Kat made a decision over Sharon’s secret – but she had one condition (Picture: BBC)
Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) recently made a decision on what to do about Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) huge secret in EastEnders.
Recent scenes saw Sharon confess to best friend Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) that Albie was actually Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) son, not Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters).
Sharon made the shocking discovery about Albie’s paternity after a hospital visit, where she was informed that he had a rare genetic condition that had to have been passed down through both parents.
Because Keanu didn’t carry the gene, this meant that Albie was not his son, and with Phil being the only other person Sharon had slept with around the time Albie was conceived, he had to be his.
It probably wasn’t the best conversation to have in a public toilet, as Sharon soon found out.

She was left horrified when Kat Slater emerged from one of the cubicles, and made it clear that she wasn’t prepared to keep this a secret from her husband.
Desperate to stop Phil finding out, Sharon went from pleading with Kat to keep quiet to outright promising to ruin her life if she spilled.

Sharon was quick to catch her, and warned her that her whole life would blow up if she said anything to Phil.
