Over on EastEnders, Walford minx Mandy Salter struggles with the arrival of her mum Lorraine - but finds an unlikely ally in Lucy Beale.
Lorraine (Victoria Alcock) causes chaos upon her arrival in Albert Square as she drinks heavily, steals money from Ian's wallet and makes a number of hurtful remarks towards Mandy (Nicola Stapleton). Unfortunately for Mandy, Ian is oblivious to Lorraine's true colours and insists that she must stay.
When Lorraine later joins the Beales for a family meal at the Argee Bhajee, Lucy (Hetti Bywater) becomes increasingly annoyed as she realises that the outspoken alcoholic isn't just bullying Mandy but is manipulating Ian (Adam Woodyatt) too.
Lucy soon takes matters into her own hands by revealing that Lorraine has stolen cash from Ian. Ian is shocked by the revelation and makes his displeasure clear, but when Lorraine bites back by mocking Mandy and Ian's relationship, Mandy sees red and throws a drink in her face!
