Bobby Beale strikes again.

If you’re an EastEnders fan and were watching last night’s show, you’ll know that Bobby attacked his mother Jane with a hockey stick.

As viewers will remember, Bobby killed his sister Lucy last year and his parents, Jane and Ian, covered up for him.

To get back to last night’s show, Bobby lashed out at Jane after she stopped him from leaving the home and this resulted in some very violent scenes.

People have complained about the soap’s decision to show these scenes before the 9pm watershed.
