Disgusting Craig spreads intimate teen photos in EastEnders leaving a family in shock

Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) and his family are left in distress after intimate photos of him are leaked in EastEnders next week.

The teen has been targeted by DC Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey) after he discovered a shirtless picture of him while possessively going through girlfriend Amy Mitchell’s (Ellie Dadd) phone.

With the calculated copper having groomed Amy, he was immediately angered by the old image of her ex-boyfriend and took possession of it to torment Denzel.

Craig then hit the lad with a threatening and anonymous demand for money, else he would leak the photo.

Next week, Denzel grows desperate, and Craig continues to put pressure on him for cash.

Denzel’s mate Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) offers to help by stealing money from the Minute Mart, but they are stopped in their tracks when Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) drops by.

He’s able to raise the funds after his dad Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) and stepmum Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) surprise him with a signet ring ahead of his birthday celebrations, which he then pawns.

But the cash is not enough to stop Craig’s disgusting actions.

As Denzel’s family and friends later gather to celebrate his birthday, Craig secretly watches from afar, but Amy spots and confronts him.

Flying into a jealous rage, he then sends Denzel’s photos to Kim and Howie, leaving Denzel and his loved ones horrified.

Denzel later presses Amy for answers, believing her version of events does not stack up, but she evades his questions. 

While her ex struggles with recent events, Amy continues to fall deeper and deeper under Craig’s controlling spell, and they make plans to leave Walford together with her inheritance money. 

Will Craig’s true colours be exposed before it’s too late?
