Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) is hiding a huge secret in EastEnders, but her whole

world is about to come crashing down when Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) puts his foot

in it in upcoming scenes.

Since returning from Milton Keynes with Britney Wainwright (Lola Campbell) in tow, Whitney has been hiding the fact that she paid Britney’s mum to be able to take her in.

This has already thrown up issues for Whitney, who has had to find a way of enrolling her in school and registering her with a GP, without letting on that she isn’t actually her legal guardian.

With Britney having been diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, Whitney is determined to do everything she can to ensure that Britney gets the support she needs – including meeting with Wahida, a mum whose son also has Usher Syndrome.

Following the conversation, Whitney meets with Britney’s teacher to discuss her diagnosis, but things take a worrying turn when Reiss lets slip that Whitney isn’t Britney’s mum.

Oblivious Whitney is later stunned when she receives a visit from social services, who have arrived to take Britney away until they can corroborate Whitney’s version of events with Keeley Wainwright (Kirsty J Curtis).

Whitney is left completely devastated as she, Zack Hudson (James Farrar) and Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) race to track Keeley down.Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who’s leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

They finally get her to meet them at Walford East, but they are far from out of the woods when Bianca picks a fight and begins criticising Keeley’s parenting, leading her to retaliate by suggesting that Britney may be better off elsewhere.
