Denzel Danes resorts to stealing to get his way in Thursday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm. See our TV Guide for full listings)

Denzel Danes has been obsessed with getting fit as response to being bullied. The teen was left beaten and humiliated by a gang thugs from school and he felt helpless when they also targeted Yolande Trueman.

Although his best mate Nugget Gulati assured him that there was no shame when he confessed he froze, Denzel couldn't get over it. 

He's feeling particularly vulnerable as Yolande is taking care of him alone after his dad Howie Danes and his girlfriend Kim Fox left the Square to take a contract job on a cruise ship.

When former boxing star George Knight encouraged Denzel to take out his anxieties in the ring, he really took to it. But what should have been a healthy way to let out his aggression took a dark turn.

When Denzel was trolled online for his physique after Nugget posted a video of him doing a workout, he felt humiliated all over again.

After Nugget's sister Avani Nandra-Hart made a flippant comment about steroids, he managed to get hold of the cash to order some online.

When the package arrived, it was confiscated by Yolande, who had no idea what it really contained. With Denzel and Yolande at odds, Nugget tries to intervene and put in a good word for his friend but Denzel is about to ruin everything...

Yolande catches Denzel rummaging in her bag to get his precious package. 

Will she find out what Denzel is up to before he does something dangerously stupid?
