Chelsea Fox will be seen taking action in upcoming EastEnders scenes, when Gray Atkins catches her speaking to Whitney Dean.
In Friday night's (January 7) episode, Denise invited Chelsea and Gray for dinner but Gray manipulated the situation in a bid to isolate Chelsea from her family.
It saw Chelsea, desperate to get away from her killer husband, secretly meet with Whitney. But in a shocking turn of events, Gray arrived only to startle the pair of them.

To throw him off the scent, Chelsea grabbed a drink to throw in Whitney's face, hoping that Gray will believe that she isn't buying into Whitney's 'poison'.
Next week, at the hospital, Chelsea makes it clear to Denise she wasn't impressed to hear they were all having a dinner while Jordan is fighting for his life, but Denise explains that Gray told her to give them space. Chelsea also confronts Gray but he lies and says it must have been a misunderstanding.
Later at home, Chelsea vents to Whitney but she encourages Chelsea to stay in the game in an effort to catch him as soon as he slips up. To stretch the pretence a little further on that same night, Chelsea hosts a dinner for Gray to play happy families... for now.
