EastEnders Reveals New Love Interest for Gray Atkins

Many of you were left wondering if a new romance was on the cards for the resident killer earlier this month when you spotted a look between Gray Atkins and Chelsea Fox.

The local residents of Albert Square are completely oblivious to the fact they are living next door to a serial killer, but he looks set to become a hero within the Fox household next week when he jumps to Chelsea's defence.

When Chelsea is arrested for possessing stolen goods, Chelsea is quick to suggest to Denise that Gray should represent her.

Instead of asking Gray directly, Chelsea decides to ask him out on a date first, a tactic that pays off but Gray's not overly impressed.

After the flirty date, Sheree becomes infuriated with her houseguest for showing complete disregard over her arrest, but Chelsea explains that she'll be fine with Gray by her side.

After going over her case, Chelsea asks Gray out for another drink, but this time the pair are spotted by Karen and Mitch. How will they react?

Speaking about Chelsea's latest drama, actor Zaraah Abrahams told Digital Spy: "She's dealt with worse! She's seen people murdered in front of her, she just tried to smuggle drugs across the world, as far as she's concerned it's just a couple of stolen handbags, worse things have happened in the world. 

"She's just so confident in the fact that she thinks she can win anybody over, she doesn't think about the law and realise there are rules – you can't just flash a smile. But that's the way she's gotten away with things her whole life. When she has gotten to that point where it's gotten really bad – things tend to work out in her favour. So that gives her the confidence in thinking she can just get away with it again."

EastEnders air these scenes next week on BBC One and iPlayer.
