EastEnders charmer Lee Carter - who is set to admit that he did 'something stupid' on the night Lucy Beale died - is set to try and reunite with Whitney Dean in upcoming episodes.

Fans of the show will remember that Lee (Danny-Boy Hatchard) previously pursued Whitney during his first visit to Albert Square earlier this year, before breaking her heart and sleeping with Lucy Beale instead.

But, being as Lucy's dead, Lee is set to try his luck with Whitney (Shona McGarty) all over again.

And, while she might reject him the first time around, the actress has admitted that there is a new "intense" romance in her future.

She told Digital Spy: "It's someone you've seen her with briefly before. It's going to be very passionate and it's going to be different to any other relationship that she's ever had.

It's no coincidence that both Lee and Whitney are prime suspects in Lucy Beale's murder.

Whitney, who fell out with Lucy over Lee before she died, was recently seen rifling through Lucy's Facebook messages, and revealed to Tamwar that Lucy had sent spiteful text messages, disguised as 'advice' about Whitney's weight and hair.

Then there was the venomous condolences card she left at Lucy's funeral, which simply said: "Rot in Hell"

Meanwhile Lee is set to reveal he knows more about Good Friday than he originally let on, drunkenly mumbling that he did 'something stupid' the night his fling was murdered.
