Disgusted fans of EastEnders have demanded that Cindy Beale call off her affair with Junior Knight. The pair began sleeping together not long after his arrival in Walford. And, as George began spending less time in the company of his ex-wife (thanks, Elaine!) a spurned Cindy turned to Junior for comfort.
Since then, the pair have been inseparable – their heated affair only exacerbated once Cindy learned that Ian had been spending time with his own ex, Jane. And in last night’s episode (which aired Monday, August 12), Cindy and Junior were almost caught in the act.
As Cindy talked down a panicking Bobby, Junior hid in the next room, waiting to get passionate again.
