EastEnders’ Michelle Fowler’s toyboy lover has arrived in Walford to find her.
It was a disappointing Valentine’s Day for Michelle after she got hammered in The Albert the night before and made a fool of herself propositioning a young lad in there.
“Have we met before?” she twinkled at the guy at the bar before ordering herself “whatever he’s having”.
Fans were not impressed at her behaviour and took to Twitter to say how uncomfortable they found the whole thing.
“Cringing hard at Michelle tonight,” Matt said.
And Gee_McK said “Oh Michelle you’re an embarrassment.”
Cringing hard at Michelle tonight, for someone who learned from her mistakes it didn't take much for her to fall back into them #Eastenders

She woke up with a head full of regret the following morning, but was brightened to see she’d received a mystery Valentine’s card. Her happiness was short lived when she discovered her brother Martin had sent it to cheer her up and she didn’t have a secret admirer after all.
As a fed up ‘Chelle headed home after spending her Valentine’s night babysitting, she dropped the card and as she bent down to pick it up, an American voice asked:
“Do I have some competition?”
“Preston?” a shocked Michelle couldn’t believe he was standing there.
But she registered pretty quickly as he told her he’d been waiting out there for over an hour, and he was rewarded for his patience with a passionate kiss.

Oh er, what are the neighbours going to say about this?!
So far, only Sharon knows what Michelle got up to in the US with Preston, but with him in town, there’s no way the cougar can keep this a secret.
With the residents already sniggering at Michelle following her drunken antics on Monday night, it’s likely she’s set to become the subject of Square gossip again.
Is Pretson sticking around for a while? Can their relationship really work? And will it be enough to get sulky Michelle smiling again?
