The chequered love life of EastEnders’ Roxy Mitchell is set to take another twist later this month.

Roxy (Rita Simons) and Andy Flynn (Jack Derges) are pictured having a cosy drink together in preview photos released by the BBC.

Troubled Albert Square resident Roxy has lurched from one disaster to another so the omens are not good when she gets closer to the hunky builder.

In scenes due to be broadcast on July 29, the pair get on well and may take their flirtation to the next level, if Roxy is ready.

The Mitchells are still grieving for family matriarch Peggy (who was played by Dame Barbara Windsor). Roxy is also trying to get her life back on track after becoming a drug mule and trafficking drugs into the country.

But mystery surrounds Andy, especially since he was revealed as the stalker of Roxy’s sister Ronnie (Samantha Womack).

Andy is also the adoptive brother of Ronnie’s daughter Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace). Shortly after Ronnie learned that Danielle was her long lost child, her daughter was knocked down and killed in 2009.

Builder Andy’s closer ties to the Mitchells already has viewers speculating about his motives on social media.
