PHIL Mitchell lashed out at loved ones after being saved following a suicide attempt in heartbreaking EastEnders scenes.
BBC One viewers have tuned into the soap to see the legendary hardman spiral in a path of despair.
Last year on EastEnders, his estranged cousin Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) made a grand entrance.
He’s now in a relationship with Phil’s ex-wife Sharon (Letitia Dean), while Ben’s sitting in a US prison for fraud and embezzlement.
Recent scenes have shown Phil’s (Steve McFadden) depression spiralled completely out of control as he became a recluse.
He attempted to take his own life during Monday’s episode, however Harry (Elijah Holloway) caught him just in time as he opened up The Arches.
Harry called an ambulance that brought Phil into hospital and he was resuscitated, much to his own displeasure.
Phil later made a full recovery and was allowed out of hospital, but his nearest and dearest had concerns.
A worried Sharon rushed over to number 55, but she was sceptical about his story that his collapse was due to high blood pressure.
She said: “All I’m saying is, it doesn’t add up. And you haven’t been yourself for gd knows how long!”
He sent her away because he insisted on resting, but Nigel (Paul Bradley) continued to quiz Phil on his medical matters as he also had doubts.
Nigel remarked that he hadn’t seen any prescription details, doctors notes or scheduled appointments.
Feeling frustrated and wanting to be left completely alone, he then let his old ‘mate’ have it in a blistering and screaming rant.
“Shut up!”, he exclaimed. “Just shut up! Squeaky little mutt in my ear like a scared little mouse, what do you have to be scared of eh? Nothing!
“I looked after ya, Grant looked after ya, I don’t need looking after. You understand me?
“He was right about you. You’re a parasite. The only reason you got the hump, is because that ten grand aint in your pocket.

“Why else would you be there? Answer me that! No, exactly. You ain’t here to help me, you ain’t here to hold my hand, you’re here to pick my pocket.”
Phil then told his old “mate” to “do one,” as he then kicked him out of the house.
He finished off by saying: “I’ll tell you what, MATE. You want to help me? Do me a favour and do one! Get out the door and don’t bother coming back.”
Later, he runs into Sharon in the cafe, and she invited Nigel to stay with her for the night after Phil’s furious outburst.
They both recognised that Phil needs help, but Nigel knew it would take a long time, so Nigel announced that he was leaving Walford.
But what has he got in mind for his friend?
