Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) decided to put herself first on EastEnders when she decided not to go through with marrying Callum Highway (Tony Clay) after finding out hed had a fling with Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) and was struggling with his sexuality.

After leaving him at the altar, they had a heart to heart at home where Whitney told Callum that they wouldnt be happy if they still decided to get married.

Callum tried his best to remind Whitney of how much he loved her, and while Whitney said she would always care for him too, it would be better if they parted ways.

But there is no bad blood between them, as star Shona says Whitney will never stop loving her former husband-to-be.

She said: Its a tricky one, she still loves him no matter what, I dont think shes bitter but its awkward isnt it.

Shed still do anything for him, but ultimately shell love him forever I think.

And Ben shouldnt think hes in the clear yet just because he and Whitney have already had their showdown.

Shona added: She 100% still blames Ben, shes still really angry at him for ruining everything. Shes completely embarrassed and feels like her entire world has come crashing down.

The dramatic wedding scenes saw the return of Patsy Palmer as Whitneys stepmum Bianca Jackson.

It has been a while since she and Shona were on screen together, and when they were reunited it felt just like old times.
