EastEnders Denzel horrified as Craig sends his private photos to Kim and Howie

Denzel Danes faces a devastating birthday in EastEnders when Craig sends his private photos to Kim and Howie, exposing the ordeal he has been desperately trying to keep under control.

Denzel has been threatened by a blackmailer who demands money to keep the photographs private. Desperate to pay them off, he pawns a signet ring that Kim and Howie give him ahead of his birthday.

Craig secretly watches the birthday gathering, and Amy spots him before confronting him. Craig then sends the photos to Kim and Howie out of jealousy, leaving Denzel to face the fallout.

Denzel eventually admits that he sold the ring to pay the blackmailer, revealing the pressure he has been under. Amy turns to Craig afterwards, but his actions have already caused serious damage.

When Amy mentions an upcoming inheritance, Craig sees an opportunity and agrees to leave Walford with her.

Denzel later begins questioning Amy's version of events, suggesting that the consequences of the photo leak could continue to affect their relationships.

EastEnders is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, with episodes also airing on BBC One. Image credit: BBC
