It was a shocking day for Davinder ‘Nugget’ Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) in the

latest edition of EastEnders, as his storyline came to a worrying head.

Nugget and best pal Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) have been training for a tournament

at The Boxing Den, all the while taking illegal steroids. This soon made Nugget ill, and suspicious Zack Hudson (James Farrar) told him he wasn’t fit to fight in the match after all.

Denzel noticed that Nugget wasn’t looking well, but denied suffering symptoms himself when asked. When Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) goaded Nugget, Nugget reacted with violence, and after Zack stepped in, he insisted to Ravi that something was seriously wrong with the teen, before Denzel dragged Nugget away.

Meanwhile, Nugget’s mum Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) was playing with fire by using Suki Panesar’s (Balvinder Sopal) credit card to order clothes online! Terminally ill Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) then warned a slacking Priya that she would be out of a job when he died, leaving the Minute Mart in new hands.
