Bex Fowler’s crush on Kush Kazemi reaches new heights next week when she engineers more ways to spend time alone with him.
EastEnders fans will have seen that Bex has developed feelings for her dad’s best friend over recent weeks, and it looks like her crush is showing no signs of easing.
With the pressure of her studies getting too much for her, the 18-year-old has been turning to Kush to take her mind off going to university, and as the pair have spent more time together, Bex has been falling for the market trader and even tried to kiss him.

Before he was brutally killed in a vicious knife attack last year, Bex had dated Kush’s younger brother Shakil Kazemi, and the pair have bonded over how much they miss him over recent weeks.
But could Bex be mistaking their shared love for Shakil as something more? Or are her feelings towards Kush genuine?
Next week Sonia realises that her daughter is struggling and organises a pamper day for Bex to take her mind off things.
However when Sonia continues to talk about Tiffany all the time and starts sending Bianca updates, Bex gets fed up with not being the centre of her mum’s attention.
Bex goes to see Martin, hoping her dad can offer some advice.
But he thinks that she needs some much-deserved time away from the books and suggests that she starts exercising to get some fresh air.
But Kush is mortified when Martin suggests that maybe he could be the one to take Bex out running.
While Bex is thrilled at the idea of spending time getting hot and sweaty with Kush, he’s not sure it is a good idea, but goes along with things to keep Martin happy.
