But while the likes of Mel herself and Phil and Sharon Mitchell had decided that Hunter Owen had stolen it, viewers were split.

They thought everyone from Hunter, to Sharon, to the gangster Aidan Maguire had taken the cash.

So when it was finally exposed that hapless bar manager Woody took it, viewers were shocked.

In last night’s episode Mel’s paramour Jack Branning used his detective skills to work out who it was so he could keep Mel in Walford.

After questioning half of Albert Square, Jack discovered Big Mo’s secret psychic gifts and quickly realised that she knew who the thief was.

And when she was double-crossed by Woody, she told Jack it was him and sent him to find her.

Catching up to him as he tried to flee through the tube station, Woody was somewhat repentant and handed the cash over to Jack to return to Mel and the Mitchells.

A mournful Woody told him: “I’ve lived in some beautiful places, and Walford ain’t one of them.

“Tell everyone I’m sorry.”
