Kellie Bright has dropped some tantalising teasers around the EastEnders flash-forward to Christmas 2023.

The dramatic instalment aired last night, and revealed there will be a Christmas Day death - and six women could be behind it.

All we know so far is that the victim is a man, but as for their identity, that's anyone's guess.

But according to actress Bright, she only just discovered it was a man on the floor after revealing that two outcomes were filmed!

"When we filmed it, they had Tish [Letitia Dean] film it two ways - 'he's dead' and 'she's dead'," Bright said.

She added: "There'll be lots of red herrings."

Speaking yesterday about who she thinks the victim is, Bright wondered if it's someone we haven't met on the show yet.

"I’ve got a feeling, I had a very strong feeling, or more of an idea that the victim was going to be a really big player in this show and I’ve slightly changed my mind, and I think it might be someone who is not in the show yet. A character that we’re yet to meet," she divulged.

As for whodunnit, Bright admitted: "Well, I mean this is all guesswork on my behalf, but in my mind, I haven’t done it. But that is just based on nothing other than what I think or felt when we were filming it.

"If I had to put money on it, I don’t think it’s me and I don’t think it’s Di [Diane Parish]. I also think it could be a group thing, with the women all protecting each other but who knows, they could be protecting Linda!"
