EastEnders’ Callum Highway gets the shock of his life next week, when he comes face to face with his jailed husband Ben Mitchell at his dad’s funeral. As Callum gets ready to move forward in his new relationship with Johnny Carter, will Ben’s unexpected reappearance throw a spanner in the works?

With Jonno having suffered a fatal heart attack after coming back into his son’s life, the day of his emotional funeral arrives. It’s a tough day for Callum, so Kathy encourages the Mitchell clan to support him. He is Ben’s husband, after all…

Callum, meanwhile, is continuing his controversial romance with Johnny in secret. He tells his new flame to stay away from the funeral – but as the pair share a kiss, they are spotted by furious Kathy.

Kathy heads straight to the café to tell the Mitchells about this shock betrayal – but when Callum faces the wrath of the entire family, he has a few choice words himself…

The Mitchells agree that they won’t tell Ben about his hubby’s affair, if Callum comes clean to both him and Lexi after Jonno’s send-off. But this clash puts things into perspective for Callum, who invites Johnny to the funeral and tells him that he’s serious about their relationship.

Meanwhile, Stuart returns to the Square on this sombre occasion to say goodbye to his dad and has an emotional reunion with his brother.

Callum and his loved ones arrive at the church – but there’s a shocking twist in store when Ben turns up unannounced.

Oblivious about his spouse’s new romance, Ben supports stunned Callum at Jonno’s graveside and even gives him a kiss, as Johnny and Stuart attempt to keep the devastating truth under wraps.

Phil and Kathy are later reunited with their son back in Walford. Ben explains that he is back from the States for good having been transferred to a UK prison and granted release for the funeral after turning informant on his cellmate.

Johnny urges Callum to keep schtum about their relationship, but Callum is adamant that he must come clean to Ben, and soon…

Will Callum ’fess up to Ben about his feelings for Johnny? And could this bombshell really mark the end of their marriage?
