Eastenders fans are convinced Mel (Tamzin Outhwaite) and Jack (Scott Maslen) still have feelings for each other after their tender moment this week.

Viewers watched on as Jack invited his ex Mel over for a cup of tea after seeing her looking stressed out. Unbeknown to him, she's hiding her son Hunter who recently escaped from prison where he's serving time for murdering her other ex, Ray.

As the pair shared a moment together - talk soon turned to their own history.

"Jack, do you ever think about how different things could have been?" she said. "The what ifs, if onlys. If only I had sent Ray away, we would prob be married now. A family...kids...we'd live somewhere so peaceful by the sea. Hunter loves the sea."
