EASTENDERS is to feature a race hate storyline inspired by the Celebrity Big Brother row.

Albert Square tearaway Jay will shock viewers by calling Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) a “black cow”.

And bad boy Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) has a furious run in with Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) and refers to the Caribbean shopkeeper as “your lot”.

Show chief Diederick Santer told TV Biz: “The Celebrity Big Brother race row kicked off as I took charge of my first scripts.

“I thought it was fascinating because it showed there was a real need for a debate about race in Britain.

“BB didn’t do it particularly well so I thought it could be something EastEnders should do.

“Our stuff won’t be overly moralistic or preachy but it will tackle this serious issue head on.”

The scenes will air this summer.
