A NEW EastEnders affair has begun with Jack Branning choosing a romp with Stacey Slater over a night at home supporting his struggling wife Denise.
The police detective – who is played by actor Scott Maslen in the BBC soap – had a one night stand with Stacey last year.
But in tonight’s episode they hopped into bed together again and began an affair.
With Denise struggling to cope with the prospect of Nish going to the police and exposing everything leading to Keanu’s death, she couldn’t face the court room for baby Charli’s guardianship hearing.
“I can’t,” she said as Jack asked her to go in.
‘I can’t pretend anymore,” she added as she rushed out leaving Jack alone.
But in court Jack got carried away with Denise gone and tried to hold Stacey’s hand.
She brushed him off but later back at home with the guardianship order Jack celebrated with the Slaters.
Despite Ricky and Amy going home, Jack stayed to help Stacey tidy the kitchen.
And as things with Stacey Slater and various Branning men do, they didn’t end up tidying the kitchen for long.
“I like being here,” he told Stacey.
The pair then began passionately kissing and ended up in bed together – another shock EastEnders affair cemented.
“Tell me the truth is this just another one off?” Stacey asked him.
“No,” said Jack. “No this is real. This is what I want.”
Meanwhile, across the Square Denise was found sobbing in bed alone by Amy who offered to stay with her until Jack got back.
