EastEnders spoilers follow for Monday’s (June 1) episode, which can now be streamed on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air at 7:30pm.

Chelsea Fox’s (Zaraah Abrahams) world is set to turn upside down in EastEnders after son Jordan Fox (Jahsaiah Williams) was unknowingly hit by a car as a dramatic week of episodes – all set on the same night – commenced.

Jordan, son of Chelsea and serial killer Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), was attending the wedding of Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) with his mum.

Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan) offered to look after him for a while so that Chelsea could enjoy a drink and a dance with Zack Hudson (James Farrar).

Later, Zack and Chelsea shared a moment outside the marquee and it looked as if sparks could fly – until Jordan appeared out of nowhere, much to Chelsea’s shock.

Jordan wanted to go home or wanted to play on his mum’s phone but Chelsea said no to both, urging him to go back inside.

Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), meanwhile, decided to take mum Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) – who was drunk – home from the ceremony and back to Albert Square.

Kathy, however, proceeded to mess around in his fancy car, much to Ian’s chagrin. He started the engine and reversed backwards, clearly hitting something in the process.

When Kath questioned him on what he’d reversed into, Ian said it was the bins nearby – unaware that he’d knocked down Jordan.

The question is: will Jordan be okay? will he be found in time? And will Ian and Kathy realise what they’ve done?

The devastating accident occurred on the very same night Jordan’s grandmother Denise Fox (Diane Parish) received a devastating blood cancer diagnosis.

Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) encouraged her to share the news with her loved ones but will what has happened to Jordan mean that Denise will be forced to delay?

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One or stream from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
