EastEnders fans buzzing with excitement as Phil finally discovers Sharon’s cheating

EASTENDERS fans are thrumming with excitement after Phil Mitchell FINALLY realised Sharon had cheated on him and her baby wasn’t his.

The Walford hardman – who is played by actor Steve McFadden in the BBC soap – had finally believed ex Lisa after she told him she had made it all up about Sharon cheating on him.

And tonight, full of the joys of being a new grandfather to baby Peggy, Phil relaxed and even offered an olive branch to Lisa for them to start over as one big happy extended family.

Unfortunately his joy was short-lived as he asked Dennis about his parent’s evening earlier in the week – to which the schoolboy told him there hadn’t been one.

Sharon had used the excuse that she was there to cover her visit to Lisa to convince her to tell Phil she was wrong.

And so when Phil went to his car to check where Sharon had been, he realised he had been lied to.

Walking back into the Vic, he casually questioned Sharon on the parents’ evening and when she lied to him it finally dawned on him that Lisa had told the truth.

But instead of losing his temper, Phil remained calm and instead confided in his son Ben.

He returned to the car and told Ben: “Sharon’s been lying to me.

“She’s been lying to me about where she goes, she’s been lying to me about what she does.

“You know what that means, don’t you? It means that baby ain’t mine.”

Fans went wild as Phil finally put two and two together and they are overloaded with excitement ahead of the big reveal on Christmas Day.

One wrote: “Finally! We’re at the point where there’s no convincing Phil otherwise. #EastEnders”

A second said: “Yes Phil! Xmas episode gonna be #EastEnders”

Another added: “Phil about to go on the war path just in time for Christmas.#Eastenders”
