There’s a very awkward sex shock in store for EastEnders’ Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) and newcomer Josh (Joshua Vaughan) after they give in to passion this week.

Teasing some of the scenes ahead, EastEnders boss Ben Wadey also said: ‘As always with the Slaters and Truemans, nothing is ever straightforward, and the arrival of Sandra and Josh prom
