EastEnders fans are concerned about the welfare of struggling Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton), who is suffering a crisis of confidence knowing that her partner Adam Bateman (Stephen Rahmen-Hughes) has cheated on her with Habiba Ahmed (Rukku Nahar).

Honey has maintained a facade that everything is okay but has known for some time that sleazy Adam has been unfaithful. Viewers cheered for Honey when she eventually confronted Habiba last night but as the pressure mounted on her, some worrying signs came to light which made viewers fear that Honey could be struggling with an eating disorder.

As well as having a crisis of self confidence and image issues, thinking that she isn’t good enough due to Adam’s behaviour, she left her meal half way through and was seen anxiously brushing her teeth while trying to bottle up her true feelings during a family dinner.

It remains to be seen exactly where the storyline will go but a recent trailer showed Mariam telling Billy that he is the right man for Honey, suggesting that Adam’s infidelity might soon become public knowledge.

It has been confirmed that Stephen is leaving the show as the cheating dentist in coming scenes so it is inevitable that Honey’s relationship will fall apart. But will this serve to impact her self esteem more and make her symptoms worse?

EastEnders are not currently commenting on the storyline speculation but fans have taken to social media to share their fears for Honey.

Emma is currently winning huge praise for her performances as Honey in the soap, particularly with her scenes opposite Rukku where Habiba tries to convince Honey that they both deserve better than Adam.

And the actress is also extremely busy as she is participating – with great success – in the current series of Strictly Come Dancing.
