Tiffany Butcher-Baker and Callum Highway is the friendship we never knew we needed...

Tonight's EastEnders saw a low-key but brilliant scene play out between Tiffany and Callum, and fans are loving this heart-warming friendship between the pair.

There was plenty of drama in tonight's EastEnders for Callum.

Not only did he discover boyfriend Ben had been arrested for stealing a car... not really a good look for someone wanting to join the police, but he also discovered Ben was going to leave the Prince Albert with a mystery man.
