This is the moment that EastEnders bride-to-be Tanya Cross slaps her wayward daughter Lauren in another explosive family argument.
Lauren's (Jacqueline Jossa) behaviour spirals out of control yet again later this month after her cousin Joey informs her that he is saying goodbye to Walford, which leaves her heartbroken as she still has strong feelings for him.
The drama begins when Joey's villainous father Derek gets fed up with his insolence and blackmails Tanya into sorting out the situation, wanting him out of the picture.
Derek urges Tanya (Jo Joyner) to talk Joey into leaving Albert Square, warning that he'll report Lauren's drink-driving to the police if she doesn't co-operate.
Tanya initially refuses to get involved, but is eventually honest with Joey about Derek's threats. Realising that he can't let Derek grass up Lauren, Joey resolves to bow out from the Square.
Heartbroken over Joey's decision and not knowing the reasons for his unexpected choice, Lauren turns to booze for comfort at Tanya's hen party.
In her drunken state, an erratic Lauren later comes clean with Max - telling him the truth about the car crash, her relationship with Joey, and the fact that Tanya knew all along!
With the truth now out, Tanya and Lauren exchange some nasty comments back at home, before the row escalates with Tanya slapping her daughter…

Tanya then has some revelations of her own to deliver as she confesses that Joey still loves Lauren and is only leaving Walford due to Derek's blackmail.
Furious that her mum has known this all along, Lauren grabs Tanya's wedding dress to exact her revenge!
