EastEnders' Sharon Watts uncovers secret in early iPlayer release

The intrigue around Vicki Fowler's (Alice Haig) money worries continued with her having hurried and hushed conversations with Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) in the Square.

With Sharon off the table to ask for money, Vicki and Ross turned their attention around the rest of Walford.

Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) was the first unsuspecting target, with the business owner's reputation for money getting back to the new couple.

Vicki tried to charm him, insisting that she needed some money and that she knows the Beales historically have helped out the Fowlers.

Ian must be going soft in his old age because he considered it for just a moment, before Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) tore apart her proposal in one swoop - after all, Priya knows all too well how to scam an unsuspecting man.

It wasn't long before the whole foray got back to Sharon, who insisted Vicki open up to her if she's got problems.

But later on, Sharon took it upon herself to call Michelle and see what was really going on with Vicki.

While Vicki chilled in the house, Sharon stormed in branding her a liar – she'd spoken to Michelle and knew it was Ross's debt she was trying to cover.

Sharon demanded to know what was going on and who this Ross fella really is.

Will she like the answer?
