EastEnders Christmas: Whitney Fights Alone

EastEnders' serial killer Gray Atkins will find support from an unlikely ally in the run up to his Christmas Day wedding.

Kheerat and Gray have spent months butting heads after it was revealed Chantelle had developed feelings for her neighbour.

Since the Mitchell house fire, Gray and Kheerat have remained civil, but their friendship will blossom in the run up to Christmas, something that infuriates Whitney Dean who is becoming increasingly suspicious of Gray.

Next week their friendship will blossom further when Kheerat steps in to help Gray get his hands on more work through Ben Mitchell, leaving Gray extremely grateful.

Things take another unlikely turn later this month when Gray asks Kheerat to attend his wedding, and he agrees.

With their bond growing by the day, Whitney becomes frustrated when she fails to get Kheerat to see through his lies.

As she witnesses Kheerat agreeing to attending his wedding, Whitney realises she's on her own in her quest to expose him.

Desperate to get some answers, Whitney questions Kheerat over his new friendship with the lawyer, but when the discussion turns heated, Whitney is shocked when Kheerat jumps to Gray's defence.

Can Whitney do this alone?

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
