Stacey Slater now 3/1 favourite to be the Eastenders Christmas Killer
Betting remains available for who the Eastenders Christmas Killer will be and it's Stacey Slater who is the favourite with UK Betting Sites.
February saw a special episode of the long-running soap that flashed-forward to Christmas Day, showing main characters on the show standing around a dead body in the Queen Vic.
The identity of that dead body remains unknown 5 months on but speculation in recent weeks has seen Keanu or Reiss rumoured to be the dead man according to reports in The Sun.
Stacey Slater has long been the favourite to be the Christmas Whodunnit Killer and that has stayed the same with Ladbrokes suggesting there's a 25% chance of her being the killer according to the odds.
| Which Eastenders Character is the killer? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Stacey Slater | 3/1 | 25% |
| Denise Fox | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Linda Carter | 4/1 | 20% |
| Sharon Watts | 4/1 | 20% |
| Suki Panesar | 4/1 | 20% |
| Kathy Beale | 5/1 | 16.7% |

Denise Fox second favourite in the market with 22% chance of being the killer according to the odds
The latest betting odds say that there's a 22% chance that Denise Fox is the killer with the betting market staying unchanged in recent months.
The flash-forward shows Denise with a broken bottle in her hand while Sharon confirms that the male character is dead and those signs point towards Denise being involved.
Interestingly the stars of the show do not know who the killer is with various interviews with the actresses discussing who the killer will be available.
Diane Parish, the actress who plays Denise on Eastenders told Radio Times, "I don’t know why but I think it’s me. I’m really scared it’s me."
The Christmas shows will likely be filmed soon as they prepare ahead for a busy schedule so we may well get the story leaked.
Former Eastenders star Danny Dyer 6/1 to enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle this year
Former Eastenders actor Danny Dyer is now down to just 6/1 to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! with the series on the way in the next few months.
Dyer left Eastenders last Christmas in a massive storyline where his character Mike Carter was killed off dramatically.
Fast forward a year on and we may see the popular star head into the jungle this year with his odds now shortening from 22/1 to just 6/1.
Dyer was as short as 10/11 to appear in the jungle last year but with such a big storyline taking place on Eastenders for his character it was probably a big reason why he didn't go in.
William Hill now make him 6/1 to head Down Under later this year and he could well be a big signing for the show.
