Kim’s prize is a brand-new car, which obviously puts her in a celebratory mood. But when the pair return to the Square, Howie sours when he discovers what Denzel has been getting up to and shuts the party down.

Kim, though, remains overjoyed by her win and offers to take Denzel for a spin in her car. But tragedy strikes when Kim crashes.

Will he pull through and survive the ordeal?

Denise is desperate to defeat Ravi

In fact, he plans to do the complete opposite and reveals to Denise that he wants to take things to the next level with Chelsea. So a desperate Denise heads out and decides to make a mysterious call…

It’s a faux pas that results in Freddie opening up about the humiliation he endured at school at the hands of his old teacher Mr Hawthorne. A guilty Jean tries to convince Freddie to confront him and, after speaking with Bobby, Freddie decides to seek closure and visit his old school. Bobby, Jean and Harvey decide to tag along to provide moral support, but what reaction will Freddie get when he tries to stand up to Mr Hawthorne?

Nugget angers Ravi – who is then arrested

Nugget is asked to babysit Jordon while Chelsea and Ravi head out on a date. But once alone, Nugget takes Jordon to Denzel’s house party where he shirks his responsibilities in order to be with his friends.

When Ravi subsequently finds out about Nugget’s actions, he attempts to discipline him. But Nugget hits back and criticises his parenting – an outburst that results in Ravi lashing out. Following the showdown, a petrified Nugget runs to Suki and Nish and reveals all. A tense conversation then finds Nish ordering Ravi to stay away from his son.

The week then goes from bad to worse for Ravi who finds himself under arrest by Callum, who’s received an urgent work call. The soap isn’t yet revealing why Ravi finds himself being grilled by the police, but fans can expect him to remain tight-lipped as he’s interrogated by DC Webber. As a result, he’s temporarily released due to a lack of evidence and heads to No 41 to apologise to Nugget.
