Torn: EastEnders spoilers reveal Billy Mitchell is set to be torn as his ex-wife Honey Mitchell accuses newcomer and his potential love interest Estelle of mistreating their daughter Janet

The unlucky-in-love Walford resident was just about to enjoy a drink with the newcomer after she had earlier taken a shine to him when he took Janet to her shoot.

But their date is soon interrupted by Honey as she says some unfavourable things about Estelle after learning that her daughter was not being paid equally to the other children.

Estelle attempted to brush Honey off, noting that the youngster was less experienced than others, but Honey wasn’t having any of it and swiftly put her ex-husband under pressure to sort things out.

With Billy stuck in the middle, just who will he believe – will he let his heart rule over his head? Or will he put his daughter first?

Meanwhile, actress Sue Holderness, 71, has revealed that Estelle has no guilt about short-changing poor Janet, as she stated her character believes it’s just ‘business’.

She told Digital Spy: ‘Estelle doesn’t care — she’s been very successful in her career and doesn’t think anything is wrong at all. 

‘When she’s called out — she simply thinks it’s all part of the business, which of course is absolutely wrong. She thinks she’s completely innocent in it all.’  

The Only Fools and Horses actress, who famously played Boycie’s long-suffering wife Marlene in the hit sitcom, made her first appearance in Walford earlier this week.  

Decisions: With Billy stuck in the middle, just who will he believe - will he let his heart rule over his head? Or will he put his daughter first?
