On Friday fans saw Kush’s poker game take a dark turn after Ruby (Louisa Lytton) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) lured him into the club with the temptation of huge winnings from the game.
But following the game, he breaks down in tears as the full impact of the game sinks in, and was clearly conflicted about whether to come clean to Stacey.
