Eastenders has really upped its game this week and anyone who got through last night’s episode of Tony King’s sick lies being exposed, without being moved was no doubt in the minority.

At the end of the episode we saw Tony being taken away in a police car, but next week he is released on bail and returns to Albert Square in a bid to get Whitney to withdraw her evidence.

Thankfully Ricky Butcher gets his hands on him first and gives him a hiding before sending him packing with a warning never to return.

EastEnders boss Diederick Santer, 39, told the Daily Star: “I think everyone wants to see justice done.

“Ricky is furious with himself for not having a go at Tony when he suspected he was roughing up Whitney.

“So he beats him up.”
