MICHELLE’S TRYING TO BEX CLEVER

Battered and bruised after smashing her car into Ian Beale’s chip shop, Michelle is desperate to make amends for seducing Bex’s boyfriend. During last week’s dramatic episodes, Michelle’s affair with young Preston Cooper was finally exposed by Bex in front of the Queen Vic regulars.

Bex lost her virginity to the American charmer, so the troubled teenager was left feeling upset and betrayed by her aunt.

Michelle sped around the square in her car after her teenage lover before careering into Beale’s Plaice.

But while her crash injuries will heal, it’s not looking good for her relationship with her family – especially with poor Bex.

An EastEnders insider said: “Everyone is disgusted with Michelle. She lied about Preston’s identity for months and even when confronted by her family she had no excuse for the way she behaved.

“Poor Bex got caught up in it all as Preston used her to get back at Michelle. Michelle nearly killed herself and her family are still struggling with the news of her affair.

“Bex feels completely let down and betrayed. So when Michelle tries to talk to her in the square she refuses to listen.

“Michelle pleads with her niece to hear her out but Bex is not about to forgive and forget after what she has been put through.”

Fans will be able to watch all the drama as the fall-out from Michelle’s affair continues this week.
