There's drama heading for EastEnders tonight as Mel follows Ray after digging for more dirt on his secret double life. But what will she unearth?

EastEnders favourite Mel Owen could have have her world torn apart once again when she follows ex husband Ray Kelly after a night out.

We have known that Ray has a secret life for a while now, but it is only recently that Mel has started doing some digging on her ex, trying to find out exactly what games he has been playing.

Mel was shocked to discover Ray was married with a young son, something that he just happened to forget to tell her about when they were reunited after he arrived in the Square back in September.

But Mel hasn't let on that she knows, pretending to go along with his lies every time says he's off to work - knowing that he is actually with Maddie and Jake.

But with a New Year wedding on the cards, Mel has got the ultimate plan to stitch cheating Ray up once and for all - until tonight's dramas throws her entirely off course.
