The couple, who exchanged vows in a gorgeous ceremony in 2008, looked happier than ever as they cuddled up for a kiss in front of a Christmas tree. Scott looked cosy in a beige knitted jumper, while he wife looked stylish in a white vest with silver detailing.

TV fans have been experiencing deja-vu after recent episodes of EastEnders saw six of the Square's female residents team up to dispose of a body after a shocking murder storyline. On Christmas Day, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) as he strangled her best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), just moments after Denise Fox (Diane Parish) had hit Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) with a wine bottle after he attacked his wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).

Fans of EastEnders tuned in last night (December 25) for the explosive Christmas Day episode where a murder was finally unveiled. Viewers of the BBC soap have been waiting 10 months to find out who was killed in the Queen Vic - and who the Christmas killer could be.

BBC EastEnders fans reckon Keanu Taylor "isn't really dead" after spotting a clue in the Christmas murder scene. Viewers tuning into the Christmas Day episode of the BBC soap finally found out who met their maker, as Keanu Taylor was brutally killed by Linda Carter in a huge twist. It was initially believed that Denise Fox had murdered Nish Panesar with a bottle.

EastEnders fans are sure that another massive twist is in store as Nish Panesar - who acted as one of the BBC soap's biggest bluffs during a shocking night of twists and turns - will be framed for Keanu Taylor's murder.

EastEnders fans are in fear of a shocking twist involving Dean Wicks, after the surprise murder of Keanu Taylor. On Christmas Day, viewers were on tenterhooks as the much-anticipated Christmas killer storyline played out. Back in February, a scene had shown Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Stacey Slater, Denise Fox and Sharon Watts standing over a dead body.The Christmas Day episode finally revealed that the ladies were gathered around Nish Panesar.

EastEnders fans were left in shock and "couldn't believe" what they were seeing as the BBC soap finally revealed the identity of the Christmas Day murder victim and the mystery killer, ending 10 months of speculation from viewers. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this year's special episode since the BBC soap aired a special flash forward episode back in February teasing a shock death with Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) gathered around a dead body at the Queen Vic.

Christmas Strictly viewers were left stunned following Gorka's singing performance.

Lacey Turner is one of EastEnders' most-loved actresses, having portrayed Stacey Slater since 2004 and tackled some huge storylines over the years. Lacey, 35, will once again take centre stage at Christmas on the BBC One soap this year, with Stacey being one of The Six and linked to the mystery murder on Christmas Day.There's a possibility she could even be the murderer, as it wouldn't be out of character for Stacey, who previously killed villainous Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb) on Christmas Day in 2008. Lacey's life away from Albert Square is worlds away from Stacey's, especially her love life.

EastEnders' Jack Branning might be the unlucky one to meet his end this Christmas, after his recent actions placed him directly at odds with three members of The Six. In the final scene before the big Christmas Day episode, a huge clue may have confirmed Jack's fate after he crossed paths with three of the six Christmas murder suspects, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Suki Panesar.

Donna Kelce will be spending Christmas with only one of her famous, football playing sons.

Tuesday night's usual showing of EastEnders has been cancelled as BBC One's schedule was altered to make room for the Sports Personality of the Year awards. Disappointed fans of the soap may be happier to learn that there will be an extra episode on Friday to make up for the missing instalment.

As Christmas Day approaches, EastEnders fans have been left on tenterhooks waiting to see who will be killed at Christmas - and who the killer may be. Earlier this year a flash-forward saw Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) discover a dead male body in the Queen Vic.

EastEnders producer Chris Clenshaw has let slip a massive clue that Stacey Slater might be the Christmas killer because of her dress. On Sharon Watts and Keanu Taylor's wedding day this Christmas, one of the show's male characters will be dramatically killed off, in scenes teased in special flash-forward scenes earlier this year. Right now, there are seven men assumed to be potential victims, with their fates remaining tightly under wraps.

With the nail-biting conclusion of EastEnders’ Christmas whodunnit storyline now just over a week away, eagle eyed fans are eagerly clutching at the crumbs of clues that may give an indication of which star will meet his maker, and who will deal the killing blow. So far, multiple theories have continued to swirl among fans - but after Thursday’s episode, more and more viewers are convinced that Jack Branning could be the mysterious victim to die, with multiple suspects in the frame to lay claim to his life.

EastEnders fans have spotted a subtle nod towards Kathy Cotton’s role in The Six this Christmas as she decorated her house for the festive period. Kathy is one of six women involved in the huge Christmas Day murder alongside Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox and Stacey Slater.

There could be more than one death in EastEnders as the year comes to a close. Actor Matt di Angelo, who recently reprised his role as Dean Wicks after seven years, teased that the festive episodes could lead to another death. The 36-year-old made a shock return to Walford this October, giving Linda Carter the surprise of her life.

Casualty fans have been left in shock by a trailer for the new series which appears to tease a blood-soaked end for long-serving character Charlie Fairhead. Charlie, played by Derek Thompson, has starred in the BBC medical drama for nearly 40 years and is the only remaining original character from the first episode, broadcast in September 1986.
