Phil Mitchell got offered a very odd beauty treatment on EastEnders

And all before the watershed.

EastEnders viewers are pretty hardy, having witnessed some pretty dark and gruesome stuff over the years but no-one was prepared for this. On last night's episode we saw Sharon encouraging Phil to relax. Suggesting he pamper himself, she handed him a leaflet for a local spa. "Spas are for blokes too, you know," she told him. "You can get 20 percent off a back, sack and crack wax today! "I'm being serious! You need to open yourself up to all possibilities." Poor old Phil was slightly mortified and needless to say, so were we.

Is there some kind of helpline available for those affected by the scene?
