TROUBLED teen Amy Mitchell knows more than she lets on about Denise Fox.
But the pressure gets overwhelming for her next week in EastEnders as she turns to secret boozing to cope.
The teen girl portrayed by Ellie Dadd previously struggled with her mental health and was at the centre of a harrowing self-harm storyline.
While she received help during a rough patch, Amy could be relapsing after finding out a huge secret about her stepmother Denise Fox (Diane Parish).
Coming up on BBC One, Amy pulls a sickie, finding it hard to cope with the recent revelations.
Amy literally bottles up how she feels as she begins to secretly drink while Denise stays home from work to look after her.

Denise has been displaying behaviours of a very sneaky nature in recent scenes of the London-based drama.
She was almost caught having an affair with Walford gangster Ravi Gulati and she brutally rejected him once and for all.
However, this gave Ravi enough leverage to toy around with Denise when he found out that her husband Jack Branning was investigating him.
When Denise refused to give him the information he wanted, Ravi turned his sights to her daughter, Chelsea, and used her as a pawn to get closer to both Denise and Jack's investigation.
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
