BBC EastEnders fans ask if announcer 'is ok' as they make pre-show blunder

After last week's intense drama as Gray Atkins was finally uncovered as a murderer, EastEnders fans have been tuning in this week to see the aftermath of the horror on the square. The smart lawyer has deceived his family and neighbours for more than a year after his long-suffering wife Chantelle lost her life in harrowing scenes when Gray violently pushed her onto an upturned knife in an open dishwasher before leaving her to die.

Months later the killer struck again when he killed Tina Carter following her discovery that he had killed his wife before he buried her body under the Argee Bhajee.

Tina's body was recently found leading to Gray's unraveling that ultimately saw him arrested in dramatic scenes after confessing what he did to Chantelle to his new wife, Chelsea, and Chantelle's mother Karen.

Before he was caught, Grey also confessed to Whitney that he was responsible for the death of her fiance Kush after he pushed him under a tube.

With the fallout from Gray's previously unknown acts of terror in Albert Square now being aired, on Tuesday night, fans of the BBC One soap were baffled and asked if the networks announcer 'is ok' after making a big pre-show blunder.

Introducing the latest episode, the voiceover said: "But now on BBC One his lies are unraveling, but how long does Gray how before Walford finds out the truth?"

And EastEnders viewers were soon taking to social media to comment on the mistake.

@3012Becca tweeted: "Is the BBC announcer ok? Gray has been exposed already love. #EastEnders."

"Er, did I hear right from the BBC One announcer? 'How long until Walford finds out the truth'. #EastEnders," @WalfordCentral commented.

@tomgardineruk joked: "How long does Gray have till Walford finds out the truth? Excuse me has the BBC announcer been sleeping? Lol #EastEnders."

"That BBC announcer missed last week, didn’t she? #EastEnders," @RobInnes87 added.

The first episode of the week saw Whitney having to tell Kat and Stacey about Kush's death before breaking the news to his best mate Martin Fowler.

Furious with what he was told, Martin marched over to Gray's house and threw two bricks through the window, startling Denise, Kim and Jack who were inside packing some stuff for Chelsea who was in the hospital with her son, Jordan.

Elsewhere, things took a scary turn when Tommy Moon was seen putting a knife in his backpack after being picked on at school and pulled up about his work.

During Tuesday night's episode Gray's children, Mack and Mia, discovered to truth about their dad's crime while the Carter's got some news about Shirley after she was attacked by Gray and left with a head trauma on the floor of The Vic.
