EastEnders spoilers – Amy shocked as Denzel lashes out at her amid steroid secret
Amy has concerns for her boyfriend. Will she be able to stop him before it’s too late?
Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) is taken aback by boyfriend Denzel Danes’ (Jaden Ladega) behaviour in upcoming EastEnders scenes after a shocking outburst.
Denzel’s spiral of self-destruction began when he was attacked by cruel school bullies in January, with his friends mocking him for the incident and family friend Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) coming to his rescue.
Feeling the need to learn self defence, he began attending regular training sessions at the Boxing Den.
Seeing red after being spurred on to have a friendly boxing match with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), he hit her hard and was forced to apologise.
Amy has concerns for her boyfriend
Things went from bad to worse when fitness influencer Gains Guv’nor (Sanchez Brown) encouraged him to record a social media video showing off his technique.
Best mate Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) twisted the knife when he uploaded the footage online without his consent, leading to a spate of nasty comments flooding in.
The BBC soap recently revealed that the storyline was about to take a troubling turn…
Adamant that he wanted to improve his physique, Denzel convinced Yolande to give him money to buy anabolic steroids under the guise that the cash was to be used for a school trip.
In upcoming scenes, Amy confronts him over the fact he has chosen to attend the gym again rather than prioritising their relationship.
Furious that she has questioned his newfound interest, Denzel snaps at her but immediately feels guilty and heads home for the delivery of his purchase.
Later in the week, he comes head to head with Yolande when she questions him on his diet and when they head home, she retrieves the mysterious package of pills and hides it from him.
Following advice from Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy), she continues to press him for information and insists that if he wants his parcel back, he’ll have to give her answers.
When Nugget speaks to Yolande at the Laundrette, Kat spots Denzel sneaking into her handbag to retrieve the steroids.
