Stu then confessed to the crime after his DNA was found all over the young woman – but now maintains his innocence after a devastating wrongful conviction. New ITV spoilers reveal that this week viewers will find out that Stu was coerced into making a confession and will be released from behind bars.

During Monday's episode as Zeedan (Qasim Akhtar) and Alya (Sair Khan) sort through the case files, they come across Stu’s interview tapes. Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) points out that Stu was questioned for over 10 hours which is against the rules and that there’s also a tape missing.

Alya visits Stu in prison but they’re interrupted by the arrival of her grandmother Yasmeen and once Alya leaves, Stu tells Yasmeen the whole story of his affair with Charlie. Later on, Yasmeen tells Zeedan and Alya how Stu wants them to talk to his solicitor, Norman, who confirms that Stu was coerced into making the confession.

Alya then puts pressure on Yasmeen to allow Stu to move back in as it’s clear he’s innocent and has nowhere else to go. A couple of days later, as Stu heads out of the prison gates, he’s shocked to find Yasmeen waiting for him.

EastEnders airs horror for Jack Branning this week, when his teen daughter Amy Mitchell collapses in the street after taking drugs. The character is trying to impress some fellow youngsters, but it leaves her fighting for her life.

It all kicks off when her pal Lily Slater comes across some drugs that have fallen out of the purse of Jada Lennox - who was handed them by Stuart Highway. Despite Denise Fox confiscating them, Lily manages to get them and takes them to the group.

When Lily shows the pills to Amy later on, Amy decides to take half of one in her bid to impress Denzel. But things take a dark turn later on after Denise and Amy's dad Jack Branning realise the pills are missing, and that the group might have them.

As they finally track Amy, Lily and the rest down, there's panic when Amy suddenly collapses in front of them.
