Of course, there’s absolutely no way that there’d be swearing of any kind on pre-watershed BBC soap.
This said, some EastEnders viewers seemed to think that Bex Fowler used the word ‘c***’ on Thursday night’s episode.
With Kush Kazemi visiting Bex, played by Jasmine Armfield, to try and persuade her to confront school bullies for sharing naked pictures of her and her ex, Shakil, Kush’s brother, some viewers were under the impression that she said: “Why’s everyone calling him the c***? No, because he’s the big man isn’t he?”
Have a listen.

Again, there’s no way that this actually was that particular word, even if other people thought otherwise.

Just before anyone else starts to convince themselves that Bex did use the offensive word, we should point out that she is actually believed to have used the word “tramp”.
