Are Chantelle and Kheerat going to have an affair in EastEnders?
Official spoilers have revealed that a power cut will trap Chantelle alone with Kheerat at the Panesars’ call centre next week in EastEnders.
This would be the perfect moment for them to embark upon an affair, but EastEnders are keeping shtum about what actually happens during the power cut and fans will have to tune in to find out.
Fans have been pointing out the chemistry between Kheerat and Chantelle for weeks and hoping for an affair.
One fan tweeted earlier this month: “Kheerat and Chantelle chemistry is off the charts. Make it happen #EastEnders.”
Another added: “The chemistry between Chantelle and Kheerat is too real! I sense an affair starting up very soon… #EastEnders.”
What happened to Chantelle and Jag’s potential romance in EastEnders?
EastEnders fans will remember that when the Panesar clan first arrived in Walford several months ago, it became clear that Jags and Chantelle recognised each other.
The pair obviously had history as they got chatting, with Chantelle telling him he looked “amazing”.
Jags then revealed to his brothers that he’d known Chantelle from school and that they had even dated.
Viewers were initially desperate for Chantelle and Jags to get it on, but have since noticed chemistry between the former hairdresser and Jag’s younger brother Kheerat.
How does Gray react to the situation in EastEnders?
Gray is furious when he realises he can’t get in touch with Chantelle next week and immediately assumes the worst.
The lawyer is already at breaking point as he struggles with the pressures of Whitney’s upcoming murder trial.
Knowing this, Chantelle is immediately worried about how Gray will react when she’s trapped alone with Kheerat.
What will Gray do when he finally gets his hands on Chantelle – and will he stumble in on her romancing Kheerat?
Given how violent he’s been in the past when Chantelle has barely dared to breathe, things aren’t looking great for Chantelle either way.
It’s also possible that Gray will lose his temper in front of Kheerat and expose himself as Chantelle’s abuser.
But with exact plot details being kept under wraps, fans will have to tune in to find out.
