EastEnders’ Chelsea Fox is in for a shock when she’s faced with an ominous reminder of her ex-husband, killer Gray Atkins.
The disgraced lawyer played by Toby-Alexander Smith is behind bars after he confessed committing multiple murders in Walford, including that of his wife Chantelle Atkins. Following Chantelle’s death, Gray married Chelsea, who’s also the mother of his son Jordan.
As Chelsea already has a lot on her plate after she was demoted from her job as a bar manager, she will crack when she comes face-to-face with her troubled past.

On that occasion, Chelsea insisted that baby Jordan would go nowhere near Gray in prison, while Bernie also ruled out bringing Chantelle’s children, Mia and Mack, to see their dad.
