Ian Beale caught checking himself out naked in EastEnders
The businessman has become increasingly concerned about his weight over the past few episodes and tonight he decided to examine himself.
Ian (played by Adam Woodyatt) could be seen undressing in front of a full-length mirror in his bedroom and pulled a number of disproving faces, clearly unhappy by what he saw.
But, he didn't have long to look at his body as he was interrupted by the early arrival of his wife Jane (Laurie Brett), who had been out with Stacy Branning (Lacey Turner).
As Jane shouted his name, he begged her not to enter the room. Unfortunately, it was too late and they both walked in on Ian as he stood naked.

He quickly rushed to cover himself with a velvet green robe as the pair looked away in shock.
It wasn't just Stacy and Jane who were surprised by what they witnessed as those at home were sent into a frenzy over his naked antics.
One fan of the BBC soap tweeted: "Jesus, Ian Beale naked isn't a nice way to start off the weekend #eastenders."
While another added: "Ian Beale looking at his naked self in a full length mirror with disgust. I know how he feels...#eastenders."
"Why is Ian checking himself out in the mirror whilst naked #eastenders," a third asked.
Someone else begged: "Oh Ian please send nudes. #EastEnders." While a fifth noted: "HE'S NAKED LMAO #eastenders (sic)."

Ian was later consoled by his wife over his weight gain as the pair sat down for a heart-to-heart and he admitted he was worried about his changing figure.
His health concerns come after viewers became convinced that he will be diagnosed with cancer after odd scenes earlier this month.
He has been seen falling asleep in the Queen Vic pub, eating more than usual and going to the toilet "every five minutes".
However, fans will have to continue to tune into the soap to see the outcome of his storyline.
EastEnders continues on Monday on BBC One at 8pm.
