EastEnders fans have predicted an affair for Honey Mitchell and Jay Brown after the soap confirmed the two have bonded in lockdown.
Over the last few days, EastEnders has been sharing Instagram stories of characters explaining what has happened to them over lockdown.
Yesterday (Tuesday, August 25) the soap shared a picture of Honey and explained what she has been up to.
The post said: “Rushed back to No.18 to be with her children, Billy and Jay in lockdown.
“Started working back at the Minute Mart.
“With Billy being out most of the time, Honey has bonded with Jay, who has been really understanding of her recovery.”
However fans think this will lead to an affair between Honey and Jay.
If Jay and Honey start an affair …. we riot! #EastEnders
