EastEnders is planning a shock death at Christmas, with the identity of which character will die being kept secret

The Daily Star reports one of the show's main characters will be bumped off in a shock twist.

Show boss John Yorke told the publication the festive episodes are "an essential part of the season like the Queen's Speech."

He added: "To guide us through the episode is Mick and Linda were about to renew their wedding vows, I came up with this line 'Someone old, someone new, someone's dead, someone's blue'.

"We really want this Christmas to be full of shocks and surprises and we have some shocking twists coming up.
