EastEnders fans get ‘second hand embarrassment ‘as Whitney Dean makes huge public gesture
"Bianca is giving the same look I was giving my TV"
EastEnders fans were left cringing during Thursday’s episode of the BBC One soap after Whitney Dean proposed to cheating boyfriend Zack Hudson. The expectant mum popped the question in front of everybody in The Queen Vic after being inspired by Honey Mitchells’ recent proposal to Billy Mitchell.
But as fans of the BBC One show will know, Zack recently cheated on Whit with her best pal Lauren Branning. Whit is still oblivious to his mega betrayal, however, Bianca Jackson has threatened to tell her step-daughter if Zack doesn’t find missing Britney.
During tonight’s trip to Walford, Whitney was elated after social services confirmed she could legally foster Britney after dedicating herself to looking after the troubled schoolgirl. As Whit, Zack, Bianca and Britney went to The Queen Vic to celebrate, they were shocked to see Years and Years’
Making a public declaration of love, Whit told Zack: “I always imagined love to be, you know like Disney kind of love? But I got my prince – it took me a couple of frogs but I got there in the end, it’s never too late is it?”
While Zack was puzzled as Bianca and Britney watched on, Whitney then got on one knee and proposed to the hunk. As the entire pub congratulated the happy couple, Lauren walked in and was left less than impressed before storming back out. Meanwhile, EastEnders fans were left embarrassed.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: “A heavily pregnant Whitney proposing to her scoundrel of a boyfriend??? The writers took it too far with this one #EastEnders.”
A second stated: “I did not expect to see Whitney proposing to Zack #EastEnders. A third chimed in with: “They can’t be serious having Whitney propose to Zack, there’s NO WAY #EastEnders.”
“I’m getting second-hand embarrassment with the Whitney speech and proposal. Bianca is giving the same look I was giving my tv”, exclaimed one fan. Another simply added: “Omg Whitney agh #eastenders.”
EastEnders airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One.
