DENZEL Danes’ drugs secret is exposed as he makes a fatal mistake in EastEnders.
The teen - played by Jaden Ladega - has been taking steroids in recent weeks to boost his physique, but has also had to deal with the side effects too.
His loved ones are unaware of what he is up to, but his friend Nugget knows and has started to take them as well in the latest episodes.
However, in upcoming EastEnders spoilers, the teens are getting ready for the boxing tournament when Tommy teases Nugget, who flies off the handle at him.
Zack and Ravi pull them apart, as Denzel tells Nugget to calm down before people get suss about the steroids.
