IAN Beale is desperate to get into business with the Panesar family and Cindy has agreed to help.
However, the EastEnders icon played by Michelle Collins makes it clear she still has a villainous streak as she ruffles many feathers.
After finding out that his mother had been trying to sell his chippy, Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) returned to Albert Square with the firm intention of staying in business.
In doing so, Ian decided to turn to the Panesars but they were less than impressed by his business acumen until his wife Cindy Beale took control of their deal.
Coming up next week on BBC One, Cindy launches a new bid to get investment from the Panesars with a pie and mash shop business pitch.
