Theo Hawthorne will finally reveal himself to be Stacey Slater's stalker on EastEnders next week.

Stacey - played by Lacey Turner - has been targeted by a stalker in recent weeks. She decided to sign up to Secret Cams in a bid to earn more cash for her family amid the cost of living crisis and was stunned when men offered her lots of money to chat with her. One man 'Edmund' took a particular shine to her and started sending big sums of money to her in exchange for chats.

However, his requests soon went up a notch when he asked for more sexual things. When she rejected his requests, he turned nasty and decided to scare her by sending flowers to her door, meaning her stalker knew her address.

She was terrified, convinced it was someone who knew her in real life, and things got even worse last week when he broke into her house and cut up all her cam clothes. However, Theo has been there to support her throughout it all, despite her having no idea that he could be the one that has been targeting her both online and also in her home.

Next week on the BBC soap, Theo is convinced he's able to take their relationship to the next level, but Martin and Eve are horrified when they finally learn he is the one that's been stalking her. Stacey is oblivious, and Lily feeling unwell takes a priority. Whilst she's busy, Theo steps in to intercept Stacey's messages and hides her phone.

Whilst she tries to get him out the house, Lily goes into labour and they need to deliver the baby at home. With everything moving so quickly, Stacey rushes into the kitchen to get some towels but is horrified to be confronted by Theo. Stacey is trapped in the kitchen, whilst Jean supports Lily through her labour, but what is Theo's master plan?

Following Theo's arrival to Walford, some fans are convinced he could end up being the one to die this Christmas. One man will lose his life on Sharon's wedding day as the death plays out at Christmas - but is it Theo who has died, or is someone else at risk?
