It was a night of decisions for Denise Fox (played by Diane Parish) on EastEnders as she tried to choose between her husband Jack (Scott Maslen) and Ravi (Aaron Thiara).

After last night’s instalment, which saw Jack bust Denise’s hotel key secret, she covered well by lying and saying she wanted a night to herself.

Suspicious Jack had his own theories on what was happening, but Denise held strong.

Going back and forth, Denise eventually came to the realisation (once in bed with Ravi) that she couldn’t betray Jack any more – and while getting dressed, she told Ravi not to contact her any more.

Making her way home to Jack, she made amends with Jack, and they looked set to take things to the bedroom until Denise realised she’d ripped off her wedding ring when she left and needed to get it back on before Jack noticed.

She sent Jack to bed and ran out to the car to locate the missing ring – which thankfully she did – before heading to bed.

Creeping into the room, she found Jack almost asleep and as she sheepishly got into bed, he turned over, saying goodnight. A far cry from how Ravi treated her when she got into his bed…
