EastEnders spoilers: Hunter Owen in danger as Phil Mitchell rages after sex video scandal
EASTENDERS’ Phil Mitchell is out for revenge after Hunter Owen deliberately sent footage of him taking Louise Mitchell’s virginity, and the foolish act could prove fatal for the troubled teenager.
Friday’s episode of EastEnders saw Phil (played by Steve McFadden) fly into a rage after CCTV footage of Hunter (Charlie Winter) sleeping with Louise (Tilly Keeper) was sent to his mobile phone.
Hunter had persuaded Phil to get security footage of the E20 streamed to his phone so he could monitor the club remotely.
As he flashed a cheeky grin to the camera before getting down to it with Louise, Hunter was deliberately taunting Phil.
The last thing viewers saw was the Walford hard man grabbing his baseball bat as he stormed out to find Hunter.
Spoiler pictures released ahead of next week’s episode sees the repercussions of Hunter’s actions hit him hard as Phil comes after him.
Phil looks absolutely furious as he grabs the teenage boy by the face.
He won’t be able to keep his cool and orders him to stay away from his daughter.
Meanwhile, Louise can be seen holding her hands to her face in horror while Sharon (Letitia Dean) looks equally concerned.
Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) steps in to protect her son, but will she be able to get through to Phil?
Poor Louise has no idea Hunter was using her to get to her dad, and was mortified when she spotted the camera in the club’s office.

"Oi, that's not recording is it?" Louise asked.
Hunter replied: "Nah it's just a dummy, your dad's tight and wouldn't splash out on the real thing.
"Look, next time, we'll find a bed."
There could be emotional turmoil in store for Louise too if she finds out she's been used.
Hunter had already hinted to Phil that he would be up to earlier on in Friday’s episode.

He paid a visit to Phil in the Arches, where he described what made his late father Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) stand out from the crowd when he was “up to no good”.
Hunter explained that fixing his tie, smiling, and winking became Steve’s signature way of showing that he had ulterior motives.
Perplexed by the conversation, Phil dismissed Hunter and continued with his day.
However, when Hunter performed the exact same ritual to the camera in the E20 club, Phil knew he had been tricked.
EastEnders continues tomorrow at 8pm on BBC One.
