EastEnders’ Phil Mitchell is set to reveal a devastating secret later this month after he’s rocked by a big change.
This year, Phil has been the sole carer of his childhood friend Nigel, who is living with early on-set dementia.
But Nigel’s estranged wife Julie recently arrived in Walford and vowed to take her husband home after learning the truth about his diagnosis.
Nigel didn’t want to leave Albert Square though, so it was eventually decided that Julie would move in too. Phil and Julie have come together to support Nigel, though they haven’t exactly seen eye to eye.
