EastEnders' Mick Carter is set to tell his wife Linda Carter that he has cheated on her.

The pub landlord - who is played by Danny Dyer - may be about to ruin his marriage for good after he decides to confess to the blonde beauty (Kellie Bright) that he shared a passionate smooch with their daughter-in-law Whitney (Shona McGarty) while she was looking after her ailing mother Elaine Peacock (Maria Friedman) abroad.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Viewers will know by then that there is nothing between Mick and Whitney at all, it was just one of those unfortunate things between two people in dark places that never should have happened.

"As Linda lets rip, Mick starts off all humble but soon defends himself, pointing out all the things he's had to deal with while she's been away. It's a proper humdinger. Can they come back from this? It's impossible to tell."

The dramatic scenes comes after Whitney returns to Walford to announce that she is now engaged to Woody Woodward (Lee Ryan) - just months after her husband Lee Carter (Danny-Boy Hatchard) fled without a word - and it doesn't sit well with her family.

Although the brunette barmaid's news leaves the entire Carter clan gobsmacked, things are set to take a turn for the worse when Whitney asks to host her engagement party inside the family's pub, the Queen Victoria, as it's not known whether Mick will allow Woody back into the boozer.
