*Warning: Contains spoilers for tonight\u2019s EastEnders episode (28th May 2024), currently available on BBC iPlayer.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/a> has confirmed the truth behind Nish Panesar\u2019s shock return to Walford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap concluded its episode on Monday with Nish (Navin Chowdhry) claiming that he has returned to Walford to be with his family because he is dying.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s episode opened with Nish claiming that he is terminally ill due to a virus that is causing his heart to fail and that it would eventually kill him.<\/p>\n

Despite his attempts to appeal to his ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and sons Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota), his claims found no pity and all assumed he was indeed lying. Nish was then forced to leave his former home once more.<\/p>\n

Later, Nish paid a visit to the cafe and checked in on Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris), giving his condolences for her loss of brother Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).<\/p>\n

Bernie pushed Nish to not give up on his family as nothing is more important.<\/p>\n

Nish also attempted to appeal to Ravi\u2019s ex and his former ally Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) but she too was unsympathetic and soon received back-up from Ravi when he arrived.<\/p>\n

Tracking down his grandson after overhearing a conversation from Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega), Nish headed to McKlunky\u2019s and asked to speak to Davinder \u201cNugget\u201d Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) and appeared to his desire to be a man to speak with his grandfather.<\/p>\n

However, this appeal to Nugget was interrupted when Ravi caught them speaking and he flew into a rage at Nish and even slammed him against the wall.<\/p>\n

Then, Nish keeled over in severe pain and was clutching his chest on the floor, prompting Nugget to implore his dad to call an ambulance.<\/p>\n

In the hospital, Suki showed up alongside son Vinny as the family waited to hear what the doctors had to say.<\/p>\n

It was then that a doctor confirmed that Nish was indeed telling the truth about being terminally ill and that his heart was failing at a quicker rate than doctors anticipated after being diagnosed with viral myocarditis.<\/strong><\/p>\n
