As Kat learned the truth about Zoe and Dennis, another Walford figure was out to clear their conscience. At the police station, Nigel attempted to confess to the police – although Julie’s insistence on covering it up left him struggling for answers.

Elsewhere, Johnny put his foot in with it with Billy after buying Lexi an expensive gift.

Here’s everything else that happened tonight.

Julie lied to the police as Nigel confessed

Following Nigel’s confession, Jack accompanied him down the station, where Julie was waiting. Chastising her for lying to him, he marched inside to face the music – refusing Jack’s suggestion that he use Julie as his appropriate adult first.

In the interview room, Nigel struggled to recall details of the crash. But with no real memories of the what and the why, the police struggled to assess the validity of his claims.

He then dropped Julie in it, telling the officers to ask Julie about what had gone on. She continued to deny Nigel’s responsibility for the crash, telling the officers that Nigel had become confused and ‘filled in the gaps’ in a flight of guilt-ridden fancy.

At the pub, Jack was grabbing a drink when George arrived. It was down to Jack to explain what had happened, revealing that Nigel was behind the attack.

Released under caution, Nigel was furious to realise that Julie had lied again. Back on the Square, a furious George confronted Nigel, but soon softened when he realised how badly Nigel was feeling about the accident.

Nigel returned home, where he continued to shut Julie out (quite literally, locking her outside with the chickens). Inside, a confused Nigel called out for Phil, becoming increasingly confused and despondent.

After finally finagling her way inside, the pair shared a heart-to-heart, as Julie revealed how badly he’d betrayed her by running away for months on end. Realising how much the confession meant to Nigel, Julie finally relented, and they headed into the police station together, ready to make his confession.

What will become of Julie and Nigel?

Johnny spoiled Lexi with gifts

Johnny joined Callum and Lexi for lunch with Billy and Honey. Spotting an opportunity to win the still-chilly Lexi over, he’d bought her the expensive bracelet – plus pricey charms – she’d been looking at on her iPad.

This succeeded in putting Billy’s nose out of joint, as he and the girls had been planning on buying Lexi that exact gift for Christmas.

As Johnny headed off to play with his new best friend, Billy shared his concerns with Callum. As Billy asserted that Johnny was going about things the wrong way, Callum agreed to speak to Johnny.

Callum’s good intentions didn’t last long though, and he kept tight-lipped as Johnny offered to whisk Lexi away to an Alessi Rose gig.

Will Callum be able to put his foot down?
