EastEnders' Callum Highway will make a big decision about his future with Ben Mitchell as his dad Jonno returns next week.

We've already revealed how the popular pair will be going on a disastrous date in next week's episodes, but new spoilers have shedded some light on why things don't go according to plan.

After agreeing to go on a date with Callum, Ben (Max Bowden) begins to wonder if it's a good idea after both Ian and Jay comment on his history with men.

Having done another dodgy deal at The Arches, Ben finds his problems getting worse when Stuart arrives and pleads with him not to hurt Callum (Tony Clay).

Despite his doubts, Ben follows through with the plan and meets Callum, but leaves him gutted by inviting Jay and Lola too.

During the date, Callum grows further upset when Ben makes absolutely no effort at all and eventually decides to leave.

However, amid their latest dispute, the siblings are soon given bigger things to worry about as a surprise visitor turns up in Walford – their dad Jonno.

Despite being warned to leave, Jonno spots Callum on the Square and it's not long before things are quickly escalating between father and son.

Meanwhile, after discovering Stuart meddled with his date, Callum tries to speak to Ben but doesn't get the response he was after.

With Ben clearly upset about everything as well, Lola decides to intervene and gives Callum some much-needed advice.

Urged on by Lola, Callum decides to seek out Ben at The Vic – where he declares that he wants them to go on another date.

Not only is Callum left surprised by Ben's response, but his day soon gets even worse when Jonno arrives in the pub and learns that the wedding was cancelled.

As everyone tries to cover up the reason why, Callum takes matters into his own hands and stands up to his dad.

With the situation intensifying, Callum finds support from an unlikely source – but who is it? And where does all this leave his future with Ben?
