EastEnders: Stuart tells wife Rainie he has breast cancer

EastEnders fans were left in tears as Stuart Highway finally confessed his breast cancer diagnosis to wife Rainie.

Viewers tuning into the BBC One soap were heartbroken as they watched Stuart overcome with emotion as he told Rainie all about his secret cancer diagnosis after a blazing row.

Stuart hit Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) in the pub after accusing him of having an affair with Rainie, but she was left equally fuming after she heard his accusations and she rushed out the Queen Vic.

Rainie was followed out by Stuart and Sonia, who urged him to tell her the truth about his health battle.

In heartbreaking scenes, he finally opened up about the secret he was keeping: “I’m so sorry, darling. I think I thought, if I didn’t, maybe it’d stop it from happening. I just don’t want to leave you and I don’t want you to leave me.”

The pair were in tears as they embraced as Rainie struggled to take in the news.

Fans on the BBC One soap were equally devastated for the couple and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Actor Ricky Champ previously spoke of the importance of the storyline.

“I feel honoured to be trusted with such an important storyline. We will see Stuart really struggle with the fact he has cancer, and to learn that it’s breast cancer is really difficult for him to understand,” he said.

“I hope by shedding a light on male breast cancer, more men will be aware of it and seek out a doctor if they notice anything wrong.”
