EastEnders fans 'work out' major death cliff-hanger in Christmas preview as they spot 'clue'

EastEnders fans were left reeling after Monday's episode as a murder mystery plotline was teased - giving viewers 10 months to speculate before it actually airs.

The BBC soap aired its first ever 'flash-forward' scene, which saw several characters gathered in the Queen Vic at Christmas and staring down in horror at an unidentified dead body. Sharon Watts appeared in a blood-stained wedding dress, while Stacey Slater was shown with bloodied hands and Denise Fox clutched a broken champagne bottle in the dramatic preview scene.

All will be revealed this Christmas - but until then, fans have been left guessing about what it could all mean - and most importantly, who has been bumped off. Scouring the two-minute clip for clues, some fans spotted one key detail that they believe might have given the game away.
