Priya and Avani have been barely getting by financially, and in tonight's episode, they were seen being evicted from their flat for not paying the rent.

Arriving back in Albert Square with as much as they could carry, Priya hatched a plan which involved Avani sweet talking the family into allowing them to stay.

But things didn't go to plan as Ravi said his daughter could stay but his ex could not.

But when Nish overheard Priya desperately trying to find somewhere to stay in the cafe, he took a different approach to his family.

The pair had a hot drink in the cafe, before Nish suggested they go for something stronger at the Queen Vic.

Once at the pub, Priya was confronted by Stacey and Jean Slater, who had spotted that she was wearing her denim jacket with a red paint mark on the back after she previously stole it from their garage while hiding her own belongings.

Sassy Priya replied: "As for the jacket, now I know I've got the same taste as an 80-year-old, you can have it."

As she took it off, revealing her vest top underneath, Nish stole a glance at her physique while she spoke to Stacey.

It was the latest in a number of little glances and comments the pair have shared since Priya arrived, and later back at home, Nish declared both mother and daughter would be staying with them from now on.

When wife Suki and Ravi both tried to protest, Nish said firmly: "This is your home now, and anyone who has a problem with it, you know where the door is."

EastEnders fans were quick to comment on the dynamic between Nish and Priya, and where they think things are going to go.

Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one wrote: "I have a feeling nish and priya will get it on and that’s how suki will finally get with Eve freely!"

Another added: "Did….did nish just flirt with priya? Please don’t tell those two are going to have an affair or something."

A third tweeted: "Ravi’s baby mum is gonna s**g Nish isn’t she?"

EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
