EastEnders spoilers: Ian Beale covers up health crisis as doctor gives him some difficult news
The Albert Square stalwart will get some uncomfortable news after his health MOT
IAN Beale is to suffer a health crisis in EastEnders.
The Walford businessman - who is played by actor Adam Woodyatt - is given his orders to get his health checked by Dot Branning and when he has his health MOT the nurse tells him to make an appointment with his GP.
Unfortunately Ian ignores the advice and insists to his family that he's totally fine.
However, it becomes apparent that Ian is becoming more concerned about his weight and so makes a pact with wife Jane to become healthier.
Earlier this month fans became seriously concerned for Ian Beale and were convinced the much-loved character has cancer.
Soap fans have a habit of spotting big storylines months in advance and now viewers are fearing Ian could be critically ill.
Fans first became suspicious during one episode when Ian shockingly fell asleep while having a pint in the Queen Vic.
Aunt Babe then told the whole pub it was because he was drunk but viewers at home were not convinced.
Many fans started to think it was something more sinister after he complained about needing to go to the toilet and then fell asleep in the pub.
Steven Beale also said he had been going to the loo 'every five minutes' during the night.
Taking to Twitter, many said they think he could have prostate cancer.
One wrote: "Ian peeing through the night, sounds like there's a prostate story coming! #EastEnders."
Another said: "Ian Beale at the loo 3 times during the night. Cue predictable prostate cancer storyline. #eastenders."
While some said it's cancer, others think it could be diabetes.
If Ian does become sick it will be another hard storyline for him as he now looks after wife Jane who was left paralysed after their son Bobby attacked her with a baseball bat.
Bobby was later locked up after confessing to killing his sister Lucy.
- EastEnders airs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights on BBC One
