EastEnders airs shock showdown amid Kat Slater and Alfie Moon engagement in iPlayer release

Alfie was on top form as he joked with Kat, who was worried after being tricked into a limousine business partnership with Slater outcast Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman).

Amused when Kat hid out of sight from a returning Jean (Gillian Wright) and Mo Harris (Laila Morse), Alfie persuaded her to tell heartbroken Jean what had gone on between them and her ex.

But while Mo was more concerned that Jean had disrupted her passion with Fat Elvis, Jean told Kat that she was struggling to move on after giving Harvey the best years of her life.

In a daft moment, Alfie appeared outside the window, and Kat failed to come clean to Jean.

Meanwhile, Alfie confided in Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) that he wanted to propose to Kat, but feared it was a bad time.

Linda encouraged him to go for it, and with Alfie arranging a wedding photoshoot to promote the new business, he made an abrupt declaration to Kat that they were getting married!

Kat laughed in his face, but Alfie finally got his act together and made it clear how much she meant to him and, after she ordered him to get down on one dodgy knee, Kat agreed to marry Alfie for the third time.

The pair were laughing as they ended up in a heap on the floor, and at The Queen Vic, Kat was gleeful about getting Harvey and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) to fork out for half of the photoshoot, which would double as their unofficial wedding.

Jean was stunned to walk in and see Kat looking so friendly with Harvey and Kathy, forcing her and Alfie to explain the situation.

Kat insisted she hadn't known Harvey would be her business partner until she had signed a contract.

But as tempers flared and Jean vented her anger, Kat shamed her for fleeing Walford in the midst of Stacey's (Lacey Turner) breakdown.

As Jean slapped Kat and publicly disowned her, can the women make amends or has she really been ousted from the Slater clan?
