EastEnders has revealed what happens after Iqra Ahmed introduces her girlfriend Ash to her family.

Gurlaine Kaur Garcha has been cast in the role of Ash, who will turn up in Walford when Iqra (Priya Davdra) decides it's time her grandparents knew the truth.

Viewers recently saw Iqra come out to her sister Habiba explaining that she was in a relationship with a woman.

Despite Habiba's support, Iqra has felt unable to apply the same honesty to Mariam and Arshad – nervous of their reaction.

However, Habiba will urge Iqra to be honest with them in next week's scenes, acutely aware of the damage that secrets can do.

As Habiba struggles in the wake of her break-up with Adam, she tells Iqra to come out to their grandparents and stop all the secrecy.

Taking Habiba's advice, Iqra later introduces Ash to Mariam and Arshad. Despite being relieved by their positive reaction, Mariam's attitude starts to concern Iqra later on.

Putting her worries about Mariam to one side, Iqra takes Ash to Whitney's hen party celebrations, where she soon catches the attention of Robbie Fowler.

As Robbie hopelessly flirts with Ash, Iqra steps in and kisses her in front of everyone.
