EastEnders' Bex Fowler Harbours Secret About Kush

EastEnders' 18 year-old Bex Fowler will grow increasingly closer to her dads best-friend Kush next week after the pair bond over Shakil's death.

As she prepares for her upcoming exams, Bex struggles with the pressure when her family continue to interfere.

When she lies about how she did on her practice exams, she confides in her friend Louise Mitchell about the situation, but when Louise shows little interest in her problems, Bex turns to Stuart for advice.

As Stuart offers some encouraging advice, the conversation is seen by Kush who becomes concerned and warns Martin about Dot's lodger.

After confronting Stuart, Martin feels mortified when he realises that Kush got the wrong end of the stick.

Later, Kush tries to make amends with Bex, but that will be the least of his problems when she makes a worrying discovery about the stock on his market stall.

When Bex realises that Kush is selling stock that has recently been reported stolen, she jumps into action to help him out. Kush is left panicking when he's told about the coats, but Bex manages to get rid of them.

When the pair meet up later on, they bond over a discussion about Shakil, but Bex soon realises that she's developing feelings for her late boyfriends older brother.

Will Bex act on her feelings? And how will Kush react when he finds out?

EastEnders air these scenes next week on BBC One.
