EastEnders fans can't stop crying over emotional Ben and Callum scene

EastEnders fans can't stop crying over tonight's emotional Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway scene.

The pair had a showdown in the street after Callum's dad attacked Ben in the Queen Vic toilets.

Ben claimed he stopped battering Jonno because he didn't want him to take it out on Callum.

Trying to get Callum to open up, Ben said: "Do you know what hurt more, more than my old man, his criticism. The things he used to say, I was telling myself those things too.

"Telling myself I was dirty. That who I was was wrong."

Ben moved closer in towards Callum, but both were unaware that Stuart was watching from across the market.

"You don't have to do this," said Ben before tenderly kissing Callum on the cheek.

The pair then held hands in an emotional moment before parting ways.

However, there could be trouble ahead as Stuart witnessed the whole interaction.

Stuart, who despises Ben, looked furious as he watched Phil's son kiss his brother.
