EastEnders fans 'gobsmacked' as soap airs 'chaotic Christmas Day episode' in May
EastEnders fans were left gobsmacked at the end of today's episode as they claimed the 'duff duff' at the end of the episode was as dramatic as those on a Christmas Day episode
It was a chaotic night in Albert Square tonight, as EastEnders fans were left gobsmacked as they witnessed two dramatic showdowns and a scene they thought would be left until Christmas Day.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) were up first as the former found out his daughter, Avani had slept with Ross' son Joel. Ravi's revelation came as he overheard Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopa l) disclose the information to Avani's mum Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy).
As soon as he heard the news, Ravi stormed out of the house running after Joel, who begged "Mr. Gulati" to leave him alone. Ross then pounced on Ravi as he warned him never to come near his son again.
Ravi, however is yet to find out that Joel secretly recorded his intimate encounter with Avani. But when he does, fans think it's going to be "the end" for Joel.
However, surprisingly that wasn't the most dramatic moment of the night. Cut to the Queen Vic and Kathy and Harvey's affair was exposed by Cindy. The cunning character played a video of the pair kissing for all to see on the screen in the Queen Vic, a scene that fans are comparing Max Branning and Stacey Slater's affair being exposed on Christmas Day 2007.
Learning that Cindy had the video during Tuesday's episode, Kathy gave in and agreed to sign over the Albert to Cindy, who promised she'd delete the video.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "OMG TONIGHT'S DUFF DUFF! It's like Christmas Day all over again," as another said: "Cindy did not play around I'm glad it got exposed finally instead of waiting till Christmas #EastEnders". Another agreed: "looool ok Cindy didn't f**k about there thank GOD i thought that video was gonna be floating around until Christmas #EastEnders."
Others couldn't believe how "chaotic" the episode was as they took to Reddit to discuss. "The chaos! The chaos!", exclaimed one. "As if Ross could take Ravi though," while another penned: "That episode was just chaos, what is going on?"
The dramatic scenes in the Vic come after Jean proposed to Harvey. The two were in the Vic celebrating their very short lived engagement before Cindy came to drop the bomb.
Following the revelations, fans have been left concerned for Jean as they worry how it's going to affect her mental health. Following yesterday's episode, one fan wrote: "Now we know Harvey's secret is at risk of coming to light thanks to Cindy - I just hope this doesn't lead towards Jean having another manic episode especially when tensions are so fragile between the Slaters right now."
Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to see how the drama unfolds...
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Love Island fans work out ‘real reason' couple have split again as on/off Islanders unfollow each other
LOVE Island fans claim to have worked out why one of the show's couples has split again. The Sun revealed today how Harriett, 25, and 28-year-old Ronnie have called time on their relationship while on holiday in Ibiza. 5 Love Island fans are suspicious about Ronnie and Harriett's split Credit: Rex 5 The Sun revealed today how the pair have broken up again Credit: Rex Although the pair have not formally confirmed their break-up, Harriett has complained to fans about the "bad day" she's having. Harriett and Ronnie have unfollowed each other on Instagram, with him deleting all trace of her on the photo sharing site too. But fans are suspicious about the on/off couple's latest split. Mulling it over on Reddit, many claim to have worked out why Harriett and Ronnie have broken up again. It has been suggested that Ronnie might be being lined up to make a shock entrance in this summer's Love Island for Casa Amor. The twist, which comes later in the series, always sparks drama as the couples are put to the ultimate test with a host of new bombshell arrivals. Writing on the social forum, one fan said: "They'll be back together in a month." But another replied: "Ronnie will be the big post Casa bombshell by then." Agreeing, someone else added: "No kidding. He'll cry about Harriett while hitting on other women." A fourth chimed in: "And then Harriett will come back in for him to win her back." Ronnie Vint breaks silence on rumours he's split from his Love Island girlfriend Harriett Blackmore Another viewer begged: "Please don't give the producers ideas!" Ronnie and Harriett originally split last summer - just weeks after leaving the villa. The pair then rekindled their connection on Love Island: All Stars in January. Last week, the couple were at the centre of break-up rumours after fans noticed Ronnie had deleted photos of Harriett from Instagram. A mystery post appeared on the site which claimed to show Ronnie confirming: "Yeah it's true. Will explain my side of things later." Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID But Ronnie quickly hit out and insisted he was the victim of a hoax by a malicious troll. He wrote online: "This is clearly a set up. Edited because we are sweet and I haven't commented a thing. Thank you." Following today's news that the couple have in fact broken up, Harriett has spoken out. Refusing to address the reports directly, she told her Instagram followers: 'I've never felt this exhausted in my entire life. 'Love you guys! Bad day, not a bad life.' 5 Ronnie and Harriett rekindled their romance on Love Island All Stars Credit: Getty 5 Ronnie has deleted all trace of Harriett on Instagram Credit: Instagram/@ronnievint

EastEnders fans distracted by outrageous detail in background of Albert Square scene - but can you spot it?
EastEnders viewers were distracted by an outrageous detail in the background of an Albert Square scene. An old episode of the BBC soap featured a particularly notable headline on a newspaper stand. According to a fan on Reddit, the headline for the fictional Walford Gazette seemed to be about chicken yoga. The viewer penned: 'I love finding these 'made up headlines'.' 'I couldn't help but notice the headline on Walford Gazette probably says 'Chicken Yoga Takes City By Storm',' they added, followed by three chicken emojis. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The fan went on, 'Seriously, Chickens do Yogas?' and ended with a laughing emoji. It's not the first time eagle-eyed viewers found themselves distracted by background details in the show. During an episode in April, Jean (Gillian Wright) entered her home and pushed a pram through the doorway. She left a voicemail for her granddaughter Lily and was trying to find out where she was. Jean was looking after Lily's daughter and her great-granddaughter, Charli. Though the pram appeared to be empty when she entered the house, the camera then panned to show Charli sat inside it. Some viewers noticed the blunder and took to social media to point it out. One posted on X: 'EastEnders are really getting lazy when it comes to checking their scenes before adding them into the episode cause tell me why Jean's pushing an empty f****** pushchair then suddenly a child's in it #EastEnders.' Someone commented: 'Omg I did not notice this lol!' Another said: 'I was laughing so much when I seen this big L from the camera man.' While a fourth wrote: 'I noticed this too.' Someone else said: 'Oh dear lol.' While another added: 'I was watching an old episode of Brookside and the same thing happened there too.' Elsewhere, fans all made the same joke after a glaring Sonia Fowler blunder during a live episode in February. The nurse (Natalie Cassidy) welcomed her baby girl into the world after she was trapped in the Queen Vic during the fire. Viewers were worried that the youngster wouldn't survive after staying quiet after being born. Some viewers noticed the blunder and took to social media to point it out Sonia, Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Lauren Branning (Jaqueline Jossa) were over the moon when she finally started crying amongst the drama. By the instalment many fans pointed out the same thing about Sonia's daughter - that she had some how managed to dramatically grow in size throughout the live ep. One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Sonia's baby has tripled in size within 5 mins… #EastEnders.'

He didn't share any further details of their trip out nor did he upload any snaps of Tasha - instead choosing to tag her in his post. Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID Tasha also re-shared the post to her own Instagram stories. His outing comes after it was revealed that the model and Celebrity Race Across The World star had moved in with his nan Jackiey Budden in her Bermondsey home. Jackiey, who has lived in the London area close to Tower Bridge all her life, has been spending an increasing amount of time with her grandson amid his feud with TV star father Jeff. It is understood that he has been living at her South London home despite the legal row launched by his father Jeff, 46, to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy, 20, was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 after a seven month battle with cancer and he has since been raised by his dad. Since then, Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant took legal action for his son's wellbeing. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row A source told the publication: "Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they've always had a strong bond. "Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. "They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years. "Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked." This comes after we spotted Freddy smoking a joint with his former reality TV star grandmother near Tower Bridge in full view of tourists. Our exclusive photos and video show them smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette as Jackiey was seen to be 'acting erratically' with her grandson. An onlooker remarked: "The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. The source added: "She appeared to be acting erratically." 5 It comes amid his ongoing feud with his father Jeff Credit: Homeserve
