In tonight's episode of the soap, Zeedan, played by Qasim Akhtar, hears Kate and Rana screaming from an alleyway.

He rushes to find a man assaulting the women and swiftly punches him to the ground, shouting: "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

As the man - who had previously harassed them in a nearby bar - lay on the floor still and bleeding, Kate, played by Faye Brookes, turned to Zeedan and said: "Thank god you were passing!

"Come on let's get out of here. Let's go!"

The trio ran off leaving the injured attacker lying there alone.

It comes as Zeedan and Rana's marriage appeared to be over for good earlier in the episode.

Rana, played by Bhavna Limbachia, told her disappointed husband that she is with Kate now and wants to get a divorce.

Elsewhere in today's show Gemma Winter, played by Dolly-Rose Campbell, left fans in stitches when she made a sex joke about Prince Harry.
