EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow for Thursday\u2019s episode (1 May), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EastEnders\u2019 Nicola Mitchell has confirmed a horrifying twist about Shireen Bashar\u2019s death<\/a> \u2013 and Teddy finally knows the truth.<\/p>\n

The discovery of Shireen\u2019s body and Benji\u2019s arrest<\/a> led the police to Nicola\u2019s door, and heartbroken Harry grew suspicious about his mum\u2019s involvement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He confronted Nicola in the empty bar in today\u2019s episode, having found out through Asad that the bracelet didn\u2019t belong to Shireen and Nicola was desperately trying to flog Harry\u2019s Barn.<\/p>\n

Harry demanded the truth once and for all and broke down in tears over Shireen. He threatened to set the bar on fire, claiming to now have nothing left to live for.<\/p>\n

He then turned violent and was set to attack his mum with a crowbar, but Teddy arrived in time to stop him.<\/p>\n

Pushed to breaking point, Nicola confessed that she hired Benji to scare Shireen off, claiming that she thought she was abroad until a few days ago.<\/p>\n

Harry also found out that Teddy tipped off the police about Benji, to make sure that Nicola wasn\u2019t implicated in a crime she didn\u2019t commit. <\/p>\n

He raged at both his parents for their cover-up, as he has been treated as the prime suspect in Shireen\u2019s murder for the past four years.<\/p>\n

After another violent struggle, Harry told both his parents that they were dead to him<\/a> and promised to “bury them” to get justice for Shireen.<\/p>\n

Once alone, Teddy consoled Nicola, who slipped up and said that she wished she had never asked Benji to move Shireen\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Teddy registered what Nicola had just said and realised that his ex-wife hadn\u2019t been honest with him or Harry about what happened to Shireen.<\/p>\n

“We had an argument, and she fell,” Nicola finally admitted, “and there was nothing I could do. It was me, Teddy. I killed her. It was an accident, I swear.”<\/p>\n

Teddy was livid, having defended her and helped to cover up the crime, and Nicola asked him what he was going to do next.<\/p>\n

Will Teddy tell Harry the real truth about Shireen\u2019s death?<\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/strong> airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n
