Chelsea Fox makes a surprise move over husband Gray Atkins in a new look at EastEnders scenes.
The photos show the next step in Chelsea's desperate bid to escape her abusive husband, after seeing his dark side for the first time since finding out he killed his ex-wife Chantelle Atkins.
Whitney Dean also knows the truth and agrees to a secret meeting with Chelsea at Ruby's club during Friday's (December 7) episode.

The women are horrified when Gray turns up unexpectedly, so Chelsea is forced to improvise by throwing a drink in Whitney's face so as not to face the wrath of her husband.
Chelsea next has to convince Gray she wasn't actually listening to anything Whitney was telling her. Meanwhile, Whitney is left being publicly humiliated for trying to help a friend out of a terrible situation.
This incident hopefully will not stop Chelsea from trying to get away from Gray, as EastEnders cast member Zaraah Abrahams has previously predicted her character won't give up easily.

"She's this sort of person where if someone is trying to murder her, they'd better run. She would fight with her mouth, whatever is closest to her. I don't think she'd go down lightly," the actress said.
Abrahams has also revealed that both her and co-star Shona McGarty would "absolutely love" for Chelsea and Whitney to ultimately bring down Gray together.
"We have been rooting for that all along," she said.
These new scenes between Chelsea, Whitney and Gray will be airing on Friday (January 7) at 8pm on BBC One.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
