EASTENDERS fans are convinced Ben Mitchell has caught coronavirus after he got a mystery fever before his ear operation on last night's episode.
BBC viewers watched as Ben's boyfriend Callum and dad Phil were left devastated when the doctor refused to proceed with his operation due to his temperature.
While Callum was concerned for his other half, his father Phil was upset for a whole other reason as the delay would stop Ben helping him with his dangerous business plan to buy The Vic.
Upset that he couldn't get the operation, Ben fumed at Kathy and explained he caught his temperature off daughter Lexi, who had to stay home from school sick.
