Is there a chance that Zack Hudson (played by James Farrer) could be Barney Mitchell's (Lewis Bridgeman) biological dad on EastEnders? (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Zack previously confided in his late mate, Martin Fowler, about his past affair with Barney's mum, Nicola (Laura Doddington).

Who was still married to Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) at the time.

Martin joked that teenager Barney is now old enough to be Zack's dad!

But was Martin right?

On tonight's episode of the BBC soap, there's drama at Harry's Barn when Barney suddenly collapses in pain from the wound he sustained during the explosion at the Vic.

Zack joins worried parents Nicola and Teddy at the hospital.

But a conversation about bleeding Barney's blood group arouses Zack's suspicions...

Zack confronts Nicola and demands to know if he is really Barney's dad!

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!"
