or can be streamed now on iPlayer.
Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) has confessed to cheating on husband George (Colin Salmon).
The couple's ordeal all kicked off earlier this week, when his son Junior (Micah Balfour) revealed that, on Christmas night, George met up with ex-wife Sabrina.
She'd attempted to kiss him, and when he rejected her she dealt a vicious slap.
But despite that, George kept quiet about the encounter. Elaine felt that this was a huge betrayal, and ordered him out of the house.
She subsequently caught him seeking support from his other ex-wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), and thought that he was continuing on a path of being unfaithful.
Enraged, Elaine turned to her old pal Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton) for a shoulder to cry on, and he told her to find a man who would treat her like a queen.
She was boosted by his words and allowed a Prince Albert punter to chat her up… and she returned home with him.
Returning home in the dead of night, George was waiting. He told her that he was deeply sorry for his mistakes, and that he wanted to make amends.
In the latest edition to drop online, Elaine woke up in a state. She was full of emotion, and knew that her marriage was over.
Little did she realise, George was going the extra mile to make things right, and had asked Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) to get his hands on a karaoke machine so that he could make a huge public spectacle.
Elaine stared out of the living room window as her husband belted out ABBA's Take a Chance on Me.

She was clearly touched by the gesture, but rushed off. Daughter Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) found her hiding away in the barrel store, and urged her to come clean. If she didn't, it would consume her for the rest of her life. More Trending
As the punters gathered outside for Kat Slater's (Jessie Wallace) wedding to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), Elaine called George to one side.
She asserted that she was going to try her upmost to show how much she loves him, but wanted to confess her affair first.

Pat Cash reveals sad reason for repeatedly turning down I'm A Celebrity
Pat Cash reveals sad reason for repeatedly turning down I'm A Celebrity In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Pat said: "I'm not sure I'm capable of doing the jungle Wimbledon champion Pat Cash (Image: Justin Stead ) Pat Cash says his previous "bad bouts" of "anxiety and depression" forced him to turn down I'm A Me Out Of Here! The 60-year-old former professional tennis player has been asked to take part in the successful ITV1 jungle survival reality show many times over the years, but he refused as he dreaded socialising with people in the New South Wales, Australia-based outback for around three weeks. In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Pat said: "I'm not sure I'm capable of doing the jungle. "The reality is I'm not a particularly social person. I like my friends but I find a lot of people quite annoying. "I have had bad bouts of anxiety and depression in my lifetime and I didn't want to be locked in somewhere for a few weeks." Pat has also refused to take part in the hit BBC One reality show, Strictly Come Dancing. Article continues below Speaking about the Latin and Ballroom dancing programme, he shared: "Strictly gave up on me. I'm actually really shy." Pat - who is remembered for winning the Wimbledon men's singles championship in 1987, and climbing the stands to celebrate - declared his appearance on The Masked Singer in 2022 was "just about the most nerve-wracking thing" he has done. The star - who was unmasked as Bagpipes after performing the Wheatus hit Teenage Dirtbag on Love-themed week four - told host Joel Dommett: "The thing I'm probably most famous for is climbing through the stands. In sporting events, nobody did that before I did it. But I'm sort of a frustrated rock guitarist. I had a band a little bit, for a little while and I call myself the 'emergency singer'. I liked the idea that I could just focus on myself. Ironically, it's strange, seeing the crowd is quite nerve-wracking. "I've played the centre court at Wimbledon but coming on here is just about the most nerve-wracking thing ever. "But what a great experience, I'm very very lucky." Pat turned 60 last month, but he only feels his age when he goes for a run or is on a tennis court. The sporting legend - who retired from professional tennis in 1997 due to injuries - said: "I don't feel like I'm 60, except when I go for a run and my hip plays up, or on a tennis court I think, 'Oh no, this is not much fun.' Article continues below "But these things are bound to happen when you've played 40 years of professional sport."
