EastEnders fans spot music clue that gives away major Phil Mitchell twist ahead of murder

EastEnders viewers think they have rumbled a major twist set to air later this year for Phil Mitchell and one other character.

Currently, Phil is engaged to Kat Slater and is set to marry her at Christmas after a change to their wedding plans.

But a recent flashforward clip has thrown everything up in the air, and now fans aren't sure what is on the cards.

In the clip, six female characters appear in shock and some are injured or covered in blood, while a mystery male character is dead on the floor.

The glimpse to the future reveals someone will die on Christmas Day, but that isn't the only thing that was revealed.

As well as a major hint that Lola Pearce dies before the episode, amid her terminal brain tumour battle, one character was in a wedding dress.

In a surprising twist, Phil's ex-wife Sharon Watts is seen in a wedding dress in the pub and the venue is decorated for someone's big day.

It's clear a wedding reception is about to unfold there, just as a character is killed and either Sharon, Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale or Denise Fox are the murderer it seems.

Back to the wedding details, the dead man is also wearing a suit and cufflinks - the same cufflinks that Phil recently wore.

Amid speculation he will be killed off this Christmas, others are sure he could be the man Sharon is apparently marrying.

Fans spotted a music clue on Tuesday night that could confirm a reunion for the exes.

In a scene in the episode, Kat and Phil were talking about their wedding being pushed back, with Little Mix's song Shout Out to My Ex playing in the background.

Fans immediately took this as a sign that Phil and Kat were going to split up before their wedding, and that perhaps Phil would reconcile with Sharon, his ex.

So was this a clue, and will Sharon and Phil be tying the knot again this Christmas instead of Phil and Kat?

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "Why do I feel like they were hinting at Phil & Kat splitting up & a Sharon & Phil reunion? Shout Out To My Ex playing in the background when Phil & Kat were bickering in the cab office & Phil & Sharon working together... could Sharon be marrying Phil at Christmas?"

Another viewer responded, referencing the picture of Lola on the bar: "I think she is cos of the photo of Lola on the bar! And Lola is a Mitchell!"

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
