Viewers of EastEnders were left disgusted with Adam Bateman as he manipulated his foster mum Mariam into feeling sorry for him.

Last week, Iqra and Habiba told their grandfather Arshad that Adam had an affair with Habiba behind his girlfriend, Honey’s back.

Disgusted with his behaviour, Arshad told his wife Mariam about what their former foster son had done and in last night’s episode (October 28 2019), she confronted him.

He explained: “I don’t know… because she wanted me.”

But when Mariam tells him that wasn’t an excuse, he told her: “It’s all I have. Growing up unwanted.”
