It was an emotional week for Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and George Knight (Colin Salmon) on EastEnders this week, as viewers saw the couple go their separate ways. Now, new spoilers tease even more drama to come, revealing that George packs his bags and leaves The Queen Vic next week.

Secrets were coming out left right and centre, with the turmoil starting when Junior revealed George had gone to see his ex-wife Sabrina on Christmas night. He insisted he rejected her advances, and Elaine was ready to forgive. However, things took a dramatic turn when she saw her husband being comforted by ex wife Cindy Beale.

This left a devastated Elaine reaching out to old friend Drew Peacock for help. After his words of advice, Elaine cheated on George with a punter called Stephen. They then got their relationship back on track, but Elaine couldn’t hold in the secret for long.

She came clean to George, who couldn’t see past the betrayal and on Friday night the pair told Gina and Kojo they had decided to go their separate ways.

Next week, George’s best mate Phil Mitchell will be stepping in, as he tries to convince George that he should forgive Elaine. However, when George goes to tell Elaine she deserves a second chance, she’s furious and that he hasn’t taken responsibility for his part in their break-up and rejects him.

Things get even crazier when a tipsy Elaine offers to book Priya a singles cruise – telling her she can pay her back later.

Linda is left horrified when she sees £5k has left the business account, but when she tries to confront Elaine, she dismisses her.

There’s no surprises when Elaine wakes up with a raging hangover the next morning, and refuses to engage with Linda, who is still reeling at her decision to book Priya on the cruise.
