EASTENDER's fans were left in shock last night as Ben Mitchell continued his revenge attacks leaving his nephew beaten on the floor.
The mechanic – who is played by actor Max Bowden in the BBC soap – has been carrying out revenge attacks on homophobes for months now.
Ben chased a suspected homophobe into an alley, and brutally attacked the man.
But when he gave him another kicking and turned his body over Ben was horrified to see that he hadn’t attacked the homophobe.
Instead he had just attacked his nephew Peter Beale who was also wearing a red hoody.
Fans were left fuming at Ben with many taking to Twitter to express their anger.
One said: "Ben Mitchell is so unlikable."
Whilst another said: "Ben Mitchell is an absolute mess"
