EASTENDERS serial killer Gray Atkins should watch his back as Whitney Dean will soon discover proof he murdered wife Chantelle.
The market stall trader – who is played by actress Shona McGarty in the BBC soap – becomes determined to bring Gray down over Christmas after the shocking reveal.
In explosive scenes she will stage an intervention at Gray’s wedding to Chelsea and expose the truth.
Meanwhile, Gray and Denise wait for their respective partners but they’re nowhere in sight.
Chelsea is stunned but will she believe Whitney or go through with the wedding?
But discovering the truth hits Whitney hard, actress Shona McGarty has revealed.
She said: “Obviously it comes as a huge shock. She would never have thought he was capable of murder.
“Heartbreaking as Whitney and Chantelle were so close. You just can’t imagine it, like one of those horrible documentaries you see where your next door neighbour is a murderer, it’s crazy.
“Freaks her out knowing she was so close to Gray and potentially could’ve had a relationship with him. That is dangerous and scary, and a huge shock.”

“I guess Whitney is very protective of her, since she was considering an abortion.
“Whitney feels she owes it to Chantelle to get Chelsea away from Gray.”

“I feel Whitney is very selfless, she would risk her own life to save someone else,” Shona added.
“She’s brave and strong, and a joy to play because I’d just call the police.”
