Denise is finally forced to put aside her pride to go to the job centre in EastEnders

Jane is frustrated when Ian finds it difficult to stick to a healthy lifestyle. But suggesting he join a slimming club doesn’t go down too well! Fed up with Jane’s nagging, Ian moans to Woody. When Woody is able to offer some wise words, Ian is given food for thought.

Also, things get even worse for Jack, and Carmel’s in trouble when the stallholders find out she’s had an interview with the council.
