Whitney had previously rejected Kush’s hand in marriage, but on Tuesday night after a deep chat, the pair declared their undying love for one another.

Kush (Davood Ghadami) is set to go to court today after he got caught stealing cars with the Mitchell family.

After Whitney found out that Kush agreed to take the blame for them all because Phil offered him money, her trust in him disappeared.

The secrets made her not want to marry him and Kush couldn’t deal with the rejection so he ran off.

But while he was missing Whitney realised that they were meant to be together and put the lies behind her.

Tonight Kush shows just how much she means to him by giving Whitney a promise ring to say that they will be together when he gets out of prison.

As fans of the show continue to scratch their head over what’s in store for Kush and Whitney in the coming months, actress Shona has hinted a shocking twist.

The soap star previously told The Celeb Report Online and other media: “Who’s to say Whitney and Kush aren’t going to live happily ever after together away from Walford?

“This could very well be her fairytale ending.”

Will Kush keep to his word or will he decide that his relationship with Whitney is more important than his deal with Phil?
