EastEnders' Zainab Masood is left red-faced in a fortnight's time when she ends up falling into a pile of paint pots after an argument with Christian.
Furious that Amira's hired Christian to redecorate her and Syed's new flat, Zainab calls on the book club to come together Changing Rooms-style and renovate the newlyweds' flat.
Shirley, Heather and Denise reluctantly agree to help out but they're livid when they hear that Christian's being paid and they're not. The women walk out on Zainab, leaving her and Christian together to paint everything themselves.
The atmosphere's tense between Christian and Zainab and tempers soon fray when the matriarchal Masood snaps and accuses Christian of trying to steal her son. Christian's furious by Zainab's insinuation and retorts with a sly remark, which further enrages her.
Venting her frustration, Zainab throws an entire tin of paint over Christian and continues her verbal assault in the hope that he'll stay away from Syed. A cool, calm and collected Christian refuses to rise to the situation or retaliate but the scuffle between the pair results in Zainab falling into the paint pots - just as Syed and Masood walk in...
These scenes air on Friday, April 9 at 8pm on BBC One.
