EastEnders has confirmed that there will be a dangerous crowd crush at Peggy’s next week, with tragic
consequences for Albert Square.
Last month, Chelsea was demoted from her managerial role at Peggy’s and Penny was quick to nab her
job, leading to tension between the pair.
In scenes that will air next week, the Square is buzzing after the London carnival celebrations the previous weekend, but there is more partying to come in Walford.

She has a frosty exchange with Chelsea at work, and it’s then that Chelsea decides to sabotage her new boss’s big night.
Chelsea messes with the booking system and makes more tickets available online, despite the event having almost reached capacity already.
