Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) is out to make lover Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins)

jealous in EastEnders next week after her engagement to Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

Following the reappearance of Cindy’s ex David Wicks (Michael French) in Walford

last week, an insecure Ian sought to solidify his relationship with her – unbeknown that she’s currently having an affair with former stepson Junior. While Cindy and Junior have been sneaking around behind their families’ backs for months now, she was distracted by seeing David again 27 years after their affair, leaving Junior wounded. In scenes to air next week, Junior attempts to reach out to Cindy after her engagement, but she avoids his calls.

When he then heads to Beale’s Eels to confront her, Cindy is adamant the affair is over and asks him to leave. Later Junior snaps at Peter Beale (Thomas Law) after he continues to discuss his parents’ engagement and heads to the café where he asks Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy )to join him for a drink. In The Vic, Cindy is anxious to see Ian and Junior talking as it becomes clear he is intent on playing games. However, his attempts to rile Cindy don’t go to plan when Priya abruptly ends her drinks with Junior after realising he isn’t interested, as a vindicated Cindy watches on. Junior then ups the ante and invites Peter for a drink as Cindy decides to join them – but things soon take a turn for the worse… Is the sordid truth about to come spilling out?
