EastEnders' Roxy Mitchell is left distraught next week as she has her little daughter Amy taken away from her.

Roxy's parenting skills are called into question in the coming days after Amy has a shocking accident while left alone.

The drama begins as Roxy (Rita Simons) waits for Jack to arrive for babysitting duties so that she can go on a night out. When Ben offers to take care of Amy until Jack turns up, Roxy is thrilled and heads out to paint the town red.

Ben (Joshua Pascoe) invites Jay (Jamie Borthwick) over to help with the babysitting, but the teens soon become distracted and head down to Jack's flat to mess around with his things while he's not there - leaving Amy alone.

When the lads return to Roxy's, they're left in a panic as they discover that Amy has tried to run a bath for her doll and is face down in the tub as it fills up.

Fortunately, Yusef (Ace Bhatti) soon arrives on the scene and manages to get the youngster breathing again and she's rushed to hospital immediately afterwards.

Jack and Carol (Lindsey Coulson) are by Amy's side throughout the ordeal, but Roxy doesn't arrive at the hospital until the next morning as she's been out all night.

With tempers running high, the blame game begins as Jack (Scott Maslen) blasts Roxy for leaving Amy with Ben.

Nobody can doubt Roxy's genuine concern for her daughter as she's clearly devastated over what's happened, but things soon get worse as a social worker says that her little girl has a fracture unrelated to the previous night's incident. Roxy recalls that Amy recently fell over and seemed fine afterwards, but she's questioned over why this wasn't checked out.

When Roxy is forced to admit that she's also in a dispute with her landlord Janine, who's trying to evict her, it's clear that she's struggling to impress the social worker despite her best efforts.

During his own interview, Jack confesses to social services that he's been a bad father but is keen to change his ways from now on. He then makes the shock decision to tell all over what the Mitchell family are really like.

Soon afterwards, Roxy is left stunned as the social worker advises her to give Jack voluntary residency on a temporary basis, otherwise she'll be taken to court.

As Roxy struggles to take in what is happening, the doctors report that Amy has woken up, and Jack refuses to let the feisty blonde see her child. Will Roxy be able to prove her parenting abilities and get Amy back?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Friday, November 4 at 8pm on BBC One.
