EASTENDERS has confirmed there will be a horror death in spoilers from its dramatic 35th anniversary.

But actress Kellie Bright today hinted she won’t be the one to drown in the water – although she does get a little wet.
The drama starts to build ni Monday night’s episode, with Mick finding himself “doing the unthinkable” as his attention turns from Linda.
Although EastEnders’ anniversary falls on Wednesday, February 19 there will not be an episode aired that evening.
Instead the terrifying scenes will be shown on Friday. The listings reveal: “As chaos ensues, the grave situation for those on board the boat grows worse.”

Those thought to be at risk include Mick, played by Danny Dyer, and veterans Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean).
A source onthe BBC soap, which features the London river in its credits, said: Where better place for a major death than on the Thames itself, which is so central to the show?
