EastEnders has confirmed the identity of Kat Slater’s new business partner – and it isn’t exactly a match made in heaven.

This week, Harvey wanted to start a new limo business and set about trying to poach some of Kat’s drivers. She was naturally furious, still angry on Jean’s behalf following his affair with Kathy.

Harvey later asked Kat to go into business together, but she refused – though she realised that it could be a good opportunity for her and Alfie instead.

The couple brainstormed business plans in today’s episode, with Kat eager to set up a fake wedding photoshoot to promote their new venture.

She organised a meeting with Cheeky, the owner of the limo, and encouraged him to sell the vehicle to her. Kat was shocked at his price, but to secure the deal she assured him that she would get him the money in cash by the end of the day.

To do this, Kat consulted ex-husband Phil and asked for an advance on her settlement, now their divorce is official.

Meanwhile, Harvey met with Cheeky, who told him he’d had another offer for the limo. While he accepted defeat, Cheeky suggested that he pays half the cash and joins forces with the other investor.

As Kat and Alfie began to toast to their new venture, Kat received a call from Cheeky, who told her about the silent partner.

Kat wasn’t happy about this new development, but agreed to sign on the dotted line anyway, keen to give her family some financial security.

However, she and Alfie got a huge shock when Cheeky revealed the mystery partner – Harvey.

Kat and Harvey both reeled at the thought of having to work together, but the deal was done and the wedding photoshoot Alfie arranged is non-refundable.

How will Kat manage to explain this unexpected new business partnership with Harvey to Jean?
