EASTENDERS fans are terrified something bad will happen to Chelsea at the hands of Gray before Kheerat can rescue her.
Chelsea has been living with new husband Gray after trying to escape his clutches and agreed to help Kheerat build evidence to expose him for his abusive ways.
The tired new mum spends much of Monday’s episode dodging registering baby Jordan’s birth because she does not want to have Gray’s name on the birth certificate.
By not naming him as the father, it gives Chelsea more of a chance to not be trapped with him.
When she pops out to grab some food from the cafe, she puts on a brave face after running into Kheerat and Whitney.
But Whitney who is a domestic abuse survivor could tell Chelsea wasn’t being completely honest and confronted her before she got home.
Chelsea admitted feeling exhausted because she knew she was not safe living with Gray, but was toughing it out to help Kheerat’s case.
“I can’t sleep in my own bed… I have to sleep with one eye open,” she told Whitney.
The red hair then stormed off to Kheerat’s house to confront him over his plans.
Whitney pointed out it as not safe for Chelsea to stay living with Gray and told Kheerat to find another way to expose him.

Taking Whitney’s advice onboard, Kheerat dropped in to Gray and Whitney’s house under the pretence he was bringing them some home cooked food.
When Gray went to put it in the over, Kheerat took it as a chance to let Chelsea know the change of plans.
They dramatically whispered in the hallway so that Gray wouldn’t hear them, but fans were worried Gray will find out about the escape plan and hurt Chelsea.
HOW YOU CAN GET HELP:
Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families:
- Always keep your phone nearby.
- Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
- If you are in danger, call 999.
- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
- Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis – messageinfo@supportline.org.uk.
