EASTENDERS villain Joel Marshall has sunk to a new low – by blackmailing Tommy Moon over the sick sexual assault.

The teenage incel tricked his pal Tommy into filming a prank on the tube that was actually a pre-meditated sexual assault on a random woman.

Joel was caught after the woman complained and Tommy fled, horrified at what had happened.

In today’s episode Tommy was cornered by Joel’s stepmother Vicky who threatened him into keeping quiet or she would ensure he suffered for Joel’s actions too.

Despite Vicki’s threats, Tommy spent most of the day trying to avoid Joel, determined to escape his grasp.

But when he found him in the cafe, he had no choice and tried to put distance between them.

However Joel wasn’t having any of it.

Instead, the incel creep decided to force Tommy to be his friend with a vile threat.

Tommy told him: “All I’m saying is… we might not be able to hang out as much.”

Joel replied: “Meh. Do what you like. I’m ain’t really that bothered. Just don’t forget who your real mates are. I ain’t told Vicki about you having that video. I easily could’ve done, I thought we were good.”

He then told Tommy that he could delete the video so he didn’t get in trouble – and just asked him to forward it to him first.

Tommy fell for it and then Joel told him: “You do know that you’re not completely off the hook though, right?

“Well now it’s on my phone and it’s obvious that you filmed it and you shared it with me.

“Don’t look so worried. We’re mates again so I’m not going to snitch on you just like you’re not going to snitch on me.”

Tommy looked trapped by Joel’s threats and things are only going to get worse for the troubled teenager.
