EastEnders fans have praised Patrick Trueman for standing up to Phil Mitchell after Kim Fox discovered the truth behind her husband’s death.
Denise and her sister Kim came to blows during Tuesday night’s instalment of the BBC One drama after her bubbly sibling discovered her hubby Vincent Hubbard had been murdered three years ago.
But what really hurt her was that Denise had collaborated with Phil to stop her form discovering the truth behind his death.
And when the truth came out it’s fair to say Kim was ready to fly off the handle as she began to scream out the truth through the town square that put Phil at risk of being exposed.

After watching Kim make a spectacle of herself, Phil marched over the to Fox household to make sure Denise keeps her sister’s mouth shut.
But Denise rightly pointed out that her sister wouldn’t be heartbroken if Phil hadn’t have told her about Vincent’s murder during Monday’s episode.
She argued: “If anything comes out Phil, it’s down to you no one else.”

Phil then went on to blackmail her into keeping her quiet, as he explained: “We had a deal, yeah? I’d help you get the salon back and in return you make this all go away.
“Well, I kept my side of the deal but you didn’t keep yours so now I want my money back,” he added.
Overwhelmed with his threats, Denise begged: “Well, I don’t have that kind of cash, you know I ain’t that’s why I’d come to you in the first place.”

In order to solve their shared problem, Phil said: “Well, you keep that gobby cow’s mouth shut otherwise I want all my money back, every penny of it. Do you understand me?”
As things started to get heated, Patrick stood up to Phil and saw him out of the house, shouting: “Hey! You don’t talk like that in my house. Do you hear me?”
After which, Phil quietly hung his head in shame and swiftly left the house with not a single word said.

And it’s fair to say fans couldn’t help but share their praise for Patrick’s support as they took to Twitter to celebrate his bravery online.
One viewer penned: “You don’t mess with Patrick, especially NOT when it comes to his girls or his actual kids (Denise & Kim aren’t biologically at least)”.
Another agreed: “Phil knows not to mouth off at Patrick,” while a third chimed in with: “Go on Patrick, you tell him!”
