EastEnders' Ian Beale kicks out 'devil child' Bobby in evil Islamophobic attack

Ian Beale disgusted EastEnders viewers tonight by kicking his own son out onto the street after some vile Islamophobic slurs.

The police arrived on the day of Bobby's conversion ceremony, prompting evil Ian to claim Bobby was "groomed" in young offenders.

The nasty cafe owner then asked Bobby if he had been looking up bomb making online before stating: "Islamic fundamentalism is not welcome in this house."

Bobby banned his dad from the ceremony and was elated when his friends came for support, but his joy turned to anger when he heard Ian's disgusting confession back home.

The teenager walked in just as Ian told Sharon Mitchell that Bobby was "twisted" deep down inside and asked: "How can I love somebody like that?"

Furious Bobby didn't hold back and asked why his dad thought he was a "twisted devil child no one can love".

As tensions escalated, Ian ordered Max Branning to leave, but Bobby wanted him to stay because he had been "more of a father".

But this sent Ian into a furious rage as he nastily blasted Bobby for killing Lucy and being "sick in the head".

With Bobby in tears, angry Ian started violently shoving his son before throwing him out onto the street.

Max tried to comfort an inconsolable Bobby as he looked up at Dennis, who had set his rival up by calling the police as revenge for punching him.

With Ian refusing to back down, he told Kathy: "I'm well rid. I don't need him. I don't need anyone."

Enraged EastEnders viewers called Ian 'scum' as they took to Twitter to blast the character.

One viewer said: "Ian! OMG! disgusting what he did and said to bobby! really don’t like his character"

"My heart broke for Bobby I could relate so much to him and that's th sad part.. having a parent you care about not love you is heartbreaking and so emotionally draining," added another.

A third said: "Ian beale is filth! his attitude towards ruby was out of order but what he did to bobby tonight was another level"

"AND ALSO YOU IAN! YOU ARE THE MOST SCUM DISGUSTING MALE CHARACTER EVER! YOU DESERVE NOTHING BUT YOUR TOXIC POISONOUS SELF! KARMA WILL HIT YOU LIKE A ENDLESS CURSE," shouted a fourth.

*EastEnders airs on BBC One on Mondays and Fridays at 8pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm
