EastEnders' Iqra Ahmed will shock her family by announcing that she's in a relationship next week.
Iqra’s mysterious behaviour has been called into question over the last few weeks, as it’s become increasingly clear that she’s been keeping a secret from her loved ones.
Upcoming scenes will see the truth come to light when Mariam picks up on the ongoing tension between Iqra, Habiba and Adam when the family come together for Eid.
As Mariam demands to know what’s going on, Iqra makes an announcement about her own love life – keen to save Habiba from an awkward conversation.
Wanting to stop Mariam from finding out what’s been going on between Habiba and Adam, Iqra diverts the attention onto her and reveals that she’s been seeing someone.
While alone with Habiba later on, Iqra reveals to her sister that this wasn’t actually lie – she is in a relationship and has been for some time.
What to Read Next
Desperate to know more, Habiba questions Iqra about her partner afterwards and later confides in Honey that she didn’t know what was going on in her sister’s life.
Back at home, Mariam and Arshad scold Iqra for not being honest with them, but Habiba quickly steps in to save the day.
Later, Iqra apologises for lying to Mariam and Arshad, but when they insist she brings her partner over for dinner, she takes drastic action and moves into Robbie’s spare room.
Recent tabloid reports have suggested that Iqra will send shockwaves through her Muslim family when she comes out as gay.
EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday, August 12 and Tuesday, August 13 on BBC One.
