EastEnders spoilers: Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway’s awful first date revealed as doubts start to creep in

IT'S the day Ballum fans have been waiting for in EastEnders as Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway go on their first official date.

But don’t get too excited as it turns out to be something of a nightmare as Ben – Max Bowden - starts to have doubts about the potential relationship.

2

The EastEnders favourite is made to question a future with Callum after both his half-brother, Ian Beale, and best mate, Jay Brown, comment on his not-exactly-successful history with men.

And Callum – Tony Clay - should probably sleep with one eye open if he gets involved with the Mitchell bad boy considering two of Ben’s former lovers are now dead.

Ben’s doubts are made even worse when Callum’s overprotective big brother, Stuart, arrives at The Arches and pleads with Ben not to hurt Callum.

However, despite the doubts which are creeping in, Ben meets Callum for their date later.

But Callum is confused and disappointed when Jay and Lola arrive too.

And things go from disappointing to down-right terrible for Callum when Ben makes no effort at all during the date.

A crest-fallen Callum gets set to leave and go home when Ben does something that leaves him – and Jay and Lola – totally floored.

But what does he do?

Tomorrow’s episode will see Stuart secretly pleased that his brother’s date didn’t go well. But Callum is less than impressed when he discovers that Stuart meddled in his love life.

Callum tries to explain things to Ben but is gutted when he doesn’t get the response he was hoping for.

Lola steps in and offers a conflicted Callum some advice which leads him to seek out Ben at The Vic.
