Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans have spotted a grim error in Kim Fox's prison storyline after she was sent to jail last night (Monday, July 3) following a panic attack in court. 

Kim had been convinced that she was going to prison in the run-up to her court appearance for crashing her new car into the Argee Bhajee earlier this year, but her friends and family brushed off her concerns, convinced she would get community service at the very most. 

However, Kim has been plagued with panic attacks since the accident, and despite trying to hide them from her loved ones, Denise and Howie know that she needs professional help.

But, before they could get Kim an appointment with a doctor, Kim found herself sent to jail in a shock twist in last night's EastEnders after she suffered a panic attack in the dock and the judge didn't take kindly to the disruption in court.

Kim's family watched in horror as she was carted off to jail, but while fans were heartbroken for poor Kim, they also couldn't help but notice an error in the storyline as Kim's appearance in court played out.

It was seeing her accident playing out on CCTV in the court that kicked started Kim's panic attack, but viewers noticed that while the cameras managed to capture Kim's car plunging into the side of the Argee Bhajee from every angle, they conveniently missed Walford serial killer Gray Atkins dumping Tina Carter's body there back in December 2020.

They took to social media to share their findings...

Fans also took to Twitter to share how upsetting it was so see the usually bubbly Kim looking so panicked as she was taken to a prison cell... 

The good news is Kim won't be in jail for long, because EastEnders spoilers for Monday, July 10 have revealed we will see Kim being welcomed home by her family.

After doing her time Kim is feeling overwhelmed and leaves the prison before her family can collect her, but when she finally gets back to the Square she's stunned to be confronted by her family and friends, who have gathered for a surprise welcome home party arranged by Felix Baker.

Now she is out of prison will Kim be able to get the medical help she so desperately needs?
