EastEnders pub boss Alfie Moon will face temptation as Roxy Mitchell reveals that she has feelings for him in a forthcoming storyline.

The pair's friendship will grow stronger in the coming weeks as Roxy (Rita Simons) continues to work at the Queen Vic while Alfie's wife Kat is away.

However, the situation gets complicated as a lonely Roxy realises that she may be falling for Alfie (Shane Richie) and makes her feelings clear.

An EastEnders insider told Digital Spy today: "Alfie adores Kat and when Roxy comes onto him, he is shocked as he thought they were just good mates.

"Over the next few weeks, viewers will become aware that Roxy has strong feelings for Alfie, but fans will have to wait and see whether he's willing to do anything about it and risk what he has with Kat."

Kat is currently spending time away from Walford as she is looking after her dad Charlie after he suffered a stroke. In real life, Jessie Wallace - who plays Kat - recently took some time off from the soap.
