Zack and Whit split

Her homecoming is explosive as she returns with Britney...

- SARAH WATERFALL

When Zack returned to Walford, leaving his pregnant partner Whitney at Bianca's, it was clear things had got pretty bad. But Whit's crusade to save Britney - the neglected young girl she met on the council estate in Milton Keynes - has taken priority over everything and everyone.

This week, Whit returns but excited Zack's plans crumble when he clocks Britney, who reveals she's been fostered by Whit. In a spin, Zack's grateful when Lauren informs him that she's decided to keep quiet about the pass he made at her.
