EastEnders confirms consequences for Cindy as the truth explodes

New EastEnders pictures reveal the moment Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) life crashes down around her – as secrets explode on Christmas Day.

We’re edging ever closer to the spectacular festive reveal, that will see the Beale and the Knight families torn apart by theꦰ news that Cindy has been engaging in an affair with her former step-son Junior (Micah Balfour) for months.

The fling began when Cindy plotted to win back her ex-husband George Knight (Colin Salmon), despite being engaged to first husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

Her efforts proving unsuccessful, she then went onto she went onto bed Junior, with the two being 𒆙caught by his uncle Kojo (Dayo Koleosho).

Terrified by what he saw, he ran off and climbed the emergency exit staircase at the community ce✅ntre, with Cindy chasing after him.

A stru🙈ggle broke out and he fell to the 🐽ground, being placed in an induced coma to aid recovery.

The altercation was witnessed by Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Josꦓsa), tওhe girlfriend of her son Peter (Thomas Law).

Cindy clocked that she had stolen some of cousin Amy Mitchell’s (Ellie Dadd) medication to ease her pain from injuries sustained during the Peggy’s club cru𒁃sh, and decided that she could blackmail her into keeping quiet.

After meeting a drug de༺aler, Cindy approached Lauren’s flat with a gift – some pills. Lauren was shocked, but was more than happy toꦜ take them off her.

Following previous issues with addiction, and given she’s currently pregnant, this would go onto have𒈔 devastating consequences when she was rushed to hospital ⭕with stomach pains.

Luckily, her unborn𝄹 baby was fine, but another showdown with Cindy soon ensued and she admitted that she was worried about the child’s safety if she suddenly withdrew.

Earlier this week, we saw Lauren fall asleep after popping another pill and knock a candle to the floor – setting her f𝕴lat ablaze.

Now, as spoiler pictures show – i🐻t’s not just the affair reveal that ruin’s Cind𒈔y’s Christmas.

At the Beale household, Peter pullജs Lauren back from attacking his mum, who is stood beside Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and Louie (Jak💜e McNally).

Wh🍰en ♉Cindy gets too close, denying that she ever supplied her, Lauren snarls in her face and all hell breaks loose!

We’re loving the sound of this!

A further tense conversation in the Queen Vic barrel store shows Cin⛄dy pleading with Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) not to expose her wrongdoings wiꦯth Junior.

How has Ela🐓ine found out – and what shock🍎ing demand does she make?

Has she got her hands on the recording?
