EastEnders spoilers: Callum struggles with Whitney’s news after she returns from their ‘honeymoon’

EASTENDERS favourite Callum Highway will get a shock in tomorrow night’s episode when ex-fiancee Whitney Dean returns from their honeymoon-that-never-was and drops a major bombshell on him.

The former couple come face-to-face when Whitney – who’s played by Shona McGarty in the BBC soap – heads round to the flat she used to share with the undertaker to collect the rest of her things.

The pair end up having a heart-to-heart which is when Whitney tells Callum her news which leaves him reeling.

Callum struggles to process what she’s told him and heads to the Vic where he drowns his sorrows.

Jay Brown steps in to help a drunk Callum but his plan backfires when he heads over to the Mitchell house to confront Ben, blaming him for what happened between him and Whit.

EastEnders fans saw Callum and Whitney’s wedding end in tears after the groom confessed to having sex with Ben.

But Whitney isn’t going to be alone for long. Spoilers for next week reveal that she will start a fling with Walford’s latest arrival, Leo.

But unknown to the already heartbroken Whit, Leo is the son of evil Tony King who groomed and sexually abused her when she was a teen.

Tony was married to Whitney’s step-mum, Bianca Jackson, at the time of the abuse.

Bianca was unaware that Tony even had a son until he recently sought her out.

It also became clear the pair had a previous run-in, as viewers saw Leo goad Bianca about attacking him as well as her recent spell in prison.

Although seemingly charming, Bianca knows Leo is desperate to clear his father’s name.

Tony later killed himself in prison out of shame for his crimes – and his son is convinced that he was innocent.

Leo – played by Tom Wells – also learnt that his grandparents gave Bianca money after everything that happened with Tony and so now he is on a mission to get back what he thinks is rightfully his.

Meanwhile, Wells is no stranger to television and has previously starred in Doctors and Bancroft.

He said in a statement: “I’m really excited to be joining the EastEnders team and seeing what’s in store for Leo.

“He’s definitely a man not to be trusted and I can’t wait to see him settle into Walford, it’s going to be fun.”

Jon Sen, the show’s executive producer, added: “Bianca’s return sparks a gripping new story with the arrival of Leo King – a dark and misguided figure who has grown up with the stigma of being the son of a convicted paedophile.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tom to the Square, knowing he will bring depth and complexity to the role of Leo, a man who believes his father has been wronged and who will also go to great lengths to prove it.”
