EastEnders teased Kheerat Panesar could be killed off in a horrifying new storyline on the BBC soap.
The fan favourite was threatened by his own father Nish Panesar, who called his son a "snake" and claimed he was on "borrowed time".
Nish was talking to his secret son Ravi Gulati and was furious with Kheerat for exposing his dark past to his other children Vinny and Ash.
