EastEnders delivered a jaw-dropping wedding twist as Vicki Fowler finally confessed to cheating on Ross — with his best man Zack Hudson — right at the altar.
What should have been the happiest day of Vicki and Ross’s lives quickly turned into emotional chaos, as guilt, suspicion and betrayal came crashing down in front of stunned guests.
Ross had already sensed that something was wrong, but he was left devastated when he realised the man Vicki had slept with was standing beside him as his best man.
Viewers have watched Vicki struggle with regret after her affair with Zack, while Zack’s feelings for her only appeared to grow stronger. After failing to tempt her away from Ross, he spent weeks trying to plant doubts in Ross’s mind about the wedding.
But as the ceremony began, Ross could no longer ignore the tension between Vicki and Zack. Looking between his fiancée and his best man, he finally asked the question that shattered the day.
Taking a deep breath, Ross said: “Vicki… Was it him? Is he the bloke you slept with?”
A tearful Vicki could no longer hide the truth and reluctantly nodded, confirming his worst fear.
The emotional confession left both Ross and Vicki in tears, before the wedding descended into chaos and violence, with punches thrown as the betrayal exploded in public.
The couple’s relationship had already been through turmoil, including the horrific moment Ross’s son Joel brutally attacked Vicki. But the aftermath pushed Vicki into another man’s arms — and now her secret has destroyed what was meant to be their fresh start.
