EastEnders' Callum Highway attacks secret lover Ben Mitchell in explosive showdown

EastEnders airs explosive scenes this week, as Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway come to blows amid their secret affair.

With pressure building ahead of his wedding to Whitney Dean, Callum, played by actor Tony Clay, lashes out at Ben - amid hopes from fans Ballum will finally happen.

Callum and Ben slept together recently behind Whit's back, and since then he's been struggling with his sexuality and feelings for Ben.

Now, ahead of the big day, it all gets too much for him as he attacks Ben, leaving him bloodied on the floor.
