AVANI Nandra-Hart’s secret boyfriend is set to be revealed in EastEnders.

When Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman) arrived on the Square, she made sure to give him a proper introduction.

The pair have since become close friends on EastEnders, but Avani (Aaliyah James) soon became distracted.

When she was supposed to be hanging out with Barney, she was distracted as she was busy texting a mystery man.

Barney became fed up and their friendship suffered when she was questioned by her new pal.

But soon her secret boyfriend will be revealed, and it’s not what you might think.

Avani will start to hang out with the boy who she has been secretly messaging.

His name is Mason (Alex Draper) and he is significantly older than his new partner as he is 18.

Meanwhile, Avani is only 15-years-old and Barney will interrupt the pair and reveal her true age.

Mason will be left absolutely shocked at the revelation as he thought she was actually studying at university.

However, she brushes off his concerns and the pair once again resume their romantic relationship.

They will both share a loving kiss with each other as Avani chooses to continue dating her older man.

However, it’s clear that she still does not want the rest of Walford to know about her budding romance.

Later, she will strong-arm Barney into silence as she makes him stay quiet about Mason.

For the time being, he will keep her secret and Avani will be grateful to him.

But will she be able to keep her relationship under the radar?
