n one scene, Patrick Trueman was meant to be doing the housework with Denzel Danes but the pair instead put their feet up and watched television.

Of course, Patrick, who is played by Rudolph Walker, had tuned into the BBC.

Carol appeared on his screen which left the EastEnders icon gushing.

He told Denzel: "That Carol Kirkwood! Aye, aye, aye.

&quot;We could make some sweet, sweet music together, you know."
