EastEnders’ Zaraah Abrahams fears for Chelsea Fox’s life as Gray Atkins relationship takes dark turn

EASTENDERS star Zaraah Abrahams has voiced her fears for Chelsea Fox’s life as the character’s relationship with Gray Atkins takes a dark turn.

Viewers of the BBC soap have been gripped watching the ups and downs of their relationship in recent weeks.



Zaraah Abrahams joined EastEnders as Chelsea Fox last year

Chelsea has agreed to marry serial killer Gray Atkins

Zaraah, 34, joined as yet another love interest for the serial killer and is now pregnant with his baby.

Not only that, after an emotional reunion, Chelsea has agreed to married her future baby daddy – if she makes it that far.

Zaraah, who only joined the cast last year, told Inside Soap: “I went straight to Di Parish [Diane], and said, ‘I haven’t paid my mortgage off yet!’ and she was like ‘Don’t worry too much – yet!’

“But I was excited because I knew it would mean some really gritty stuff to come, and I love working with Toby-Alexander Smith [Gray].”

She added: “He’s fantastic but what people don’t realise is how funny he is.

“He has such a dry sense of humour.”

Even with a wedding on the cards, Zaraah admitted she’s excited at the prospect of becoming an EastEnders bride – if it happens.

She gushed: “I’m so excited!

“In the Green Room, there are pictures of all the EastEnders brides, and although I see them every day, I can’t help but stop and look.

“It would be such an iconic moment if it happened, to be an EastEnders bride – that’s a big ‘un.

“I loved Tanya Branning’s wedding dress because she was so delicate and princess-like, and Martine McCutcheon’s as Tiffany Mitchell was pretty lavish, too.”

It all depends on Gray’s next move, as his list of victims continues to grow.

It includes his wife Chantelle who he pushed onto an upturned knife before leaving her to bleed to death while he made it look like an accident.

Later Tina Carter worked out what he had done and confronted him.

He murdered her in cold blood in his living room and disposed of her body – though some fans still think she’s alive and being held captive.

And months later he killed Kush Kazemi to stop Whitney Dean moving to Dubai with him.



The actress has no idea how long she’ll remain in the soap with Gray still on the loose
