EastEnders villain Ravi's secret crime boss FINALLY exposed in identity swap twist

EastEnders fans have been desperate to find out who Ravi Gulati's boss really is ever since the sneaky character first made a secret call to the mysterious criminal.

In recent scenes, Ravi recruited Keanu Taylor to join him in the criminal underworld as the dad-of-two desperately tries to prove himself to Sharon Watts.

The final instalment of the BBC soap this week saw Keanu play it cool when a suspicious DS Giles turned up and quizzed him on what's inside a delivery for the restaurant owner.

Keanu refused to accept the detective's deal and hit back demanding a search warrant when he's asked to open the boxes.

Later, DS Giles turned up to confront Ravi and Keanu before revealing he is, in fact, the mysterious Christos.

The villain told the duo he wanted to make sure they would hold up under pressure before gifting them with anymore work.

Christos admitted he was impressed and offered them a job on Monday, the day of Albie's christening, which Keanu went to turn down but appeared to change his mind when Ravi handed him a huge stack of cash.

The new arrival is played by actor and comedian Alexander Theo.

Alexander shared an image of the infamous Albert Square sign on Instagram with the caption: "Hey! Catch me in tonight's episode of @bbceastenders playing Christos.

EastEnders spoilers confirm Keanu will find himself in hot water with the police next week.

On the morning of Albie's christening, Ravi reminds Keanu that there's big money on the table for the delivery job. Keanu is conflicted until he gets his nose put out of joint by the flash present Martin and Zack have bought his son.

Keanu makes an excuse to slope off and meet them at the church before Ravi gives him the details of the job and tells Keanu he'll be transporting drugs in white goods.

He finds himself delayed and late for the christening, so he parks outside and rushes into church. However, during the christening, the van alarm goes off and Keanu rushes outside to check with Sharon in tow but the police are waiting and they arrest Keanu for intent to supply.

EastEnders airs on BBC One from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm.
