EastEnders Chantelle Taylor's 'gangster' ex-love interest reappears amid abuse storyline

Chantelle Taylor appeared to be stunned tonight as she saw a ghost from her past - who happened to be one of the new 'gangster' Pansear brothers on the scene.

Jags, played by Amar Adatia, appeared on EastEnders tonight with older brother Kheerat and younger brother Vinny as they tried to find their sister Ash.

However Jags was shocked when he spotted Chantelle waiting at the bus stop while waiting for her husband and children.

Chantelle also seemed to recognise him and stared up in confusion as he walked off with his brother Kheerat.

Gray also appeared to be disturbed by Jags' reappearance later, glaring at him as he took the rubbish out.

Later, Jags confesses to Kheerat, who asks what's wrong with him.

He says: "You know that girl I used to date back in school - Chantelle?"

"Tall, fit," Kheerat recalls. "I remember you crushing hard for her."

"We had a date," Jags hits back.

Kheerat responds mockingly: "Yeah? Did she know about it? Cos stalking doesn't count."

Upset, Jags walks off as his brother calls after him: "Oh Jags don't be like that. Where are you going?

"Pub," Jags replies.

Chantelle has been having an incredibly hard time recently at the hands of her abusive husband and suffered a harrowing miscarriage.

Considering that Chantelle and Gray have been described as "childhood sweethearts", it is highly likely that the three know one another from school.

How will Gray react to the idea of Jags and Chantelle catching up?

*EastEnders airs tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One
