EastEnders' Chantelle and Kheerat are locked in the office together - leaving Gray raging

EastEnders ' Chantelle Atkins flirted with her boss Kheerat Panesar at work before a powercut left them locked in the office together on Tuesday's episode.

Chantelle was called into work at the call centre and Gray Atkins was already angry at her for that, but she explained she promised she would help them set up.

She told abusive husband Gray that if he needed anything, to just call her and he would be right there.

When Gray called the office and demanded she come and meet him to help look for Whitney, Chantelle's phone call cut out as the power went.

This left them locked in the building, and Gray was absolutely furious at Chantelle, having already snapped at her earlier on.

She forgave him for assaulting her a few weeks back, and had been understanding as he lost his job after not being able to secure Whitney's bail.

But as Chantelle and Kheera grow closer during the lock in and he shows kindness towards her, will she reveal to him that Gray is abusing her?

One viewer tweeted: "They’re building it up for these two... It’s only a matter of time before Kheerat saves Chantelle. #EastEnders ".

"Kheerat: You know where the door is. Chantelle: Yeah I do. Trouble is, I can't walk through it. (how brilliant is that line from Chantelle? Sums her whole situation up) #EastEnders " added another.

"I fear for Chantelle. You know Gray will only blame her for being locked in. #EastEnders " wrote a third.

"Chantelle and Kheerat stuck together. Interresting... #EastEnders " pondered another.

Another viewer predicted: " #EastEnders Gray is enraged already with Chantelle not answering her phone and not being there with him to save Whitney from Michaella. I have a feeling his rage will spiral out of control and Gray will end up killing Michaella as Whitney makes her escape."

EastEnders airs Mondays at 8pm, and Tuesdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
