Privacy NoticeEastEnders’ Ian Beale’s secret is about to be exposed following his shifty behaviour in recent episodes. The Walford businessman’s odd demeanour this week has raised eyebrows, with Cindy (played by Michelle Collins) and their son Peter (Thomas Law) growing increasingly worried that Ian is hiding something. Brushing off their queries, Ian tells his family that he’s running for council again, but they’re not buying his story. Ian, played by Adam Woodyatt, heads to a supposed council meeting, but Peter isn’t convinced and decides to do some digging. After getting in touch with the council, Peter finds out his dad has been lying and demands answers.

Ian’s strange antics continue into next week’s episodes of the BBC soap when he plans to leave the Square for a supposed leadership training course in Manchester, reports the Daily Star. He tells Cindy she can’t accompany him, which only raises more questions. Curious, Cindy sneaks a peek into Ian’s suitcase, wondering what her partner is up to. Thinking that Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) is covering for Ian, Cindy confronts her with her concerns and grills her. Kathy fires back with some advice, leading Cindy to directly confront Ian and ask if he’s having an affair, which he vehemently denies. However, Cindy later uncovers another clue that sends her suspicions skyrocketing, and she asks George Knight (Colin Salmon) to drive her to a mysterious address.

Peter later discovers Cindy’s location and, in a bid to uncover the truth, he borrows Martin Fowler’s (James Bye) van and tails them. In the meantime, Bobby Beale (Clay Milner-Russell) is equally intrigued and, feeling left out of their dad’s drama by Peter, he secretly hops into the back of the van. While it’s still under wraps what Cindy and George stumble upon at this address, Peter and Bobby make their appearance just as they’re confronting Ian, escalating the tension. Back home, an exhausted Cindy struggles to sleep, worn out by the recent events. Eventually, she decides to confront Ian, but she’s in for another surprise as her partner has more news to share. Distressed by their conversation, Cindy seeks solace at The Vic with a drink where she finds comfort from Peter. But what secret is Ian keeping? EastEnders fans will have to tune in to see how the drama unfolds from Monday, July 15.
