EastEnders fans rejoiced on Wednesday night when antagonist Reiss Colwell was brutally killed off after the Queen Vic exploded.

The blaze began after Cindy Beale pushed her husband Ian into the path of a car being driven by Reiss, who swerved and crashed into the Queen Vic.

However, the vehicle collided straight into gas canisters and many Walford legends were trapped inside amid the chaos, with their fates uncertain.

And Wednesday’s episode claimed its first victim as Reiss perished in the ᴅᴇᴀᴅly fire in a shocking twist.

He returned to the Queen Vic to see Sonia when Bianca pushed him in the path of a bathtub, which fell from the ceiling, seemingly killing the soap villain.
