Denise Fox attacked by Nish Panesar’s thugs as she spirals out of control in EastEnders
DENISE Fox is attacked by Nish Panesar’s thugs as she spirals out of control in EastEnders.
The pair have history together on the BBC soap, after Denise smashed a bottle over Nish's head during the Christmas Day episode last year.
Nish lay dying before Suki saved his life, but the situation escalated when The Six were confronted by Keanu Taylor, who Linda then killed in a bid to save Sharon.
The women tried to cover up their various crimes, but as it's soapland, the truth was eventually revealed.
Nish became aware that Denise was the one who attacked him, and her actions will come back to haunt her in upcoming scenes.
Denise's mental health spiralled earlier this year after the Christmas Day ordeal, and while she's been on the mend in recent months, Nish and the threat of repercussions is never far away.

Recent episodes saw the soap villain escape from prison and seek revenge on Suki and Eve.
The news of his jail break soon reached Walford, and Denise is left on edge as well as those in the Panesar household.
In upcoming scenes, Nish's granddaughter Avani manages to convince Denise to let her have a casual job in the salon.
Later, Jack lets Denise know there's been a suspected sighting of Nish by an anonymous caller.
A while later, Avani and Denise are in the salon when two masked men break in and say Nish sent them, leaving a fragile Denise terrified.
Following their ordeal, Ravi consoles his daughter before going to speak to Denise.
But when he arrives, he finds her in the middle of a panic attack.
After calming Denise, Ravi quizzes her on why she's so frightened of Nish coming back but will she admit the truth?
EastEnders stars who QUIT
MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?

It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines.
