EastEnders: Denise almost cheats on Jack – and fans are thrilled

Does she deserve better?

Denise Fox in EastEnders almost cheated on husband Jack Branning tonight after Ravi Gulati leaned in for a kiss.

But she told him he’d got the wrong idea about them and rushed inside.

It’s clear she was tempted though – and fans are delighted, demanding an affair between the pair.

Denise and Ravi flirt in EastEnders

After Ravi broke up the party that his son Nugget instigated at the Branning/Fox house, Denise was impressed.

Although Jack was rude to Ravi, Denise was grateful and later sought him out to tell him.

As Ravi was getting an earful from Nish and Suki, Denise stepped in to defend him and it was obvious there was a spark.

In tonight’s episode (Thursday January 12) Ravi and Denise shared a drink together. She was feeling down after another row with Jack and drowned her sorrows at Peggy’s.

Denise told a flirty Ravi: “I love him [Jack], but sometimes things aren’t as easy as they should be.”

“I just hope he realises how lucky he is,” Ravi told her.

They walked home together and Ravi leant in to kiss her.

“What are you doing?” Denise asked.

“I’m so sorry, I thought…” Ravi replied.

“You thought wrong, didn’t ya?” Denise said and walked across the Square home.

As she let herself into the house, Jack was waiting and he apologised, telling her how scared he was he was going to lose Amy.

Denise hugged him, but in her eyes it was clear there was an air of regret for not kissing Ravi back.

Will she cheat?

“I’m so here for Denise and Ravi,” said another.

Dubbing them ‘Ravise’, someone else said they “have chemistry. I love Jack and Denise, but Ravi and Denise are [fire]. Reminds me of when Denise was with Kush. I love Jack and Denise but…”

“Ravi and Denise to have an affair, you heard it here first,” shared one more.
