Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) made a major false confession in Tuesday's (20th October 2026) EastEnders, and all to protect dangerous Craig Ingram (Matthew James-Bailey), who has been grooming her.
He ordered Amy to encourage more pictures, and then sent himself the images so he could blackmail Denzel.
Denzel sold an expensive gold signet ring to raise the funds that had been demanded, and Denzel managed to relax and enjoy some belated 18th birthday celebrations with a supportive Amy and his family.
With his parents recoiling in horror, Denzel was forced to reveal that he sold their gift in order to pay off his tormentor.
Jack vowed to uncover the blackmailer, while Amy's distress meant nothing to Craig, who continued to manipulate her over the situation.

Falling further under Craig's vile spell, Amy begged him to stay with her, before she headed to visit her stepmum Denise Fox (Diane Parish) in hospital, where she is undergoing treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia.
This led Amy to intercept Jack at the police station, lying that she was behind Denzel's ordeal.
Amy claimed that as Denzel once mocked her scars, she wanted to hurt him back, but Denzel was disgusted.
With Amy too deep into her lie, she was forced to tell Jack the £1,000 blackmail money was gone, and an oblivious Jack replied that he didn't recognise her any more and that her late mum Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) would be turning in her grave.
The money was from her maternal grandfather, the evil Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb).
As Jack spoke with Denise, she urged him not to give up on Amy – and his world will be shattered when he realises that his former colleague Craig has been abusing his daughter.
Elsewhere in Albert Square, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) was delighted to find evidence of a secret property on the laptop she shares with her ex, Max Branning (Jake Wood).
EastEnders is working with Barnardo's and End Violence Against Women on Amy's hard-hitting storyline. Anyone affected can also reach out to NSPCC.
