EASTENDERS - Shock affair alert!

Most EastEnders fans I speak to want to see Phil Mitchell and Shirley Carter back together.

Well, we all may soon be getting our wish, as the exes embark on a secret affair...

Shirley recently confessed her love for Phil, but the Mitchell hard man will soon give in to temptation, which ends up in a full blown affair behind his fiancee Sharon Rickman's back, according to Digital Spy.

Phil and Shirl' have always been a match made, and are even keeping quiet about each others secrets. Phil knows that Shirley's 'brother' Mick is actually her son, while Shirley is keeping mum about the fact that Phil set up the attack on The Albert, which saw Sharon brutally attacked.

Phil and Shirley are set to embark on an affair

The pair don't realise, though, that Sharon actually knows the truth about her attack and is putting a plan of revenge into action against Phil.

I hope that Shirl' finds out about Sharon's plan, which includes help from Phil's old con-solicitor Marcus Christie, and gets one over on her. I also hope that this will see the start of Phil and Shirley reuniting...which will probably then be ruined by the return of Phil's son, Ben, who has been released from prison for accidentally killing Shirl's best pal, Heather Trott.

If you can't already tell, I'm a massive 'Phil hearts Shirley' fan!

Are you?
