EastEnders spoilers follow from Tuesday's episode, which is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer. This article contains storyline details that some viewers may prefer to avoid, as this episode hasn't yet aired on TV.
EastEnders' Kat Mitchell made a risky move in the show's latest episode (January 23) as she continued to grow close to Nish Panesar.
Kat has been left devastated after learning that her husband Phil cheated on her last year and has found surprise support from Nish – who is dealing with the breakdown of his own marriage.
Kat's new friendship has already sparked concern from those around her, especially as Nish is offering her a place to live for free, which is entirely out of character.
Tuesday's episode, which is already available to watch on BBC iPlayer, saw Stacey make another attempt to warn Kat off Nish, after learning he'd asked her on a date.
Stacey decided to tell Kat the truth about what Nish did to Eve, hoping that would deter her for good.
What to Read Next
Kat was initially horrified over what Nish had done and stormed over to confront him herself.
Nish explained to Kat that it while it was true, he only acted out of hurt and insisted it was a moment of madness.
Kat then made the questionable decision to give Nish another chance, and agreed to go on a date with him after all.
Over dinner at Walford East, Kat and Nish were having fun until Phil walked in and made some cruel jibes to Kat, upsetting her.
Nish comforted her afterwards, and invited her back to his place so she could calm down.
After continuing to drink, Kat and Nish were soon kissing passionately.
Explaining Kat and Nish's new romance, Navin Chowdhry – who plays Nish – said: "Nish needs to find a way to put himself back on top.
"He is the very definition of a wounded animal and he has to prove to himself and others who he is again.
"Nish is looking to re-establish his authority on everything and everybody around him and with that will bring more conflict."
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
