Shirley Carter left EastEnders fans lost for words after last night’s episode, where she revealed a surprising tactic to distract the Chairman of Weyland and co when he came to deliver bad news.

Linda, Mick and the rest of the Carter clan were waiting nervously to hear what the Chairman – AKA Uncle Hugo – had decided about their offer to pay the £60k repair bill in instalments.
Proving that she was only too happy to take one for the team, Shirley told her fam: “Do you want me to distract them with my Sharon Stone thing?
“Because it’s your lucky days, I’m not wearing any drawers!”
Her raunchy suggestion left son, Mick, sickened. He told her: “Mother, keep your mouth and legs closed!”
It wasn’t just Mick that was grossed out about the knicker-less comment. Viewers took to Twitter to share their shock.
One viewer pleaded: “#EastEnders Catchup..Shirley..Shall I do my Sharon Stone thing?..Please God NOOOOO.”
Another tweeted: “#EastEnders Now feeling a bit queasy after #Shirley told us about her ‘Sharon Stone’ impression. Just before dinner.”
While a third added: “Shirley not wearing any panties is not what I wanted to hear in a lifetime #EastEnders.”
They faced the Chairman of Grafton Hill last night and were told they either had to pay up within five weeks – or get out.
The Chairman – who is actually Fi Browning’s Uncle Hugo – gave them another option. They could sell the pub to the company, and walk away with some cash in their pockets.
After realising that Fi wasn’t there to help them, but was actually a snake who’d been feeding information to the Chairman, Mick dished out a very Cockney tongue lashing.
But only after Linda had swilled – thrown a drink over – two-faced, Fi.
Mick signed the papers with his bulldog Lady Di’s name because the Chairman is a ‘dog’ and he then told him to get out or he would “stick my East London trotter up your ‘arris.”
For anyone who doesn’t speak fluent Dyer – this simply means he’d kick him up the backside.
EastEnders fans were in absolute stitches over the line, taking to Twitter to share their joy.
One viewer tweeted: “Danny Dyer’s just closed out an episode of #EastEnders with: ‘get out of my pub before I stick my east London trotter up your ‘arris’ and I’m dead.”
Another added: “I’m gonna stick my trotter right up your ‘arris. Poetry I tell ya!”
And a third said: “Before I stick my East London trotter right up your ‘arris – quote of the year!!”
The drama all came after Linda finally called Fi out and sent her on her way.
She told the toffy-nosed blonde: “I know your game. Pretending to be on our side, be our mate, when it was your plan all along to get us to sign everything away.”
Linda then launched her drink at her rival – who fans know is the daughter of infamous villain, James Willmott-Brown.
She added: “That’s all of the Queen Vic you’ll ever get. Now get out, the pair of ya.”
But it doesn’t look like the Carters have seen the last of Fi and her clan, with the Chairman throwing a very Aunt-Babe like threat at them before they left.
He said: “I’ll be back – and next time I see you I’ll take great pleasure in evicting you.”
Could Willmott-Brown and his brood have another plan up their sleeves to get the Carters out of the pub.
