    Fans have been putting in their bets for tonight's episode, with many claiming this week that Amanda Holden is behind Panda and that Chris Kamara is Doughnuts.

    However, one very subtle clue tonight had viewers instantly heading to social media with a brand new guess.

    During the introduction to Firework’s performance, the camera panned around a decorated room.

    It then zoomed in on a neon light in the shape of a square that simply read ‘ALBER’ – a potential abbreviation for Albert Square.

    Many viewers would have thought nothing of the shot, but nothing gets past eagle-eyed ITV viewers.

    Quickly jumping onto Twitter, a number of viewers guessed that Maisie Smith – who portrayed Tiffany Butcher – was the celeb behind the mask.

    One confident fan penned: “Firework must be from EastEnders with that Albert Square clue.”

    EastEnders fans seriously distracted by baby blunder

    GRAY Atkins put his plan into action last week as he registered his son Jordan’s birth alone.

    However, EastEnders viewers were puzzled and wondered how the serial killer could do so in the absence of his wife Chelsea.

    Baffled EastEnders viewers all took their confusion to Twitter with one writing: “it’s against the law for a dad to register a birth without the mother? Gray wouldn’t have been allowed?”

    One startled viewer chimed in: “I didn’t know dads could register the birth on their own.”

    “Thought mums register the birth? So confused”, wrote a third social media user.

    “Didn’t think fathers could register the child’s birth without the mother”, penned another viewer.

    A fifth commented: “He shouldn’t have been allowed to register the birth without Chelsea there. You can’t put the father’s name on the birth certificate without them there. Should go both ways!”

    However, according to the UK Government either parent can register a child’s birth on their own and can include both parents’ details if the couple are married or in a civil partnership.

    Faith and Stevie come to blows (Continued…)

    Stevie initially encouraged Faith to get back into the dating scene but has been growing increasingly concerned for her friend, telling her that she believes she is taking some poor and risky choices out of pain.

    Worried, Stevie turns to Dylan for advice… which only leads him to call Faith into his office for a very awkward chat.

    Faith wrongly assumes that Stevie has told Dylan about her one night stand gone wrong with Angus and is furious at her friend for interfering.

    Stevie insists that she is just worried about Faith and her well-being.

    But Faith only sees red and is unable to hold any of her punches in front of Matthew.

    Faith lashes out, chastising Stevie for her history with men and making hurtful comments about her friends' relationship with her late sister Emma, who was tragically left in a vegetative state after being treated by an inexperienced Ethan back in 2016, following a car accident.

    The blow is too much to handle for Stevie and as Faith walks away, it becomes clear that their friendship is over for good.

    Can Faith and Stevie work things out?
