EastEnders fans left feeling sick and shaking after Gray abuses Chantelle

EastEnders viewers were left feeling sick and disgusted tonight, as Gray put Chantelle through harrowing abuse.

Tonight's episode saw Chantelle borrow money off Kheerat, he said it was a lot of money and she admitted she was divorcing Gray, after going to see a lawyer earlier that morning.

Meanwhile Gray was browsing the internet an advert popped up for a divorce lawyer, his suspicions were intensified when he went to check the search history on the device to see that it had been cleared.

Chantelle soon came in from work and Gray asked her where she'd been, she said she'd been to see a client and he said: "Is that who that slutty top is for, this client, did he enjoy seeing my wife dressed like that?

"My wife, remember that, remember our vows to love honour, to be honest with each other, well I'm starting divorce proceedings, my life Mac and Mia's life, we're better with you gone."

Chantelle begged him and said: "Gray they are my children."

But he replied: "I've already started the ball rolling, now get out of my sight."

Chantelle went upstairs to have a bath and Gray stormed into the room a few minutes later and said: "What did you not understand about me saying I want you out of my sight.
