When she arrived in EastEnders, she competed with Kim Fox for the cocktail job at The Prince Albert.

And while Kim has no hard feelings, she’s still going to find herself putting Mila in danger next week.

With Kim launching her new business venture The Foxcatcher – a matchmaking service – Mila has been drawn into it.

EastEnders: Iqra gives Mila another chance

The three women are at Walford East with the journalist and the photographer from the paper.

It’s all going well until the photographer snaps a picture of Mila and sends her into a raging meltdown.

Her behaviour sees Iqra leave, and could kill off the feature altogether – which would be happy news for Mila.

Later, Kim talks Iqra into giving Mila a chance to explain.
