BBC EastEnders Nadine 'rumbled' as characters team up to uncover secret in huge twist

Nadine will be 'rumbled' on EastEnders next week - as two residents are convinced she's hiding something.

The returning character arrived last week when she announced to Jay Brown that she was pregnant with his child. He was left reeling by the news and struggled to cope with all that was going on, as Nadine admitted she needed his help.

However, some fans are convinced Nadine is hiding something after being left surprised by her return. Next week on the BBC soap, Lexi will ask the recently returned Stevie Mitchell - Billy's dad - to help her find out the truth about Nadine.

When Stevie quizzes Nadine on the pregnancy and suggests she gets a DNA test, she reacts strangely and that only fuels Stevie's suspicions about her. But is he right to be suspicious - or is he way off the mark?

Speaking about how Jay reacts to the news, Jamie Borthwick shared: "He steps up to the responsibility that he doesn't want. We all know Jay, he's a good man, as Perry Fenwick calls him, he's a good man.

"So he does certainly live up to the responsibility - I think he's sucked into this dream, he buys into it. He absolutely has no reason to not believe, so yeah, he's all for it, and he steps up when called upon because he is a good man."

Jamie has loved having actress Jazzy Phoenix back on the show. He shared: "Annoying, so annoying, she drives me mad! D'you know what, from her first spell, she's never left. I've seen her probably three times a week since she's gone!

"She's a really sought-after member of the party - she fits in great, everyone loves her - so it was really nice for us to do a bit of work together again. It was really nice having her back."

Whilst all this has been going on, Jay - and Jamie - have been training for the London Marathon, which took place over the weekend.

"He's a bit all over the place, really. At this particular moment on-screen, the other little blondie's about to walk back in, the old little Lola lookalike, she's about to walk back in. So it's little bit all over the place at the moment, but the marathon has kind of taken a backseat with all this, what's going on with Nadine's return and the Oppenheimer bomb that she drops," he said.
