Chelsea Fox plays a dangerous game with Gray Atkins in Friday’s episode of EastEnders (7.45 pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Chelsea Fox seems completely unfazed by the fact she was arrested for being in possession of stolen goods and Sheree Trueman can’t believe she’s being so casual about it! 

When Chelsea insists that Gray Atkins is her solicitor and she has confidence that he’ll sort things out for her, there’s also the not so small question of paying for his services… 

Chelsea has that sorted too and insists as long as she keeps flirting with him, she’s sure he’ll waive his fee.

Chelsea may be used to getting her own way where men are concerned, but she has no idea that Gray was an abuser and a murderer! Is she getting herself into something she won’t be able to handle?
